Installation

This instruction manual should be kept in a safe GB place for future reference. If the washing machine is

sold, transferred or moved, make sure that the instruction manual remains with the machine so that the new owner is able to familiarise himself/herself with its operation and features.

Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital information relating to the safe installation and operation of the appliance.

Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking

1.Remove the washing machine from its packaging.

2.Make sure that the washing machine has not been damaged during the transportation process. If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any further with the installation process.

3. Remove the 4 protective screws (used during transportation) and the rubber washer with the corresponding spacer, located on the rear part of the appliance (see figure).

4.Close off the holes using the plastic plugs provided.

5.Keep all the parts in a safe place: you will need them again if the washing machine needs to be moved to another location.

Packaging materials should not be used as toys for children.

Levelling

1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor, without resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or anything else.

2. If the floor is not perfectly level, compensate for any unevenness by tightening or loosening the adjustable front feet (see figure); the angle of inclination, measured in relation to the worktop, must not exceed 2°.

Levelling the machine correctly will provide it with stability, help to avoid vibrations and excessive noise and prevent it from shifting while it is operating. 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

1. Insert seal A into the end of the inlet hose and screw the latter onto a cold water tap with a 3/4 gas threaded opening

A	(see figure).
	Before performing the
	connection, allow the
	water to run freely until it
	is perfectly clear.
	2. Connect the inlet hose
	to the washing machine
	by screwing it onto the
	corresponding water inlet
	of the appliance, which is
	situated on the top right-
	hand side of the rear part
	of the appliance (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 details table (see next page).

If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialised shop or an authorised technician.

Never use second-hand hoses.

Use the ones supplied with the machine.

2

Connecting the drain hose

65 - 100 cm

Connect the drain hose, without bending it, to a drainage duct or a wall drain located at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor;

alternatively, rest it 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 washing machine. If this is not the case, replace the socket or the plug.

The washing 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.

When the washing machine has been installed, the electricity socket must be within easy reach.

Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.

GB

The cable should not be bent or compressed.

The power supply cable must only be replaced by authorised technicians.

Warning! The company shall not be held responsible in the event that these regulations are not respected.

The first wash cycle

Once the appliance has been installed, and before you use it for the first time, run a wash cycle with detergent and no laundry, using the wash cycle .

Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser drawer

GB

Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessarily result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to environmental pollution.

Do not use hand washing detergents because these create too much foam.

MAX	4

3	2

Open the detergent dispenser drawer and pour in the detergent or washing additive, as follows.

compartment 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder)

Before pouring in the detergent, make sure that extra compartment 4 has been removed.

compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle (powder or liquid)

Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately prior to the start of the wash cycle.

compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)

The fabric softener should not overflow the grid. extra compartment 4: Bleach

Preparing the laundry

•Divide the laundry according to:

-the type of fabric/the symbol on the label

-the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.

•Empty all garment pockets and check the buttons.

•Do not exceed the listed values, which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry:

Durable fabrics: max. 8 kg Synthetic fabrics: max. 3,5 kg Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg Wool: max. 2 kg

Silk: max. 2 kg

How much does your laundry weigh?

1sheet 400-500 g

1pillow case 150-200 g

1tablecloth 400-500 g

1bathrobe 900-1200 g

1towel 150-250 g

Special wash cycles

Mix 30’: this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 30 minutes and therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting this wash cycle ( at 30°C), it is possible to wash different fabrics together (except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 3 kg.

Mix 15’: this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 15 minutes and therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting this wash cycle ( at 30°C), it is possible to wash different fabrics together (except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 1.5 kg.

Baby cycle: this wash cycle can be used to remove the soiling typically caused by babies, while ensuring that all detergent is removed from nappies in order to prevent the delicate skin of babies from suffering allergies. The cycle has been designed to reduce the amount of bacteria by using a greater quantity of water and optimising the effect of special disinfecting additives added to the detergent.

At the end of the wash cycle, the machine will slowly rotate the drum to prevent the formation of creases; to end the cycle press the START/PAUSE button.

Silk: use special wash cycle to wash all silk garments. We recommend the use of special detergent which has been designed to wash delicate clothes.

Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle .

Wool: Hotpoint/Ariston is the only washing machine manufacturer to have been awarded the prestigious Woolmark Platinum Care endorsement (M.0508) by the Woolmark Company, which means that all woollen garments may be washed in the washing machine, even those which state “hand wash only”

on the label. Wash cycle therefore offers complete peace of mind when washing woollen garments in the washing machine (max. load 2 kg) and guarantees optimal performance.

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 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.

Precautions and tips

This washing 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.

•The washing machine must only be used by adults, in accordance with the instructions provided in this manual.

•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 open the detergent dispenser drawer while the machine is in operation.

•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.

•The door can become quite hot during the wash cycle.

•If the appliance has to be moved, work in a group 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.

Disposal

•Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.

•The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment. The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected.

Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.

Opening the porthole door manually

GB

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 20

opening; if it is not, remove excess water using the

drain hose, collecting it in a bucket as indicated in the figure.

3. using a screwdriver, remove the cover panel on the lower front part of the washing machine (see figure).

4.pull outwards using the tab as indicated in the figure, until the plastic tie-rod is freed from its stop position; pull downwards and open the door at the same time.

5.reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely in place before you push it onto the

appliance.

9

Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water and electricity GB supplies

•Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle. This will limit wear on the hydraulic system inside the washing machine and help to prevent leaks.

•Unplug the washing machine when cleaning it and during all maintenance work.

Cleaning the washing 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

1

2

Remove the dispenser by raising it and pulling it out (see figure).

Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently.

Caring for the door and drum of your appliance

•Always leave the porthole door ajar in order 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 pre-chamber which protects the pump, situated in its bottom part.

Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug the appliance.

To access the pre-chamber:

1. using a screwdriver, remove the cover panel on the lower front part of the washing machine (see figure);

2. unscrew the lid by rotating it anti-clockwise (see figure): a little water may trickle out. This is perfectly normal;

3.clean the inside thoroughly;

4.screw the lid back on;

5.reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely in place before you push it onto 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.

Never use second-hand hoses.

10

Läs noggrant anvisningarna: Det finns viktig information angående installation, användning och säkerhet.

Uppackning och nivellering

Uppackning

1.Ta ur tvättmaskinen ur förpackningen.

2.Kontrollera att tvättmaskinen inte skadats under transporten. Om det skulle finnas skador ska du inte ansluta den utan kontakta återförsäljaren.

3. Ta bort de 4 skruvarna, som skyddat maskinen under transporten, samt gummidelen med dess avståndsbricka, som sitter på bakstycket (se figur).

4.Stäng igen hålen med de medföljande plastpluggarna.

5.Spar alla delar: Om tvättmaskinen måste flyttas ska de monteras tillbaka.

Emballagematerialet ska inte användas som leksaker för barn.

Nivellering

1. Installera tvättmaskinen på ett hårt och jämnt underlag utan att stödja den mot väggar, möbler eller annat.

2. Om golvet inte skulle vara fullständigt plant kan ojämnheten kompenseras genom att de främre fötterna dras åt eller lossas (se figur). Lutningsvinkeln, mätt på arbetsplanet, får inte överstiga 2°.

En ordentligt utförd nivellering ger maskinen stabilitet och hindrar uppkomsten av vibrationer, buller samt att maskinen flyttar sig under användningen. Om golvet 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

1. För in packningen A i inloppslangens ände och skruva fast den till en kallvattenkran som har en öppning med 3/4

A	gasgänga (se figur).
	Innan du ansluter slangen
	ska du låta vattnet rinna
	tills det är helt klart.
	2. Anslut inloppsslangen
	till tvättmaskinen genom
	att skruva fast den till det
	avsedda vattenuttaget i
	den bakre delen uppe till
	höger (se figur).

3. Se till att slangen inte har några veck eller är hopklämd.

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.

Använd aldrig begagnade slangar.

Använd slangarna som följer med maskinen.

14

Anslutning av avloppsslang

65 - 100 cm

Anslut avloppsslangen, utan att böja den, till en avloppsledning eller ett väggavlopp som är placerat på en höjd mellan 65 och 100 cm från golvet,

eller lägg den i ett handfat eller ett badkar och bind fast den bifogade skenan på kranen (se figur). Den fria slangänden får inte vara nedsänkt i vatten.

Använd inte skarvsladdar eller grenuttag.

SE

Kabeln ska inte böjas eller klämmas.

Driftsladden får endast bytas ut av behöriga tekniker.

OBS! Företaget avsäger sig allt ansvar om dessa föreskrifter inte respekteras.

Första tvättcykeln

Efter installationen, innan du börjar använda maskinen, ska du köra en tvättcykel med tvättmedel men utan tvättgods, genom att ställa in programmet .

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.

Elektrisk anslutning

Innan du sätter i kontakten i uttaget ska du försäkra dig om att:

•Vägguttaget är jordanslutet och i enlighet med gällande standard.

•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 tvättmaskinens stickkontakt. Om det inte förhåller sig på detta vis ska du byta ut uttaget eller kontakten.

Tvättmaskinen får inte installeras utomhus, inte ens om installationsplatsen skyddas av ett tak, eftersom det är mycket farligt att utsätta den för regn och oväder.

När tvättmaskinen har installerats ska strömuttaget vara lättåtkomligt.
