Installation

 This instruction manual should be kept in a safe

place for future reference. If the washing machine is

sold, transferred or moved, make sure that the

instruction manual remains with the machine so that

the new owner is able to familiarise himself/herself

with its operation and features.

 Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital

information relating to the safe installation and

operation of the appliance.

Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking

1. Remove the washing machine from its packaging.

2. Make sure that the washing machine has not been

damaged during the transportation process. If it has

been damaged, contact the retailer and do not

proceed any further with the installation process.

3. Remove the 3

protective screws (used

during transportation) and

the rubber washer with

the corresponding

spacer, located on the

rear part of the appliance

(see figure).

4. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs provided.

5. Keep all the parts in a safe place: you will need

them again if the washing machine needs to be

moved to another location.

 ackaging materials should not be used as toys for

children.

Levelling

1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor,

without resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets

or anything else.

2. If the floor is not

perfectly level, compen-

sate for any unevenness

by tightening or loosening

the adjustable front feet

(see figure); the angle of

inclination, measured in

relation to the worktop,

must not exceed 2°.

Levelling the machine correctly will provide it with

stability, help to avoid vibrations and excessive noise

and prevent it from shifting while it is operating. If it is

placed on carpet or a rug, adjust the feet in such a

way as to allow a sufficient ventilation space

underneath the washing machine.

Connecting the electricity and water

supplies

Connecting the water inlet hose

1. Connect the supply

pipe by screwing it to a

cold water tab using a ¾

gas threaded connection

(see figure).

Before performing the

connection, allow the

water to run freely until it

is perfectly clear.

2. Connect the inlet hose

to the washing machine

by screwing it onto the

corresponding water inlet

of the appliance, which is

situated on the top right-

hand side of the rear part

of the appliance (see

figure).

3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over or bent.

 The water pressure at the tap must fall within the

values indicated in the Technical details table (see

next page).

 If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a

specialised shop or an authorised technician.

 Never use second-hand hoses.

 Use the ones supplied with the machine.

Specials wash cycles

Express (wash cycle 10) this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 15 minutes

and therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting this wash cycle (10 at 30°C), it is possible to wash different

fabrics together (except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 1.5 kg.

Sport Intensive (wash cycle 11) is for washing heavily soiled sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for

best results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the

"Table of wash cycles"

Sport Light (wash cycle 12) is for washing lightly soiled sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best

results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the

"Table of wash cycles"

. We recommend

using a liquid detergent and dosage suitable for a half-load.

Functions

The various wash functions available with this washing machine will help to achieve the desired results, every time.

To activate the functions:

1. ress the button corresponding to the desired function;

2. the function is enabled when the corresponding indicator light is illuminated.

Note: If the indicator light flashes rapidly, this signals that this particular function may not be selected in

conjunction with the selected wash cycle.

"Table of wash cycles"

).   enables you to wash in

less time thereby saving water and electricity. We suggest using a liquid detergent suitably measured out to the

load quantity.

 This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, , , .

Extra rinse

By selecting this option, the efficiency of the rinse is increased and optimal detergent removal is guaranteed. It is

particularly useful for sensitive skin.

 This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 10, , .

Personalisation

Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser drawer

Good washing results also depend on the correct

dose of detergent: adding too much detergent will not

necessarily result in a more efficient wash, and may in

fact cause build up on the inside of your appliance

and contribute to environmental pollution.

 Do not use hand washing detergents because these

create too much foam.

Open the detergent

dispenser drawer and

pour in the detergent or

washing additive, as

follows.

ompartment 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder)

compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle

(powder or liquid)

Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately

prior to the start of the wash cycle.

compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)

The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.

Preparing the laundry

 Divide the laundry according to:

- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label

- the colours: separate coloured garments from

whites.

 Empty all garment pockets and check the buttons.

 Do not exceed the listed values, which refer to the

weight of the laundry when dry:

Durable fabrics: max. 6 kg

Synthetic fabrics: max. 2,5 kg

Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg

Wool: max. 1,5 kg

Silk: max. 1 kg

How much does your laundry weigh?

1 sheet 400-500 g

1 pillow case 150-200 g

1 tablecloth 400-500 g

1 bathrobe 900-1200 g

1 towel 150-250 g

Garments requiring special care

ool: all wool garments can be washed using

programme 7, even those carrying the "hand-wash

only" label. For best results, use special

detergents and do not exceed 1,5 kg of laundry.

Silk: use special wash cycle 8 to wash all silk

garments. We recommend the use of special

detergent which has been designed to wash delicate

clothes.

Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow

case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle 8.

Jeans: Turn garments inside-out before washing and

use a liquid detergent. Use programme 9.

Load balancing system

Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations

and to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the

drum rotates continuously at a speed which is slightly

greater than the washing rotation speed. If, after

several attempts, the load is not balanced correctly,

the machine spins at a reduced spin speed. If the

load is excessively unbalanced, the washing machine

performs the distribution process instead of spinning.

To encourage improved load distribution and balance,

we recommend small and large garments are mixed

in the load.

Precautions and tips

 This washing machine was designed and

constructed in accordance with international safety

regulations. The following information is provided for

safety reasons and must therefore be read carefully.

General safety

 This appliance was designed for domestic use only.

 The washing machine must only be used by adults, in

accordance with the instructions provided in this manual.

 Do not touch the machine when barefoot or with

wet or damp hands or feet.

 Do not pull on the power supply cable when

unplugging the appliance from the electricity

socket. Hold the plug and pull.

 Do not open the detergent dispenser drawer while

the machine is in operation.

 Do not touch the drained water as it may reach

extremely high temperatures.

 Never force the porthole door. This could damage

the safety lock mechanism designed to prevent

accidental opening.

 If the appliance breaks down, do not under any

circumstances access the internal mechanisms in

an attempt to repair it yourself.

 Always keep children well away from the appliance

while it is operating.

 The door can become quite hot during the wash cycle.

 If the appliance has to be moved, work in a group

of two or three people and handle it with the utmost

care. Never try to do this alone, because the

appliance is very heavy.

 Before loading laundry into the washing machine,

make sure the drum is empty.

Disposal

 Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local

regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.

 The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste

Electrical and Electronic Equipment, requires that

old household electrical appliances must not be

disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste

stream. Old appliances must be collected

separately in order to optimise the recovery and

recycling of the materials they contain and reduce

the impact on human health and the environment.

The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the

product reminds you of your obligation, that when

you dispose of the appliance it must be separately

collected.

Consumers should contact their local authority or

retailer for information concerning the correct

disposal of their old appliance.

Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water and electricity

supplies

 Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle. This

will limit wear on the hydraulic system inside the

washing machine and help to prevent leaks.

 Unplug the washing machine when cleaning it and

during all maintenance work.

Cleaning the washing machine

The outer parts and rubber components of the

appliance can be cleaned using a soft cloth soaked

in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or

abrasives.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser

drawer

Remove the dispenser

by raising it and pulling it

out (see figure).

Wash it under running

water; this operation

should be repeated

frequently.

Caring for the door and drum of your

appliance

 Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to

prevent unpleasant odours from forming.

Cleaning the pump

The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning

pump which does not require any maintenance.

Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons)

may fall into the pre-chamber which protects the

pump, situated in its bottom part.

 Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug

the appliance.

To access the pre-chamber:

1. using a screwdriver,

remove the cover panel

on the lower front part of

the washing machine

(see figure);

2. unscrew the lid by

rotating it anti-clockwise

(see figure): a little water

may trickle out. This is

perfectly normal;

3. clean the inside thoroughly;

4. screw the lid back on;

5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are

securely in place before you push it onto the

appliance.

Checking the water inlet hose

Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If there are

any cracks, it should be replaced immediately: during

the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and a

cracked hose could easily split open.

 Never use second-hand hoses.
