been cleaned, washed, soaked or treated with
petrol, dry cleaning solvents or any other flammable
or explosive substances, as these produce vapours
which could catch fire or explode.

Do not add petrol, dry cleaning solvents or any
other flammable or explosive substances to the
washing water, as these produce vapours which
could catch fire or explode.

Any items stained with substances such as
cooling oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene,
stain remover, turpentine, wax or wax removing
products must be washed in hot water with extra
detergent before drying them in the tumble dryer.

Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower
caps, waterproof fabrics, rubber-lined items and
clothing or pillows stuffed with pieces of foam
rubber must not be dried in the tumble dryer.

Do not repair or replace any part of the washing
machine or attempt to carry out any type of
servicing, unless it is expressly recommended in
the maintenance instructions in the manual.

replaced by the manufacturer, their after-sales
service or similar qualified personnel, to avoid
hazards.

Do not use an extension lead or adaptor plug

to connect the washing machine to the mains.

Do not climb onto the washing machine or lean

on the loading door when it is open.

The machine must only be used for the purpose

for which it is designed.

Follow the washing instructions recommended

by the manufacturer of the garment to be washed.

Fabric softeners or similar products should be

used as described in the fabric softener instructions.

The appliance should not be installed behind a
lockable or sliding door or a door with the hinges
on the opposite side to where the tumble dryer is
located.

Do not start up the washing machine until you
have ensured that:

• It has been installed in accordance with the
installation instructions.

• IAll the water, drainage, electrical and earth
connections comply with local legislation and
any other applicable regulations.

The final stage of a tumble dryer cycle does not
use heat, so as not to damage the items (cooling
cycle). Never stop the tumble dryer before the end
of the drying cycle, unless you quickly remove all
the items and lay them out for them to cool down.

CONNECTION TO THE

MAINS WATER SUPPLY

DRAINAGE

CONNECTION

It is important that the drain hose
bend is correctly fastened to the
outlet, to prevent any risk of it
becoming detached and causing
flooding.

If your washing machine has a hot
water intake, connect the hose with
the red threaded end to the hot water
tap, and to the electrovalve with the
red filter.

The washing machine must be
connected to the mains water supply,
using the new supply hoses supplied
with the appliance. Do not use water
supply hoses that have been used
before. For your washing machine to
work properly, the mains water
pressure must be between 0.05 and
1MPa (0.05 and 10 Kgr/cm

).

Important

Important

Use the adjustable feet to level the
washing machine. This will reduce
the noise level and prevent it from
moving during use.

Do not bring the feet too far out, you
will achieve better stability.

You need to use a spanner for the
models that have a nut.

LEVELLING THE WASHING MACHINE AND CONNECTING
IT TO THE MAINS ELECTRICITY SUPPLY

installation and assembly

3

Consult the specifications plate located on the
hatch door of the washing machine before
making the electrical connections. Ensure that
the voltage reaching the plug is the same as
that on the plate.

Do not remove the specifications plate.
The information on it is important.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

LEVELLING

It is very important to correctly earth the
washing machine. The electrical
installation, plug, socket, fuses or
automatic switch and counter must be
correctly dimensioned for the maximum
power indicated on the specifications
plate.

Do not plug the washing machine plug
into the socket with wet or damp hands.

To remove the power cord, pull on the
body of the plug.

If the power cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by a cord or special unit provided
by either the manufacturer or your after­sales service.

With built-in washing machines, the plug
must be accessible after installation.

PRE-CLEANING

When your washing machine has been
correctly installed, we recommend that you
pre-clean the machine.

This is to check that the installation, the
connections and the drainage are all correct,
and to thoroughly clean the inside of the
washing machine before any wash
programmes are run (see the operating
instructions on the following pages).

a Select the normal programme at 60ºC.

b Press the Start/Stop button.

and how they are made:

We recommend using the delicate

programmes for sensitive fabrics. There
is a special wool programme for
woollens.

b Sort clothes according to how soiled

they are.

• Wash lightly soiled garments using a
short programme.

• Use a programme without prewash
for medium-soiled garments.

• Wash heavily soiled garments using a
long programme with prewash.

a Sort your clothes according to colour.

Wash whites and coloured separately.

Important

We recommend loading the washing
machine to its full capacity. This
means savings on water and energy.

Whenever possible, we recommend
that you wash garments of different
sizes within the same wash
programme. This improves the
washing action and also aids the
correct distribution of the garments
in the drum when spin-drying, and
the washing machine will therefore
be quieter.

It is a good idea to put small garments
in a wash bag.

SORTING THE CLOTHES

Important

Before using the drying
programme, first check
the label on the garment
to make sure it can be
tumble dried.

Make sure
beforehand
that your
woollens can
be machine­washed.

a Your washing machine’s detergent

dispenser has three compartments.

b Put the detergent or additive into the

detergent dispenser before starting the
wash programme.

c Liquid detergents may also be used in

this washing machine. An optional
detergent dispenser is to be used for
this, which can be obtained from the
Technical Service Network.

Place this optional dispenser inside the
wash compartment.

The level of liquid must never be
higher than the MAX mark printed on
the dispenser wall.

Remember that the amount of detergent to
be used will always depend on:

The amount of clothes to be washed.
How heavily the clothes are soiled.

The hardness of the water (Information on
water hardness in your area can be obtained
from the competent local authorities).

We recommend the use of a
decalcifying product if the water
hardness is high in your area.

using the appliance and practical tips

DETERGENT AND

ADDITIVES

Important

Remember that concentrated detergents
exist which are more environment- and
nature-friendly.

The use of more detergent than
necessary will not improve your
washing results, and apart from costing

you money it will have a negative effect

on the preservation of the

environment.

We therefore recommend you follow
the detergent manufacturer’s
instructions.

using the appliance and practical tips

PROGRAMME

PHASES

Once started, current programme status and
time remaining till completion can be
ascertained from the screen.

The active phases will appear successively at
the top of the display as the programme
progresses. The time remaining until the end
of the programme will also appear on the
display. It updates at regular intervals, but not
minute by minute.

Any option button can be selected provided
the wash phase in which it takes effect has
not been passed and when the programme
accepts the option.

Pressing the start/stop button during the wash
activates the PAUSE function.

POWER CUTS

If there is a power cut, the washing machine
will continue to operate from the point at which
it stopped when power is reconnected (its
memory lasts for a few hours).

warnings

Level the washing machine by adjusting the

feet to reduce the noise caused by spin-drying.

Try and wash clothes of different sizes in
the same wash programme to favour the
distribution of the clothes inside the drum
during spin-drying.

All the models have a safety system for
spin-drying that prevents spin-drying from
being carried out if the distribution of the
clothes inside the drum is too concentrated.
This prevents the appliance from vibrating too
much.
If you find that the clothes are not properly
wrung out, try spin-drying them again after
having distributed the clothes more evenly in
the drum.

If the programme is changed on the
selector dial during the washing and
drying process, the washer-dryer will
go onto PAUSE status and the
programme will be cancelled.

If you need to add or remove a
garment, press the start/stop button
and make sure that the water level is
not above the door overflow level and
that the temperature inside is not
high. Press the start/stop button again
to restart the wash from the same
cycle phase it had stopped at.

Important

washing machine

maintenance and cleaning

After each wash, leave the door open
for a while to allow the air to circulate
freely inside the machine.

From time to time, depending on the
hardness of your water, it is
recommendable to run a full wash cycle
using a decalcifying product. This will

extend the life of your washing
machine.

MAINTENANCE

The washing machine should be
disconnected from the mains
electricity supply before any cleaning
or maintenance is carried out.

Clean the detergent dispenser whenever
there is any washing product residue left
inside.

a Pull outwards on the detergent

dispenser to remove it completely.

b Use warm water and a brush to

clean the compartments.

c Also clean the additive

compartment siphons, having
removed them first. Once they
have been cleaned, put them back
making sure that they fit right in to
the back.
Put the dispenser back into the
washing machine.

A dirty or incorrectly fitted siphon will
prevent the additives from being taken
in and leave water inside the
compartment at the end of the wash.

Never open up the
appliance. There is no fuse
or similar component inside
that can be replaced by the
user.

Important

If you detect any problems with
your washing machine, you will
probably be able to rectify them
yourself by consulting the following
instructions.

If this is not the case, unplug the
appliance and contact the

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
SERVICE.

This may be due to the following:

Check the door is properly shut.

The washing machine is not plugged into the mains or

there is no voltage in the mains supply.

The Start/Stop button has not been pressed.

If the washing machine door is not properly shut, F04
will appear on the display.

This may be due to the following:

The blocking and transport screws have not been
removed.

The washing machine has not been correctly levelled.

Why doesn’t the washing
machine take in water?

Why doesn’t the washing
machine drain or spin-dry?

Why doesn’t the washing
machine spin-dry?

Why can’t I see any water in
the drum during the wash?

Indicator F01, no water coming in, this may be due to
a cut in the water supply, a tap turned off or a blocked
water inlet filter.

The possible solutions are as follows: wait for the water
supply to be reconnected, turn on the tap, or remove
the water inlet hose and clean the filter.
If this failure is detected, F01 will appear on the display.

The reasons for the F02 indicator may be the following:
washing machine drain pump blocked, building drainage
pipes blocked, or incorrect pump electrical connection.

Solution: if the pump is blocked, gain access to it as
described in section 2, maintaining and cleaning the
appliance.
If this failure is detected, F02 will appear on the display.

This may be due to an uneven distribution of clothes
in the drum and may cause an excessive level of
vibrations.

The solution is to select a spin-drying programme.
If this failure is detected, C3 will appear on the display.

This is due to the fact that the washing machine is provided
with a system which is able to adapt to the load and type
of fabrics, adjusting the levels of water and energy used,
in order to preserve the environment.
So, although the water level you can see through the hatch
may look low, there is no cause for concern as washing
and rinsing efficiency will still be optimum.

24

safety and troubleshooting

This may be because the dispenser needs cleaning. This
simple operation is described in Maintaining and cleaning

the appliance.
1- Cleaning the detergent dispenser.

Washing machines today are provided with safety systems
for users. One of them is that the washing machine cannot
be opened until it is certain that the drum is quite still. This
is why the hatch cannot be opened for 2 minutes.

This time is for guidance purposes only and may be affected
by the conditions under which the selected programme is
being run, e.g. initial water temperature, size of load or
unbalance caused by the garments during spin drying.

The washing machine can detect other indications. When
this happens a number of other indicators appear on the
display: F05, F06..., F10. If this happens, call the Official
Technical Service.

Why is there still some water
in the dispenser?

Why can’t I open the hatch
immediately after the wash
has finished?

Why doesn’t the remaining
time shown on the clock
coincide with the real time
left until the selected cycle
finishes?

Other indications

When your appliance is of no further use, it should
not be disposed of together with general domestic
waste.

It can be taken, free of charge, to a specific waste
collection centre, run by your local authority, or
dealers who provide this service.

Disposing of waste domestic appliances separately
means avoiding possible negative consequences
for the environment and health, derived from
incorrect disposal. This will enable the materials
in them to be treated and recycled, obtaining
important savings in energy and resources.

To highlight the obligation of collaborating with
selective waste collection, the product is marked
with a symbol to warn against using traditional
containers for disposing of the appliance.

For further information, contact
your local authority or the shop
where you purchased the product.
