SAFETY ADVICE

Important: This machine is only for domestic use and is designed to wash, rinse and spin machine-washable textiles.

You must observe the following instructions. We refuse to accept any liability and the guarantee if you do not observe these recommendations since this could result in damage to equipment or physical injury.

• The machine must only be used in accordance with its normal method of operation in order to avoid damaging your washing and your machine. Only use washing and maintenance products certified for use in domestic washing machines.

• If you pre-treat your washing with stain removers, solvents or, in general, any inflammable or potentially highly explosive product, do not insert them into the machine immediately.

Furthermore, you are also recommended not to use solvents or products in aerosol cans near to your washing machine or any electrical appliance in general in a poorly ventilated room (risk of fire and explosion).

• If any incidents occur and you cannot resolve them using the remedies we recommend (see the section "INCIDENTS THAT MAY ARISE"), call in a qualified professional.

• If you have to open your machine during a cycle (for example, to add or remove washing), depending on the stage the programme is at (during washing essentially), be careful of the temperature inside the machine, which may be very high (risk of severe burns).

• When making a new installation, the machine must be connected to the water supply with a new hose: the old hose must not be re-used.

• Do not let children play with the machine and keep your pets away from it.

• You must immediately make any obsolete machine unusable. Disconnect and cut off the power cable flush with the machine. Close the water tap and remove the hose. Disable the door lock.

• If there is a risk of frost, disconnect the water hose and drain off any water that may remain in the drain hose by placing this as low as possible in a bowl.

SAVING ENERGY

• Only programme a prewash when it is absolutely necessary: for example, for very dirty sports or working clothes, etc.

• A low temperature programme is sufficient for impeccable washing results when your washing is only slightly or moderately dirty.

• For washing that is only slightly dirty, select a short washing cycle ("Rapid", "Express" or "Flash", depending on the model).

• Use the right amount of washing products for the hardness of the water, the amount of washing and how dirty it is and follow the instructions on the detergent packs.

DESCRIPTION OF YOUR MACHINE

A Control panel
B Handle for opening the lid (remains locked during the cycle)
Lever for raising the machine on castors (depending on the model)
D Drain hose
Cross clamp
Water supply hose (not connected)
Power supply cable

- REMOVING THE TRANSPORT CLAMPS

Important:

Before using the machine in any way, you must first perform the following operations.

These comprise removing all the components designed to immobilise the drum in your machine during transport.

These so-called "releasing" operations are necessary for your machine to operate correctly and to conform to the prevailing safety standards. If they are not carried out completely, this could cause severe damage to your machine while it is operating.

• Remove the washing machine from its plinth (check that the wedge A supporting the motor is not still inserted in the machine) (Diagram D3)

• Remove the 4 screws B with a screwdriver (Diagram D4)

• Remove the cross clamp by removing the 2 screws (Diagram D5) using a 10 or 13mm spanner (depending on the model). (Ensure that you remove the two plastic braces fixed on the cross clamp at the same time as the clamp itself).

• Replace the screws E in their initial positions.

Warning:

You must block off the two holes using the hole covers provided (supplied in the accessories bag) (Diagram D6)

• Remove the drum-tank assembly locking wedge (Diagram D7). To do this:

• Lift the lid on the machine

• Remove wedge F
• Remove wedge G by turning it a quarter turn
• Release the drum doors, locked in the lower position, by pressing down on both eaves simultaneously.

Warning:

Remove the pipe support collars You must block off the holes revealed with the hole covers supplied in the accessories bag (Diagram D8).

Advice:

We would recommend that you keep all the locking components since these must be refitted if you must subsequently transport your machine again.

Information:

Your machine has been scrupulously checked before it left the factory. You may therefore notice a little water still remaining in the tank or the products box.

- MOVING YOUR MACHINE

• Mounting it on castors

If your machine is equipped with removable castors, you will be able to move it quite easily.

To mount it on castors, swivel the lever on the bottom of the machine from the right to the far left (Diagram D9).

Important:

The machine must not rest on the "front" castors while it is operating: remember to return the lever to its initial position.

- CONNECTING TO THE COLD WATER SUPPLY

Connect the supply hose (Diagram D10):

• At one end to the connection on the back of the machine

• On the other end to a tap fitted with a threaded end 20mm dia. x 27 (3/4 BSP).

If you use a self-piercing tap, the useful aperture must have a minimum diameter of 6mm.

Water supply:

• Minimum water pressure: 0.1 MPa or 1 bar

• Maximum water pressure: 1 MPa or 10 bars

• Replacing a water supply hose

When replacing the hose, ensure that the hose is tightly fastened and that there is a seal at both ends.

- DRAINING AWAY THE WASTE WATER

Fit the hose bracket provided inside your machine to the end of the drain hose and then connect the hose (Diagram D11):

• Either, temporarily, over a sink or a bathtub.

• Or permanently to a ventilated U-bend.

If your installation does not have a ventilated U-bend, check that the connection is not sealed. In fact, to avoid any waste water flowing back into the machine, you are strongly recommended to leave an air gap between the machine's drain hose and the drainpipe.

In any case, the drain hose bracket must be placed at a height of 65 to 90cm higher than the base of the machine.

Important:

Ensure that the drain hose is tied firmly in place with cord to avoid the bracket coming loose during draining and causing a flood.

The waste water can be drained away to the ground provided that the drain hose passes through a point 65 to 90cm higher than the base of the machine (Diagram D12).

Voltage Directive) and EEC/89/336 (Electromagnetic

(batibility) as modified by Directive EEC/93/68..

- INSTALLING YOUR MACHINE

Important:

If you are installing your machine next to another machine or a

I have recommend that you leave a gap between them to allow for circulation.

Advice:

We also strongly recommend that you do NOT:

• Install your machine in a damp, poorly ventilated room.
• Install your machine in an area where it could be subject to water splashes.
• Install your machine on a carpeted floor.
  If you cannot avoid doing this, please take every precaution to avoid blocking air circulation at the bottom of the machine in order to ensure that the internal components are well ventilated.

- Levelling the machine

Use a spirit level to check that the floor is horizontal: maximum slope 2^ , i.e. a discrepancy of approximately 1cm over the width and of 1.5cm over the depth of the machine.

- Adjustable feet

Some machines are fitted with two adjustable feet at the front to enable you to compensate for any unevenness in the floor. Proceed as follows to adjust the feet to level and stabilize your machine:

• Set the machine on its castors (or tilt it slightly backwards if it does not have retractable castors)
• Screw in or unscrew the feet to adjust the height to suit the shape of the floor (Diagram D13)
• Set the machine back on its feet and check that it is stable.

- TEXTILE MAINTENANCE CODES

• Washing: Never exceed the indicated temperatures
• Use of cold diluted bleach possible:
• Iron: Low Medium High
  Dry clean: mineral spirit F perchlorethylene P

all solvents

• NB: A crossed-out code indicates that it is forbidden × × ×

- LOADING YOUR WASHING

Perform these actions in the following order:

- Open the machine

• Check that the Programme selector is correctly positioned on "Off".
• Depending on the model, lift the opening handle or press the push button on the front of the machine.
  The lid will open.
• Open the drum by pressing the button on the front door.

- Insert your washing

For optimum washing performance, place your washing, preferably sorted and folded, in the drum, distributing it evenly without heaping it up. Mix large and small items to obtain an optimum, well-balanced spin.

- Close the drum

Ensure that the drum is correctly closed.

Important:

1. Check that the three hooks and the border of the button are visible.

- LOADING THE WASHING PRODUCTS

Important:

(Diagram D14)

• The "WASH" container may contain powder or liquid but liquid detergent should not be used for programmes WITH Prewash and/or WITH "Delayed Start" (depending on the model).

• Concentrated softener should be diluted with warm water.

• Concentrated bleach must be diluted.

• To fill the product containers correctly, place the lid fully open.

• Do not exceed the MAX level.

Dispensing the detergent

The amount of detergent to be used depends on the hardness of the water, the extent to which your washing is soiled and the amount of washing to be washed.

Please refer to the dosing instructions on your pack of detergent.

Warning: in most cases, the detergent manufacturer's recommendations apply to the drum filled to the maximum. Adjust the dosage correctly to the weight of the washing you have placed in the machine.

These recommendations will help you to avoid using too much detergent, which causes foam to be produced. Too much foam can reduce your machine's performance and increase the length of the washing cycle and the consumption of water.

Detergents for woollens and delicate fabrics

You are recommended to use an appropriate detergent for washing these fabrics (avoid placing such detergents directly on the drum because they have an aggressive action on the metal).

Before your first wash

Before making your first wash, we recommend that you carry out a "COTTON 90 wash without pre-wash" and with no washing in the drum, using a 1/2 measure of your usual detergent in order to eliminate any residues from manufacturing that may remain in your machine.

STANDARD COMPARISON TESTING PROGRAMME

Cotton 60^ - 5kg no options-max spin.

To comply with the statement on the label, the tests are conducted in accordance with European Directive 92/75/EEC at nominal capacity, ensuring complete use of the CEI detergent from the start of the washing phase.

The cycle ends with a very gentle, progressive spin restricted to 600 rpm.

- Flash 30'

This programme enables you to refresh a small load of 2.5kg of lightly soiled washing composed of WHITES, COTTONS, COLOUREDS or HARD-WEARING SYNTHETICS.

The cycle time is restricted to around 30 minutes

In this programme, the washing temperature is automatically programmed at 40^ .

Important:

For this programme, the doses of detergent should be

reduced by half.

- Spin only

This allows a separate spin and drain.

Important:

In the case of "Spin only", ensure that you select a suitable spin speed for the type of washing in the machine.

- DETAILS OF THE OPTIONS

-Prewash U

Specially designed for heavily soiled washing (mud, blood, etc.).

A specific initial agitation in cold water precedes a phase of heating to 30^ .

This agitation phase in cold water enables the particles soiling the washing to be removed before the water is heated.

Important :

Detergent must be placed in the" container in the products

box.

- Easy ironing surffliss

This avoids the washing creasing and makes it easier to iron.

Rinseplus

"Especially for sensitive and allergic skin": adds an extra rinse to the washing cycle.

- Delayed start

You can delay the start of your programme by 1 to 19 hours so that you can benefit from cheap rate electricity or to have the cycle finish at a desired time.

To do this, select the time that must pass before the cycle starts by pressing successively on button 3 (this is done hour by hour) and then press "Start/Pause" 5 I→.

NB:

• Even if you forget to press the "Start/Pause" button 5 I after selecting this option, your choice will still be accepted after a few seconds.

• Throughout the whole waiting period, the delayed start symbol is displayed and the four elements light up in succession.

-At the end of the waiting period, the programme starts and the display A shows the duration of the selected cycle.

Full drum stop (Rinse hold)

This function enables you to remove the washing from your machine before the spin phase or to delay this phase with you washing remaining in water to prevent creasing.

NB: When the machine is stopped with the tub full of water, the display A shows alternately:

Then:

• If you want to drain after spinning, use the selector 2 to choose a suitable spin speed for your type of washing.

The programme will end automatically.

• If you just want to drain, turn the selector 2 to "Drip Dry" (position "100").

- MODIFYING A WASHING PROGRAMME

- During programming:

Anything can be changed before the "Start/Pause" button 5 is pressed.

After the cycle has started:

You can change the type of textile (for example, switch from "COTTON" to "SYNTHETICS", etc.). In this case, check that the options you previously selected are still there.

You must confirm your new selection by pressing the "Start/Pause" button 5 .

The machine may then possibly drain off some of its water.

- Throughout the cycle:

Depending on your model, the following changes are possible without pressing the "Start/Pause" button [5] I→.

• You can change the temperature for the same type of textile.

NB: If the temperature achieved by the washing cycle is higher than your new selection, heating the water stops immediately and the cycle continues.

• You can alter the spin speed (9) throughout the cycle.
• You can select "Drip Dry" 100 and "Full drum stop" throughout the washing phase.
• You can activate the "Rinse plus" option until rinsing starts.
• You can deactivate all the options throughout the cycle provided that their action has not already finished.

- During delayed start :

• Any kind of programme modification is accepted during a delayed start's waiting period.
• You can alter the length of a delayed start (G) throughout the waiting period before the cycle effectively starts.

NB:

• During this period, selecting a new time cancels out the previous selection. The new period selected is accepted based on the last selection made.
• If you want to cancel the delayed start completely during this period, first display "19h" using button[3]. Then press the button again and briefly press "Start/pause"[5] .

The cycle will start immediately.

• If you want to reduce the length of time of the delayed start, proceed in the same way but do not press the "Start/Pause" button.
  Your machine is then ready for a new setting.
• You can only activate the "Prewash" and "Easy Ironing" surffliss options during a delayed start's waiting period.

- When the cycle is over:

When the screen A shows " - 0 - ", you can programme a new cycle without having to reset the selector [1] to the "Off" position.

For this, all you have to do is turn one of the selectors or press one of the buttons.

The screen shows the duration of the programme selected.

The machine is then ready to be reprogrammed.

AUTOMATIC SAFETY SYSTEMS

- Lid opening safety system:

As soon as washing commences, the lid on your machine is locked. When the cycle is finished or when the machine has stopped with the drum full of water, the lid unlocks.

If you have programmed a "Delayed start", the lid is not locked until the waiting period is over and the cycle starts.

If you wish to open the lid during the cycle, press button 5| briefly and wait 1-2 minutes for the safety system to unlock the lid.

Important :

Depending on when you wish to open the lid during the cycle, this time delay may be a little longer because a cooling down period may also have to be included.

In fact, to avoid your being severely burnt, the lid safety system will not open during the cycle unless the temperature inside the machine is below a certain threshold.

Water safety system:

During operation, constant control of the water prevents any overflows.

- Spin safety system:

Your washing machine is fitted with a safety system that restricts the spin when poor load distribution is detected.

In this case, your washing may be insufficiently spun. Redistribute your washing in the drum and programme a new spin.

Anti-foam system:

You machine can detect when too much foam is being produced during spinning.

At such times, spinning stops and the machine drains.

The cycle then restarts, adapting the spin rates and possibly adding an extra rinse.

- CLEANING THE PUMP FILTER (Option 1)

The way to access your pump filter may differ according to the model of the machine (see options 1 and 2).

This filter collects the small objects you may have inadvertently left in your clothes and prevents them from disrupting the pump's operation. To clean the filter, proceed as follows:

• Open the drum doors. At the back of the drum, you will see a plastic component A (Diagram D15)

• Release this (Diagram D16).

To do this:

• Insert a rod (a pencil or a screwdriver, for example) into the hole in the component A

• Press down vertically with the rod, while pushing the component A over to the right until it is released from its housing

• Remove the component A

• Turn the drum slightly towards the front of the machine, with the doors open (Diagram D17)

You can access the pump filter E through the openings freed by removing the plastic component A.

• Remove the filter from its housing (Diagram D17)

• Remove the various objects it may have in it

Rinse it under the tap (Diagram D18)

• Re-insert it, pushing it firmly into its housing after checking that the housing is clean

• Re-insert the plastic component A , ensuring that it is positioned correctly in the openings at the bottom of the drum and pushing it to the left until it is fully engaged (Diagram D19).

- CLEANING THE PUMP FILTER (Option 2)

if your machine dopes not have the component A shown in Diagram D16, you must proceed as follows to clean your pump filter:
- Turn the drum to position the closed doors facing downwards: this will reveal a plastic component (Diagram D20)
- If your machine is fitted with one, remove the screw D
- On certain types of machines, the component has a clip.
In this case, release the component by pressing on this clip E while sliding the component gently to the right
- Then, in all cases, turn the drum again, open the doors and remove the component by sliding it in the direction of the arrow (Diagram D21)
- Turn the drum slightly towards the front of the machine, with the doors open (Diagram D22).
You can access the pump filter F through the openings freed by removing the plastic component C .
- Remove the filter from its housing (Diagram D22)
- Remove the various objects it may have in it
Rinse it under the tap (Diagram D23)
- Re-insert it, pushing it firmly into its housing after checking that the housing is clean
- Re-insert the plastic component and the screw by performing all the above operations in reverse order.

- CLEANING THE MACHINE

Important: To clean the o

To clean the casing, the control panel and all the plastic parts in general, use a sponge or a soft cloth dampened only with water and liquid soap.

In all cases, do not use:

• Abrasive powders
  Metal or plastic sponges
  Alcohol-based products (alcohol, thinners, etc.)

- CARE OF THE INTERNAL COMPONENTS

To ensure better hygiene, we recommend that you:

• Leave the lid open for a short time after washing.
• Clean the plastic and rubber access components to the tank approximately once a month using a slightly chlorinated product. Run a rinsing cycle to remove any residue of this product.
• Run a washing cycle at 90^ at least once a month.

- CLEANING THE PRODUCTS' BOX

Clean the products' box regularly.

To do this:

• Press the bosses on each side of the box simultaneously to extract it from its housing Diagram D24).
• Remove the siphons H from the rear of the box 1 and separate the box from its front cover J (Diagram D25)
• Rinse everything under the tap (taking care to empty any excess water remaining inside the box).
• Refit all the box' components, ensuring that the box section itself is properly clipped into the cover and then re-insert the complete assembly into its location under the machine's lid.

PERIODIC CHECKS

To avoid any water damage, we recommend that you regularly check the condition of the water and drain hoses. If you notice the slightest cracking, do not hesitate to replace the hoses with identical ones available from the manufacturer or his After-Sales Service. For how to replace the water supply hose, please refer to the section "CONNECTING TO THE COLD WATER SUPPLY"

- REPLACING THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE

Warning:

7 For your safety, the power cable and, depending on the model, the complete electric box and its associated cable must only be replaced by the manufacturer's After-Sales Service or a qualified electrician.

- INCIDENTS THAT MAY OCCUR

The cycle does not start

• You have not pressed the "Start/Pause" button
• There is no power to the machine:
• Check that the plug is correctly in the socket
• Check the circuit breaker and the fuses.
• The water tap is closed
• The machine's lid is not closed properly

- A puddle of water forms around the machine

Warning:

7 First of all remove the plug and the fuse and shut off the water supply tap.

While the machine is operating, the permanent level control prevents the water from overflowing. If, despite this, water comes out of your machine, it may be that:

• The drain hook is wrongly positioned in the drain pipe.

• The water supply hose is not sealed tightly at the machine or tap end:

• Check that the seals are in place and the connections are tight.

- Heavy vibration during spin

• All the transport materials have not been removed correctly from the machine:
• Check that all the transport wedges have been removed (see "REMOVING THE TRANSPORT CLAMPS").
• The floor is not level.

• Your machine is resting on its two "front" castors (depending on the model):

• Reset your machine on its feet by pushing the castor engagement lever to the right.

- The washing is not spun or not spun enough

• You have selected a programme with no spin, for example "Drip-dry"
• The spin safety system has detected poor distribution of the washing in the drum:
• Untangle the washing and programme a new spin.

- The machine does not drain

• You have programmed "Full drum stop"
• The pump filter is blocked:
• Clean it (see "CLEANING THE PUMP FILTER" for the relevant procedure)
• The drain hose is kinked or squashed

- The lid does not open

• The programme has not yet finished
  The lid remains locked throughout the programme.

- The drum doors open very slowly (On machines fitted with gently opening doors)

• Your machine has not operated for a long time.
• It is located in too cold a position.
• Detergent residue (powder) is blocking the hinges
• In all cases, everything returns to normal after the doors have opened initially

Important :

As a general rule, whatever the anomaly detected, you should stop the machine, unplug the power cable and shut off the water tap
