Extensions are inadvisable. In

case of absolute need, the

extension must have the same

diameter as the original hose

and must not exceed 150 cm

in length. In case of wall

draining pipes, their efficiency

must be checked by a qualified

technician. If the dwelling is on

one of the upper floors of a

building, there may be drain

trap problems causing the

washing machine to load and

unload water continuously.

In order to avoid such an

inconvenience, special anti-

drain trap valves are available

in shops.

- Red wine. Leave to soak with detergent, rinse and treat with acetic acid or citric acid, then rinse. Treat any residue with

bleach.

- Blood. Fresh stains should be treated immediately with cold water. In the event of dry blood stains, leave to soak overnight

with a special detergent and then rub with soapy water.

- Dry grease stains. Moisten with turpentine, dab the stains with your fingertips and a cotton cloth, after placing the

garment on a soft surface.

- Rust. Oxysalt (can be found in a chemists) hot molten, or a cold anti-rust product. Old stains may have already damaged

the fabric: risk of holes

- Mould stains Treat with bleach, rinse thoroughly (only white and coloured garments resistant to chlorine).

- Oil paint. Moisten with detergent petrol, dab the stains after placing the garment on top of a soft cloth, then treat

repeatedly with the detergent.

- Ink and biro. Dab with cotton soaked in methyl alcohol or alcohol at 90°.

- Tar. Dab with fresh butter, rub in turpentine then wash immediately.

- Wax. Scrape away, then run a hot iron between two sheets of absorbent paper. Then rub in cotton with turpentine or

methyl alcohol.

- Chewing gum. Rub in nail polish remover and wipe with a clean rag.

- Mould. Cotton and white linen should be placed in a solution of 5 parts water, one bleach and a spoon of vinegar, then

washed immediately. For other white fabrics, use hydrogen peroxide at 10 volumes and wash immediately.

- Lipstick. Dab with ether on wool or cotton. Use trichlorethylene for silk.

- Nail polish. Place a sheet of absorbent paper on the side of the stain, wet it with nail polish remover, shifting the garment

as the sheet gradually changes colour.

- Grass. Dab with a wad of cotton soaked in methyl alcohol.

One last secret: when washing

The first secret: the detergent dispenser is in a handy position underneath the appliance door.

FULL LOAD

The best way to save on energy, water, detergent and time is to use your washing machine,

washing a full recommended load.

A full load instead of two half loads allows you to SAVE up to 50% of energy.

USE LESS DETERGENT IF: you are washing few garments, the washing is only soiled

lightly, foam forms during washing or the water is not very hard, or soft even (please see

small table above with the degrees of water hardness). To find out how hard the water in

your area is, contact your local Water Works.

IS PRE-WASHING STRICTLY NECESSARY?

Only for extremely soiled garments.

Programming a wash WITHOUT pre-washing for lightly soiled or medium soiled garments

allows you to SAVE on detergent, time, water and between 5 and 15% of energy.

IS WASHING WITH HOT WATER STRICTLY NECESSARY?

Treating stains with a stain remover or soaking garments with dry stains in water before

washing can reduce the need to programme a wash using hot water.

Use a wash programme at 60° to SAVE up to 50% of energy.

BEFORE USING A DRYING CYCLE ...

Select a high speed spin cycle, where the spin speed can be adjusted, if the washing should

be dried in a tumble-dryer. A reduced water content in the washing allows you to SAVE

both time and energy in the drying programme.

Fabric softe-

ners can be

used for towel-

ling fabrics,

knitwear,

curtains, etc.

Pour the fabric

softener into

compartment 3

of the dispen-

ser following

the manufacturer's instructions.

The fabric softener is

automatically inserted into the

machine during the last rinse.

At the end of the wash

programme, some water will be

left in compartment 3. This is

used for the inlet of denser fabric

softeners into the machine, i.e.

to dilute the more concentrated

softeners.

Should more than a normal

amount of water remain in

compartment 3, this means the

emptying device is blocked,

thus interrupting the suction

effect of the device.

For cleaning instructions, see

page 13. Never pour fabric

softeners together with starch

into the dispenser, as the

overflow system could get

clogged.

Your washing machine is

designed to last a lifetime

without any problems. A few

simple steps help keep it in

shape and last longer.

Firstly, you must turn off the

water tap after each wash:

the constant pressure of water

could warp a few of the

component parts.

In addition, by doing so, you

will avoid the risk of leaks when

no-one is at home.

If the water in your area is too

hard, use a deliming product

(water is hard if it often leaves

whitish stains around taps or

drains, especially of bath tubs.

For more accurate information

as to the type of water in your

system, call the local water

works or a local plumber).

Pockets must always be

emptied by removing even

coins, pins, badges and any

other hard object.

The washing machine exterior

should be cleaned with a cloth

dipped in lukewarm soapy

water.

Never exaggerate with

detergent doses.

Normal detergents already

contain deliming agents. Only

if the water is particularly hard,

that is, rich in lime content, do

we recommend the use of a

specific product at every wash.

A periodical wash cycle with a

dose of a deliming product,

without detergents or

washing, may prove useful.

Never use too much detergent

or additives because this

could cause an excess

amount of foam, scaling and

possible damage to the

component parts of your

washing machine.

It is important to wash

the detergent dispenser

regularly.

To prevent dried washing

powder from

accumulating, place the

dispenser under running

water for a few minutes.

Do not forget to empty all pockets:

small metallic objects can cause damage to your

washing machines drum during the spin cycle.

The washing machine comes equipped with a self-cleaning pump that does not require any cleaning or maintenance. Small objects

may accidentally fall into the pump: coins, hair clips, loose buttons and other small items. To avoid possible damage, they are

withheld in an accessible pre-chamber, situated at the lower end of the pump.

To access this pre-chamber, just remove the panel covering the

bottom of the washing machine (fig. 1); then lift the cover rotating it

anti-clockwise (fig. 2) and check its contents accurately.

The rubber hose

Check the rubber hose at least once a year. If you see any cracks,

replace it immediately. When you use your washing machine, water

pressure is very strong and a cracked hose could easily split open.

Warning: make sure that the wash cycle has come to a full stop and unplug the appliance before removing the lid as well as before any

type of maintenance procedure. It is normal to find that a little water comes out after removing the lid. When replacing the panel, make

sure you insert the hooks situated at the bottom of the washing machine in the right slots before pushing it back against the appliance.

la panne sera réparée.

1. Installation et déménagement (page 2)

Pour un bon fonctionnement du lave-linge, lopération la plus impor-

tante après sa livraison ou après un déménagement, est sans aucun

doute son installation. Vérifiez toujours:

1. si linstallation électrique est conforme.

2. si les tuyaux darrivée et de vidange de leau sont bien raccordés

correctement. Ne jamais utiliser des tuyaux usés.

Mode dinstallation et demploi

M

Raccordement à la

prise d'eau

La pression de l'eau doit être

comprise entre les valeurs indiquées

sur la plaquette fixée à l'arrière de

l'appareil. Raccordez le tuyau

d'arrivée que vous trouvez, démonté,

à l'intérieur du tambour à une prise

d'eau froide à embout fileté 3/4 gaz.

Si les tuyauteries de l'eau sont neuves

ou inutilisées depuis longtemps,

faites couler l'eau jusqu'à ce qu'elle

soit limpide et sans impuretés avant

de raccorder. Raccordez le tuyau à

la machine, au niveau de la prise

d'eau prévue en haut, à droite.

Raccordement du tuyau

de vidange

Un crochet situé à l'arrière de la

machine, en haut, vous permet

éventuellement de fixer le tuyau de

vidange. Introduisez l'autre extrémité

dans un conduit d'évacuation mura-

le ou bien accrochez-le à l'évier ou à

la baignoire en évitant de l'écraser

ou de trop le plier. Il faut absolument

qu'il débouche entre 60 et 100 cm de

haut.

Si vous êtes obligé de fixer

l'extrémité à moins de 60 cm au-

dessus du sol, il faut que vous fixiez

le tuyau au crochet susmentionné

prévu dans le panneau arrière de la

machine.

Si le tuyau évacue dans la baignoire

ou dans le lavabo, appliquez le

support en plastique et attachez-le

au robinet.

Le guide pour le vindange en

baignoire ou lavabo.

Ne le laissez jamais

tremper dans l'eau.

L'utilisation de rallonges est

absolument déconseillée. Si vous ne

pouvez vraiment pas vous en passer,

il faut qu'elle ait le même diamètre

que le tuyau original et moins de

150 cm de long. En cas d'évacuation

murale, faites vérifier son efficacité

par un professionnel agréé. Si vous

habitez en étage dans un immeuble,

il peut y avoir des phénomènes de

siphonnement qui font que votre

lave-linge prend et évacue l'eau

continuellement.

Pour supprimer cet inconvé-nient ,

vous pouvez trouver dans le

commerce des valves spéciales anti-

siphonnement.

Les pieds avant sont réglables

Déblocage: enlever les

4 vis!

Le crochet à utiliser si le tuyau

débouche à moins de 60 cm de

haut.

Prise d'eau à monter en haut à

droite.

Quand votre lave-

linge arrive

Installation et déménagement

Que votre lave-linge soit neuf ou que vous veniez juste de

déménager, son bon fonctionnement dépend en grande partie

de son installation.

Nous déclinons toute

responsabilité en cas

de non respect des

normes énumérées ci-

dessus.

Ne laissez pas les

enfants jouer avec les

sachets plastique, le

polystyrène expansé,

les vis et les autres

éléments demballage,

ils pourraient être

dangereux.

Branchement

électrique

Avant de brancher la machine à la

prise de courant, contrôlez que:

1) la prise de courant est conforme

aux normes et que sa charge

électrique est bien apte à

supporter la puissance maximum

de la machine figurant sur la

plaquette des caractéri-stiques;

2) la tension d'alimentation est bien

comprise entre les valeurs

figurant sur la plaquette des

caractéri-stiques;

3) la prise est bien compati- ble avec

la fiche de la machine. En

cas d'incompatibilité, n'utilisez

pas d'adaptateurs mais remplacez

la prise ou la fiche;

4) votre installation électrique dispo-

se bien d'une "mise à la terre".

5) une fois la machine branchée,

elle ne s'appuie pas sur le câble

d'alimentation.

Attention !

Le constructeur et le vendeur déclinent

toute responsabilité et aucune garantie

ne sera due en cas de modification

apportée au raccordement prévu par

l'usine, de mauvais raccordement

électrique, de modification électrique,

mécanique ou hydraulique subis par

la machine.

A

près avoir déballé l'appareil,

vérifiez s'il est en bon état. En cas de

doute, faites appel à un professionnel

du secteur. Pour permettre son

transport, l'in-térieur du lave-

linge a été blo-qué à l'aide de

quatre vis et de caoutchoucs sur

le pan- neau arrière de la

machine.

Mise à niveau

Pour bien fonctionner, il est important

que votre lave-linge soit bien posé à

plat. Pour bien le niveler, il suffit

d'agir sur ses pieds; son angle

d'inclinaison , mesuré sur le plan de

travail, ne doit pas depasser 2°. Si

vous avez de la moquette,

attention à ce que la ventilation

ne soit pas bouchée au niveau de

la zone dappui.

Avant de brancher votre lave-lin-

ge, enlevez les vis, le caoutchouc

et la cale (conservez bien toutes

ces pièces) et bouchez les trous

à l'aide des cache-trous en plas-

tique fournis avec l'appareil.

Attention: en cas de réutilisa-

tion, les vis plus courtes doivent

être montées dessus.

Conservez les vis de

blocage et les cales. En cas

de déménagement vous

pourrez vous en resservir

pour bloquer les pièces

internes du lave-linge et le

protéger ainsi contre les

chocs pendant son

transport.
