Connecting your machine
Connecting the cold water supply
Connect the supply hose (Diagram D5 ) :
- At one end to the connection on the back of the machine
- On the other end to a tap fitted with a threaded end 20mm dia. x 27
(3/4 BSP).
If you use a self-piercing tap, the useful aperture must have a
minimum diameter of 6mm.
Water supply:
- Minimum water pressure: 0.1 MPa or 1 bar
- Maximum water pressure: 1 MPa or 10 bars
Draining away the waste water
Fit the hose bracket provided inside your machine to the end of the drain
hose and then connect the hose (Diagram D6 ) :
• Either, temporarily, over a sink or a bathtub.
• Or permanently to a ventilated U-bend.
If your installation does not have a ventilated U-bend, check that the
connection is not sealed. In fact, to avoid any waste water flowing
back into the machine, you are strongly recommended to leave an air
gap between the machine's drain hose and the drainpipe.
In any case, the drain hose bracket must be placed at a height of 65 to
90cm higher than the base of the machine.
Ensure that the drain hose is tied firmly in place with cord to avoid
the bracket coming loose during draining and causing a flood.
The waste water can be drained away to the ground provided that the
drain hose passes through a point 65 to 90cm higher than the base of
the machine (Diagram D7 ) .

Loading your washing
Perform these actions in the following order:
Open the machine
• Check that the "On/Off"
I / O
• 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.
Loading the washing products
The "WASH" container may contain powder or liquid but liquid
detergent should not be used for programmes WITH Pre-wash
and/or WITH "Delayed Start" (depending on the model).
Concentrated softener should be diluted with warm water.
Concentrated bleach must be diluted.
To fill the product containers correctly, place the lid fully open.
Do not exceed the MAX level.

On any new installation (following a move or resale, etc.), the
machine must be connected using new hoses. The old hoses must
not be reused.
For your safety, you must comply with the instructions below.
Electrical supply
• 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 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.
Your machine conforms to European Directives EEC/73/23 (Low
Voltage Directive) and EEC/89/336 (Electromagnetic Compatibility)
as modified by Directive EEC/93/68.
Insert your washing
For optimum washing performance, place your washing, preferably
sorted and folded, 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.
Check that the three hooks and the border of the button are fully
visible.
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.
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.
