Before using your washing machine for the first time Respect the “Installation and connection instructions” given below. Usage This washing machine was designed for use by adults. Make sure that children do not touch it or play with it. Unpack your washing machine immediately when you receive it, or ask someone else to unpack it for you. Check its general appearance. If you have any reserves, make them in writing on the delivery form, and keep a copy of it. Your washing machine is designed for normal domestic use. Do not use it for commercial or industrial purposes or for anything other than the purposes for which it was designed. Do not modify or attempt to modify the characteristics of this washing machine. This would be dangerous for you. Always pull out the plug and turn off the water supply tap when you have finished using the washing machine. Only wash articles that will resist machine washing. Follow the instructions on the label attached to each article. Do not use your washing machine to wash articles with whalebones, material without hems or torn material. Remember to take out coins, safety pins, broaches, screws, etc. before you put clothes in the washing machine. This type of item can cause serious damage if it is left in the washing. Do not put articles in the washing machine if you have just cleaned them using a stain remover containing gasoline, alcohol, trichloroethylene, etc. If you use this type of stain remover, wait until the product has evaporated before you put your washing in the drum. 5 User's instructions Put all small items such as socks, belts, etc., together inside a small cloth bag or pillow case, so that they cannot get trapped between the drum and the tank. Leave the cover and the drum open when you are not using your washing machine, to air the tank and prevent the formation of mould and bad smells. Always unplug the washing machine before cleaning and servicing it. Use only detergents designed for the washing machine. Follow the recommendations made by the manufacturer of these products. If the washing machine is installed in a location subject to frost, completely drain the washing machine and unscrew the tap supply pipe and put it down on the floor. Elements forming part of the packaging (for example plastic films, pieces of polystyrene) can be dangerous for children. Keep these packaging elements out of reach of children. Make sure that pets cannot get into the drum of your washing machine. Never use the washing machine if the power supply cable, the control panel, the working surface or the base are damaged so that the inside of the washing machine is accessible. Installation If the electrical installation in your house needs to be modified so that you can plug your washing machine in, have the work done by a qualified electrician. Please read the instructions in the “Electrical connection” chapter carefully before plugging in your washing machine. Ask a qualified plumber to make the water connections for your washing machine. After you have put your washing machine into place, make sure that the power supply cable is not trapped under it. This washing machine is heavy. Take care when you move it. 6 User's instructions All packing devices must be removed from the washing machine before you use it. Severe damage may occur to the washing machine or adjacent furniture if you forget to remove any of the transport protection packing. Always unplug the washing machine before removing packing. All repairs to the washing machine must be made by qualified personnel. Safety devices Cover: your washing machine is equipped with a safety device preventing the washing machine cover from closing when the drum doors are open. It is impossible to start it until the doors are closed. An electromechanical safety device prevents you from opening the cover while the washing machine is operating, and for about 2 minutes after the end of the program. Washing motor: a temperature safety device protects the motor against risks of mechanical overload, or overvoltage or undervoltage. Heating: heating will not start until the water quantity necessary for washing has been added into the tank. This safety device is effective mainly when the water supply is cut off or if you forget to open the water supply tap. The anti-foam system: water consumption is very low, due to the electronic spin cycle with an intermediate spin after the main wash and three rinse cycles for white and color programs. The spin cycle remains under the control of the foam detection system after the wash cycle has finished. If necessary, the spin cycle will stop until all foam is removed. The unbalanced weight protection system: this safety system keeps the washing machine stable during intermediate spins or the final spin and therefore detects any bad distribution of your washing (small load or tangled washing). It can then remedy this situation. 7 User's instructions Protection of the environment All materials marked with the symbol can be recycled. Place them in a waste collection bin provided for this purpose (ask your local municipal services) so that they can be recovered and recycled. Plastics are identified as follows: >PE< for polyethylene, for example for the surrounding cover and envelopes containing the documentation; >PS< for expanded polystyrene, for example packing parts practically free of HCFC. Cardboard is made from recycled paper and therefore should be discarded in waste paper collection bins. We recommend that the following instructions should be followed to save water and energy, and therefore contribute to protecting the environment: - When possible, use full loads rather than partial loads in your washing machine (however do not overload the drum). - Only use programs with prewash for very dirty washing. - Adapt the amount of detergent to the water hardness, to the amount of your washing, and how dirty it is. If you scrap your old washing machine, make sure that you put everything that could be dangerous out of service; cut the power supply cable flush with the washing machine, and prevent the door latch from closing. Automatic adjustment of water consumption This automatic adjustment system adapts the water consumption as a function of the quantity and nature of the washing. If you have an operating problem, refer to the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section. If you need help after you have made all these verifications, you should normally call the After Sales Service of the company that sold you the washing machine. If this is impossible (if you have moved, or if the shop in which you bought your washing machine has closed, etc.), please call the Consumer Advice Service which will then inform you of the address of an After Sales Service. 8 User's instructions Washing machine description Front view Control panel Lid Handle for opening the lid Filter access door Adjustable stands Lever for lifting the washing machine onto rollers Detergent dispenser Powder detergent for programs with prewash (compartment 1). 3 1 Powder or liquid detergent for the main wash (compartment 2). 2 4 Liquid additives (softener, crease remover, starch, etc. (compartment 3). 4 Softener overflow. 9 User's instructions Using your washing machine Control panel Control lamp Spinning Timer with program speed selector progress indication Thermostat ÖKO_LAVAMAT 40809 Pushbuttons Timer The timer controls the washing mode (for example water level, drum movement, number of rinses) as a function of the nature of the washing and how dirty it is, and the temperature of the wash water.

Choose a program suitable for the most delicate fiber if you want to wash a mix of different clothes, loads composed of articles made of different natures of fibers. Temperatures and symbols Maintenance labels will guide you in choosing an appropriate washing program. It is recommended that you read the maintenance labels while sorting the washing. Temperature information specified on maintenance labels give maximum values. Washing that can be boiled Cotton and linen textiles marked with this maintenance symbol are not delicate. They will resist high temperatures and mechanical forces. The WHITE program is appropriate for this washing type. Colored washing Cotton and linen textiles marked with this maintenance symbol are not delicate. They will resist high mechanical forces. The COLOREDS program is appropriate for this type of washing. Easy to maintain washing Textiles such as finished cotton, blended cotton based materials and synthetic materials marked with this symbol require more gentle mechanical treatment. The TEXTILE BLENDS program is appropriate for this type of washing. 14 User's instructions Delicate washing Textiles such as layered, micro-fiber, synthetic textiles and net curtains marked with this maintenance symbol require particularly gentle treatment. The DELICATE program is appropriate for this type of washing. Wool and particularly delicate washing Textiles such as woolens, wool blends or silk marked with this label are particularly sensitive to mechanical forces. The WOOLENS program is appropriate for this type of textile. Woolen clothes marked with the (wool) label are only machine washable if the comment “non-fluffing” or “fluff resistant”, and “machine washable” is added. (hand washable) label or Textiles marked with the wash) label cannot be washed in the washing machine! (do not Follow the “wash separately” or “wash separately several times” maintenance instructions. Washing coloreds When washed for the first time, coloreds can lose their color and stain other items of your washing. We recommend that you carry out the following simple test to make sure that coloreds will not lose their color: Choose a part of the washing that will not be seen Dampen it using warm water Then place it on a piece of white material If the washing does not lose its color, you can wash it in the machine. If the washing loses its color, wash it by hand Treatment of stains Stains that might not wash clean (particularly if they are old) should be treated working inwards from the outside of the stain in order to avoid forming halos. Grass. Rub carefully with soap and apply dilute Javel water. Alcohol at 90°C can give good results for wool. 15 User's instructions Ball point pen - felt pen. Dab with a clean cloth soaked in alcohol at 90°. Take care not to spread the stain. Rust. Use an anti-rust product, following the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. Scorch marks. If the material is only slightly scorched and if the colors can resist the treatment, allow to soak in water to which a little Javel water has been added. Otherwise soak the fabric in hydrogen peroxide (concentration 10%) and allow to stand for 10 to 15 minutes. Chewing gum. Dilute the chewing gum using a nail varnish remover and then remove it using a clean cloth. Make sure that the nature of the textile will resist the nail varnish remover. Tar-bitumen. Spray a little fresh butter on the stain, allow to stand and then dab it using turpentine. Lipstick. Put the stained surface of the fabric on absorbent paper, and then dampen the back of the material with nail varnish remover, taking care to change the paper under the stain frequently. Make sure that the remover will not damage the fabric. Paint. Do not allow paint to dry. Treat it immediately with the solvent mentioned on the paint can (water, turpentine, white spirit). Apply soap, and then rinse. Candle wax. Scratch the wax off with a non-cutting blade in order to remove as much wax as possible, and then iron the material using a sheet of tissue paper between the hot iron and the stained fabric. Checking the washing Empty the pockets. Close zip fasteners and press studs. Remove hooks from net curtains, or put the net curtains in a cover. Remove buttons that are not firmly sewn on, and pins and staples. Put net curtains in a bag, for example pillow case, to protect them. Sew on or remove all buttons that are only held on by a single thread. 16 User's instructions Maximum washing loads depending on the nature of the fibers The quantity of washing added into the drum must not exceed the maximum capacity of the machine. This capacity varies depending on the nature of the textiles. Wash smaller amounts if your washing is very dirty, and for absorbent fabrics. Maximum load Not all textiles have the same volume and the same water retention capacity. This is why the drum may usually be filled: - completely but without excessive pressure for cotton, linen, blend washing, - half full for treated cotton and synthetic fibers, - about one third full for delicate articles such as net curtains and woolens. For blends, fill the drum as you would for the most delicate fibers. The following is a guide of the average weights of frequently washed items.

Comply with doses and instructions specified on packages. The “Direct Spray” washing process reduces consumption of water and detergents, consequently you should only use two thirds of the doses recommended on packages by detergent manufacturers. Proportioning The quantity of detergent to be used depends on the amount of washing to be washed, the hardness of the water and how dirty your washing is. Reduce doses slightly if the water is soft. Increase doses slightly if the water is hard, or if the washing is very dirty or stained. You can determine the degree of hardness of your water by asking the water distribution utility in your region or any other Hardness range Water hardness in mmol/l (millimoles per liter) I - soft up to 1,3 II - medium 1,3-2,5 III - hard 2,5-3,8 IV- very hard more than 3,8 competent authority. Note: Only use low foam detergents sold in the shops specially for use in washing machines. Use neutral products for washing woolens. If you use liquid detergents, put the proportioning ball directly in the drum and choose a program without pre-wash. If you dry your washing in a drier, do not forget to take out the proportioning ball. You can also add liquid detergent for your washing into the drum directly, provided that you do not do a pre-wash and you start your washing machine immediately. Liquid detergents are suitable for low temperatures (namely 30°C and 40°C). It is recommended that a powder detergent should be used for higher temperatures from 60°C to 90°C. 18 User's instructions Softener With this distributor, you can automatically add a liquid softener to your last rinse water. Respect the proportions shown on the flask, depending on the nature of the softener used (normal or concentrated). Do not exceed the maximum softener quantity (80 ml) specified for the product box. An overflow orifice under the softener display window will inform you if you add too much. It is recommended that you should add a softener product while washing to facilitate drying and make your washing softer. It can also help to eliminate static electricity. 19 20 Flat On the line On clothes hanger DRY CLEANING DRYING Dry cleaning in petrol, pure alcohol, and R 113.

B 32 Installation and connection instructions 5. Make sure that you have removed all these packing parts from the washing machine, and keep them in a safe place in case you need them for transport again (for example if you move). 6. If you want to keep your washing machine in line with adjacent furniture, you can cut the pipe support strip at the back of your washing machine (fig. 6). This will save about 2 to 3 cm in depth. Put the two side closers into position. 33 Installation and connection instructions Position In order to install your washing machine, you will need: An electricity power supply (see electrical connection). A water inlet with a 20 x 27 mm connection. A water drain with a minimum height of 70 cm. A ventilated room. Put your washing machine on a hard and flat floor. Make sure that your washing machine does not touch the wall or any other elements in the kitchen. Warning: when your machine is installed on a floor with a carpet, make sure that the carpet does not block any of the openings near the bottom of the machine, since they are necessary for ventilation. The tap, drainage installation and the power outlet must be close to the machine pipes and the power supply cable. Do not install the washing machine in a room subject to frost. Leveling and moving the washing machine Level the washing machine by screwing the leveling screws in or out. Precise leveling will prevent vibrations, noise and movements of the machine during operation. After leveling, fix the leveling screws in position by tightening the rings manually or using a screwdriver. When you want to move your washing machine, lift it on its rollers by pulling the lever at the bottom of the washing machine from the right towards the left. Put the lever back into its initial position once you have put the machine where you want it. 34 Installation and connection instructions Electrical connection Information about the mains power supply, the nature of the power and the fuses to be used are given on the washing machine name plate at the back of the washing machine. If the washing machine is directly connected to the electrical installation (fixed connection), insert a two-pole switch with a contact opening distance of not less than 3 mm. This washing machine can only be connected to 230 V single phase power supply. Check that the subscriber’s meter and fuses are capable of carrying the current required by the washing machine, allowing for other electrical equipment connected at the same time. Rating of line fuses (one for each phase): 10 A in 230 V single phase. Important The installation shall comply with with the rules in force. Use a power outlet with an earthing pin, which shall be connected according to the rules in force. If the mains power supply cable has to be replaced, have the work done by the After Sales Service to make sure that it is done safely. Make sure that the earthing connector is conform with the rules in force. We cannot be held responsible if accidents or incidents are caused by a nonexistent or defective earth. 35 Installation and connection instructions Water connections The washing machine is provided with safety equipment that prevents dirty water from flowing backwards into the drinking water supply pipes, in accordance with national water company specifications. Therefore there is no need to use any other additional protection in the installation. Warning! Washing machines designed to be connected to a cold water pipe must not be supplied with hot water! Allowable water pressure The water pressure shall be not less than 0,5 bar (= 0.05 MPa) and not more than 8 bar ( = 0,8 MPa). Install a pressure reducer if the pressure exceeds 8 bar. If the pressure is below 0,5 bar, unscrew the supply pipe on the magnetic inlet valve on the washing machine, and remove the flow regulator (to do this, you will need to remove the filter using pliers, and then rubber washer under it). Then put the filter back into position. This work can only be done by a qualified installer. Water supply A 1.5 m long supply pipe is provided with the washing machine. If you need to use a longer supply pipe, only use a complete set of pipes fitted with installed screw-on end pieces, supplied by our After Sales Service. Warning! Never use odd pieces of pipe as extensions! Sealing rings are supplied either inside the plastic nuts, or with the accessories supplied with the washing machine. Do not use other sealing rings! 36 Installation and connection instructions Connect the water inlet hose to a cold water tap with a 3/4" gas threaded orifice, after having inserted the rugger sealing washer into the hose collar. If the water connection is made onto new pipes or onto pipes which have not been used for a long time, it is advisable to run off a certain amount of water before connecting the machine. You can rotate the other end of the water inlet pipe at the machine end in any direction. Unscrew the tightening ring slightly, turn the end of the pipe as you wish and tighten the ring again firmly. Water drainage It is preferable to connect the drain pipe to a siphon. However, you can put it directly in a sink or a basin, or even into a bath. Only use original pipes as extensions (placed on the floor over a length of not more than 3 m and at a height of not more than 1 m). Water drained into a siphon The end piece fitted on the end of the pipe may be connected to any type of standard siphon. Use a clamping collar to keep the end piece in position on the siphon. Water drained into a sink When the drain pipe is placed in a sink or a wash basin, use the elbow supplied with the washing machine to prevent it from slipping. This pipe could be forced out of the sink under the pressure of the water being drained. Small sinks should be avoided ! You can avoid this problem by fixing the elbow to the water tap or to the wall using the orifice provided. 37 Installation and connection instructions Technical characteristics Dimensions height with panel height without panel width depth Voltage / frequency Total power Heating power Fuse rating 895 850 397 600 mm mm mm mm 230 V / 50 Hz 2300 W 1950 W 10 A Water pressure minimum maximum 0,05 MPa (0,5 bar) 0,8 MPa (8 bar) Spin speed max cotton synthetics / delicates wool 800 rpm 650 rpm 650 rpm This washing machine complies with directive CEE 89-336 concerning the limitation of radioelectric disturbances and directive CEE 73-23 dealing with electrical safety.
