Installation
Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for
GB
future reference. If the appliance is sold, given away
or moved, please ensure the manual remains with the
machine so that the new owner may benefit from the
advice contained within it.
Please read this instruction manual carefully it
contains important information regarding the safe
installation, use and maintenance of the appliance.
You will find the guarantee and other details relating to
the installation process in the bag containing this booklet.
Unpacking and levelling
Unpacking
1. Once the washing machine has been removed
from the packaging, check that 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 transit
bolts used during
transportation and the
corresponding spacers
on the back of the
machine (see figure).
Levelling
1. Position the washing machine on a level and sturdy
floor, without resting it against walls or cabinets.
2. If the floor is uneven,
the feet of the appliance
may be adjusted until it
reaches a perfectly
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 during the spin cycle.
If positioned on a fitted carpet or a rug, adjust the
feet in such a way as to allow room for air to circulate
and provide ventilation beneath the washing machine.
Connecting the cold water and
electricity supplies
Connecting the water inlet hose
Before connecting the inlet hose to the cold water supply,
allow the water to flow from the tap until it runs clear.
3. Having removed the 4 bolts use the 4 plastic
blanking plates to cover the 4 holes.
4. Keep all the pieces; if the washing machine is
transported in future, the transit bolts and spacers will
have to be replaced in order to avoid damaging the
inside of the machine.
Unlocking the chest
To remove the bracket that locks the chest in place and
supports the tub during transportation, remove the
"central" screws, then hold it firmly as you push it
backwards and take it out; loosen the 4 "side" screws
and remove the metal strip.
After you have completed this process fit the plastic toekick supplied (in the "chest"), making sure that the
hooks have been positioned in the holes provided before
pushing it towards the machine.
For more detailed information please refer to the
guidelines provided inside the "chest".
Packaging materials should not be used as toys by
children.
1. Connect the inlet hose
to the machine, by
screwing it into the cold
water inlet on the upper
right hand side of the
back of the machine (see
figure).
2. Place the seal A
(provided in the bag) on
the end of the inlet hose
and screw it to a cold

water tap with a 3/4 BSP
threaded connection (see
figure).
The water pressure at the tap must fall within the values
indicated in the Technical data table (see next page).
2
If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact a
specialist store or an authorised technician.
Always use the new water inlet hoses supplied with
the machine.
Drainage Connection
The machine must not be installed outdoors, even in
covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the
appliance exposed to rain, storms and other weather
conditions.
Once the machine has been installed, the electricity
socket should be easily accessible.
GB
Connect the outlet hose
to a draining duct or a
stand pipe at a height
between 65 and 100 cm
from the floor. Do not
65 - 100 cm
bend it under any
circumstances.
Alternatively, place the
end of the hose over the
edge of a washbasin or
tub, fastening the hose
supplied to the tap (see
figure).
The free end of the hose
should not remain
immersed in water.
We advise against the use of hose extensions; if
absolutely necessary, the length of the extension
must not exceed 150 cm and its diameter must be
the same as the original hose.
Electrical connection
Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket,
make sure that:
the socket is earthed and complies with current
regulations;
the socket can withstand the maximum load of the
appliance, which is 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, either the socket
or the plug must be replaced.
Do not use extension cables or multiple sockets.
The cable should not be bent or compressed.
The cable should be replaced only by authorised
technicians.
Warning! The company shall not be held responsible
for any incidents that occur if these regulations are
not observed.

Cycle duration
The wash cycle duration can be viewed on the display.
The information contained in the table is purely indicative.
Wash options
Super Wash
This option guarantees a high-performance wash,
thanks to the use of a greater quantity of water
during the initial phase of the cycle and a longer
overall duration of the programme.
It is not compatible with the Fastwash, Silk, Wool,
Duvets and Partial programmes.
Easy Iron
If this option is selected, the wash and spin phases will
be adjusted accordingly so that fabric creasing is
reduced. At the end of the cycle the drum of the
washing machine will spin slowly; the Easy Iron and
START/PAUSE indicator lights will flash. To end the
cycle, press the START/PAUSE button or the Easy
Iron button.
When using the Silk programme, the machine will end
the cycle while the laundry is soaking and the Easy
Iron indicator light will flash. To drain the water so that
the laundry can be removed, press the START/PAUSE
button or the Easy Iron button.
This option is not compatible with the Wool, Fast spin
cottons, Slow spin cottons and Pump out programmes.
Extra Rinse
This programme increases the efficiency of the rinse
phase and ensures that a greater amount of
detergent is removed. It is particularly recommended
for skin types that are sensitive to detergents. We
recommend this programme is used when the
washing machine is full or when a large amount of
detergent has been used.
This option is not compatible with the Fastwash,
Fast spin cottons, Slow spin cottons and Pump out
programmes.
Mini load
This function should be used when the amount of
laundry is half, or less than half, of the maximum
recommended load (see Table of Programmes).
This option is not compatible with the Fast spin
cottons, Slow spin cottons and Pump out programmes.

Detergents and laundry
Detergent
GB
The type and quantity of detergent used depends on
the type of fabric (cotton, wool, silk...), its colour, the
temperature of the wash, the level of soiling and the
hardness of the water in the area.
Measuring out the detergent carefully will avoid
accidental spills and help to protect the environment:
although they may be biodegradable, detergents
contain elements that alter the balance of nature.
We recommend:
the use of powder detergents for white cotton
garments and for pre-wash phases;
the use of liquid detergents for delicate cotton
garments and for all programmes which run at a
low temperature;
the use of liquid detergents for wool and silk.
Do not use detergents when washing garments by
hand, because they create too much foam.
The detergent must be measured out into the relevant
compartment, or into the detergent dosing ball which will be
placed directly into the drum of the machine. In this case
the Cotton cycle with pre-wash phase may not be selected.
Wool: Ariston is the only washing machine to have
obtained the prestigious Woolmark Platinum Care mark of
recognition (M.0508) from The Woolmark Company, which
certifies the machine washing of all woollen garments,
even those whose label states hand wash only
1 kg). The Wool programme therefore offers you complete peace of mind when washing all woollen garments, with
great performance guaranteed every time.
Duvets: to wash double or single duvets (the weight of
which should not exceed 3 kg), cushions or clothes
padded with goose down such as puffa jackets, use the
special "Duvets" programme. 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 in conjunction with the
detergent dispenser drawer.
(max.
Preparing the laundry
Unfold all items of laundry before placing them in the
machine.
Divide the laundry according to type of material (the
symbol on the garment label) and colour, making sure
that whites are separated from coloured garments.
Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons.
Do not exceed the values indicated in the Table of
Programmes, which refer to the weight of the
laundry items when they are 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 400 - 500 g
1 shirt 150 - 200 g
Washing advice
Shirts: use a suitable programme to wash shirts made
from different fabrics and in different colours. This will
guarantee that these garments are looked after properly.
Silk: use the relevant programme designed for all silk
garments. We recommend the use of a special
detergent for delicate garments.
Curtains: these should be folded and placed inside
the bag provided. Use the "Silk" programme.
Quilts: to wash quilts with a synthetic outer layer, use
the bag provided and set the programme to "Duvets".
Bathroom laundry and bedlinen: this washing
machine can be used to wash any domestic laundry
in a single cycle called BED&BATH that optimises
the use of fabric softener while saving both time and
electricity. We recommend that you use a powder
detergent.
Stubborn stains: stubborn stains should be treated
with solid soap before the garment is washed (use the
Cotton programme with pre-wash phase).
Load-balancing system
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations
and to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the
drum rotates continuously at a speed which is slightly
faster than the normal washing speed. If, after several
attempts, the load is still not evenly distributed, the
machine spins at a lower speed than the set
frequency.
If the load is excessively unbalanced, the washing
machine continues at distribution speed only instead
of the full spin speed.
In order to achieve better load distribution and
balance, we recommend that large and small
garments are mixed when placing the laundry in the
machine.

Precautions and tips
This machine was designed and manufactured in
compliance with cuurent international safety
standards. The following advice is provided for safety
reasons and should be read carefully.
General safety
This appliance was designed for domestic use
inside the home and is not intended for commercial
or industrial use.
The washing machine must be used by adults only,
in accordance with the instructions provided in this
booklet.
Do not touch the machine when barefoot or with
wet or damp hands or feet.
When unplugging the appliance, always pull the
plug from the mains socket; do not pull on the
cable.
Do not touch the drained water as it may reach
extremely high temperatures.
Never force the porthole door: doing so may
damage the safety lock mechanism designed to
prevent the door being opened accidentally.
If the appliance breaks down, under no
circumatances must you attempt to carry out the
repairs yourself.
Keep children well away from the machine while it
is in operation.
If the machine must be moved, work in a group of
two or three people and handle it very carefully.
Never attempt to move the appliance without the
help of another person, because it is extremely
heavy.
Make sure that the drum is empty before loading
laundry into the appliance.
Disposal
Opening the door manually
If it is not possible to open the porthole door due to a
powercut and you wish to hang out the laundry,
proceed as follows:
1. Remove the plug from
the electricity socket;
2. Make sure that the
water level inside the
20
machine is lower than the
door opening; if this is not
the case remove excess
water using the water
outlet hose, collecting it in
a bucket as shown in the
figure;
3. Remove the covering
panel on the front of the
washing machine using a
screwdriver (see figure);
4. Using the tab shown in
the figure, pull outwards
until the plastic brace
comes away; pull it
downwards until you hear
a click, which indicates
that the door is unlocked;
GB
When disposing of the packaging material: observe
local legislation so that the packaging may be reused.
The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment 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 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.
5. Open the door; if this is
still not possible, repeat
the process;
6. Replace the kick strip, making sure that the hooks
are positioned in the right slots before pushing the
panel towards the machine.
9
Care and maintenance
Turning off the water and electricity
GB
supplies
Turn off the water tap after every wash. This limits
wear and tear on the machines water supply and
prevents leaks.
Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply
before cleaning it and before performing any
maintenance work on it.
Cleaning the machine
The exterior of the appliance and all rubber parts may
be cleaned using a cloth soaked in warm soapy
water. Do not use solvents or abrasive products.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
drawer
To remove the drawer,
press the lever (1) and pull
it outwards (2) (see
figure).
Wash the drawer under
running water; this should
be done regularly.
To access the pre-chamber:
1. Remove the kick strip
on the front of the
machine using a
screwdriver (see figure);
2. Position a container
collecting the drained
water (approximately 1.5 l)
correctly (see figure);
3. Unscrew the cover,
turning it in an
anticlockwise direction
(see figure);
4. Clean the inside thoroughly;
5. Screw the cover back on;
6. Replace the kick strip, making sure that the hooks
are positioned in the right slots before pushing the
panel towards the machine.
Drum maintenance
Always leave the porthole 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 regular maintenance.
However, it may be that small objects (coins, buttons,
etc.) fall into the pre-chamber that protects the pump
(the pump is located in the lower part of this prechamber).
Make sure that the wash cycle has finished and
remove the plug from the socket.
Checking the water inlet hose
Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If
there are any cracks, replace it immediately: the high
water pressure used by the wash cycles could cause
a cracked hose to split open.

Installation
SV
Det är viktigt att bevara denna bruksanvisning så
att den kan konsulteras när som helst. I händelse av
försäljning, överlåtelse eller flytt, ska du försäkra dig
om att bruksanvisningen följer med tvättmaskinen.
Läs noggrant anvisningarna: Där finns viktig
information om installation, användning och säkerhet.
I påsen som innehåller denna bruksanvisning finns
(förutom garantin) anvisningar angående
installationen.
Uppackning och nivellering
Uppackning
1. När tvättmaskinen har packats upp ska du
kontrollera att den inte har skadats under
transporten.
Om det skulle finnas skador ska du inte ansluta den
utan kontakta återförsäljaren.
2. Ta bort de 4 skruvarna
som skyddar maskinen
under transporten och
respektive distansstycke
som sitter på bakstycket
(se figuren).
Nivellering
1. Ställ tvättmaskinen på ett hårt och jämnt underlag
utan att stödja den mot väggar eller möbler.
2. Utjämna ojämnheter
genom att skruva på
justerfötterna tills
maskinen är horisontell
(maskinen ska inte luta
mer än högst 2 grader).
En ordentligt utförd nivellering ger maskinen stabilitet
och hindrar uppkomsten av vibrationer och buller. Detta
gäller i synnerhet vid centrifugeringsfasen.
Om maskinen ställs på ett golv som har
heltäckningsmatta eller en annan matta, ska fötterna
justeras på så sätt att det finns tillräckligt utrymme
under tvättmaskinen för ventilationen.
Anslutningar av vatten och el
Anslutning av vatteninloppsslangen
3. Stäng igen hålen med de medföljande
plastpluggarna som finns i påsen.
4. Spara alla delar. Om tvättmaskinen ska
transporteras måste dessa delar monteras tillbaka,
för att undvika skador inuti maskinen.
Lossa lådan
Gör på följande sätt för att ta bort bygeln som
blockerar lådan och stöder karet under transporten:
Skruva ur de skruvarna i mitten. Håll sedan stadigt i
bygeln, tryck den bakåt och dra ut den. Skruva ur de
4 sidoskruvarna och ta bort metallisten.
När detta moment är klart ska den medlevererade
plastsockeln (finns i den stora lådan). Sätt först i
krokarna i de därtill avsedda springorna och skjut
sedan sockeln mot maskinen.
För ytterligare information, se anvisningarna som
finns inuti lådan.
Emballagematerialet ska inte användas som
leksaker för barn.
Innan inloppsslangen ansluts till vattennätet ska du låta
vattnet rinna tills det är helt klart.
1. Anslut inloppsslangen
till maskinen genom att
skruva fast den till det
avsedda vattenuttaget i
den bakre delen uppe till
höger (se figur).
2. För in packningen A
(som finns i påsen) i
inloppslangens ände och
skruva fast den till en

en öppning med 3/4
gasgänga (se figur).
14
Kranens vattentryck måste befinna sig inom de
värden som finns i tabellen över Tekniska Data (se
sidan intill).
Om längden på inloppsslangen inte är tillräcklig ska
du vända dig till fackhandeln eller en auktoriserad
tekniker.
Maskinen ska inte installeras utomhus, inte ens om
installationsplatsen skyddas av ett tak, eftersom det
är mycket farligt att utsätta den för regn och oväder.
SV
Använd slangarna som följder med maskinen.
Använd aldrig begagnade eller gamla slangar.
Anslutning av avloppsslangen
Anslut avloppsslangen till
en avloppsledning eller
ett väggavlopp som är
placerat på en höjd
mellan 65 och 100 cm
65 - 100 cm
från marken. Slangen får
absolut inte böjas.
Alternativt kan den
hängas på kanten på ett
handfat eller ett badkar
och bind fast den
bifogade skenan till
kranen (se figur).
Den fria slangänden får
inte vara nedsänkt i
vatten.
När maskinen har installerats ska strömuttaget vara
lättåtkomligt.
Använd inte skarvsladdar eller grenuttag.
Kabeln ska inte böjas eller klämmas.
Nätkabeln och uttaget ska endast bytas ut av
behöriga tekniker.
OBS! Företaget avsäger sig allt ansvar om dessa
föreskrifter inte respekteras.
Tekniska data
Vi avråder från att använda förlängningsslangar; om
det ändå skulle vara nödvändigt måste
förlängningsslangen ha samma diameter som
originalslangen och den får inte vara längre än 150 cm.
Elanslutning
Innan du sätter i kontakten i uttaget ska du försäkra
dig om att:
Uttaget är jordat och normenligt;
Uttaget klarar maskinens maxeffekt som anges i
tabellen över Tekniska Data (se intill);
Spänningstillförseln befinner sig inom de värden
som anges i tabellen över Tekniska Data (se intill);
Uttaget passar ihop med maskinens stickkontakt.
I annat fall ska du låta byta ut uttaget eller
kontakten.
