LEVELLING

You will find the water­input pipe inside the
drum:

a Connect the bent

end of the pipe at
the screw entrance
of the electrically
operated valve situa­ted at the back of
the machine.

b Connect the other

end of the tube to
the water supply.
Tighten the connec­tion nut well.

We recommend you
have a fixed drainage
exit at a distance of bet­ween 50 and 70 cm
from the floor.

Ensure that the drainage
pipe is not too tight and
that there are no folds or
bottlenecks.

Level the washing
machine by using the
adjustable feet. This will
reduce the noise level
and ensure that the
machine will not move
when in operation.

70 cm

min.
50 cm

IMPORTANT

It is important that the elbow of the pipe is properly fixed at the exit so that it doesn’t fall,
with the consequent risk of flooding.

If your washing machine has an input for hot water, connect the tube with the red threa­ding to the hot water tap and to the electrically operated valve with the red filter.

The washing machine is to be connected to the water supply network using the new supply
pipes provided with the appliance. The old water supply pipes are not to be used.

For correct functioning of the washing machine, the water network pressure must be bet-

ween 0.05 and 1 MPa (0.5 - 10 Kgrf/cm

INSTALATION OF THE WASHING MACHINE UNDER THE
KITCHEN WORKTOP

Now that you have satis­factorily installed your
washing machine, we
recommend that you run
programme 5 at 60ºC,
without inserting any
laundry or detergent.
This is in order to
check the installation,
the connections and
the drainage system,
as well as to fully clean
the inside before run­ning a wash program­me in the washing
machine.

It is possible to place

the washing machine
under the kitchen
worktop.

If you need to change
the worktop of the was­hing machine, please
ask the Technical
Support Service, for the
guard plate and follow
these steps:

a Dismantle the work-

top of your washing
machine by loose­ning the side screws
and lightly knocking
the worktop back­ward in order to
extract it.

b Remove the fasteners

that hold the worktop
in place by loosening
the screws.

c Place and screw in

the guard plate on
the washing machine
in order that you may
introduce it in the
intended spot.

PRIOR CLEANING

HOW TO USE THE MACHINE. PRACTICAL TIPS

PREPARING THE LAUNDRY BEFORE A WASH

WASHING MACHINE

Sort your laundry
according to
material or make­up. We recommend

you use delicate pro­grammes for delicate
garments. Woollens
may be washed in a
special wool program­me.

1

Before putting the
laundry in the drum,
ensure that all the poc-
kets are empty. Small
objects can obstruct
the motor pump for
water discharge.

IMPORTANTEIMPORTANT

Please ensure that your woollen garments are machine washable before run­ning the wool programme.

59

English

2

USE OF DETERGENT AND ADDITIVES

Sort your laundry
according to how
soiled it is.

a Lightly soiled gar-

ments should prefe­rably be washed in
a short, cold pro­gramme.

b Normally soiled

garments should be
washed in a pro­gramme without
pre-wash..

c Heavily soiled gar-

ments may be was­hed in a long pro­gramme with pre­wash.

Sort your
laundry accor­ding to the
colours. Wash whi-

tes and coloureds
separately.

Before you start the
wash programme, intro­duce the detergent or
additive in the deter-
gent drawer. The
detergent drawer of
your washing machine
has three compart­ments.

IMPORTANT

We remind you to load the washing machine at its maxi­mum capacity.This will save water and energy.

IWe recommend that you wash garments of different
sizes in the same wash programme, if possible, in
order to reinforce the washing effects. This also favours
the distribution of the laundry inside the drum at the spin­ning stage, which will mean the machine will work more

silently.

Pre-wash Compartment.

Wash Compartment.
Liquid Additive Compartment (softeners,…)

IMPORTANT

The liquid level should never exceed the MAX reference
mark on the side of the drawer.

You may also use
liquid detergents with
this washing machine,
using the optional
drawer that may be
acquired through the
Technical Support
Network.

The optional drawer
should be placed in
the wash compart­ment.

Remember that the
dose of detergent to
be used always
depends on

● The amount of
laundry to be was­hed.

● How soiled the
laundry is.

● The hardness of
the water (You can
request information
on the water hard­ness from the com­petent local enti­ties).

Remember that there are concentrated deter­gents that are more careful with nature and the

environment.

Using more detergent than is needed does not
improve the wash results and as well as being a
waste of money, it has a negative effect on the

preservation of the environment.

Therefore, please follow the instructions supplied
by the manufacturer of the detergent.

TIPS

● In order to reduce
the noise produ-

ced during the spin
cycle, level the
washing machine
using the adjusta­ble feet.

● Try to wash gar­ments of different
sizes in the same
wash programme.
this improves the
distribution of the
clothes in the drum
during the spin
cycle.

● All models have a
spin safety system
that does not allow
the machine to per­form the spin cycle
if the distribution of
the laundry in the
drum is very con­centrated. this
means the machine
does not vibrate
too much.

If at any moment

you notice that the
laundry is not fully
rinsed when you
take it out, try to

spin again after dis-

tributing the clothes
more evenly in the
drum.

With the aim of preserving the environment, your
washing machine is equipped with a system that is
able to adapt to the different conditions of use
(laundry load and type of material) , thereby ensu­ring an optimum level of water and energy.
This means that during the wash process, alt­hough the amount of water you can see through
the porthole door may seem low, there is no
need to worry. The wash and rinse will be highly
efficient.

ECOLOGICAL NOTE

69

English

MAINTAINING AND CLEANING THE MACHINE

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

Depending on the
hardness of the water,
we recommend running
a complete wash cycle
using a decalcifying
product. This will pro-

long the life of your
washing machine.

WASHING MACHINE

You should clean the
detergent drawer whe­never you notice resi­dues of any product
inside it.

a Fully extract the

detergent drawer
by pulling out the
flap.

b Clean the

compartments in
the drawer. Use
warm water and a
brush.

c Also, clean the sip-

hons in the additive
drawer.

Replace the drawer in
the washing machine.

CLEANING THE DETERGENT DRAWER

Before any cleaning or
maintenance opera­tions, we recommend
you disconnect the
washing machine from
the electricity mains.

IMPORTANT

Clean the accessible
filter whenever the
drainage pump is
blocked by foreign
bodies.

a Loosen the base

by gently pulling
on the sides and
turning down­wards. Then undo
the fasteners.
If there is no side
access, introduce
a small screwdriver
in the three slots
on the upper part
of the base, in
order to lever it
and loosen the
hooks.

b Use a plate or

other container
under the filter to
collect the water
that will be relea­sed when it is loo­sened.

c Turn the filter a

quarter- or half­way sideways
towards the left.
Water will start to
come out.

d When you are finis-

hed taking the
water out of the
washing machine,
turn the filter
around several
times until you can
take it out fully.

e Remove any

objects or fluff that
may be in the filter.

f Replace the filter

and the base in
their places.

CLEANING THE ACCESSIBLE FILTER

In order to avoid burns,
this operation should
not be carried out when
the wash water tempe­rature is over 30ºC.

IMPORTANT

English

71

In order to clean the
outside of the washing
machine, use warm
soapy water or a soft,
non-abrasive cleaning
agent that does not
contain solvents.

Then dry it well with a
soft cloth.

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE MACHINE

If you detect a problem
when using your was­hing machine, you may
be able to solve it after
consulting the follo­wing troubleshooting
tips.
If you cannot find the
solution, disconnect
the machine and con­tact the TECHNICAL

SUPPORT SERVICE

• Why doesn’t the washing machine start working?

Perhaps

– There is no voltage in the electricity mains.

– The fuses of the electrical fittings are blown.

– The washing machine is not connected to the electri-

city mains.

– You didn’t press the on/off button(this button’s light

should be on)

– The programme selector dial is not out.

– The door of the washing machine isn’t closed properly.

When this is detected, the displays that show “pre­wash” or “end” flash and F04 appears on the display
of the washing machine. Then you should check if the

SAFETY AND TROUBLESHOOTING

WASHING MACHINE

• Why doesn’t the washing machine fill with water?

– When this fault is detected, the Wash and Rinse dis-

plays will flash in turn. If your washing machine has a
display, it will show F01.

– This water input fault could be due to an interrup-

tion in the water supply, water input tap or because
the water input filter on the washing machine is
blocked.

– Therefore, you should take the following steps: wait

until the water supply starts again, open the water
input tap or loosen the water input pipe and clean its
filter.

• Why doesn’t the washing machine drain or spin?

– When this fault is detected, the Rinse and End dis-

plays will flash in turn. If your washing machine has a
display, it will show F02.

– Possible reasons for this fault may be: obstruction in

the drain motor pump in the washing machine, obs­truction in the drainage piping of the building or inco­rrect electrical connection of the motor pump.

– Action: if the reason for the fault is an obstruction in

the motor-pump, follow the steps in section 2.
Maintaining and cleaning the machine.

• Why doesn’t the washing machine spin the clothes?

– When this fault is detected, the Pre-wash and Wash

displays will flash in turn. If your washing machine has
a display, it will show F03.

– This fault occurs because the laundry is not evenly

distributed in the drum, which can cause too much
vibration.

– Solution: return to the spin stage. .

• Is it better to put the detergent in the drawer or directly in the drum?

The use of “detergent tablets” that go directly into the
drum is increasingly common. These tablets wash well
and do not damage the laundry. However, other powder
and liquid detergents contain aggressive components
that may damage clothes if applied directly to the gar­ments. In this case, we recommend you use the drawer

• Why can’t I see water in the drum?

This could be because the washing machine has a sys­tem that allows it to adapt to the laundry load and the
type of material, adjusting the water level and the energy
used with a view to preserving the environment. This
means that during the wash process, although the
amount of water you can see through the porthole door
may seem low, there is no need to worry. The wash and
rinse will be highly efficient.

• Why is water coming out of the drawer?

Perhaps the drawer or dispenser needs cleaning. This
simple operation is described in Maintaining and clea-

ning the machine.
1- Cleaning the detergent drawer.

• Why can’t I open the porthole door immediately after the wash ends?

Modern washing machines are equipped with safety sys­tems to protect users. One of these is that it is not possible
to open the washing machine until the drum has come to a
complete halt. That is why it takes about 2 minutes before
you can open the porthole door.

• Other faults

– The washing machine is able to detect other faults.

When this happens, all the displays for the various
wash stages will flash or different errors will appear on

the display, F05, F06......,F10.

– These faults may be due to very diverse causes.

– Solution: call the OFFICIAL TECHNICAL SUPPORT
