Installation

 Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for

future reference. Should the appliance be sold, transferred or moved, make sure the instruction manual accompanies the washing machine to inform the new owner as to its operation and features.

 Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital

information on installation, use and safety.

Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking

1. Unpack the washing machine.

2. Check whether the washing machine has been damaged during transport. If this is the case, do not install it and contact your retailer.

3. Remove the four protective screws and the rubber washer with the respective spacer, situated on the rear of the appliance (see figure).

4. Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided.

5. Keep all the parts: you will need them again if the washing machine needs to be moved to another location.

Warning: should the screws be re-used, make sure you fasten the shorter ones at the top.

 Packaging materials are not children's toys.

Levelling

Your machine may make a considerable amount of noise if the two front feet have not been adjusted correctly.

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

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 according to the worktop, must not exceed 2°.

Levelling your appliance correctly will provide it with stability and avoid any vibrations, noise and shifting during operation. If it is placed on a fitted or loose carpet, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow enough room for ventilation beneath the washing machine.

Putting your appliance in place and moving it.

If your washing machine is equipped with a special set of retractable wheels you can easy move it. To lower the wheels and thus move the appliance effortlessly, just pull the lever, situated on the lefthand side beneath the

base. Once the appliance is in the required position, put the lever back in place. The washing machine is now firmly in

place (see figure).

Electric and water connections

Connecting the water inlet hose

1. Insert seal A into the end of the inlet hose and screw the latter onto a cold water tap with a 3/4 gas threaded mouth (see

3. Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the hose.

 The water pressure at the tap must be within the

values indicated in the Technical details table (on the next page).

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

a specialist store or an authorised serviceman.

figure). Before making 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).

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;

 Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.

 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

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

Cycle

The information contained in the table is intended as a guide only.

For all Test Institutes:

1) Test wash cycle in compliance with regulation EN 60456: set wash cycle 7 with a temperature of 60°C.

2) Long wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle 2 with a temperature of 40°C.

3) Short wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle 3 with a temperature of 40°C.

Specials wash cycles

Sanitizing cycle (wash cycle 7). 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). Goodnigt cycle (wash cycle 8). 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 9). 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. Mix 30 (wash cycle 5) 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 (5 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 6) 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 (6 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.

Personalisation

Setting the temperature

Turn the TEMPERATURE knob to set the wash temperature (see Table of wash cycles). The temperature may be lowered, or even set to a cold wash ( The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a temperature which is higher than the maximum value set for each wash cycle.

Setting the spin speed

Turn the SPIN SPEED knob to set the spin speed for the selected wash cycle. The maximum spin speeds available for each wash cycle are as follows:

Wash cycles Maximum spin speed

Cottons 1200 rpm Synthetics 800 rpm Wool 600 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 indicator light flashes rapidly, this signals that this particular function may not be selected in

conjunction with the selected wash cycle.

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.

 This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 5, 6, 7, 11, 12,

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.

 This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 5, 6,

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. For the 4, 8, 11 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.

, , .

, , , .

 This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, , , .

Delay timer

This timer delays the start time of the wash cycle by up to 12 hours. Press the button repeatedly until the indicator light corresponding to the desired delay time switches on. The fifth time the button is pressed, the function will be disabled. N.B. Once you have pressed the START/PAUSE button, the delay time may only be decreased if you wish to modify it.

 This option is enabled with all programmes.

Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser drawer

Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of detergent: adding too much detergent won't necessarily make for a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause build up on the interior of your appliance and even pollute the environment.

Open up the detergent dispenser and pour in the detergent and fabric softener, as follows.

compartment 1: Detergent for pre-wash

compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle (powder or liquid)

It is recommended that you place liquid detergent directly into the compartment using the appropriate dosing cup.

compartment 3: Additives (softener, etc.)

When pouring the softener in compartment 3, avoid exceeding the "max" level indicated. The softener is added automatically into the machine during the last wash. At the end of the wash programme, some water will be left in compartment

3. This is used for the inlet of denser fabric softeners into the machine, i.e. to dilute the more concentrated softeners. Should more than a normal amount of water remain in compartment 3, this means the emptying device is blocked. For cleaning instructions, see Care and maintenance.

compartment 4: Bleach

Bleach cycle

Bleaching may only be performed in conjunction with wash cycles 2, 3, 7, Pour the bleach into 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:

Durable fabrics: max. 6 kg

Synthetic fabrics: max. 2,5 kg

Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg

Wool: 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

Shirts: use special wash cycle 10 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 11 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 11. Wool: Hotpoint/Ariston is the only washing machine manufacturer 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

on the label. Wash cycle 12 therefore offers complete peace of mind when washing woollen garments in the washing machine (max. load 1 kg) and guarantees optimal performance.

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 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 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.

Saving energy and respecting the environment

Saving on detergent, water, energy and time

 To avoid wasting resources, the washing machine

should be used with a full load. A full load instead of two half loads allows you to save up to 50% on energy.

 The pre-wash cycle is only necessary on

extremely soiled garments. Avoiding it will save on detergent, time, water and between 5 and 15% energy.

 Treating stains with a stain remover or leaving

them to soak before washing will cut down the need to wash them at high temperatures. A programme at 60°C instead of 90°C or one at 40°C instead of 60°C will save up to 50% on energy.

 Use the correct quantity of detergent depending

on the water hardness, how soiled the garments are and the amount of laundry you have, to avoid wastage and to protect the environment: despite being biodegradable, detergents do contain ingredients that alter the natural balance of the environment. In addition, avoid using fabric softener as much as possible.

 If you use your washing machine from late in the

afternoon until the early hours of the morning, you will help reduce the electricity board's peak load. The Delay Timer option helps to organise your wash cycles accordingly.

 If your laundry has to be dried in a tumble dryer,

select a high spin speed. Having the least water possible in your laundry will save you time and energy in the drying process.

 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 or electricity supply

 Turn off the water tap after every wash. This will

limit the wear of your appliance's water system and also prevent leaks.

 Unplug your appliance when cleaning it and during

all maintenance operations.

Cleaning your appliance

The exterior and rubber parts of your appliance can be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.

Caring for your appliance door and drum

 Always leave the appliance door ajar to prevent

unpleasant odours from forming.

Cleaning the pump

The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning pump that does not require any maintenance. Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into the pre-chamber that protects the pump, situated in the lower part of the same.

 Make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug

the appliance.

To recover any objects that have fallen into the prechamber:

1. remove the plinth at the bottom on the front side of the washing machine by pulling from the side with your hands (see figure);

2. unscrew the lid rotating it anticlockwise (see figure): a little water may trickle out. This is perfectly normal;

3. clean the interior 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 water inlet hose at least once a year. If you see any cracks, replace it immediately: during the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose could easily split open.

How to clean the detergent dispenser

Disassembly:

Press lightly on the large button on the front of the detergent dispenser and pull it upwards (fig. 1, 2).

Fig. 1 Fig. 2

Cleaning:

Then clean the dispenser under a tap (fig. 3) using an old toothbrush and, once the pair of siphons inserted in the top of compartments 1 and 2 (fig. 4) have been pulled out, check whether the same are not clogged and then rinse them.

 Never use hoses that have already been used.

Reassembly:

Do not forget to reinsert the pair of siphons into the special housings and then to replace the dispenser into its seat, clicking it into place

(fig. 4, 2 and 1).

Instalacja

 Nale¿y zachowaæ niniejsz¹ ksi¹¿eczkê instrukcji dla

przysz³ych konsultacji. W razie sprzeda¿y, oddania, czy przeniesienia pralki w inne miejsce nale¿y upewniæ siê, by przekazana zosta³a ona razem z instrukcj¹, aby nowy w³aciciel zapoznaæ siê móg³ z dzia³aniem urz¹dzenia i odpowiednimi informacjami.

 Nale¿y uwa¿nie przeczytaæ instrukcjê obs³ugi,

gdy¿ zawiera ona wa¿ne informacje dotycz¹ce instalacji oraz w³aciwego i bezpiecznego u¿ytkowania pralki.

Rozpakowanie i wypoziomowanie

Rozpakowanie

1. Rozpakowaæ pralkê.

2. Sprawdziæ, czy nie dozna³a ona uszkodzeñ w czasie transportu. Jeli by³aby ona uszkodzona, nie pod³¹czaæ jej i powiadomiæ sprzedawcê.

3. Odkrêciæ cztery ruby ochronne, zamocowane na czas transportu, oraz zdj¹æ gumow¹ podk³adkê z odpowiedni¹ rozpórk¹,

znajduj¹ce siê w tylnej cianie i (zobacz rysunek).

4. Zatkaæ otwory przy pomocy za³¹czonych do pralki plastykowych zalepkek.

5. Zachowaæ wszystkie te czêci: gdyby okaza³o siê konieczne przewiezienie pralki w inne miejsce, powinny one zostaæ ponownie zamontowane.

Uwaga: w razie ponownego uzycia kròtsze srubki powinny byc przymocowane u gòry.

 Czêci opakowania nie nadaj¹ siê do zabawy dla

dzieci

Wypoziomowanie

1. Ustawiæ pralkê na p³askiej i twardej pod³odze; nie opieraæ jej o ciany, meble itp.

Staranne wypoziomowanie pralki zapewnia jej stabilnoæ i zapobiega wibrowaniu, ha³asom i przesuwaniu siê urz¹dzenia w czasie pracy. W razie ustawienia na dywanie lub wyk³adzinie dywanowej nale¿y tak wyregulowaæ nó¿ki, aby pod pralk¹ pozostawa³a wolna przestrzeñ niezbêdna dla wentylacji.

Ustawienie, przeniesienie

Jeli twój model pralki wyposa¿ony jest w specjalne wysuwalne kó³ka, ³atwo jest j¹ przesuwaæ. Aby wysun¹æ kó³ka i móc dziêki temu ³atwo przesun¹æ pralkê, nale¿y poci¹gn¹æ dwigniê, znajduj¹c¹ siê na dole z lewej strony pod coko³em. Po

przesuniêciu pralki nale¿y z powrotem ustawiæ dwigniê w pierwotnej pozycji. Urz¹dzenie stoi teraz pewnie na pod³odze.

Pod³¹czenie do sieci wodnej i elektrycznej

Pod³¹czenie rury pobierania wody

1. Wsun¹æ uszczelkê A do koñcówki rury pobierania wody i przykrêciæ j¹ do kurka zimnej wody o

gwintowanym otworze 3/4''

(zobacz rysunek).

65 - 100 cm

znajdowaæ siê na wysokoci od 65 do 100 cm od pod³ogi;

 Nie u¿ywaæ przed³u¿aczy ani rozga³êników.

 Przewód nie powinien byæ pozginany ani

przygnieciony.

 Przewód zasilania elektrycznego mo¿e byæ

wymieniany wy³¹cznie przez autoryzowanych techników.

Uwaga! Producent nie ponosi ¿adnej odpowiedzialnoci w przypadku nieprzestrzegania powy¿szych zasad.

ewentualnie oprzeæ go na brzegu zlewu lub wanny, przymocowuj¹c do kranu prowadnik, znajduj¹cy siê w wyposa¿eniu (patrz rysunek). Wolny koniec przewodu odp³ywowego nie powinien byæ zanurzony w wodzie.

 Odradza siê stosowanie przewodów przed³u¿aj¹cych;

jeli to konieczne, przewód przed³u¿aj¹cy powinien mieæ tak¹ sam¹ rednicê jak oryginalny, a jego d³ugoæ nie mo¿e przekraczaæ 150 cm.

Pod³¹czenie elektryczne

Przed w³o¿eniem wtyczki do gniazdka elektrycznego nale¿y siê upewniæ, czy:

 gniazdko posiada uziemienie i jest zgodne z

obowi¹zuj¹cymi przepisami;
