The earth connection is essential for user safety as
it eliminates the risk of electrical discharge.
• Power sockets should be in easily accessible places so that
the washing machine can be unplugged in case of any
problems.
• If the electric cable is damaged replace with an original set
(cable and plug) supplied by the manufacturer or official
after-sales service.
The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any
damage to people or things resulting from the failure to
comply with the appliance’s installation and safety
regulations.

results and at the same time save you time and money.
Once a programme has been selected, the machine
depending on the wash load and type of fabric:
- quantity of water and power consumption
- wash time
- rinse efficiency
The washing machine also:
- detects suds and increases the amount of rinse water if necessary
- adjusts spin speed according to load distribution, thus forestalling any imbalance in the
mechanism.
optimises the following elements

activated in Cottons, Mixed, Synthetics, Delicates, Rinse, Sportswear and AA40 programmes.
• SUPER FAST KEY
When this key is engaged programme times are cut by as much as 50 minutes, depending on the
wash programme and temperature selected. The key can be activated only in Cottons, Synthetics
and Mixed programmes.
• EASY IRON KEY
This function helps reduce creasing, depending on the programme selected and the type of fabric
washed. This works as follows:
Synthetics. Intermediate spins during rinses are eliminated.
Delicates. Intermediate spins during rinses are eliminated and the machine stops before the
final spin, which is a gentle spin.
Woollens. Intermediate spins during rinses are eliminated and the machine stops before the
final spin.
Mix&Wash and Hand wash. The machine stops before the final spin.
Rinses. Intermediate spins during rinses are eliminated.
To complete the wash cycle in the Delicates, Woollens, Mix&Wash and Hand wash programmes,
press the Easy Iron key again: the machine will empty and perform the required spin.
To empty machine of water with no spin, cancel the ongoing programme and select the Empty
programme.

V. TIME REMAINING TO END OF CYCLE OR PROGRAMME PHASE DISPLAY
Models with this feature display the APPROXIMATE time
remaining to the end of the programme in minutes, or the current
wash phase of the programme set. The programme times may
vary depending on the temperature selected, ambient
temperature, mains water pressure, the quantity and type of
washing.
G. «DOOR LOCK» LAMP (when fitted)
The door lamp flashes when a wash programme starts, and then burns steadily. From that moment
on the door is locked (DOOR LOCK).
The DOOR LOCK lamp remains on during the whole wash cycle, thus preventing the door from
opening.
At the end of the wash cycle, the safety devices are deactivated, the light goes out and the door
can then be opened.
• END OF PROGRAMME

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE OF THE MACHINE
Do not use abrasives, spirits or solvents when cleaning the exterior of the washing machine. It is
sufficient to use a damp cloth.
The washing machine requires very little maintenance.
• Drying the rubber seal of the drum.
• Cleaning the dispenser and its compartments.
• Cleaning the filter.
• Cleaning prior to removals or when the machine is to stand idle for long periods.
To help conserve the washing machine, dry the rubber seal and leave the
door open when the cycle ends.
CLEANING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER AND ITS COMPARTMENTS
• It is advisable to clean the four compartments of the detergent
dispenser (pre-wash, wash, bleach and fabric conditioner) from
time to time. To do this, remove the detergent dispenser from
its slot.
• In the case of the pre-wash (I) and wash (II) compartments,
it is advisable to remove any dried-in remains of detergent which
obstruct the flow of the detergent to the drum.
I
II
• In the case of the bleach and fabric conditioner compartments,
the two traps (M) located at the rear part of the dispenser should
be removed by pulling them out.
Remove any solid residue which could block the holes in the
compartments.
• Put everything back into place.
CLEANING THE FILTER
The washing machine comes with a special filter, located behind the machine’s front plinth panel,
that collects larger objects (coins, buttons, etc.) which could even block the pump.
It is advisable to clean the filter whenever the machine fails to rinse the clothes as well as
it should or when it fails to drain properly.
14
When it is necessary to clean the filter, proceed as follows:
• Use a basin to collect the water coming out.
• Move the wheel trolley lever to a central position in the front
of the washing machine in order to remove the filter door more
easily.
• Press the two catches on the plinth panel to remove the filter
cover.
A
A) Slip your hand through the slot at the bottom, incline slightly

Washing hints
Hints on the most economical, most environmentally friendly way to use your washing machine.
HINTS ON USING YOUR WASHING MACHINE
Wait until you have a full load before using the machine: this will avoid the use of more water and
power than necessary.
We recommend using the full load capacity: this could save you up to 50% in power consumption.
Wash a single full load rather than two light loads.
WHEN IS PRE-WASHING NECESSARY?
Only when washing heavily soiled clothes.
With clothes that are not especially dirty, you can save between 5 and 15% by not using this
option.
WHAT WASH TEMPERATURE SHOULD I USE?
Applying a stain remover before placing clothes in the machine will eliminate the need for wash
temperatures of more than 60 ºC.
When loading a wash into the drum, we recommend that you:
• For specially delicate garments we recommend the use of a protective net.
• Empty all pockets and ensure that they do not contain metal objects (paperclips, safety pins,
pins, coins,etc.).
• Fasten pillow slips, close all zips and fastenings, and tie any loose ribbons or belts from dresses.
• Remove all runners (metal and plastic) from curtains and net curtains. We recommend that the
ribbon be gathered into a ball and tied with its own cord.
• Unfold all items to be washed.
• Be careful not to exceed the recommended load for each programme.
• When washing rugs, bedspreads and other highly absorbent items, cancel the spin option.
• In order to be able to wash woollens in the washing machine they must carry the «Pure New
Wool» symbol as well as the information «does not become matted» or «machine washable».
• If possible, do not wash only towels. Mix them with your regular washing.
• Ensure that no item becomes trapped between the drum doors.
LABEL SYMBOLS
Labels are usually sown into the collar or side seams. The symbols which appear on them indicate
the following:
• Maximum WASH temperature.
• Appropriate and inappropriate washing methods.
• Appropriate and inappropriate washing products.
17
The symbols are as follows:
WASH
Washing instructions always appear as a basin with different indications:
• Do not wash.
• Can be washed both by hand or in the washing machine. The figures in the basin
indicate the maximum wash temperature.
• Hand wash only.
When the hand is half submerged in the water, this means that the item should be
tumbled only gently during washing. If it is fully submerged in the water, this means that
the garment should only be washed by hand.
• The line under the basin means that the item should be washed on a gentle cycle.
• Do not spin.
BLEACH
Bleach is widely used to whiten fabrics, although in some cases it can cause irreparable damage.
There are various symbols which refer to its use.
• Bleach can be used.
• Do not use bleach.
