1.4 INTRODUCTION
The present booklet was formulated in a simple and rational way,
in order for the reader to become familiar with his/her equipment.
Please, read it carefully and keep it near the equipment at all times.
The advice and instructions contained in this manual cannot cover
every possible contingency. This is why it is important to keep in
mind that common sense and caution cannot be supplied by the
manufacturer along with the appliance, but must be contributed by
those in charge of its installation, maintenance and use.
Whoever operates the equipment must have read this manual
beforehand.
In case of repairs the manufacturer warmly recommends the use of
original spare parts. As for ordering these, reference is made to the
relevant paragraph at the end of this manual.
The descriptions and sketches reported in this manual do not bind
the manufacturer, who reserves the right to update them and/or
include any upgrading modification of parts and fittings at any time
and with no previous notice if this is deemed necessary for
manufacturing or commercial purposes.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
2. ELECTRIC CONNECTION
The machine must be installed by professionally qualified and
licensed personnel, in accordance with the instructions provided by
the manufacturer as well as the national and local regulations.
Incorrect installation may result in harm to persons, animals or
property. The manufacturer undertakes no responsibility for such
damage.
Make sure that power supply voltage meets the details indicated on
the rating plate of the equipment. Consider also that the maximum
allowable power voltage variation is ±10%.
CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE EARTHING SYSTEM
IS MANDATORY.
To this purpose, the terminal block is fitted with a specific contact,
which must be connected according to the regulations in force. The
manufacturer disclaims all responsibility for damage resulting
from non-observance of this accident prevention principle.
In compliance with the latest accident prevention provisions, the
machine is provided with an external terminal for equipotential
connection.
At the beginning of the power supply line there must be an
automatic all-pole circuit breaker with settings meeting the
maximum rated input (cfr. rating plate details of the equipment).
Provide for a 20 mm cable carrier duct (outer diameter) between the
circuit breaker and the power supply inlet to the equipment. Use the
cable clamp existing at the back of the machine to introduce the
power cord and, once the cables have been connected to the terminal
board following the sequence shown on the same, stop the cable by
the plastic nut.
Caution!
These appliances are equipped with electronic control devices like
a control card and an inverter. To be CE type-approved, such
devices must include noise filters complying with EMC standards
on eddy current emission. To operate properly, these filters leak a
small current of approximately 10-15mA through the earth lead.
Therefore every machine must be fitted with its own systemprotecting residual current cutoff switch (RCD). Avoid connecting
more than one appliance, whatever their capacity or brand,
downstream of a single RCD.
THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER DAMAGE CAUSED
BY INCORRECT INSTALLATION.
3. REQUIREMENTS FOR INSTALLATION

4. HANDLING, UNPACKING AND STORING
4.1 SHIPPING AND HANDLING
To handle and/or ship the machine follow carefully the ensuing
recommendations:
Move the machine on its own pallet or on a similar platform; use a
fork lift, either manual or electric, provided it is adequate for
handling such appliances and it has the requisite lifting capacity
(cfr. technical data). Check beforehand that the equipment can
surmount any existing obstacle, like staircases, doors, etc. Do not
drag the machine by the sides or by any other part.
For shipping purposes, use only the original packaging, which
helps ensure sufficient stability during transportation.
4.2 STORING
If the equipment must be stored for a long period of time before
being put into operation, keep it inside the original package, since
this guarantees excellent protection. Also ensure that the
environmental conditions in the storehouse meet those indicated in
the next paragraphs. On the other hand, if the machine must be left
inoperative for a long period after use, be sure it is materially
disconnected from the electric supply and cover it the original
protection bag.
4.3 UNPACKING
1) Prior to accepting the machine from the carrier, check the
conditions of the packaging. If it is showing visible damage, the
machine may have been damaged too. In this case, unpack the
machine in the presence of the carrier and sign, under
reservation, the delivery slip. The manufacturer undertakes no
liability for any damage caused by transportation or improper
storage.
2) Unpack the machine with the utmost care to avoid damage. To
remove the platform, take off the screws from the inside of the

BEFORE MACHINE STARTUP.
4) For all ironers in the ranges with diam. 18cm, 25cm and 30cm,
install the linen-rest wood board on the respective supports
using the grub-screws and bolts as in the sticker appearing on
the roller. The head of the screw and the longer side of the board
must face upwards.
5) The packaging material (plastic bags, expanded polystyrene,
wood, cardboard, nails, etc.) represent a safety hazard and
consequently must not be left within the reach of children.
Collect and keep for further transportation or long-term storage.
Before connecting up the appliance, check that the rating plate
details match those of the existing electric line. The appliance
must only ever be used for the purposes it was explicitly
designed for.
6) For tumble dryers: check that the steam electrical valve* is in
the drum.
7) Ensure that the instruction booklet is not left in the package and
lost.
(*Steam-heated machines only).
Before connecting up the appliance, check that the rating plate
details match those of the electric line the equipment is going to be
connected to. The appliance must only ever be used for the purposes
it was explicitly designed for.
4.4 GETTING THE APPLIANCE STARTED
4.4.1 LAYOUT REQUIREMENTS
This equipment offers no positioning difficulty other than a flat,
3
level and sturdy surface. Align and level by the use of a spirit level.
For servicing purposes, it is advisable to leave a 500mm clearance
between the rear face of the machine and the wall behind.
Besides, when machines are installed in a line, leaving at least a
20mm clearance between one machine and the next is recommended.
Washing machines
Provide for a floor drain at an elevation below the machine drain,
that can be connected to the washing machine, using the supplied
elbow fitting.
CAUTION! Repeat levelling after moving the machine.
bar (0.1 MPa and 0.6 MPa).
Refer to the rating plate details.
4.7.1 FOR ALL WASHER VERSIONS
The water in the tub can be heated either directly or indirectly. In
the latter instance, a connection for the recovery of condensed water
will have to be provided for (diameter as per technical details).
If the machine is subject to ISPESL inspection, keep all ISPESL
documents in the room where the washer is lodged.
When the connection is done make sure that the piping is not
crushed or blocked.
4.4.2 ALLOWABLE AMBIENT CONDITIONS FOR PROPER
SERVICE
Let these conditions be known to direct machine users.
-TYPE OF ROOM: CLOSED
-MINIMUM TEMPERATURE: 10°C (note: when ambient
temperature is below 10°C, electronic parts may work
irregularly)
-MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE: 40°C
-RELATIVE HUMIDITY: 75% H.R.
-LIGHTING: 100 LUX (value valid for Italy; given the variety
of regulations regarding luminance in working premises, for
other national provisions, refer to the specific national codes).
4.5 FOR ALL HIGH-SPEED WASHER MODELS AND
VERSIONS: TILT SWITCH ADJUSTMENT
All high-speed washers are equipped with a device that terminates
spinning steps when severe imbalance poses a threat to the
mechanical parts composing the machine.
To reach this safety device open the machine's top cover (cfr.
relevant instructions in the manual section For the repair personnel).
This device is at the topmost point of the tub. Adjust this switch only
after the wall cutoff switch was turned off and the machine was
disconnected from the power mains.
Adjustment of this switch is reserved for the authorised and
qualified personnel.
This device consists of a microswitch that is fixed to the machine's
frame. It is is driven by a flexible rod located inside a metal window
that moves integral with the drum of the washer. When severe
vibrations occur, the window moves the rod and the safety device
trips (cfr. also alarm "E9" and alarm description).
During machine installation, after removing the transportation
brackets and with the drum empty, position the flexible rod at the
centre of the window, so that abnormal tripping of this safety device
is avoided.
For proper positioning, use the screws that fasten the support of the
microswitch and position this properly.
4.6 FOR ALL HIGH-SPEED WASHER MODELS AND
VERSIONS: WATER CONNECTION
Washers feature a warm water inlet (for approximately 60°C) and
two cold water inlets (cold and soft), ¾" and ½" in diameter (see
rating plate details for the specific model).
The incoming water pressure must be comprised between 0.5 and
5 bar (0.05 Mpa and 0.5 MPa).
Make arrangements for the distance from wall couplings not to
exceed the length of the piping attached.
If a warm water source is not available, mount a T pipe on the soft
cold water coupling and connect the warm water inlet too to the
cold-water source. As for cold and warm water consumption, refer
to the rating plate details for the specific model.
All machine water inlets must be fed water.
CAUTION! When assembly is complete, ensure that the piping is
not crushed and that water flows normally.
4.8 DRAIN CONNECTION
Make certain that the distance between the machine drain outlet
and the floor drain is not longer than the drain elbow supplied.
Water is drained through a direct-action motor-driven valve that
stays open (by gravity - no pump) when the machine is not powered.
Therefore, the floor drain must always be below the drain outlet of
the machine. The diameter of the floor drain must never be smaller
than the diameter of the hose supplied.
Drain flow rate and diameter: refer to the rating plate data for the
specific model.
CAUTION!
- The draining pipe must be able to resist a temperature of 90°C.
- Install a U-trap between the hose supplied and the drain.
- Check that the piping is not crushed or blocked.
4.9 AIR BREAK
The washing machine is equipped with an air-break device that
stops wastewater from flowing back into the drinkable water system
in the event of a depression. This device has a rear or side outlet that
may release innocuous steam during heating. Do not close or couple
the air-break outlet.
THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER DAMAGE CAUSED
BY INCORRECT INSTALLATION.

5.3 COMPLETE APPLICATION RANGE
Your washing machine was designed to wash synthetics, woolens,
cottons and linens. Choose your cycle by the appropriate button as
suggested on the labels attached to the garments to be washed.
5.4 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DETAILS
The built-in electrical system is composed of protection and control
devices duly lodged on a plate in the top part of the machine. The
relevant diagrams and lists appear later on in this manual.
6. WASHER OPERATION
Make sure that the cold water, warm water and steam taps are open
(the latter applies only to steam-heated machines).
Turn ON the automatic overcurrent circuit breaker on the wall. If
the door is closed, the machine will then be ready to be started using
the appropriate button (START/STOP) on the front panel.
To select and start a cycle and also to program optional functions,
refer to the block diagrams later on in this manual.
Make your cycle selection following the temperature and wash
action suggested in the labels attached to the garments (see cycle
description below), sort the laundry according to the type of fabric,
load the drum and close the door.
Then fill the various dispenser bins with soap (foam-damping type)
according to cycle selection, i.e.:
A prewash compartment (when scheduled in the selected wash
cycle)
B main wash compartment
C compartment for optional conditioning agent (when scheduled
in the selected wash cycle)
D compartment for optional conditioning agent (when scheduled
in the selected wash cycle)
E compartment for optional conditioning agent (when scheduled

ECONOMY FUNCTION WARNING:
This function simply reduces the amount of water and soap used
with reference to factory-foreseen amounts. NOT to be interpreted
as "half-load button".
To start the cycle, press the START / STOP push button with the
door closed: The door will automatically be locked. Cycle progress
will be shown on the control panel display unit.
Pressure on the START / STOP button also causes the timer to
commence the countdown to the end of the cycle.
Such time values are those that the machine has stored in a previous
equivalent cycles. Therefore they are not binding but represent a
mere reference.
6.1 FAST-FORWARDING AND END OF CYCLE
When a wash cycle is in progress, each pulse on the START / STOP
causes the cycle to move one step forward. If the same button is held
down for more than 5 seconds, the cycle will move straight to the
end, which will consequently cause the door to unlock.
Each time a button is pressed the machine beeps briefly. It beeps for
15 seconds at the end of the cycle.
It is however possible to stop the beeper by pressing the " - " push
button or even inhibit the beeper altogether through programming.
6.2 ALARM AND FAULT SIGNALING
When faults arise (voltage drop, supertemperature, water level
error in the drum) the equipment notifies the user by a number of
alarms that appear on the front panel DISPLAY. All alarm details
are dealt with in the "SAFETY MEASURES" chapter.
6.3 CYCLE STEPS
The control display reads the various steps, i.e.:
1) WEIGHING - The machine weighs the laundry. Weighing can
be automatic (standard) or manual. This step can only be
performed at the beginning of the cycle.
5) RINSE - This message is read when the machine is performing
any rinsing step in the cycle.
6) SPIN - Final or intermediate spin underway
7) DISTRIBUTION - Distribution step underway
At any rate, every step is read along with a description explains the
relevant details.
When the end of the cycle is reached, the door is automatically
unlocked: then it will be possible to open the door using the handle
and pick the clean laundry.
CAUTION! Never force the door open. Open by hand only after it
has been unlocked.
At any rate, before opening the door make sure that the drum has
stopped, the water has been drained and the temperature inside the
drum is below 40°C .
Should a potential drop occur during the wash cycle, it will be
possible to open the door after about 90 sec.; in case of emergency
or defect of the door-opening device, to open the door jerk the
manual puller downwards (see fig. 2).
To reach the manual puller it is necessary to unscrew the two fixing
screws with a cross-bit screwdriver and withdraw the machine's
lower front panel. After the door has been unlocked manually, open
it using the handle as explained above and then put the panel back
in place.
6.4 CONFIGURATION OF SETTINGS
Besides the "START/STOP" and the "ECO" push-buttons, the
machine has 4 more buttons for cycle selection and special functions.
More precisely, with the door closed and before starting a cycle, the
programming mode can be entered by pressing the "MODE" pushbutton.
For further details cfr. the block-diagram attached.
WARNING: if a potential drop should occur during a programming
session, changes will not be saved and it will be necessary to repeat
the programming procedure from the beginning.
6.5 PROGRAMMIMG BY PC - OPTIONAL
Washers can also be programmed via PC through a serial port. To
this purpose the washers feature an ad-hoc RS232 serial port at the
rear (OPTIONAL).
To enable the "data transmission and reading" mode it will be
necessary to switch the washer on while holding down the "MODE"
key: the displays will read "HOST COMPUTER" only.
For further details, contact your seller or the after-sales service.
CAUTION!
Do not try to read or change machine programming, unless you
have the ad-hoc cable supplied by the manufacturer, as this could
cause severe damage to the electronic boards.
If you wish to change machine programming, contact your seller or
the after-sales service.
6.6 PROGRAMMIMG BY SMART CARD
Washers can also be programmed using a SMART CARD. As a
matter of fact, the Smart Card reader featured as standard can save
or load the machine-control firmware.
Wash cycles can only be saved and loaded (as preset) when the
machine is on, no cycle is in progress and the door is open. On
inserting the Smart Card the G400 control identifies the card:
a) Invalid card: the display will read "invalid card": remove the
card. As soon as it is removed the machine will resume
standard readings.
CYCLE SELECTION, VIEW AND START
b) Firmware card: the display will read "software card" and will
allow no action other than removing the card.
c) Correct card: the display will read "cycles card" and will offer
the user two graphic options: download the programs to the
G400 or upload them to the Smart Card. Make your selection
using the "+" and " - " keys and confirm by the key "! :
ENTER".

To save and load the firmware, insert the Smart Card when the
machine is off. When the machine is then turned on the system will
react by showing the following messages:
a) Invalid card: the display will read "invalid card": remove the
card. As soon as it is removed the machine will resume
standard readings. At this stage also the cycles card will be
considered invalid.
b) Correct card: the display will read "software card" and will
graphically inform the user that the firmware is being transferred
from the Smart Card to the G400 (firmware upgrade): Loading
the firmware from the G4 controller to the Smart Card is not
possible.
If a software card is inserted when the machine is on, the G400
control will start the card identification routine and will allow no
further action.
CAUTION!
Do not attempt to read or program the machine using SMART
CARDS other than the original one (ATM cards, credit cards, other
service cards etc.) as they will be irretrievably damaged. The
manufacturer undertakes no liability for incorrect or improper use
of the Smart Card reader on the machine.
If you need to change machine programming by this system,
contact your seller or the after-sales service.
6.7 USEFUL ADVICE
Remember that loading 80% of the rated capacity provides better
wash results.
Mind that more soap does not mean cleaner: on the contrary, using
too much washing agents leads only to unnecessary pollution. The
right amount of soap is indicated by the manufacturer according to
the hardness of the water used.
Unless specifically advised against, the use of the reduced water
and temperature cycles is warmly recommended, in order to cut
back water and energy consumption and consequently reduce cycle
length.
Before loading the drum make sure that buttons, zips, clasps and
buckles are facing inside Check that the pockets are empty.
At the end of a working day do the following:
- leave the door open;
- turn the machine off by the master switch;
- close the warm water, cold water and steam taps (the latter applies
to steam-heated machines only);
- turn the wall circuit breaker off.
6.8 THE WEIGHING FUNCTION
The washing machine is fitted with a special function that informs
the user how many kilos of laundry he/she has loaded onto the
drum. When this value is available, the machine proportions the
amount of water and detergents to the real load and not to a the
standard theoretical full-load value.
The weighing function is fully automatic: all the user has to do is
load the drum, select the desired program, close the door and push
the "START / STOP" button.
To change the weighting function from automatic to manual it is
necessary to alter the settings using a PC connection and the ad-hoc
software. Contact the technical after-sales service for further
details.
CAUTION! When the machine performs the weighing function
automatically, the weight value read NEVER appears on the
display. This occurs only when the weighing function is manual.
6.9 WASH PROGRAMS
Cycle steps are detailed in the user-friendly tables attached.
Generally speaking, the first 9 cycles feature automatic weighing,
cycle 10 rinses and spins only, and the last 9 cycles are clones of the
first nine cycles except for the weighing function, which is
DISABLED. Cycle 20 is empty (customizable). At any rate, ALL
cycles can be customized using a PC and the ad-hoc software.
Contact the technical after-sales service for further details.
CAUTION!
If the machine has been programmed via PC or optional functions
have been enabled, the cycle tables provided below do not apply.
The manufacturer reserves the right to change cycle the features or
the machine's
6.10 ADVICE
Do not leave the machine on to no purpose. TURN the master switch
OFF when the machine is not being used.
During use:
- Only open the door after the drum has come to a complete stop and
it has been drained.
- In case of a potential drop during a washing cycle, the door may
be opened after about 90 sec. In case of emergency or defect of the
door opening device, it is possible to open the door by jerking the
manual puller downwards (see fig.1). Before opening the door make
sure that the drum has come to a complete stop, that the water has
been drained and that the temperature is below 40°C.
- Before any maintenance or cleaning operation, check that the wall
circuit breaker is off and the warm water, cold water and steam taps
are closed (the latter applies to steam-heated machines only).
- Do not machine-wash fabrics that have been cleaned, dampened,
washed or stain-removed with inflammable or explosive substances.
Otherwise, hand-wash them first.
- Keep inflammable liquids far from the washing machine, in a dry
and ventilated spot, out of the reach of outsiders.
- Keep cleaning products and washing powder far from the
equipment. If possible, keep them closed in a cabinet.
- Do not hamper air inlets or heat-exchanging openings. Keep an
appropriate distance between the machine and the walls or other
objects.
7. SAFETY PROCEDURES
During operation, the machine monitors working conditions and,
in case of malfunction, displays the relevant alarm signals.
Such signals will flash on the display.
When alarms arise, some of them can be removed by switching the
machine off and then on again. These removable alarms also cause
the door to be unlocked, although 90 seconds after the alarm occurs.
To remove the alarm signal from the display unit, either switch the
machine off and then on again (to disconnect and reconnect the
card) or wait for 5 minutes: the alarm will be called off automatically
(see the specific alarm management section).
Of course, if the cause for the alarm persists, the alarm signal will
be there again even after switching the machine back on or after the
automatic reset caused by program restart (the user must press the
START/STOP push button).
7.1 PARTICULAR FEATURES OF THE "MOTOR
FAILURE" ALARM
For some alarm types involving the inverter / motor, reset may occur
automatically.
Then when an inverter alarm arises, the motor goes to idle for 90
seconds (8kg model), 120 seconds (11kg model), or 150 seconds
(18kg model). The inverter too stays "idle" during that time.
After the time indicated the machine resumes operation from the
step right after the one in which the alarm occurred.
This procedure can be repeated for 5 times maximum. Then the
program is aborted and the door is unlocked after a further 150 sec
safety time.
The alarm will stay on in the display for 300 secs. Then the machine
will reset automatically, and will be ready and waiting for a new
start to be given.
The buzzer only trips when the program is interrupted. The only
notice given all through the attempts at finishing the programmed
step is the alarm signal on the display.
