They mean: Safety instructions (for you, for your machine or for your washing) which must be carefully observed. Electrical risk Important information and instructions Before you start your machine, please read these instructions carefully. This will enable you to familiarise yourself with its operation very quickly GB 82 Safety instructions This machine is designed solely for domestic use, for washing, rinsing and spinning machine-washable textiles. You must comply with the following instructions. We will refuse any liability and rescind the guarantee if these recommendations are not observed, which can cause damage to equipment or physical injury. ·To avoid damaging your machine and your washing, your machine must only be used for the purpose for which it has been designed. Only use washing and maintenance products certified as being for use in domestic washing machines. ·If you treat your washing with stain removers, solvents and, in general, any inflammable or potentially explosive product, do not put them into the machine immediately (see the section on "TREATING STUBBORN STAINS"). Furthermore, you are strongly recommended not to use solvents or products in an aerosol can near to your machine or, any electrical appliance in general, in a poorly ventilated room (risk of fire and explosion). ·If an incident should occur, which you cannot resolve using the remedies we recommend (see the section on "INCIDENTS THAT MAY ARISE"), call a professional service engineer. ·When making a new installation, the machine must be connected to the water supply with a new hose. The old hose must not be re-used. Check the water and drain hoses regularly: this will help you avoid water damage. ·Do not allow children to play with the machine and keep pets away from it. ·Worn-out machines must immediately be rendered unusable. Unplug the power cable and cut it off next to the machine. Shut off the water supply and remove the hose. Break the lock on the machine's door. The environment and tips on saving energy ·Only programme a pre-wash when it is absolutely necessary: e.g. for sportswear or very dirty working clothes, etc. ·If your washing is only slightly or moderately dirty, a low temperature programme is quite enough to provide you with a perfect result. ·For only slightly dirty washing, select a short washing cycle ("Rapid", "Express" or "FLASH", depending on the model). ·Use an amount of detergent to suit the hardness of the water, the quantity of washing and how dirty it is. Always follow the instructions on the detergent pack. 83 ·Both the packaging and the component parts of your machine use recyclable materials. Please bear this in mind when disposing of them. Please contact your dealer or the technical Services Department in your town regarding how to dispose of them appropriately, in an environmentally friendly manner. GB Description of the machine Control panel Detergent Dispensing Drawer Door Opener Door Drain pump access hatch Button to open the drain pump access hatch Adjustable feet Top Fixing screw for the top of the machine Water supply connection Securing screw Electrical power cable Drain hose GB 84 Removing the transport clamps from your machine YOU MUST PERFORM THE OPERATIONS DESCRIBED BELOW BEFORE USING THE MACHINE These operations consist of removing all the elements designed to immobilize your machine's internal components while it is being transported. These so-called "releasing" operations are required for your machine to operate properly and to comply with the prevailing safety standards. If you do not perform these operations completely, this can cause severe damage to your machine while it is operating. 1 - Remove the transport clamps before you start your machine. These are the screws marked "C" (Figure1). 2 - Use a spanner to unscrew the "C" screws anti-clockwise (Fig. 2) until you can remove them by hand. 3 - Finish removing the "C" screws and their rubber seals by pulling them towards you (Fig. 3). 4You must block up the holes left by the "C" screws with the covers provided (in the accessories bag). Your machine was scrupulously checked before it left the factory: you may therefore notice the presence of a small amount of water in the drum or in the products' box. To facilitate this operation, pour a drop of washing-up liquid on the screws and release them a little at a time, working from top to bottom. We advise you to keep all the clamping components because these must be reinserted if you subsequently have to transport your machine. Fig. 1 C C C C Fig. 2 Fig. 3 C 85 GB Preparing to install your machine Your machine's surroundings: If you are installing your machine next to another appliance or a unit, we recommend that you always leave a gap between them to help the air to circulate. On the other hand, we would strongly advise you NOT: - To install your machine in a damp, poorly ventilated room. - To install your machine in a location where it could be splashed with water. - To install your machine on a carpeted floor. If you cannot avoid this, take every precaution against obstructing the air flow to the base of the machine to ensure good ventilation for the machine's internal components. Fig. 4 Adjusting the feet: To ensure that your machine operates safely and quietly, its feet must be fitted. Your machine is supplied with two adjustable feet. If your machine is unstable, - Unscrew the white plastic lock nut, - Screw or unscrew the adjustable feet until your machine is perfectly balanced, - Once the feet have been set, tighten the bolt to retain your setting. Levelling: 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 1.5cm over the depth of the machine. Installation under a worktop If you wish to install your washing machine under a worktop, you must remove the top of the machine (Fig. 5): Ensure that your machine is not connected to the electricity supply. Unscrew and remove the two screws holding the top at the back of the machine Pull the top gently towards you to release it and then lift and remove it. Fig. 5 GB 86 Connecting your machine Connecting to the cold water supply Connect the water hose (Fig. 6): - By screwing the elbowed end to the connection on the back of the machine - By screwing the other end to a tap fitted with a threaded end piece diameter 20x27 (3/4 BSP). If you use a self-piecing tap, the useful opening must be at least 6mm in diameter. To avoid any water leaks, remember to fit the rubber seals in each end and tighten your connections correctly. The seals are provided in the accessories bag. Water supply: -- Minimum water pressure: 0.1 MPa or 1 bar - Maximum water pressure: 1 MPa or 10 bars Fig. 6 87 GB Connecting your machine Draining away the waste water Connect the drain hose (Fig. 7): · Either, temporarily, to a sink or a bath tub · Or, permanently, to a ventilated U bend. If your installation does not have a ventilated U bend, ensure that the connection is not airtight. In fact, to avoid any flowback of the waste water into the machine, you are strongly recommended to leave an air gap between the drain hose and the waste pipe. The hose hook must be placed 40 to 100 cm above the base of the machine. Ensure that it is tied firmly in place to avoid it coming loose during draining and causing a flood. The hose must not be twisted or kinked and must be held by the hose hook to avoid it falling to the ground (Fig. 8). Fig. 7 Fig. 8 Electricity supply For your safety, you must comply with the instructions below. The electrical installation must comply with Standard NF C 15-100, particularly as regards the Earthing requirements.
