ENGLISH Installation Transit devices All transit bolts and packing must be removed before using the appliance. You are advised to keep all transit devices so that they can be refitted if the machine ever has to be transported again. 1. Using a spanner, unscrew and remove the rear right-hand bolt. 2. Lay the machine on its back, taking care not to squash the hoses. This can be avoided by placing one of the corner packing pieces between the machine and the floor. P0255 3.
Water inlet Connect the water inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4" thread after having inserted the small filter “A” supplied with the machine. The other end of the inlet hose which connects to the machine can be turned in any direction. Simply loosen the fitting, rotate the hose and retighten the fitting, making sure there are no water leaks. The inlet hose must not be lengthened.
Your new washing machine meets all modern requirements for effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy and detergent consumption. ■ The temperature selector dial allows you to choose the most suitable temperature for your laundry. ■ Automatic cooling of the wash water to 60°C before draining, with the 95°C programmes. This reduces thermal shock to fabrics, helping to prevent creasing. ■ The anti-unbalance device ensures that the washing machine remains stable when spinning.

Sorting the laundry • Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label and the manufacturer’s washing instructions. • Sort the laundry as follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens. • Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites may lose their “whiteness” in the wash. • New coloured items may run in the first wash; they should therefore be washed separately the first time. • Make sure that no metal objects are left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric first with acetone (*), then with acetic acid; treat any residual marks on white fabrics with bleach and then rinse thoroughly. Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated spirits or benzine, then rub with detergent paste. (*) do not use acetone on artificial silk. Detergents and additives Good washing results also depend on the choice of detergent and use of the correct quantities to avoid waste and protect the environment.

Maintenance 1. Bodywork Clean the outside of the machine with warm water and a neutral, non-abrasive household detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Important: do not use methylated spirits, solvents or similar products to clean the bodywork. 2. Detergent dispenser drawer After a while, detergents and fabric softeners leave deposits in the drawer. Clean the drawer from time to time by rinsing it under a running tap.
ENGLISH 4. Water inlet filter If you notice that the machine is taking longer to fill, check that the filter in the water inlet hose is not blocked. Turn off the water tap.

Something not working? Problems which you can resolve yourself. Problem • The machine does not start up: Possible cause • Check that the door is firmly closed. • Check that the machine is plugged in and that there is power at the socket. • Check that the main fuse has not blown. • Check that the programme selector dial is positioned correctly. • Check that the ON/OFF button has been depressed. • The machine does not fill: • Check that the water tap is open. • Check that water is coming out of the tap.
• The door will not open: ENGLISH Problem Possible cause • The programme is still running. • The door lock has not been released. • Spinning starts late or the machine does not spin: • The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is redistributed by reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen several times before the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can resume.
