Setup and Installation

Unpacking

Carefully remove all packaging materials. Ensure no parts are missing or damaged. Keep packaging materials out of reach of children.

Removing Transport Bolts

Before operating the washing machine, it is crucial to remove the transport bolts located at the rear of the appliance. Failure to do so will cause severe vibration and damage during operation.

1. Locate the transport bolts on the back panel.
2. Use a wrench to loosen and remove all bolts.
3. Insert the plastic caps provided into the holes.

Positioning and Leveling

Place the washing machine on a firm, level surface. Adjust the leveling feet until the appliance is stable and does not rock.

Water Connection

• Connect the inlet hose to a cold water tap with a ¾-inch thread.
• Connect the other end of the inlet hose to the water inlet valve on the back of the washing machine.
• Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
• Position the drain hose into a standpipe or over the edge of a sink, ensuring it is securely fixed to prevent displacement during draining.

Electrical Connection

Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage and frequency match the specifications of your appliance.

Operating Instructions

Before First Use

Run an empty wash cycle with a small amount of detergent to clean the drum and remove any manufacturing residues.

Loading Laundry

• Sort laundry by fabric type, color, and degree of soiling.
• Open the drum door and load laundry loosely, ensuring not to overload the machine. The capacity is 6 kg.
• Close the drum door firmly.

Adding Detergent and Additives

Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer. Add appropriate amounts of detergent to the main wash compartment and fabric softener to its designated compartment. Refer to detergent packaging for dosage recommendations.

Selecting a Wash Program

Turn the program selector knob to choose the desired wash program. The digital display will show the default settings for the selected program.

Adjusting Settings

After selecting a program, you can adjust specific settings using the function buttons:

• Temperature (Temp.): Press to cycle through available temperature options.
• Spin Speed (Essorage): Press to select desired spin speed (e.g., 1000 RPM).
• Delay Start (Départ Différé): Press to set a delayed start time for the wash cycle.
• Rapid Wash (Lavage Rapide): Activates a shorter wash cycle for selected programs.
• Pause (Départ Pause): Pauses the current wash cycle. Press again to resume.

Starting a Wash Cycle

End of Cycle

The machine will signal the end of the cycle. The door will unlock after a short delay. Remove laundry promptly to prevent wrinkles and odors.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Cleaning the Exterior

Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Cleaning the Detergent Dispenser Drawer

Regularly remove and clean the detergent dispenser drawer to prevent detergent buildup. Rinse under running water and dry before reinserting.

Cleaning the Drum

Run a maintenance wash cycle (e.g., a hot cotton wash without laundry) periodically to clean the drum and prevent odors.

Cleaning the Drain Filter

The drain filter should be cleaned regularly to ensure proper drainage and prevent blockages. This is typically located at the bottom front of the machine.

Figure 3: Location of the drain filter cover.

This image shows the lower right section of the washing machine's front, where a small circular cover conceals the drain filter. This filter should be accessed and cleaned periodically.

1. Open the cover at the bottom right of the machine.
2. Place a shallow container to catch any residual water.
3. Slowly unscrew the filter counter-clockwise.
4. Remove any lint, debris, or foreign objects.
5. Rinse the filter under running water.
6. Screw the filter back in clockwise and close the cover.

Care During Non-Use

If the machine will not be used for an extended period, unplug it, turn off the water supply, and leave the drum door slightly ajar to prevent odors.
