Installation
! This instruction manual should be kept in a safe place EN 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 righthand 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.
! Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.
EN
!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.
! 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.
!The appliace must only be installed indoor in a frost free and dry room, to prevent it from electronic damage due to frost or condensation.
!The mains socket must remain within easy reach after the washing machine has been installed.

Detergents and laundry
EN |
Detergent |
|
The type and quantity of detergent required depend on |
|
the type of fabric you are washing (cotton, wool, silk, |
|
etc.), as well as its colour, the washing temperature, the |
|
level of soiling and the hardness of the water in the area. |
|
Measuring out the detergent carefully will avoid wastage |
|
and help to protect the environment: although they are |
|
biodegradable, detergents still contain ingredients which |
|
alter the balance of nature. |
|
We recommend the following: |
|
• use powder detergents for white cotton garments and |
|
pre-washing. |
|
• use liquid detergents for delicate cotton garments and |
|
for all low-temperature wash cycles. |
|
• use gentle liquid detergents for wool and silk |
|
garments. |
|
The detergent should be poured into the relevant |
|
compartment - or the dispenser placed directly inside the |
|
drum - before the wash cycle begins. In the latter case, it |
|
will not be possible to select the Cottons with pre-wash |
|
cycle. |
|
! Do not use hand washing detergents because these |
|
create too much foam. |
Preparing the laundry
•Shake out the garments before loading them into the machine.
•Divide the laundry according fabric type (symbol on the washing instruction label) and colour, making sure you separate the coloured garments from the white ones;
•Empty all pockets and check the buttons;
•Do not exceed the values listed in the “Table of wash cycles”, which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry.
How much does your laundry weigh?
1 sheet |
400-500 g |
1 pillowcase |
150-200 g |
1 tablecloth |
400-500 g |
1 bathrobe |
900-1200 g |
1 towel |
150-250 g |
1 pair of jeans |

Washing recommendations
Whites: use this cycle to wash white clothes. The programme is designed to maintain the brightness of white clothes over time.
Coloureds: use this cycle to wash bright coloured clothes. The programme is designed to maintain bright colours over time.
Darks: Use programme to wash dark-coloured garments. This programme is designed to maintain dark colours over time. We recommend using a liquid detergent for the best results when washing darkcoloured garments.
Shirts: use the special wash cycle to wash shirts in different fabrics and colours to guarantee they receive the best possible care.
Duvets: to wash double or single duvets (the weight of which should not exceed 3,5 kg), cushions or clothes padded with goose down such as puffa jackets, use the special wash cycle. We recommend that duvets are placed in the drum with their edges folded inwards (see figure) and that no more than ¾ of the total volume of the drum is used. To achieve the best results, we recommend that a liquid detergent is used and placed inside the detergent dispenser drawer.
Quilts: to wash quilts with a synthetic outer layer, use the bag provided and set the wash cycle to .
Bedlinen and towels: use programme to wash bed linen and towels in one single cycle: it optimises softener performance and helps you save time and energy. We recommend the use of powder detergent.
Anti allergy: use programme to remove major allergens such as pollen, mites, cat’s and dog’s hair. Ultradelicates: use programme
to wash very delicate garments having strasses or sequins.
We recommend turning the garments inside out before washing and placing small items into the special bag for washing delicates. Use liquid detergent on delicate garments for best results.
To wash Silk garments and Curtains (these should be folded and placed inside the bag provided), select cycle and then option
; the machine will end the cycle while the laundry is soaking and the
indicator light will flash. To drain the water so that the laundry may be removed, press the START/PAUSE button or the
button. Wool: this is the only washing machine brand to have been awarded the prestigious Woolmark Apparel Care
- Platinum endorsement (M1135) by The Woolmark Company. The “Wool” wash cycle can be used to wash up to 2,5 kg of all washable wool garments in the washing machine while guaranteeing optimum performance. This means that all washable wool
garments may be washed in the washing machine, even those which state “hand wash only” on the label when washed in accordance with the instructions for the wool cycle.
Stubborn stains: it is wise to treat stubborn stains with solid soap before washing, and to use the Cottons with pre-wash cycle.

•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.
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 2002/96/EC 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 EN appliances should be collected separately in order to
optimise the cost of re-using and recycling the materials 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.
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.

Care and maintenance
|
Cutting off the water and electricity |
|
EN |
||
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. |

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.
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) (see figure);
3. unscrew the lid by rotating it in an anti-clockwise direction (see figure);
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.
Caring for your appliance drum
•Always leave the door ajar to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.
Cleaning the pump
The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning 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.
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.
10
Trouble shooting
Your washing machine could occasionally fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre (see “Assistance”), |
EN |
make sure that the problem cannot be not solved easily using the following list. |
