Installation
EN
! This instruction manual should be kept in a
safe place for future reference. If the washing
machine is sold, given away or moved, please
ensure the manual is kept with the machine,
so that the new owner may benefit from the
advice contained within it.
! Read these instructions carefully: they
contain vital information relating to the safe
installation and operation of the appliance.
! Inside the pack containing this manual, you
will also find the guarantee and all the details
necessary for installation.
Unpacking and levelling
Unpacking
1. Once you have removed all the packaging
from the washing machine, make sure it has not
been damaged during transportation. If it has
been damaged, contact the retailer and do not
proceed any further with the installation process.
2. Remove the 4
protective screws
(used during
transportation) and
the corresponding
spacer, located on
the rear part of the
appliance (see figure).
3. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs
supplied in the pack.
4. Keep all the parts in a safe place; they will
be needed again if the washing machine is
moved to another location, to prevent the
inside of the appliance being damaged.
! Packaging materials should not be used as
toys for children.
Levelling
1. Place the washing machine on a flat sturdy
floor, without resting it up against walls or
cabinets.
2. If the floor is
uneven, the front feet
of the machine may
be adjusted until it
reaches a horizontal
position (the angle of
inclination must not
exceed 2 degrees).
! If the appliance is levelled correctly, it will
be more stable and much less likely to cause
vibrations and noise while it is operating,
particularly during the spin cycle.
! If it is placed on carpet or a rug, adjust the
feet in such a way as to allow a sufficient
ventilation space underneath the washing
machine.
Connecting the electricity and
water supplies
Connecting the water inlet hose
! Before connecting the inlet hose to the water
supply, run the water until it is perfectly clear.
1. Connect the inlet
hose to the machine
by screwing it onto
the cold water inlet of
the appliance, which
is situated on the top
right-hand side of
the rear part of the
appliance (see figure).
2. Connect the inlet
hose by screwing it to
a cold water tap using
a 3/4 gas threaded
connection (see figure).
3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over
or bent.
! The water pressure at the tap must fall within
the values indicated in the Technical data table
(see next page).
! If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a
specialised shop or an authorised technician.
! Never use second-hand or old inlet hoses;
use the products supplied with the machine.
2
Connecting the drain hose
65 - 100 cm
Connect the drain
hose to drain duct
piping or a wall drain
located between 65
and 100 cm above
the floor, making sure
it is not bent at all.
Alternatively, rest the
drain hose on the
side of a washbasin
or bathtub, fastening
the duct supplied to
the tap (see figure).
The free end of the
hose should not be
underwater.
! We advise against the use of hose extensions;
if it is absolutely necessary, the extension must
have the same diameter as the original hose
and must not exceed 150 cm in length.
Electrical connections
Before plugging the appliance into the
electricity socket, make sure that:
• the socket is earthed and complies with all
applicable laws;
• the socket is able to withstand the maximum
power load of the appliance as indicated in
the Technical data table (see opposite);
• the power supply voltage falls within the
values indicated in the Technical data table
(see opposite);
• the socket is compatible with the plug of the
appliance. If this is not the case, have the
socket or the plug replaced.
! Do not use extension cords or multiple
sockets.
! The cable should not be bent or compressed.
! The power supply cable and plug must only
be replaced by authorised technicians.
Warning! The company shall not be held
responsible in the event that these regulations
are not respected.

EN
Cutting off the water and
electricity supplies
• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle.
This will limit wear on the hydraulic system in
the machine and help to prevent leaks.
• Unplug the appliance when cleaning it and
during all maintenance work.
Cleaning the machine
The outer parts and rubber components of the
appliance can be cleaned using a soft cloth
soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use
solvents or abrasives.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
drawer
To remove the drawer,
press lever (1) and pull
the drawer outwards (2)
(see figure).
Wash it under running
water; this procedure
should be repeated
frequently.
Caring for your appliance drum
To access the pre-chamber:
1. take off the cover panel on the front of the
machine by first pressing it in the centre and
then pushing downwards on both sides until
you can remove it (see figures);
2. position a container
so that it will collect the
water which flows out
(approximately 1.5 l)
(seefigure);
3. unscrew the lid by
rotating it in an anticlockwise direction (seefigure);
4. clean the inside thoroughly;
5. screw the lid back on;
6. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks
are securely in place before you push it onto
the appliance.
• Always leave the door ajar to prevent
unpleasant odours from forming.
Cleaning the pump
The washing machine is fitted with a selfcleaning pump which does not require any
maintenance. Sometimes, small items (such
as coins or buttons) may fall into the protective
pre-chamber at the base of the pump.
! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and
unplug the appliance.
4
Checking the water inlet hose
Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If
there are any cracks, it should be replaced
immediately: during the wash cycles, water
pressure is very strong and a cracked hose
could easily split open.
Precautions and tips
! The machine was designed and constructed in
accordance with international safety regulations. The
following information is provided for safety reasons and
must therefore be read carefully.
General safety
• This appliance was designed for domestic use only.
• This appliance can be used by children
aged from 8 years and above and
persons with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities or lack of experience
and knowledge if they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of
the appliance in a safe way and understand
the hazards involved. Children shall not
play with the appliance. Cleaning and user
maintenance shall not be made by children
without supervision.
• Do not touch the machine when barefoot or with wet or
damp hands or feet.
• Do not pull on the power supply cable when unplugging
the appliance from the electricity socket. Hold the plug
and pull.
• Do not touch the drained water as it may reach
extremely high temperatures.
• Never force the porthole door. This could damage the
safety lock mechanism designed to prevent accidental
opening.
• If the appliance breaks down, do not under any
circumstances access the internal mechanisms in an
attempt to repair it yourself.
• Always keep children well away from the appliance while
it is operating.
• If it must be moved, proceed with the help of two or
three people and handle it with the utmost care. Never
try to do this alone, because the appliance is very heavy.
• Before loading laundry into the washing machine, make
sure the drum is empty.
inside the machine, while preventing potential damage
to the atmosphere and to public health.
The crossed-out dustbin is marked on all products
to remind the owner of their obligations regarding
separated waste collection.
For more information relating to the correct disposal of
household appliances, owners should contact their local
authorities or appliance dealer.
Opening the porthole door manually
In the event that it is not possible to open the porthole door
due to a powercut, and if you wish to remove the laundry,
proceed as follows:
1. remove the plug from the
electrical socket.
2. make sure the water level
inside the machine is lower
than the door opening; if
it is not, remove excess
water using the drain hose,
collecting it in a bucket as
indicated in the figure.
3. remove the cover panel on the lower front part of the
washing machine (see overleaf).
4. pull outwards using the
tab as indicated in the figure,
until the plastic tie-rod is freed
from its stop position; pull
downwards until you hear a
“click”, which indicates that
the door is now unlocked.
EN
Load balancing system
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations
before every spin and to distribute the load in a uniform
manner, the drum rotates continuously at a speed which
is slightly greater than the washing rotation speed. If,
after several attempts, the load is not balanced correctly,
the machine spins at a reduced spin speed. If the load is
excessively unbalanced, the washing machine performs
the distribution process instead of spinning. To encourage
improved load distribution and balance, we recommend
small and large garments are mixed in the load.
Disposal
• Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local
regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.
• The European Directive 2012/19/EU relating to Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states
that household appliances should not be disposed of
using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted
appliances should be collected separately in order to
optimise the cost of re-using and recycling the materials
5. open the door; if this is
still not possible repeat the
procedure.
6. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely
in place before you push it onto the appliance.
