This machine complies with

following norms

82/499/CEE (radio interference)

73/23/CEE

89/336/CEE (electromagnetic compatible)

IMPORTANT

This machine is equipped with an electronic Auto

Balance Control device (ABC) that allows high

speed spin only with well distributed loads.

An unbalanced load would in fact damage the ma-

chine seriously.

Before the spin cycle starts, the ABC system makes

the drum turn a few times clockwise and anti-clockwi-

se to distribute the laundry within the drum uniformly.

It may happen that these rotations are not enough to

distribute the weight inside the drum (bath-robes or

sheets combined with small garments may form the

characteristic “ball” enveloping the smaller garments

inside).

Under these circumstances the following may take

place:

– the ABC system “accepts” the unbalance, but re-

duces the spin speed. In the case, the garments

will be damper than usual.

–the ABC system considers the unbalance above

the acceptability threshold and does not allow

spinning. In this case, take the garments out of

the machine, unravel them, put them back into the

machine and turn the programme knob to a spin

cycle.

In both cases the machine is not faulty, on the con-

trary it has one of the most advanced devices pro-

tecting it against breakage, vibrations, sliding on the

floor and other serious damages.

Attention! In order to reduce the risk of damage to

persons or to the machine, please follow these

instructions carefully:

1. Read carefully the instructions before using the machine.

2. Make sure that the transit brackets and bolts have been

removed before starting the machine. Serious damage can

occur in case the brackets are not removed (see instruc-

tions on page 5).

3. Only wash in the machine fabrics carrying on the care la-

bel MACHINE WASHABLE (see chart on page 13).

4. Do not wash in the machine fabrics previously treated with

petrol, solvents or any other flammable substances that

could cause fumes, which may burn and explode.

5. Do not overload the machine. See chart on page 12 for

load suggestions.

6. Make sure that the pockets of the garments to be washed

are empty. Remember to fasten the zipper.

7. Do not allow children to play near the machine. An adult

should be present on that occasion.

8. Do not install the machine in the open.

9. Do not repair the machine unless the intervention is spe-

cified in this guide.

10.An authorised Technical Assistance Centre should carry

out maintenance.

11.Always unplug the machine and turn off the water supply

after each washing cycle.

12.Do not touch the machine with wet or moist hands and

feet.

13.If the floor is covered with moquette, ensure that this does

not obstruct the opening at the base of the machine. This

would reduce or stop the airflow that is needed for cooling

your machine.

14.Clean the filters periodically.

15.Make sure that the plug can be easily reached once the

machine is installed and ready for normal use.

In order to obtain better

results from your wash-

ing machine, we recom-

mend reading carefully

the instructions that are

contained in this guide.

Before installing the

machine, we suggest to

follow carefully the un-

packing instructions.

Should you need fur-

ther information, please

call the nearest Assis-

tance Centre.

• Howtoremovethetransitbrackets

Remove back panel screws and lift panel clear

(Fig. A).

ATTENTION: at this moment only, and not be-

fore, remove the transit brackets unscrewing

from inside and from outside the bolts (Fig. B).

(Please keep the transit brackets and the screws

for any future transportation or repositioning of the

washing machine; above-mentioned operations

will have to be carried out in reverse order).

Re-assemble back panel with the proper fixing screws.

Close the holes on the cabinet with the plugs (supplied

in the accessories bag) (Fig. C)

•Howtoinstallthewashingmachine

Install the washing machine near to the washbasin or to

the bathtub or in a separate room used as a laundry

room.

The floor must be horizontal and levelled.

Leave at least 5 cm free on each side of the washing

machine.

•Howtolevelthewashingmachine

After choosing the place where the machine will be def-

initely located, the machine should be levelled to pre-

vent vibration.

To do this, you just need to adjust the height of the feet

by loosening the lock nuts. Once the machine has been

perfectly levelled, be sure to tighten the feet lock nuts

(Fig. D).

•Howtoconnectthewastepipe

Care must be taken not to bend or obstruct the pipe in

any way. The water outlet of this pipe must be fitted at

least 60 cm. from the floor.

•Howtoconnectthewatersupplypipe

The washing machine has been designed so that it can be

connected both to the hot and cold water supplies (energy

saving).

If you wish to connect it to the cold water supply only, the spe-

cial coupling pipe "F" which is supplied with the machine ac-

cessories must be used. Follow directions in Fig. A.

Attention! When fitting the coupling pipe "F" remember to in-

sert the sealing gaskets found in the machine accessories.

If, on the other hand, you wish to connect the machine to the

hot water supply, you will need a second input pipe for the

hot water which must be connected to the red solenoid valve

(Fig. B). This may be obtained from your retailer..

The water pressure must be:

Min. 50000 Pa (0,5 bar)

Max 1000000 Pa (10 bar).

WARNINGS: the warranty will not be valid in case of any modifi-

cation to the cable coupling supplied by the factory or any irregu-

lar electrical connection, any electrical, mechanical or hydraulic

modification to the machine: under these circumstances the facto-

ry and the dealer will be raised from any responsibility.

•Electricalinput230V~ 50Hz

Fuse: see information on label

Cable 1,5 m.

We suggest to ask qualified personnel to install the

washing machine; installation will have to be done in

compliance with EEC norms 11 11 NR. 47 (norms for

electrical installation for buildings).

The counter, the protection valves, the supply line and

the socket must be suitable to support the maximum

load of the washing machine, that is shown on the iden-

tification plate on the back of the machine.

Before inserting the plug in the socket, make sure that

the tension and frequency values shown on the identi-

fication plate correspond to the ones of the electrical in-

stallation.

Please also check that the socket connects properly

with the plug; do not use potential dividers or adapters

to connect the plug to the socket. In case the socket is

not suitable to the plug, substitute the socket with a suit-

able homologated one.

•Earthplug

The electric installation must

be earthed in compliance with

the country norms

cotton fabrics from 60°C to max

economic cycles from 40°to 60°C

delicat fabrics from 30°to 60°C

If you wish to make a cold wash, turn the knob on position ❄.

Attention! Get used to turning the temperature knob to position ❄ate

the end of each washing programme. This habit will avoid starting a new

programme with a wrong temperature.

Door

ATTENTION! The washing ma-

chine contains a safety device which

makes it impossible to start the mo-

tor when the door is open or to

open the door before the end of the

washing cycle.

The orange light above the door

button will be on when the door is

properly closed.

The door can only be opened at the

change to green.

The door may also be opened by

pressing ON/OFF button wait-

ing 90 seconds and the pressing

door open button.

Adjustable spin speed

control knob

This knob can be set to choose the

final spin speed from low r.p.m.

to max r.p.m. If a lower spin

speed is chosen for the final spin,

then the preceeding spin speeds

will be autolatically adjusted ac-

cordingly.

Please note that it the spin speed

knob is set to the position then

no spin programme will be car-

ried out.

•Howtoloadthelaundryintothedrum

•Unfold the garments

•Put the garments into the drum without pressing them;

•Remember of the suggested load for each washing pro-

gramme

When possible, observe the suggested load dimensions:

this will allow saving energy.

An excessive load in the drum may damage the wash-

ing results and causes creases. When possible, wash gar-

ments with different measures together, i.e. sheets, under-

wear, handkerchiefs, etc.: this strengthen the washing effect

and the laundry is better balanced during the spin cycle.

The following chart gives some indication on the weight of

dry laundry (average values).

Maximum load:

Programmes 1 –2 –3 –4 –5 –6 –7: Kg. 6

Programmes 8 - 9 –10 –11 –12 –13: Kg. 2.5
