Explanation of symbols

Throughout this User Manual the following symbols are used:

C Important information or useful hints about usage.

AWarning for hazardous situations with regard to life and property.

BWarning for supply voltage.

When your appliance is of no further

together with general domestic waste.

It can be taken, free of charge, to a

specific waste collection centre, run

by your local authority, or dealers who

provide this service.

Disposing of waste domestic appliances

separately means avoiding possible

negative consequences for the

environment and health, derived from

recycled, obtaining important savings in

energy and resources.

To highlight the obligation of

collaborating with selective waste

collection, the product is marked

with a symbol to warn against using

traditional containers for disposing of the

appliance.

For further information, contact

your local authority or the shop

where you purchased the

product.

To avoid the risk of fire, electric

shocks, injury or damage when

using your washing machine, please

take the following precautions:

• This washing machine comes with

a manual that includes operating,

maintenance and installation

instructions. Please read all the

instructions before using the

washing machine.

• Do not wash items that have

previously been cleaned, washed,

soaked or treated with petrol,

solvents for dry cleaning, other

inflammable substances or

explosives, as they produce fumes

that could catch fire or explode.

• Do not add petrol, solvents for dry

cleaning or other inflammable or

explosive substances to the wash

water as they produce fumes that

could catch fire or explode.

• Do not repair or replace any part of

the washing machine or try to carry

out any type of servicing unless it is

recommended in the maintenance

instructions in the manual.

2 Warnings

• Do not climb onto the machine or

stand on the open hatch door.

• Do not use an extension lead or

adaptor to connect your washing

machine to the mains supply.

• The machine should only be used

for the purpose it is designed for.

• Follow the washing instructions

recommended by the manufacturer

of the garment to be washed.

• Do not turn your washing machine

on until you are sure that:

- It has been installed in accordance

with the installation instructions.

- All the water, drainage, mains

electricity and earth connections

meet the local regulations and/or

other applicable regulations.

Intended use

• This appliance is not intended for

use by persons (including children)

with reduced physical, sensory

or mental capabilities, or lack of

experience and knowledge, unless

they have been given supervision

or instruction concerning use of the

appliance by a person responsible

for their safety.

Children should be supervised to

ensure that they do not play with the

appliance.

Unpacking the washing

machine

• Remove the base, corner protectors

and top cover.

3 Installation and assembly

Unblocking the washing

machine

• Remove the screws holding the

plastic covers to the back of the

washing machine.

• Loosen and remove the 3 blocking

screws.

• Cover the holes with the plastic

covers you have just removed.

Do not throw the blocking screws

away. You may need to move the

washing machine at a later date.

Connection to the mains

water supply

The water supply hose is inside the

drum:

• Connect the bent end of the hose to

the threaded inlet of the electrovalve

located at the rear of the washing

machine.

• Connect the other end of the hose

to the water intake. Then securely

tighten the connection nut.

• Make sure that the gasket is in

place.

It is important that the drain hose

bend is correctly fastened to the

outlet, to prevent any risk of it

becoming detached and causing

flooding.

If your washing machine has a hot

water intake, connect the hose with

the red threaded end to the hot

water tap, and to the electrovalve

with the red filter.

The washing machine must be

connected to the mains water

supply, using the new supply hoses

supplied with the appliance. Do not

use water supply hoses that have

been used before. For your washing

machine to work properly, the mains

water pressure must be between

0.05 and 1MPa (0.05 and 10 Kgr/

cm2).

Drainage connection

To make the washing machine ready

for use, make sure that tap water

supply and water drainage systems are

appropriate before calling the authorised

service agent. If they are not, call a

qualified plumber to have any necessary

arrangements carried out.

• It is recommended that you have a

fixed drainage outlet 50 to 70 cm

from the floor.

Avoid the drain hose being too tight,

kinked or restricted.

• The end of the drain hose

must be directly connected to

the wastewater drain or to the

washbasin.

• The end of the drain hose must

always be secured regardless of the

connection type.

AYour floor will be flooded if the hose

comes out of its housing during

water discharge.

• In case the hose is routed at floor

level or close to the floor (less than

50 cm) and then rises higher, water

discharge becomes more difficult

and laundry will come out wetter

than normal. Therefore, follow the

heights described in the figure.

• To prevent flow of dirty water back

to the washing machine and to allow

for easy discharge, the end of the

hose must not be inserted in to the

drain more than 15 cm. If it is too

long, cut it shorter.

• The end of the hose should not be

bent, it should not be stepped on

and the hose must not be pinched

between the drain and the machine.

• If the length of the hose is too short,

add an original extension hose. The

maximum length of the hose must

not be longer than 3.2 m from the

machine outlet. To avoid water leak

failures, the connection between the

extension hose and the drain hose

of the product must be well fitted

with an appropriate clamp so that it

will not come off and leak. Electrical connection

Consult the specification plate located

on the hatch door of the washing

machine before making the electrical

connections. Ensure that the voltage

reaching the plug is the same as that on

the plate.

Do not remove the specification

plate. The information on it is

important.

Levelling

Use the adjustable feet to level the

washing machine. This will reduce

the noise level and prevent it from

moving during use.

Do not bring the feet too far out, you

will achieve better stability.

You need to use a spanner for the

models that have a nut.

It is very important to correctly earth

the washing machine. The electrical

installation, plug, socket, fuses

or automatic switch and counter

must be correctly specified for the

maximum power indicated on the

specifications plate.

Do not plug the washing machine

plug into the socket with wet or

damp hands.

To remove the power cord, pull on

the body of the plug.

If the power cord is damaged, it

must be replaced by a cord or

special unit provided by either the

manufacturer or your after sales

service.

With built-in washing machines,

the plug must be accessible after

installation.

Pre-cleaning

When your washing machine has been

correctly installed, we recommend that

you pre-clean the machine.

This is to check that the installation,

the connections and the drainage are

all correct, and to thoroughly clean the

inside of the washing machine before

any wash programmes are run (see the

operating instructions on the following

pages).

• Select the normal programme at

60ºC.

• Press the Start/Stop button.

Preparing garments for

washing

Before placing the clothes in the

drum, make sure all the pockets are

empty.

Any small objects may block the

drain pump.

4 Preparing to wash

Sorting the clothes

• Sort the clothes

according to fabric

and how they are

made:

We recommend using the delicate

programmes for sensitive fabrics.

There is a special wool programme

for woollens.

Make sure beforehand

that your woollens can be

machine- washed.

Before using the drying programme,

first check the label on the garment

to make sure it can be tumble dried.

• Sort clothes according to how

soiled they are.

Wash lightly soiled garments using a

short programme.

Use a programme without prewash

for medium-soiled garments.

Wash heavily soiled garments using

a long programme with prewash.

• Sort your clothes according to

colour.

Wash whites and coloured

separately.

We recommend loading the

washing machine to its full capacity.

This means savings on water and

energy.

Whenever possible, we recommend

that you wash garments of different

sizes within the same wash

programme. This improves the

washing action and also aids the

correct distribution of the garments

in the drum when spin-drying, and

the washing machine will therefore

be quieter.

It is a good idea to put small

garments in a wash bag.
