Warnings
The following warnings are provided in the interests of overall safety. You must read them carefully before
installing or using the appliance.
Installation
• All internal packing must be removed before using
the appliance. Serious damage may be caused to
the machine or adjacent furniture if the protective
transit devices are not removed or are not completely removed. Refer to the relevant paragraph in
the instruction book.
• Any electrical work required to install this appliance
must be carried out by a qualified electrician.
• Any plumbing work required to install this appliance
must be carried out by a qualified plumber.
• After having installed the machine, check that it is
not standing on its electrical supply cable.
• If the appliance is placed on a carpeted floor, ensure
that air can circulate freely between the feet and the
floor.
Use
• This appliance is designed for domestic use. It must
not be used for purposes other than those for which
it was designed.
• Only wash fabrics which are designed to be machine
washed. Follow the instructions on each garment
label.
• Do not overload the appliance. Follow the instructions in the instruction book.
• Make sure that all pockets are empty. Objects such
as coins, safety pins, pins and screws can cause
extensive damage.
• Do not machine wash garments saturated with
petroleum, methylated spirits, trichlorethylene, etc. If
such fluids have been used to remove stains prior to
washing, wait until they have completely evaporated
from the fabric before placing garments in the
appliance.
• Place small items such as socks, belts, etc. in a
cloth bag or pillowcase to prevent them getting trapped between the drum and the tub.
• Use only the recommended quantities of fabric softener or bleaching agent. An excessive amount
could damage the laundry.
• Leave the porthole door slightly ajar when the
appliance is not in use. This preserves the door seal
and prevents the formation of musty smells.
• Always check that water has emptied out before
opening the door. If not, drain the water following
the instructions in the instruction book.
• Always unplug the appliance and shut the water tap
after use.
General safety
• Repairs to the machine must be carried out only by
qualified personnel. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons could cause serious danger.
Contact your local Service Centre.
• Never pull the power supply cable to remove the
plug from the socket; always take hold of the plug
itself.
• During high temperature wash programmes the
door glass may get hot. Do not touch it!
Child safety
• Children are often not aware of how dangerous
electrical appliances can be. When the machine is
working, children should be carefully supervised
and not be allowed to play with the appliance.
• The packaging components (e.g. plastic film, polystyrene) can be dangerous to children - danger of
suffocation! Keep them out of children’s reach.
• Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children’s
reach.
• Make sure that children or pets do not climb into the
drum.
• When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the
electrical supply cable and destroy the plug with the
remaining cable. Disable the door catch in order to
prevent children from becoming trapped inside while
playing.

Disposal
Tips for environmental protection
Packaging materials
The materials marked with the symbol are recyclable.
>PE<=polyethylene
>PS<=polystyrene
>PP<=polypropylene
This means that they can be recycled by disposing of
them properly in appropriate collection containers.
Machine
Use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance.
Help to keep your country tidy!
To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these tips:
• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without
prewashing in order to save detergent, water and
time (the environment is protected too!).
• The machine works more economically if it is fully
loaded.
• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited
soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be
washed at a lower temperature.
• Measure out detergent according to the water
hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of
laundry being washed.

under the machine to compensate for any unevenness
in the floor.
Water inlet
Connect the water inlet hose supplied with the
machine to a tap with a 3/4" thread.
Do not use already employed hoses.
The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too short
and you do not wish to move the tap, you will have to
purchase a new, longer hose specially designed for
this type of use.
The other end of the inlet hose which connects to the
machine can be turned in any direction. Simply loosen
the fitting, rotate the hose and retighten the fitting,
making sure there are no water leaks.

Water drainage
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three
ways:
Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plastic
hose guide supplied with the machine. In this
case, make sure the end cannot come unhooked
when the machine is emptying.
This could be done by tying it to the tap with a piece of
string or attaching it to the wall.
In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must be
above the trap so that the bend is at least 60 cm
above the ground.
Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less than
60 cm and not more than 90 cm.
The end of the drain hose must always be ventilated,
i.e. the inside diameter of the drain pipe must be larger than the outside diameter of the drain hose.
The drain hose must not be kinked. Run it along the
floor; only the part near the drainage point must be
raised.
P0023

Washing hints
Sorting the laundry
Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label
and the manufacturer’s washing instructions.
Sort the laundry as follows:
whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.
Temperatures
90°
for normally soiled white cottons and linen
(e.g. tea cloths, towels, tablecloths,
sheets...)
60° for normally soiled, colour fast garments
(e.g. shirts, night dresses, pyjamas....) in
linen, cotton or synthetic fibres and for
lightly soiled white cotton (e.g. underwear).
(cold) for delicate items (e.g. net curtains),
30°-40° mixed laundry including synthetic fibres
and woollens bearing the label «pure new
wool, machine washable, non-shrink».
The wool wash cycle of this machine has
been approved by Woolmark for the
washing of machine washable Woolmark
products provided that the garments are
washed according to the instructions on
the garment label and those issued by the
manufacturer of this washing machine.
M9602.
Before loading the laundry
Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites
may lose their “whiteness” in the wash.
New coloured items may run in the first wash; they
should therefore be washed separately the first time.
Make sure that no metal objects are left in the
laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).
Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and
poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.
Remove persistent stains before washing. Rub particularly soiled areas with a special detergent or detergent paste.
Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or tie
them up in a bag or net.
Maximum loads
Recommended loads are indicated in the programme
charts.
General rules:
cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed;
synthetics: drum no more than half full;
delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more than
one third full.
Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient
use of water and energy.
For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.
Laundry weights
The following weights are indicative:
bathrobe 1200 g
napkin 100 g
quilt cover 700 g
sheet 500 g
pillow case 200 g
tablecloth 250 g
towelling towel 200 g
tea cloth 100 g
night dress 200 g
ladies’ briefs 100 g
man’s work shirt 600 g
man’s shirt 200 g
man’s pyjamas 500 g
blouse 100 g
men’s underpants 100 g
Removing stains
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and
detergent. It is therefore advisable to treat them prior to
washing.
Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried
stains, soak overnight in water with a special detergent
then rub in the soap and water.
Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain remover,
lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain; treat
several times.
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay the
garment on a soft surface and dab the stain with the
fingertips and a cotton cloth.
Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust
removing product used cold. Be careful with rust stains
which are not recent since the cellulose structure will
already have been damaged and the fabric tends to
hole.
Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whites and
fast coloureds only).
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and
fast coloureds only).
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone (*), lay
the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.
ENGLISH
26
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat
stains with methylated spirits. Remove any residual
marks from white fabrics with bleach.
Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and
treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse. Treat any
residual marks with bleach.
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric
first with acetone (*), then with acetic acid; treat any
residual marks on white fabrics with bleach and then
rinse thoroughly.
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated
spirits or benzine, then rub with detergent paste.
(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk
Detergents and additives
Good washing results also depend on the choice of
detergent and use of the correct quantities to avoid
waste and protect the environment. Although
biodegradable, detergents contain substances which,
in large quantities, can upset the delicate balance of
nature.
The choice of detergent will depend on the type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the colour,
washing temperature and degree of soiling.
All commonly available washing machine detergents
may be used in this appliance:
– powder detergents for all types of fabric,
– powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C max)
and woollens,
– liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature
wash programmes (60°C max) for all types of fabric, or special for woollens only,
– multi-part detergents for separate dispensing of
detergent, water softener and bleach.
The detergent and any additives must be placed in the
appropriate compartments of the dispenser drawer
before starting the wash programme.
If using concentrated powder or liquid detergents, a
programme without prewash must be selected.
Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer compartment marked just before starting the programme.
Any fabric softener or starching additives must be
poured into the compartment marked and the
bleaching agent in the compartment marked
before starting the wash programme.
Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations
on quantities to use.
Quantity of detergent to be used
The type and quantity of detergent will depend on the
type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and hardness of the water used.
Water hardness is classified in so-called “degrees” of
hardness. Information on hardness of the water in your
area can be obtained from the relevant water supply
company, or from your local authority.
Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on
quantities to use.
Use less detergent if:
– you are washing a small load
– the laundry is lightly soiled
– large amounts of foam form during washing.

If the water is not discharged (outlet pump is blocked,
filter or drain hose are clogged), proceed as follows to
empty out the machine:
• pull out the plug from the power socket;
• close the water tap;
• if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;
• place a bowl on the floor;
• put the drain hose end into the bowl and let the
water come out.
Should it not be possible to have access to the drain
hose because, for example, the appliance is built in
the kitchen furniture, slightly loosen the outlet filter
after placing a bowl on the floor, to let the water come
out slowly.
At the end screw the filter again.
6. Frost precautions
If the machine is installed in a place where the temperature could drop below 0°C, proceed as follows:
• Close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet
hose from the tap.
• Place the end of the drain hose and that of the inlet
hose in a bowl placed on the floor.
• Select programme (drain) and run it until the
machine stops.
• Remove the plug from the socket.
• Screw the water inlet hose back on and put the drain
hose back in its place.
By doing this, any water remaining in the machine is
removed, avoiding the formation of ice and, consequently, breakage of the affected parts.
When you use the machine again, make sure that the
ambient temperature is above 0°C.

If the machine does not start up:
●
check that the door is firmly shut;
●
check that the appliance is plugged in
●
check that the mains fuse is intact;
●
check that the programme selector dial is correctly
positioned and the on/off button depressed.
If the machine does not fill:
●
is the tap on?
●
is water coming out of the tap? Check.
●
is the inlet hose squashed or bent?
●
is the filter of the inlet hose clogged?
●
is the loading door open?
If the machine empties as it fills:
●
the end of the drain hose is too low.
If the machine does not drain and/or does
not spin:
●
is the drain hose squashed or bent?
●
is the drain filter clogged?
●
Have you selected a «gentle programme» with the
ANTI-CREASE option (ANTI-ARRUGAS)?
●
is the spin speed selector dial positioned on ?
If there is water on the floor:
●
too much detergent or unsuitable detergent? The
formation of foam can cause water leaks.
●
is one of the joints or the tap leaking? It is not
always easy to see as the leak often runs along the
hose.
If the machine vibrates or is too noisy:
●
have all the transit bolts and packing been
removed?
●
is the machine touching something?
●
are all the feet resting firmly on the ground?
If you are unable to identify or solve the problem,
consult our servicing department. Before telephoning,
make a note of the make, model and date of purchase
of your machine: the Service Department will require
this information.
