As a reminder of the need to dispose of household appliances separately, the product is marked with a crossed-out wheeled dustbin.
Safety Warnings
If the plug or cord is damaged, do not connect the
appliance to the mains power supply. If the cord is damaged it should be replaced by the manufacturer or appointed service agent in order to avoid a hazard.
To remove the plug from the socket, pull on the body of
the plug, not the cable.
Do not plug the appliance in to the mains power supply
with wet or damp hands.
Never touch the appliance with wet hands or feet.
Never open the detergent drawer when a programme is
running.
Never force the appliance door open when a programme
is running.
Since the appliance can reach high temperatures while
running, do not touch the drain hose or drained water during draining.
In case of any failure, first unplug the appliance and close
the water tap.
Repair on this appliance should only be undertaken by
suitably qualified personnel.
Keep the packing materials away from children to prevent
risk of injury.
Do not let children play with the washing machine.
Keep pets away from the appliance.
The appliance should not be installed on carpeted surfaces
as this can block the air ventilation on the base.
Warnings
To avoid the risk of fire, electric shocks, injury or damage when using your washing machine, please take the following precautions:
Please read all the instructions before using the washing
machine.
Do not wash items that have previously been cleaned,
washed, soaked or treated with petrol, solvents for dry cleaning, other inflammable substances or explosives, as they produce fumes that could catch fire or explode.
Do not add petrol, solvents for dry cleaning or other
inflammable or explosive substances to the wash water as they produce fumes that could catch fire or explode.
Do not repair or replace any part of the washing machine
or try to carry out any type of servicing unless it is recommended in the maintenance instructions in the manual.
Do not climb onto the machine or stand on the open
porthole door.
Do not use an extension lead or adaptor to connect your
washing machine to the mains supply.
Follow the washing instructions recommended by the
manufacturer of the garment to be washed.
Do not turn your washing machine on until you are sure
6
that it has been installed in accordance with the installation instructions and all the water, drainage, mains electricity and earth connections meet the local regulations and/or
other applicable regulations. Important: Ensure that the transit bolts have been removed prior to using the machine.
Recommendations
Residues of detergent or softener left in the detergent
drawer for long periods will dry and stick to the detergent
drawer. To prevent this put the detergent and softener into
the detergent drawer just before washing.
It is recommended that the pre-wash programme should
only be used for very dirty clothes.
Do not exceed the maximum loading capacity.
When the machine is not in use, keep the water tap closed.
The appliance is not intended for use by people (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
If the appliance is not to be used for prolonged periods of
time, unplug the appliance, close the water tap and leave
the door ajar to keep the inside of the machine dry and to
prevent unpleasant odours from developing.
As a result of the quality control procedures during
production, a certain amount of water may remain in the
appliance. This is normal and does not signify a fault.
Do not remove the rating plate. The information on it is
important.
This appliance should not be installed in locations where
the ambient temperature may fall below 0°C. Use in
7
ambient temperatures below 0°C may damage the
machine.
Before First Use
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. Prior to pre-cleaning you should ensure the transit bolts have been removed.
Select the Cotton 90ºC programme and add a normal dose
of detergent into the detergent dispenser.
Press the Start/Pause button.
Preparing Garments for Washing
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.
Wash white and coloured loads separately.
We recommend that small garments are placed in a wash
bag.
We recommend using the delicate programmes for
sensitive fabrics.
Separate clothes according to their types (cotton, synthetic,
sensitive, woolen, etc.), required washing temperatures and
level of dirtiness.
Since new coloured clothes may shed dye on the first
wash, wash them separately.
Remove any metal pieces found on the items to be
washed, for example curtain hooks.
Fasten all zips and buttons.
Turn garments, such as knitted fabrics, inside out.
8
Before placing the clothes in the drum, make sure all the
pockets are empty. Any small objects may block the drain
pump.
We recommend loading the washing machine to its full
capacity for best water and energy efficiency. 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.
Eco Note
The use of more detergent than necessary will not improve your washing results, and will have a negative effect on the environment. We therefore recommend you follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions.

Opening the Door
The appliance is fitted with a safety device which prevents the door from being opened while a programme is in progress.
Check that all the water has been drained from the tank and the drum is at a standstill.
Warning: If the washing programme is interrupted, it will be from 3 to 15 minutes before the door can be opened, depending on the temperature reached inside the appliance.
Loading the Washing Machine
Open the door.
Add the items to be washed separately, ensuring they are
loaded evenly.
When closing the door, ensure that no item is trapped
between the door and the door seal.
Close the door securely, otherwise the programme will not
start.
Subdivide the items for washing by fabric type and colour
fastness.
Wash white and coloured items separately. New coloured
items should be washed separately the first time. Normally,
items carry labels with washing instructions.

Adding Detergents and Additives
Your washing machine’s detergent dispenser has three compartments, marked with symbols:
For prewash detergent
For main wash detergent
For fabric conditioner, starch or other additives.
The main wash
detergent compartment
has a tang allowing the
use of liquid detergent.
To insert it, pull it towards
the front and then lower
it, as shown here.
Place the detergent and
any additives in the
drawer before the start of
the programme.
Never fill with liquids above the maximum level marked,
otherwise the trays will empty too quickly.
Before pouring concentrated fabric conditioners (or other
dense additives) into the container, dilute with a little water
to ensure they do not clog the outlet.
Use only low-foam detergents suitable for use in a washing
machine.
The amount of detergent must be decided in relation to the
hardness of the water, the type and quantity of items
loaded, and their degree of soiling. This will provide the
12
desired effect with optimal detergent consumption.
On detergent packs the recommended dose is indicated
for 4 levels of water hardness and for loads of 4-5 kg of
washing with average dirt levels.
Detergent Doses
Laundry with normal dirt
Choose a programme without prewash.
Pour the total amount of detergent shown on the pack into
the main wash compartment of the detergent drawer.
Very dirty laundry
Choose a programme with prewash.
Place ¼ of the recommended amount of detergent in the
prewash compartment of the detergent drawer and ¾ of
the detergent in the wash compartment.
Warning:
For delicate items in synthetic fibre use from ½ to ⅔ of the
recommended dose for washing tough cotton fabrics.
Only neutral detergents recommended for wool should be
used on the wool programme.
Use the doses recommended by the detergent producer.
Liquid Detergent
Pour the dose required into the measuring cap supplied
with the bottle of liquid detergent and place it in the drum,
or use the main wash compartment of the detergent
drawer, fitting the insert provided.
The scale on the red insert is intended as an aid when
deciding the dose of liquid detergent.
Warning: Liquid detergents can be used, at the doses recommended by the manufacturer, only for the main wash, i.e. in all programmes without prewash.
