your local retailer.
•
Keep the packaging materials
(plastic bags, polystyrene
parts, etc.) out of reach of
children; they are potentially
dangerous.
2.Remove the transport
bracket
•
The appliance is fitted with
transport screws and a
transport bracket to prevent
damage during transport.
Before using the washing
machine you must remove
the transport bracket
(see “Installation/Remove the
transport bracket”).
3.Install the washing
machine
•
Place the appliance on a flat
and stable floor surface.
• Adjust the feet to ensure
that the machine is stable
and level (see “Installation/

4.Water supply
•
Connect the water supply inlet
hose in accordance with the
regulations of your local water
company (see “Installation/
Connect the water inlet
hose”).
Water

(1-10 bar).
5.Drain hose
•
Connect the drain hose to the
siphon or hook it over the
edge of a sink with the “U”
bend (see “Installation/
Connect the water drain
hose”).
•
If the washing machine is
connected to a built-in
drainage system, ensure the
latter is equipped with a vent
to avoid simultaneous loading
and draining of water
(siphoning effect).
•
Fixed drainage stand pipe.
The internal diameter of the
drain pipe should be 3 cm
minimum. To avoid a syphon
effect, the end of the drain
hose should be 55 cm min.
from the floor.
6.Electrical connection
•
Electrical connections must be
carried out by a qualified
technician in compliance with
the manufacturer’s
instructions and the current
standard safety regulations.
•
The technical data (voltage,
power and fuses) are given on
the rating plate on the rear of
the appliance.
•
The appliance must be
connected exclusively by
means of a socket with an
earth connection in
accordance with current
regulations. The appliance
must be earthed by law. The
manufacturer declines all
liability for damage to persons
or property deriving directly or
indirectly from failure to
observe the directions.
•
Do not use extension leads or
multi sockets.
•
Before any maintenance on the
washing machine disconnect it
from the mains supply.
•
Access to the mains plug or to
disconnection from the mains
supply via a double-pole switch
must be ensured at all times
following the installation.
•
Do not operate the washing
machine if it has been
damaged during transport.
Inform the After-Sales Service.
•
Mains cable replacement is
only to be carried out by AfterSales Service.
•
The appliance must be
connected to an effective
earthing installation, in
compliance with the regulations
in force. In particular, appliances
installed in premises containing a
shower or a bath must be
protected by a differential
residual current device of at least
30 mA. Earthing the appliance is
obligatory under the law. The
manufacturer declines all liability
for damage to persons or
property deriving either directly
or indirectly from failure to
observe the directions above.
•
The washing machine may only
be used in the household for
the prescribed uses.
Dimensions:
Width: 400 mm
Height: 900 mm

First Wash Cycle
We recommend that the first
wash cycle be carried out
empty. This will remove any
residual water used in the
factory checks.
1.
Turn on the tap.
2.
Close the drum flaps.
3.
Pour a small amount of
detergent (about 30 ml) into
the detergent dispenser .
Precautions and General Recommendations
1.Packing
•
The packaging materials are
100% recyclable and bear the
recycling symbol . Adhere
to local regulations when
disposing of packaging
material.
2.Energy saving tips
•
Achieve the best use of ener gy,
water, detergent and time by
using the recommended
maximum load size.
•
Do not exceed the detergent
dosages indicated in the
manufacturer’s instructions.
•
The Eco Ball - a special system
in the outlet - will prevent
detergent loss from the drum
to avoid detergent loss into
the environment.
•
Use “Prewash” for heavily
soiled laundry only! Save
detergent, time, water and
energy consumption by not
selecting “Prewash” for slight
to normally soiled laundry.
•
Pretreat stains with stain
remover or soak dried in stains
in water before washing to
reduce the necessity of a hot
wash program.
•
Save energy by using a 60°C
instead of a 90°C wash
programme or a 40°C instead
of a 60°C wash programme.
•
Save energy and time by
selecting a high spin speed to
reduce the water content in
laundry before using a tumble
dryer (for machines with
adjustable spin speed).
3.Disposing of packaging
and old appliances
•
The washing machine is built
from reusable materials. The
washing machine must be
disposed of in compliance with
current local waste disposal
regulations.
•
Before scrapping, cut off the
power cable so that the
washing machine cannot be
connected to the mains.
•
Remove detergent from
compartment if you intend
scrapping your appliance.
4.Child safety
•
Children must not be allowed
to play with or in the
appliance.
4.
Select a short programme
(see programme chart).
5.

separately: use a special
programme for Pure New
Wool , curtains and other
delicates. Always remove
curtain glides or wash curtains
with the glides inside a cotton
bag. Use the special program

for handwash fabrics. Wash
stockings, belts and other small
items or articles with hooks
(e.g. bras) in special cotton
bags for washing machines or
in zipped pillow cases.
2.

Stain removal
•
Blood, milk, egg and other
organic substances are generally
removed by the enzyme phase of
the programme.
•
To remove red wine, coffee,
tea, grass and fruit stains etc.
add a stain removing agent in
detergents dispenser
compartment or chlorine
bleach in compartment
(depending on model).
•
Particularly stubborn stains
should be treated before the
wash.
Loading the laundry
1.Open the machine lid.
2.
Open the drum by pressing
the small flap and holding
the large flap.
Dyeing and bleaching
Products usually consist of dye

•
Plastic and rubber parts of the
machine may be stained by
dyes or bleaches.
3.
Place the items of laundry in
the drum one by one
without compressing them.
Follow loads recommended
in the “programme chart”:
overloading will result in
unsatisfactory washing
results and creased laundry.
4.Close the drum flaps and
check that they are
properly locked.
Starching
•
Dissolve/dilute the starch,
powder or liquid, in
approximately 1 litre water

Detergents and Additives
Choice of the right
detergents and additives
The type of detergent depends
on:
•
type of fabric (cottons, easy
care/synthetics, delicate items,
wool).
Note: use only specific
detergents for wool.
•
colour;
•
washing temperature;
•
degree and type of soiling.
Notes:
Whitish residues on dark fabrics
are caused by insoluble
detergent components used in
modern phosphate-free powder
detergents. If you notice this
problem, shake or brush the
affected items or use a liquid
detergent.
Keep detergents and additives in
a dry place and out of reach of
children.
Use only detergents and
additives specifically produced

If you use descaling agents, dyes
or bleaches, make sure they are
suitable for washing machine
use. Descaler could contain
components that can attack parts
of your washing machine.
Do not use solvents (turpentine,
benzine, etc.).
Do not machine wash fabrics that
have been treated with solvents
or flammable liquids.
Dosage
Follow the instructions on the
detergent pack in relation to:
•
the degree and type of soiling;
•
the size of the load;
-
full load: follow the
detergent manufacturer’s
instructions;
-
half load: 3/4 the amount
used for a full load;
-
minimum load (about 1 kg):
half the amount used for a
full load;

(ask for information from your
water company): soft water
requires less detergent than
hard water.
Notes:
Too much detergent can result in
excess foam formation, and the
reduction of washing efficiency.
If the washing machine detects
excessive foam it may prevent
spinning.
Insufficient detergent may result
in: grey laundry, deposits on the
drum, tub and heater.
When using concentrated fabric
softeners, add water in the
detergents dispenser up to
“MAX”
To prevent dispensing problems
when using highly concentrated
powder and liquid detergents,
use the special detergent ball or
bag supplied with the detergent
and place it inside the drum.
