Installation

 This instruction manual should be kept in a safe place for future reference. If the washing machine is sold, given away or moved, please ensure the manual is kept with the machine, so that the new owner may benefit from the advice contained within it.  Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital information relating to the safe installation and operation of the appliance.  Inside the pack containing this manual, you will also find the guarantee and all the details necessary for installation.

Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking

1. Once you have removed all the packaging from the washing machine, make sure it has not been damaged during transportation. If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any further with the installation process.

2. Remove the 4 protective screws (used during transportation) and the corresponding spacer, located on the rear part of the appliance (see figure).

 If the appliance is levelled correctly, it will be more stable and much less likely to cause vibrations and noise while it is operating, particularly during the spin cycle.  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

 Before connecting the inlet hose to the water supply, run the water until it is perfectly clear.

1. Connect the inlet hose to the machine by screwing it onto the cold water inlet of the appliance, which is situated on the top righthand side of the rear part of the appliance (see figure).

2. Connect the inlet hose by screwing it to a cold water tab using a 3/4 gas threaded connection (see figure).

3. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs supplied in the pack.

4. Keep all the parts in a safe place; they will be needed again if the washing machine is moved to another location, to prevent the inside of the appliance being damaged.  Packaging materials should not be used as toys for children.

Levelling

1. Place the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor, without resting it up against walls or cabinets.

2. If the floor is uneven, the front feet of the machine may be adjusted until it reaches a horizontal position (the angle of inclination must not exceed 2 degrees).

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 data table (see next

page).

 If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialised shop or an authorised technician.

 Never use second-hand or old inlet hoses; use the products supplied with the machine.

Connecting the drain hose

65 - 100 cm

Connect the drain hose to drain duct piping or a wall drain located between 65 and 100 cm above the floor, making sure it is not bent at all.

Alternatively, rest the drain hose on the side of a washbasin or bathtub, fastening the duct supplied to the tap (see

figure).

The free end of the hose should not be underwater.

 Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.

 The cable should not be bent or compressed.

 The power supply cable and plug must only be

replaced by authorised technicians.

Warning! The company shall not be held responsible in the event that these regulations are not respected.

Technical data

 We advise against the use of hose extensions; if it is absolutely necessary, the extension must have the same diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 150 cm in length.

Electrical connections

Before plugging the appliance into the electricity socket, make sure that:

 the socket is earthed and complies with all applicable

laws;

 the socket is able to withstand the maximum power

load of the appliance as indicated in the Technical data table (see opposite);

 the power supply voltage falls within the values

indicated in the Technical data table (see opposite);

 the socket is compatible with the plug of the

appliance. If this is not the case, have the socket or the plug replaced.

 The machine must not be installed outdoors, even in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the appliance exposed to rain, storms and other weather conditions.

 The mains socket must remain within easy reach after the washing machine has been installed.

Detergents and laundry

Detergent

The type and quantity of detergent required depend on the type of fabric you are washing (cotton, wool, silk, etc.), as well as its colour, the washing temperature, the level of soiling and the hardness of the water in the area. Measuring out the detergent carefully will avoid wastage and help to protect the environment: although they are biodegradable, detergents still contain ingredients which alter the balance of nature. We recommend the following:  use powder detergents for white cotton garments and

pre-washing.

 use liquid detergents for delicate cotton garments and

for all low-temperature wash cycles.

 use gentle liquid detergents for wool and silk

garments. The detergent should be poured into the relevant compartment - or the dispenser placed directly inside the drum - before the wash cycle begins. In the latter case, it will not be possible to select the Cottons with pre-wash cycle.  Do not use hand washing detergents because these create too much foam.

Preparing the laundry

 Shake out the garments before loading them into the

machine.  Divide the laundry according fabric type (symbol on the

washing instruction label) and colour, making sure you

separate the coloured garments from the white ones;  Empty all pockets and check the buttons;  Do not exceed the values listed in the Table of wash

cycles, which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry.

Silk: use the special Silk garments. We recommend the use of special detergent which has been designed to wash delicate clothes. Curtains: use the Silk be folded and placed inside the bag provided. Wool: is the only washing machine brand to have been awarded the prestigious Woolmark Platinum Care endorsement (M.0508) by the Woolmark Company, which means that all woollen garments may be washed in the washing machine, even those which state hand wash only be used to wash all woollen garments in the washing machine while guaranteeing optimum performance.

cycle

Load balancing system

Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations before every spin 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

 The 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.  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.

 The machine must only be used by adults, in

accordance with the instructions given 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 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.

 If it must be moved, proceed with the help 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.

Opening the porthole door manually

In the event that it is not possible to open the porthole door due to a powercut, and if you wish to remove the laundry, proceed as follows:

1. remove the plug from the electrical socket.

2. make sure the water level inside the machine is lower than the door opening; if it is not, remove excess water using the drain hose, collecting it in a bucket as indicated in the figure.

3. remove the cover panel on the lower front part of the washing machine (see overleaf).

4. pull outwards using the tab as indicated in the figure, until the plastic tie-rod is freed from its stop position; pull downwards until you hear a click, which indicates that the door is now unlocked.

5. open the door; if this is still not possible repeat the procedure.

Disposal

 Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local

regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.

 The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste

Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that household appliances should not be disposed of using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances should be collected separately in order to optimise the cost of re-using and recycling the materials inside the machine, while preventing potential damage to the atmosphere and to public health. The crossed-out dustbin is marked on all products to remind the owner of their obligations regarding separated waste collection. For more information relating to the correct disposal of household appliances, owners should contact their local authorities or appliance dealer.

6. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely in place before you push it onto the 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 in the machine and

help to prevent leaks.

 Unplug the appliance when cleaning it and during all

maintenance work.

Cleaning the 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

To remove the drawer, press lever (1) and pull the drawer outwards (2) (see figure). Wash it under running water; this procedure should be repeated frequently.

To access the pre-chamber:

1. take off the cover panel on the front of the machine by first pressing it in the centre and then pushing downwards on both sides until you can remove it (see

figures);

2. position a container so that it will collect the water which flows out (approximately 1.5 l) (see figure);

3. unscrew the lid by rotating it in an anticlockwise direction (see figure);

Caring for your appliance drum

 Always leave the door ajar 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 protective pre-chamber at the base of the pump.

 Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug the appliance.

4. clean the inside thoroughly;

5. screw the lid back on;

6. 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.

Trouble shooting

Your washing machine could occasionally fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre (see Assistance), make sure that the problem cannot be not solved easily using the following list.

Problem:

The washing machine does not switch on.

The wash cycle does not start.

The washing machine does not fill with water.

The washing machine door remains locked.

The machine continuously fills with water and drains.

The washing machine does not drain or spin.

Instalación

 Es importante conservar este manual para poder consultarlo en cualquier momento. En el caso de venta, cesión o traslado, controle que permanezca junto con la lavadora.  Lea atentamente las instrucciones: ellas contienen importante información sobre la instalación, el uso y la seguridad.  En el sobre que contiene este manual encontrará, además de la garantía, piezas que servirán para la instalación.

Desembalaje y nivelación

Desembalaje

1. Una vez desembalada la lavadora, controle que no haya sufrido daños durante el traslado. Si estuviera dañada no la conecte y llame al revendedor.

2. Quite los 4 tornillos de protección para el transporte y el correspondiente distanciador, ubicados en la parte posterior (ver la figura).

 Cuando se instala sobre moquetas o alfombras, regule las patas para que, debajo de la lavadora, quede un espacio suficiente para la ventilación.

Conexiones hidráulicas y eléctricas

Conexión del tubo de alimentación de agua

 Antes de conectar el tubo de alimentación a la red hídrica, haga correr agua hasta que sea límpida.

1. Conecte el tubo de alimentación a la máquina enroscándolo en la toma de agua correspondiente ubicada en la parte posterior derecha (arriba)

(ver la figura).

2. Conecte el tubo de alimentación enroscándolo a un grifo de agua fría con la boca roscada de 3/4 gas (ver la figura).

3. Cierre los orificios con los tapones de plástico contenidos en el sobre.

4. Conserve todas las piezas porque si la lavadora tuviera que ser trasladada nuevamente, se deberían volver a colocar para evitar daños internos.  Los embalajes no son juguetes para los niños.

Nivelación

1. Instale la lavadora sobre un piso plano y rígido, sin apoyarla en las paredes ni en los muebles.

2. Compense las irregularidades desenroscando o enroscando las patas hasta que la máquina quede en posición horizontal (no debe estar inclinada más de 2 grados).

 Una cuidadosa nivelación brinda estabilidad y evita vibraciones y ruidos, sobre todo durante el centrifugado.

3. Controle que en el tubo no hayan pliegues ni estrangulaciones.

 La presión de agua del grifo debe estar comprendida dentro de los valores contenidos en la tabla de Datos técnicos (ver la página correspondiente).

 Si la longitud del tubo de alimentación no es la suficiente, diríjase a un negocio especializado o a un técnico autorizado.

 No utilice nunca tubos de carga usados o viejos, utilice siempre los suministrados con la máquina.

Conexión del tubo de descarga

Conecte el tubo de descarga a una tubería de descarga o a una descarga de pared ubicadas a una distancia

65 - 100 cm

del piso comprendida entre 65 y 100 cm., evitando siempre plegarlo.

Una alternativa es apoyar el tubo de descarga en el borde de un lavamanos o de una bañera, uniendo la guía suministrada con el aparato, al grifo (ver la

figura).

El extremo libre del tubo de descarga no debe permanecer sumergido en el agua.

 El cable no debe estar plegado ni sufrir compresiones.

 El cable de alimentación y el enchufe deben ser sustituidos sólo por técnicos autorizados.

¡Atención! La empresa fabricante declina toda responsabilidad en caso de que estas normas no sean respetadas.

Datos técnicos

 No se aconseja utilizar tubos de prolongación, si fuera indispensable hacerlo, la prolongación debe tener el mismo diámetro del tubo original y no superar los 150 cm.

Conexión eléctrica

Antes de enchufar el aparato, verifique que:

 la toma tenga la conexión a tierra y haya sido hecha

según las normas legales;

 la toma sea capaz de soportar la carga máxima de

potencia de la máquina indicada en la tabla de Datos técnicos (ver al costado);

 la tensión de alimentación esté comprendida dentro

de los valores indicados en la tabla de Datos técnicos (ver al costado);

 la toma sea compatible con el enchufe de la

máquina. Si no es así, sustituya la toma o el enchufe.

 La máquina no debe ser instalada al aire libre, ni siquiera si el lugar está protegido, ya que es muy peligroso dejarla expuesta a la lluvia o a las tormentas.

 Una vez instalada la máquina, la toma de corriente debe ser fácilmente accesible.

 No utilice prolongaciones ni conexiones múltiples.
