Installation

 

! This instruction manual should be kept in a safe

GB

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 pro-

tective 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.

! Packaging 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, compensate 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 other end of the water inlet hose to the washing machine,

screwing it onto the appliance’s cold water inlet, situated on the top right-hand side on the rear 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.

2

Connecting the drain hose

65 - 100 cm

Connect the drain hose, without bending it, to a drainage duct or a wall drain located at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor;

alternatively, rest it 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.

! 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 washing machine. If this is not the case, replace the socket or the plug.

!The washing 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.

!When the washing machine has been installed, the electricity socket must be within easy reach.

 

 

 

! Do not use extension cords or multiple so-

 

GB

ckets.

 

 

 

 

!The cable should not be bent or compressed.

!The power supply cable must only be replaced by authorised technicians.

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

The first wash cycle

Once the appliance has been installed, and before you use it for the first time, run a wash cycle with detergent and no laundry, using the wash cycle 2.

Care and maintenance

 

Cutting off the water and electricity

GB

 

supplies

 

• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle.

 

This will limit wear on the hydraulic system in-

 

side the washing machine and help to prevent

 

leaks.

 

• Unplug the washing machine when cleaning it

 

and during all maintenance work.

Cleaning the pump

The washing machine is fitted with a self-clea- ning 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.

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

1

2

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.

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-clockwi- se (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.

The length of cycle shown on the display or in this booklet is an estimation only and is calculated assuming standard working conditions. The actual duration can vary according to factors such as water temperature and pressure, the amount of detergent used, the amount and type of load inserted, load balancing and any wash options selected.

For all Test Institutes:

1) Test wash cycle in compliance with regulation UAE.S. 5010 2:2013: set wash cycle 2 with a temperature of 60°C.

Cotton Standard 20° (wash cycle 4). Ideal for lightly soiled cotton loads. The effective performance levels achieved at cold temperatures, which are comparable to washing at 40°, are guaranteed by a mechanical action which operates at varying speed, with repeated and frequent peaks.

Daily 30’ (wash cycle 6) this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 30 minutes and therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting this wash cycle (6 at 30°C), it is possible to wash different fabrics together (except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 3 kg.

Mix 15’(wash cycle 7) 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 (7 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.

Sanitary (wash cycle 8). A high-temperature hygienic wash cycle (over 60°C) which requires the use of bleach. Pour the bleach, the detergent and the additives into the relevant compartments (see paragraph entitled “Detergent dispenser drawer”). Night Cycle (wash cycle 9). This is a silent cycle which can be run at night, when the electricity prices are lower. The wash cycle is designed for cottons and synthetics. At the end of the cycle the machine stops while there is still water in the drum; to spin and drain the laundry press the START/PAUSE button; alternatively the machine will perform the spin cycle and drain the water automatically after 8 hours.

Baby cycle (wash cycle 10). This wash cycle can be used to remove the soiling typically caused by babies, while ensuring that all detergent is removed from nappies in order to prevent the delicate skin of babies from suffering allergies. The cycle has been designed to reduce the amount of bacteria by using a greater quantity of water and optimising the effect of special disinfecting additives added to the detergent.

1000 rpm

 

Wool

800 rpm

 

Silk

drain only

 

The spin speed may be lowered, or the spin cycle can be excluded altogether by selecting the symbol .

The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a spin speed which is higher than the maximum speed set for each wash cycle.

Functions

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

1.Press the button corresponding to the desired function;

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

Note:

-If the selected function is not compatible with the programmed wash cycle, the corresponding indicator light will flash, a sound signal will be emitted and the function will not be activated.

-If a function which is incompatible with another function selected previously, only the most recent selection will remain active.

Delay timer

To set a delayed start for the selected wash cycle, press the button repeatedly until the desired delay time is displayed (this may be between 1 hour and 24 hours).

To disable the function press the button until the text is displayed.

N.B. Once you have pressed the START/PAUSE button, the delay time may only be decreased if you wish to modify it.

Super Wash

Because a greater quantity of water is used in the initial phase of the cycle, and because of the increased cycle duration, this function offers a high-performance wash.

Extra rinse

By selecting this function, the efficiency of the rinse is increased and optimal detergent removal is guaranteed. It is particularly useful for sensitive skin.

Easy iron

By selecting this function, the wash and spin cycles will be modified in order to reduce the formation of creases. At the end of the cycle the washing machine will perform slow rotations of the drum; the EASY IRON and START/PAUSE indicator lights

will flash (orange) and the

phase will remain lit in a fixed manner. To end the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button or the

EASY IRON button.

 

For the Silk wash cycle, the machine will end the cycle while the laundry is soaking, the EASY IRON and START/PAUSE indicator lights will flash (orange) and the RINSE phase will remain lit in a fixed manner. To drain the water so that the laundry may be removed, press the START/PAUSE button or the EASY IRON button.

Detergents and laundry

 

Detergent dispenser drawer

GB

 

 

Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of

 

 

detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessa-

 

rily result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause

 

build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to

 

environmental pollution.

 

! Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for

 

pre-washing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C.

 

! Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging.

 

! 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.

compartment 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder)

Before pouring in the detergent, make sure that extra compartment 4 has been removed.

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. extra compartment 4: Bleach

Bleach cycle

Bleaching may only be performed in conjunction with wash cycle 8.

Pour the bleach into extra compartment 4; pour the detergent and softener into the corresponding compartments, then select one of the abovementioned wash cycles.

This option is recommended only for very soiled cotton garments.

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: see “Table of wash cycles”.

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

Shirts: use special wash cycle 11 to wash shirts in various fabrics and colours.

It guarantees maximum care is taken of the garments and minimises the formation of creases.

Silk: use special wash cycle 12 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 12.

Wool: all wool garments can be washed using programme 13, even those carrying the “hand-wash only” label. For best results, use special detergents and do not exceed 1,5 kg of laundry.

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.
