3 / PREPARING YOUR WASHING AND YOUR MACHINE
•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
air 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 or humidity.
— 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
•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 loosely, 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.
— 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.
Reminder : Use only low suds detergent when in doubt, contact your
retailer or distributor.
•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.
