• LOADING YOUR WASHING
Perform these actions in the following order:
• Open the machine
— Check that the Programme selector is correctly positioned on .
— Lift the opening handle 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:
Check that the three hooks and the border of the button are
fully visible.
• DETERGENTS
Information
Your washing machine is equipped with a tank that stores and
automatically distributes „liquid” detergent.
Liquid detergent is distributed at the start of all programmes (except
rinse and spin), including when you programme a delayed start.
However, if you use a 2-in-1 liquid detergent, a fabric softener, or on
occasion a special detergent (for wool or dark fabrics), or powder
detergent, you must use the traditional detergent dispenser.
Important:
You should deactivate the automatic distribution in these
cases to avoid using too much detergent.
Deactivate the automatic liquid detergent distributor as follows:
— When setting the programme, after you have selected your programme,
press the button and the light goes out. You can then use your
traditional detergent dispenser normally. The liquid detergent in the
e-Dose tank will not be distributed.
In order to reactivate the automatic detergent distributor, carry out the
same procedure until the light comes on.
Information
The automatic detergent distributor is automatically reactivated
each time you turn the programme selector to the position or you
start a new cycle.
• USING THE AUTOMATIC DETERGENT
DISTRIBUTOR
The quantity of detergent that will be used by this system depends on the
hardness of the water, the concentration of the liquid detergent you are
using and the size of the load.
When starting the programme you must specify:
— the level of hardness of the water
NB: This setting is given only once except if you move to a different region.
— the level of concentration of the liquid detergent you are using.
NB: This setting is also given only once if you always use the same type of
detergent. However, you must change it if you use a detergent that is more
or less concentrated than the previous one.
• CONNECTING TO THE ELECTRICITY
SUPPLY
Important:
For your safety, you must comply with the instructions below.
— Before connecting your machine, you must ensure that your installation’s
electrical characteristics match those of your machine (see the details
provided on the information plate affixed to the back of the machine).
The electrical installation must comply with the prevailing standards and
the Electricity Board’s regulations in the country concerned, particularly
as regards Earthing and installation in shower rooms.
We cannot be held responsible for any incident caused by the
machine being incorrectly earthed.
Advice:
Advice on the electrical installation of your machine
— Do not use an extension lead, adapter or multiple socket.
— Never cut out the Earth wire.
— The socket must be readily accessible but out of the reach of children.
If in any doubt, please contact your installer.
Important:
Your machine conforms to European Directives 2006/95/
CE (Low Voltage Directive) and 2004/108/CE (Electromagnetic
Compatibility).
• INSTALLING YOUR MACHINE
Important:
If you are installing your machine next to another machine or a
unit, we recommend that you leave a gap between them to allow for
ir 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 ,perchlorethylene , all solvents
— NB: A crossed-out code indicates that it is forbidden
