Please keep these and pass them on if you sell the machine. · Dispose of the packaging and of your wornout machine (after rendering it unusable by removing the hoses, cutting the power cable and breaking the lock on the lid) in accordance with the prevailing regulations. ·For a new installation, the machine must be connected to the water supply with a new hose: the old hose must not be re-used. · Do not let children play with the machine or the cleaning and maintenance products (water unsuitable for drinking, ingestion of the products, risk of physical harm, etc.). Keep pets away from the machine. · Protect your property and your machine by checking the condition of the hoses regularly. Never use solvents, inflammable products, explosive products or aerosols near to or in your machine.

Safety instructions (for your machine and your washing), which must be observed An electrical risk, Important advice and information EN Environment and savings · Fill your machine to the maximum. You thereby optimise your water and electricity consumption. · Only programme a pre-wash when absolutely necessary: e.g. for heavily soiled sports or working clothes, etc. · A programme with no pre-wash is sufficient for slightly or moderately soiled clothes. · For slightly soiled clothes, select a short washing cycle (or an «Express» cycle, depending on the model). · Gauge the amount of detergent according to the water hardness, the degree of soiling and the amount of washing. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions on the detergent packets. For washer-dryers: · If you spin at high speed, little dampness will remain and you will therefore consume little electricity. Even synthetic textiles can be spun before drying. · Choosing your drying time well also helps to save water and electricity. · Avoid wasting water and electricity by not over-drying your laundry.

Water pressure may vary from 10 to 100 N/cm2 (1 ­ 10 bars). Draining away the waste water (Fig. 3) NB: Ensure that the drain hose is tied firmly in place with cord, etc. to avoid a possible flood. In all cases, the height of the drain hose bracket must be between 0.80m minimum and 1.10m maximum above the floor. The hose must be fastened to avoid it breaking and its opening must be above the surface of the water being drained away. Moving and levelling Setting on castors, moving To move your machine, unclip and slide the castor release handle from right to left. Your machine must not still be on its castors when in operation. Check that it is plumb and stable to avoid vibration during spinning. Levelling Fig. 4 - Set your machine on its castors. - Unscrew the two screws with a straightedged screwdriver. - Level the machine by adjusting the two feet using a flat spanner or a pair of pliers. - Set the machine back on the floor by sliding the castor release lever to check the chocking. - If the machine is correctly level, retighten the two locking screws. To align your machine with your units, you can break off the fixing hooks for the hoses. Take care not to squash the hoses! If you cannot avoid installing the machine on a carpeted floor, adjust the feet so as to leave a large gap for ventilation. Connecting to the electrical supply (Fig. 3) Please refer to the «Characteristics» section. The socket must be easily accessible but out of children's reach. The installation must conform to the country's regulations, in particular as regards earthing requirements and installation in showerrooms. The machine must be earthed.
