• 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
— Dry clean: mineral spirit
— 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 «
— 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.

• 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.
