[. . . ] Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor, without resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or anything else. If the floor is not perfectly level, compensate for any unevenness by tightening or loosening the adjustable front feet (see figure); the angle of inclination, measured in relation to the worktop, must not exceed 2°. Connect the drain hose, without bending it, to a drainage duct or a wall drain located at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor; The power supply cable must only be replaced by authorised technicians. The company shall not be held responsible in the event that these regulations are not respected.

If the selected function is not compatible with another function which has been selected previously, the indicator light corresponding to the first function selected will flash and only the second function will be activated; the indicator light corresponding to the enabled option will remain lit. Door locked indicator light When the indicator light is on, the porthole door is locked to prevent it from being opened; make sure the indicator light is off before opening the door (wait approximately 3 minutes).

Speed (°C) (rpm) Pre- Wash Bleach Fabric Normal Eco Normal Eco Time Time wash softener Express: to refresh lightly soiled garments quickly (not suitable for wool, silk and clothes which require washing by hand). For all Test Institutes: 1) Test wash cycle in compliance with regulation EN 60456: set wash cycle 2 with a temperature of 60°C. 2) Long wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle 2 with a temperature of 40°C. Do not exceed the listed values, which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry: Durable fabrics: max. Do not use hand washing detergents because these create too much foam. Compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle (powder or liquid) Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately prior to the start of the wash cycle. Wool: all wool garments can be washed using programme 7, even those carrying the "hand-wash label. For best results, use special only" detergents and do not exceed 1 kg of laundry. We recommend the use of special detergent which has been designed to wash delicate clothes. Jeans: Turn garments inside-out before washing and use a liquid detergent. Traditional bleach should be used on sturdy white fabrics, and delicate bleach for coloured fabrics, synthetics and for wool. When pouring in the bleach, be careful not to exceed the "max" level marked on the central pivot (see figure). To run the bleach cycle on its own, pour the bleach into programme extra compartment 4, set the "Rinse" option. And activate the "Stain removal" To bleach during a wash cycle, pour in the detergent and any fabric softener you wish to use, set the desired option. [. . . ] The drain hose is not fitted at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor (see Installation). If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water tap, switch the appliance off and contact the Assistance Service. If the dwelling is on one of the upper floors of a building, there may be problems relating to water drainage, causing the washing machine to fill with water and drain continuously. Special anti-draining valves are available in shops and help to avoid this inconvenience. [. . . ]
