Installation

Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for GB 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.

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

A 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).

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.

65 - 100 cm

underwater.

Connecting the drain hose

Connect the drain hose, without bending it, to a draining duct or a wall drain situated between 65 and 100 cm from the floor;

alternatively, place it over the edge of a basin, sink or tub, fastening the duct supplied to the tap (see figure). The free end of the hose should not be

outdoor environment, not even when the area is sheltered, because it may be very dangerous to leave it exposed to rain and thunderstorms.

When the washing machine is installed, the main socket must be within easy reach.

Do not use extensions or multiple sockets.

The power supply cable must never be bent or dangerously compressed.

The power supply cable must only be replaced by an authorised serviceman.

Warning! The company denies all liability if and when these norms 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, setting the 90°C programme without a pre-wash cycle.

We advise against the use of hose extensions; in case of absolute need, the extension must have the same diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 150 cm in length.

Electric connection

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

•the socket is earthed and in compliance with the applicable law;

•the socket is able to sustain the appliance's maximum power load indicated in the Technical details table (on the right);

•the supply voltage is included within the values i ndicated on the Technical details table

(on the right);

•the socket is compatible with the washing machine's plug. If this is not the case, replace the socket or the plug.

The washing machine should not be installed in an

Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser

GB

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 page 10.

compartment 4: Bleach

Do not use hand wash detergent because it may form too much foam.

Bleach cycle

Traditional bleach should be used on sturdy white fabrics, and delicate bleach for coloured fabrics, synthetics and for wool.

When pouring in the bleach, be careful not to exceed the "max" level indicated on compartment 4 ..

To run the bleach cycle alone, pour the bleach into compartment 4 and set the Extra Rinse option .

.

Preparing your laundry

•Divide your laundry according to:

-the type of fabric/the symbol on the label.

-the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.

•Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons.

•Do not exceed the weight limits stated below, which refer to the weight when dry:

Sturdy fabrics: max 5 kg Synthetic fabrics: max 2.5 kg Delicate fabrics: max 2 kg Wool: max 1 kg

How much does your laundry weigh?

1sheet 400-500 g

1pillow case 150-200 g

1tablecloth 400-500 g

1bathrobe 900-1,200 g

1towel 150-250 g

Special items

Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Wash them separately without exceeding half the appliance load. Use programme 11 which excludes the spin cycle automatically.

Quilted coats and windbreakers: if they are padded with goose or duck down, they can be machine-washed. Turn the garments inside out and load a maximum of 2-3 kg, repeating the rinse cycle once or twice and using the delicate spin cycle. Trainers: remove any mud. They can be washed together with jeans and other tough garments, but not with whites.

Wool: for best results, use a specific detergent, taking care not to exceed a load of 1 kg.

Woolmark Platinum Care

As gentle as a hand wash.

Ariston sets a new standard of superior performance that has been endorsed by

The Woolmark Company with the prestigious Woolmark Platinum Care brand. Look for the Woolmark Platinum Care logo on the washing machine to ensure you can safely and effectively wash wool garments labelled as "hand wash" (M.0303):

Set programme 10 for all "Hand wash" garments, using the appropriate detergent.

(max load 1 kg.)

Precautions and advice

The washing machine was designed and built in compliance with the applicable international safety regulations. The following information is provided for your safety and should consequently be read carefully.

General safety

•This appliance has been designed for nonprofessional, household use and its functions must not be changed.

•This washing machine should only be used by adults and in accordance with the instructions provided in this manual.

•Never touch the washing machine when barefoot or with wet or damp hands or feet.

•Do not pull on the power supply cable to unplug the appliance from the electricity socket. Pull the plug out yourself.

•Do not open the detergent dispenser while the appliance is in operation.

•Do not touch the drain water as it could reach very high temperatures.

•Never force the washing machine door: this could damage the safety lock mechanism designed to prevent any accidental openings.

•In the event of a malfunction, do not under any circumstances touch internal parts in order to attempt repairs.

•Always keep children well away from the appliance while in operation.

•The appliance door tends to get quite hot during the wash cycle.

•Should it have to 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 your laundry into the washing machine, make sure the drum is empty.

Disposal

• Disposal of old electrical appliances

The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), 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.

•Disposing of an old washing machine:

before scrapping your appliance, cut the power supply cable and remove the appliance door.

Saving energy and respecting the environment

Environmentally-friendly technology

If you only see a little water through your appliance door, this is because thanks to the latest technology, your washing machine only needs less than half the amount of water to get the best results: an objective reached to respect 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.

•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.

Care and maintenance

GB	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.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser

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 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 diagram); (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.

Never use hoses that have already been used.

Disassembly:

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

How to clean the detergent dispenser

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.

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).

Votre appareil peut s’avérer bruyant si vous n’avez pas bien réglé ses deux pieds avant.

1. Installez le lave-linge sur un sol plat et rigide, sans l'appuyer contre des murs, des meubles ou autre.

2. Si le sol n'est pas parfaitement horizontal, vissez ou dévissez les petits pieds avant (voir figure) pour niveler l'appareil; son angle d'incli-

naison, mesuré sur le plan de travail, ne doit pas dépasser 2°.

Une bonne mise à niveau garantit la stabilité de la machine et évite qu'il y ait des vibrations, du bruit et des déplacements en cours de fonctionnement. Si la machine est posée sur de la moquette ou un tapis, réglez les petits pieds de manière à ce qu'il y ait suffisamment d'espace pour assurer une bonne ventilation.

Raccordements hydrauliques et électriques

Raccordement du tuyau d'arrivée de l'eau

1. Montez le joint A sur

l'extrémité du tuyau d'alimen-

tation et vissez-le à un robinet

d'eau froide à embout fileté 3/

4 gaz (voir figure).

A

Faites couler l'eau jusqu'à ce qu'elle soit limpide et sans impuretés avant de raccorder.

2. Raccordez le tuyau d'alimentation au lave-linge en le vissant à la prise d'eau prévue, dans la partie arrière en haut à droite (voir figure).

3. Faites attention à ce que le tuyau ne soit ni plié ni écrasé.

La pression de l'eau doit être comprise entre les valeurs indiquées dans le tableau des Caractéristiques techniques

(voir page ci-contre).

Si la longueur du tuyau d'alimentation ne suffit pas, adressez-vous à un magasin spécialisé ou à un technicien agréé.

14

Raccordement du tuyau de vidange

65 - 100 cm

Raccordez le tuyau d'évacuation, sans le plier, à un conduit d'évacuation ou à une évacuation murale placés à une distance du sol comprise entre 65 et 100 cm;

ou bien accrochez-le à un évier ou à une baignoire, dans ce cas, fixez le support en plastique fourni avec l'appareil au robinet (voir figure). L'extrémité libre du tuyau d'évacuation ne doit pas être plongée dans l'eau.

L'utilisation de tuyaux de rallonge est absolument déconseillée, si vous ne pouvez vraiment pas faire autrement vous devrez utiliser un tuyau de même diamètre et de longueur maximum de 150 cm.

Branchement électrique

Avant de brancher la fiche dans la prise de courant, contrôlez que:

•la prise dispose de mise à la terre et est conforme aux normes;

•la prise est bien apte à supporter la puissance maximale de la machine indiquée dans le tableau des Carcatéristiques techniques (voir ci-contre);

•la tension d'alimentation est bien comprise entre les valeurs figurant dans le tableau des Caractéristiques techniques (voir ci-contre);

•la prise est bien compatible avec la fiche du lave-linge. Autrement, remplacez la prise ou la fiche.

Votre lave-linge ne doit pas être installé dehors, même à l'abri, car il est très dangereux de le laisser exposé à la pluie et aux orages.

Après installation du lave-linge, la prise de courant doit être facilement accessible.

N'utilisez ni rallonges ni prises multiples.

Le câble ne doit être ni plié ni écrasé.

Le câble d'alimentation ne doit être remplacé que par des techniciens agréés.

Attention! Nous déclinons toute responsabilité en cas de non respect des normes énumérées ci-dessus.

Premier cycle de lavage

Avant la première utilisation de la machine, effectuez un cycle de lavage avec un produit lessiviel mais sans linge et sélectionnez le programme à 90°C sans prélavage.
