5. Set the machine upright and remove the
remaining rear screw. Slide out the relevant pin.
6. Plug all the holes with the plugs which you will
find in the envelope containing the instruction
manual.
Positioning
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 cupboard 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 water inlet hose to a COLD WATER TAP
ONLY with 3/4” BSP thread.
Use the hose supplied with the washing machine.
DO NOT USE OLD HOSES.
The other end of the inlet hose which connects to the
machine can be turned in any direction. Simply
loosen the fitting, rotate the hose and retighten the
fitting, making sure there are no water leaks.

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.
Water drainage
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in four
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 tap 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.
Floor drain: the washing machine should be
installed where a floor drain or hole is located
(depending on plumbing regulations). A floor drain is
required to drain away water which may overflow
from the washing machine due to a hose leak or
malfunction.
P0022
The drain hose must not be kinked. Run it along the
floor; only the part near the drainage point must be
raised.
The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4
metres. An additional drain hose and joining piece
is available from your local Service Centre.
Electrical connection
Plug the washing machine into a properly earthed 3
pin power point.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
CAUTION !
If the appliance is supplied from a cord extension
set or an electrical portable outlet device, the
cord extension set or electrical portable outlet
device must be positioned so that it is not
subject to splashing or ingress of moisture.
The manufacturer declines any responsibility
for damage or injury through failure to comply
with the above safety precaution.
IMPORTANT!
If the electrical cord of this appliance is
damaged, it must be replaced by the
Manufacturer, Authorised Service Agent or
similarly qualified person in order to avoid a
hazard.

Washing hints
Sorting the laundry
Follow the wash code symbols on each garment
label and the manufacturer’s washing instructions.
Sort the laundry as follows:
whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.
Temperatures
90°-95°
for normally soiled white cottons and linen
(e.g. tea cloths, towels, tablecloths,
sheets...)
60° for normally soiled, colour fast garments
(e.g. shirts, night dresses, pyjamas....) in
linen, cotton or synthetic fibres and for
lightly soiled white cotton (e.g. underwear).
Cold for delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed
30°-40° laundry including synthetic fibres and
woollens.
The wool wash cycle of this machine has
been approved by Woolmark for the
washing of machine washable Woolmark
products provided that the garments are
washed according to the instructions on
the garment label and those issued by the
manufacturer of this washing machine.
Licence No. M9605.
Before loading the laundry
Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites
may lose their “whiteness” in the wash.
New coloured items may run in the first wash; they
should therefore be washed separately the first time.
Make sure that no metal objects are left in the
laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).
Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks
and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.
Remove persistent stains before washing. Rub
particularly soiled areas with a special detergent or
detergent paste.
Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or tie
them up in a bag or net.
Maximum loads
Recommended loads are indicated in the
programme charts.
General rules:
Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed;
Synthetics: drum no more than half full;
Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more than
one third full.
Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient
use of water and energy.
For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.
Laundry weights
The following weights are indicative:
bathrobe 1200 g
napkin 100 g
quilt cover 700 g
sheet 500 g
pillow case 200 g
tablecloth 250 g
towelling towel 200 g
tea cloth 100 g
night dress 200 g
ladies’ briefs 100 g
man’s work shirt 600 g
man’s shirt 200 g
man’s pyjamas 500 g
blouse 100 g
men’s underpants 100 g
Removing stains
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water
and detergent. It is therefore advisable to treat them
prior to washing.
Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried
stains, soak overnight in water with a special
detergent then rub in the soap and water.
Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain
remover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the
stain; treat several times.
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay
the garment on a soft surface and dab the stain with
the fingertips and a cotton cloth.
14
If a dosage ball/device is supplied with your
concentrate detergent, measure the detergent into
the device/ball which should then be placed on top of
the laundry and at the back of the machine drum.
Any fabric softener or starching additives must be
poured into the compartment marked before
starting the wash programme.
Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations
on quantities to use and do not exceed the «MAX»
mark in the detergent dispenser drawer.
Quantity of detergent to be used
The quantity of detergent will depend on the load
size, degree of soiling and hardness of the water
used.
Water hardness is classified in so-called “degrees” of
hardness. Information on hardness of the water in
your area can be obtained from the relevant water
supply company.
Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on
quantities to use.
Not enough washing powder causes:
– the washload to turn grey,
– greasy clothes.
Too much washing powder causes:
– sudsing,
– reduced agitation and washing effect,
– inadequate rinsing,
Use less detergent if:
– you are washing a small load,
– the laundry is lightly soiled,
– large amounts of foam form during washing.
Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust
removing product used cold. Be careful with rust
stains which are not recent since the cellulose
structure will already have been damaged and the
fabric tends to hole.
Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whites
and fast coloureds only).
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and
fast coloureds only).
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone (*),
lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat
stains with methylated spirits. Remove any residual
marks from white fabrics with bleach.
Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and
treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse. Treat any
residual marks with bleach.
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric
first with acetone (*), then with acetic acid; treat any
residual marks on white fabrics with bleach and then
rinse thoroughly.
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated
spirits or benzine, then rub with detergent paste.
Do not machine wash garments saturated with
petroleum, methylated spirits, trichlorethylene,
etc. If such fluids have been used to remove
stains prior to washing, wait until they have
completely evaporated from the fabric before
placing garments in the appliance
(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk.
Detergents and additives
Good washing results also depend on the choice of
detergent and use of the correct quantities to avoid
waste and protect the environment. Although
biodegradable, detergents contain substances
which, in large quantities, can upset the delicate
balance of nature.
The choice of detergent will depend on the type of
fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the colour

Maintenance
Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried
out you must DISCONNECT the appliance
from the electricity supply.
After each wash
Leave the door open for a while. This helps to
prevent mould and stagnant smells forming inside
the appliance. Keeping the door open after a wash
will also help to preserve the door seal.
Maintenance Wash
With the use of low temperature washes it is possible
to get a build up of residues inside the drum.
We recommend that a maintenance wash be
performed on a regular basis.
To run a maintenance wash:
●
The drum should be empty of laundry.
●
Select the hottest cotton wash programme.
●
Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a
powder.
Door seal
Check from time to time the door seal and eliminate
eventual possible objects that could be trapped in
the fold.
Cabinet
Clean the outside of the machine with warm water
and a detergent used to handwash dishes. Rinse
with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
Important: do not use methylated spirits, solvents or
similar products to clean the bodywork.

Detergent dispenser drawer
After a while, detergents and fabric softeners leave
deposits in the drawer. Inspect the drawer regularly.
To remove the drawer from the machine, press the
button in the rear left-hand corner.
To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the additive
compartment can be removed.
Clean the drawer by rinsing it under a running tap.
Detergent can also accumulate inside the drawer
recess: clean it with an old toothbrush. Refit the
drawer after cleaning.

inadvertently left in the laundry. Check regularly that
the filter is clean.
Open the filter door by pulling it towards the right.
Place a container under the filter to catch any
spillage.
Release the emergency emptying hose, place it in
the container, and remove its cap by unscrewing it.
When no more water comes out, unscrew the filter
and remove it.
Clean the filter under a running tap, then refit it,
screwing it fully in.
Put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose,
place the latter back in its seat. Close the filter door.

check that the filter in the water inlet hose is not
blocked.
Turn off the water tap.
Unscrew the hose from the tap.
Clean the filter with a stiff brush.
Screw the hose back onto the tap.
Emergency emptying out
If the machine is unable to drain, proceed as follows
to empty out the machine:
• Pull out the plug from the power socket.
• Close the water tap.
• If necessary, wait until the water has cooled
down.
• Place a bowl on the floor under the filter and
place the end of the emergency emptying hose
into the bowl. The water should drain by gravity
into the bowl. When the bowl is full, screw the cap
on again. Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure
until water stops flowing out.
• Clean the filter if necessary.
• At the end screw the filter again.

The dangers of freezing
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below
0°C, certain precautions should be taken.
• Turn off the water tap.
• Unscrew the inlet hose.
• Place the end of the inlet hose and that of the
emergency emptying hose in a bowl placed on
the floor and let the water drain out.
• Screw the water inlet hose back on and put the
emergency emptying hose back in its place after
having screwed the cap on again.
When you intend to start the machine up again,
make sure that the room temperature is above 0°C.

Trouble-Shooting Guide
Problem Possible cause
Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily
without calling out a service technician. Before contacting your local Service Centre, please carry out
the checks listed below.
During machine’s operation it is possible that one of the following alarm codes will appear on the display, then a
warning signal will be heard.
• E10 = there is no water filling
• E20 = the water is not drained
• E40 = door open
Once the problem has been eliminated, press the Start/Pause button to restart the programme. If after all
checks, the problem persists, contact your local Service Centre.
• The machine does not start up:
• The door is not firmly closed. (E40)
• The machine is not plugged in or there is no power
at the socket.
• The main fuse blown.
• The Start/Pause button has not been depressed.
• The Delay option has been selected.
• The machine does not fill:
• The water tap is closed. (E10)
• The inlet hose is squashed or kinked. (E10)
• The filter in the inlet hose is blocked. (E10)
• The door is not properly closed. (E40)
• The machine fills then empties
immediately:
• The end of the drain hose is too low. Refer to
relevant paragraph in “water drainage” section.
• The machine does not empty and/or
does not spin:
• The drain hose is squashed or kinked. (E20)
• The Night Cycle option has been selected.
• The drain pump is clogged. (E20)
• There is water on the floor:
• Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent
(creates too much foam) has been used.
• Check whether there are any leaks from one of the
inlet hose fittings. It is not always easy to see this
as the water runs down the hose; check to see if it
is damp.
• The drain hose is damaged.
• The cap on the emergency emptying hose has not
been replaced after cleaning the pump.
•
Unsatisfactory washing results:
• Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has
been used.
• Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to
washing.
• The correct programme / temperature was not
selected.
• Excessive laundry load.
• The machine vibrates or is noisy:
• The transit bolts and packing have not been
removed.
• The support feet have not been adjusted.
• The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.
• Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.

Problem Possible cause
• Spinning starts late or the laundry is
not spun enough:
• The electronic unbalance detection device has cut
in because the laundry is not evenly distributed in
the drum. The laundry is redistributed by reverse
rotation of the drum. This may happen several
times before the unbalance disappears and normal
spinning can resume. If, after few minutes, the
laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum,
the machine will spin at a lower speed or will not
spin. If at the end of the programme the laundry is
not spun enough, redistribute the load manually
and select the spin programme.
• No water is visible in the drum
• Machines based on modern technology operate
very economically using very little water without
affecting performance.
• The machine makes an unusual noise
• The machine is fitted with a type of motor which
makes an unusual noise compared with other
traditional motors. This new motor ensures a softer
start and more even distribution of the laundry in
the drum when spinning, as well as increased
stability of the machine.
• The door will not open:
• The programme is still running, the drum is turning.
• The door lock has not yet released. (door locked
light on).
• The water level is above the bottom edge of the door.
• The machine is heating the water.
