This machine is only for domestic use and is designed to wash, rinse and spin machine-washable textiles. [. . . ] If you cannot avoid doing this, please take every precaution to avoid blocking air circulation at the bottom of the machine in order to ensure that the internal components are well ventilated. 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. 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. Use a spirit level to check that the floor is horizontal: maximum slope 2°, i. 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). Some machines are fitted with two adjustable feet at the front to enable you to compensate for any unevenness in the floor. Proceed as follows to adjust the feet to level and stabilize your machine: -- Set the machine on its castors (or tilt it slightly backwards if it does not have retractable castors) -- Screw in or unscrew the feet to adjust the height to suit the shape of the floor (Diagram D13) -- Set the machine back on its feet and check that it is stable. 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. To comply with the statement on the label, the tests are conducted in accordance with European Directive 95/12/EEC. To select the most suitable programme for your type of washing, follow the instructions on the labels that most textiles bear. -- You can select "Drip Dry" (100) and "Rinse hold" ( ) throughout the washing phase. -- You can activate the "Extra rinse" option until rinsing starts (until the cycle progress light (Rinse/Spin) illuminates). -- You can deactivate all the options throughout the cycle provided that their action has not already finished. This agitation phase in cold water enables the particles soiling the washing to be removed before the water is heated. -- Any kind of programme modification is accepted during a delayed start's waiting period. -- You can alter the length of a delayed start ( ) throughout the waiting period before the cycle effectively starts. NB : - During this period, selecting a new time cancels out the previous selection. the new period selected is accepted based on the last selection made. - If you want to cancel the delayed start completely during this period, set the selector 3 to the "0" position and then briefly press the "Start/Pause" button 5 . -- You can only activate the "Prewash", "Extra rinse"and "Surfliss" options during a delayed start's waiting period. [. . . ] For your safety, the power cable and, depending on the model, the complete electric box and its associated cable must only be replaced by the manufacturer's After-Sales Service or a qualified electrician. -- You have not pressed the "Start/Pause" button -- There is no power to the machine: - Check that the plug is correctly in the socket - Check the circuit breaker and the fuses. -- The water tap is closed -- The machine's lid is not closed properly Incidents indicated, which you can rectify yourself In this section, we explain how you can rectify these incidents very easily yourself. Your machine automatically detects some operating incidents and indicates these by particular options lights flashing. [. . . ]
