Disposal

Tips for environmental protection

Packaging materials

The materials marked with the symbol are

recyclable.

>PE<=polyethylene

>PS<=polystyrene

>PP<=polypropylene

This means that they can be recycled by disposing of

them properly in appropriate collection containers.

Machine

Use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance.

Help to keep your country tidy!

The symbol on the product or on its packaging

indicates that this product may not be treated as

household waste. Instead it shall be handed over to

the applicable collection point for the recycling of

electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this

product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent

potential negative consequences for the environment

and human health, which could otherwise be caused

by inappropriate waste handling of this product. For

more detailed information about recycling of this

product, please contact your local city office, your

household waste disposal service or the shop where

you purchased the product.

To save water, energy and to help protect the

environment, we recommend that you follow these

tips:

• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without

prewashing in order to save detergent, water and

time (the environment is protected too!).

• The machine works more economically if it is fully

loaded.

• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited

soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be

washed at a lower temperature, so saving energy.

• Measure out detergent according to the water

hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of

laundry being washed.

Child safety

• Children are often not aware of how dangerous

electrical appliances can be. When the machine is

working, children should be carefully supervised

and not be allowed to play with the appliance.

• The packaging components (e.g. plastic film,

polystyrene) can be dangerous to children - danger

of suffocation! Keep them out of children’s reach.

• Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children’s

reach.

• Make sure that children or pets do not climb into

the drum. To avoid this the machine incorporates a

special feature. To activate this device, rotate the

button (without pressing it) inside the door

clockwise until the groove is horizontal. If

necessary use a coin.

To disable this device and restore the possibility of

closing the door, rotate the button anti-clockwise until

the groove is vertical.

• When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the

electrical supply cable and destroy the plug with

the remaining cable. Disable the door catch in

order to prevent children from becoming trapped

inside while playing.

Installation

Unpacking

All transit bolts and packing must be

removed before using the appliance.

You are advised to keep all transit devices so that

they can be refitted if the machine ever has to be

transported again.

1. Using a spanner, unscrew and remove the two

rear bottom screws. Slide out the two plastic pins.

2. Lay the machine on its back, taking care not to

squash the hoses. This can be avoided by

placing one of the corner packing pieces between

the machine and the floor.

3. Remove the polystyrene block(s) from the bottom

of the machine. Unscrew and remove the four

feet. Release the two plastic bags.

4. Very carefully slide out the left polythene bag,

removing it towards the right and then downwards.

5. Very carefully slide out the right polythene bag,

removing it towards the left and then upwards.

6. Set the machine upright and remove the

remaining rear screw. Slide out the relevant pin.

7. Plug all the holes with the plugs which you will

find in the envelope containing the instruction

booklet.

Positioning and levelling

Install the machine on a flat hard floor.

Make sure that air circulation around the machine is

not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that the

machine does not touch the wall or other kitchen

units.

Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in or

out. Never place cardboard, wood or similar

materials under the machine to compensate for any

unevenness in the floor.

Water inlet

Connect the water inlet hose to a tap with 3/4” BSP

thread.

Use the hose supplied with the washing machine.

DO NOT USE OLD HOSES.

The inlet hose is provided with a water stop device,

which protects against damage caused by water

leaks in the hose which could develop due to natural

ageing of the hose. This fault is shown by a red

sector in the window “A”. Should this occur, turn the

water tap off and refer to your Service Centre to

replace the hose.

P1051

P0002

P1128

132987260.qxd 23/03/2005 11:05 Pagina 7 (Nero/Process Black pellicola)

The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too

short and you do not wish to move the tap, you will

have to purchase a new, longer hose specially

designed for this type of use.

Important!

Before connecting up the machine to new pipework

or to pipework that has not been used for some time,

run off a reasonable amount of water to flush out any

debris that may have collected in the pipes.

Water drainage

The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three

ways:

Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plastic

hose guide supplied with the machine. In this

case, make sure the end cannot come unhooked

when the machine is emptying.

This could be done by tying it to the tap with a piece

of string or attaching it to the wall.

In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must be

above the trap so that the bend is at least 60 cm

above the ground.

Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less

than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm.

The end of the drain hose must always be

ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain pipe

must be larger than the outside diameter of the drain

hose.

P0022

P0352

The drain hose must not be kinked.

For a correct functioning of the machine the

drain hose must remain hooked on the proper

support piece situated on the top part of the back

side of the appliance.

Electrical connection)

This machine is designed to operate on a 220-230 V,

single-phase, 50 Hz supply.

Check that your domestic electrical installation can

take the maximum load required (2.2 kW), also

taking into account any other appliances in use.

Connect the machine to an earthed socket.

The manufacturer declines any liability

should this safety measure not be

observed.

Should the appliance power supply cable

need to be replaced, this must be carried

out by our Service Centre.

Important !

The power supply cable must be easily accessible

after installing the machine.

Your new washing machine

Further savings are achieved by washing small loads of laundry, since water and electricity consumption is

proportional to the quantity and type of laundry being washed.

•The programme progress display shows the washing phase which is running.

•The DELAY START option allows you to delay starting of the wash programme to any time of day, so

allowing you for instance to make use of overnight economy electricity tarrifs.

•The special WOOL and HAND WASH programme with its new delicate wash system treats delicate items

with extreme care.

•The automatic cooling of the washing water from 95° to 60°C before draining will prevent old drain pipes

from being deformed and will reduce thermal shock to fabrics, helping to prevent creasing.

•The unbalance detection device prevents vibration during spinning.

•The ECO valve allows total use of detergent and reduces water consumption so saving energy.
