							12 Important:
Before washing your first load of laundry, we recom-
mend that you run a cotton cycle at 60°C, with the
machine empty, in order to remove any manufactur-
ing residue from the drum and tub.
Pour half a measure of detergent into the main wash
compartment and start up the machine.
1 Place the laundry in the drum
Open the door by press-
ing the  button and
place the laundry in the
drum, one item at a time,
shaking them out as
much as possible. Close
the door.
2 Measure out the detergent 
Pull out the dispenser
drawer until it stops.
Measure out the amount
of detergent recom-
mended by the manufac-
turer in a graduated cup
and pour it into the main
wash compartment  . 
3 Measure out the additive
If required, pour fabric
conditioner into the com-
partment marked  ,
without exceeding the
«MAX» mark.
4 Select the required option

5 Select the temperature
Turn the temperature
selector dial to the re-
quired value.
6 Select the programme and start the
machine
Turn the programme selector dial to the right to the
required setting and depress the ON/OFF button: the
operating pilot light and door locked light come on and
the machine starts.
7 At the end of the programme
The machine stops automatically.
After a programme which stops with water in the drum
(button  depressed), the water must be emptied
out before opening the door. 
It is normal to have to wait for about 2 minutes before
being able to open the door to allow the safety lock to
release. The door cannot be opened until the door
locked light goes out.
Depress the ON/OFF button again to switch the ma-
chine off, the operating pilot light goes out.
Remove the laundry.
Turn the drum by hand to make sure it is completely
empty, so as to avoid any forgotten items being dam-
aged in a subsequent wash (e.g. shrinking) or their
colour running into a load of whites. 
Turn the water tap off and unplug the machine.
Leave the door ajar to air the machine.

ENGLISH
Bodywork
Clean the outside of the machine with warm water and
a neutral, non-abrasive household detergent. Rinse
with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
Important: do not use methylated spirits, solvents or
similar products to clean the bodywork.
Detergent dispenser drawer
After a while, detergents and fabric conditioners leave
deposits in the drawer.
Clean the drawer from time to time by rinsing it under
a running tap. To remove the drawer from the
machine, press the button in the rear left-hand corner.
To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the additive com-
partment can be removed.
Detergent can also
eventually accumulate
inside the drawer recess:
clean it with an old tooth-
brush. Refit the drawer
after cleaning.

Drain filter
The drain filter collects threads and small objects
inadvertently left in the laundry. Check regularly that
the filter is clean.
Open the filter door.
Place a container under the filter and unscrew it. Pull
out the filter.
Clean the filter under a
running tap, then refit it,
screwing it fully in.
Water inlet filter
If you notice that the
machine is taking longer
to fill, check that the filter
in the water inlet hose is
not blocked.
Turn off the water tap.
Unscrew the hose from
the tap and remove the fil-
ter.
Clean it with a stiff brush.
Refit the filter and screw
the hose back onto the tap.
