Installation
GB
This instruction manual should be kept in a safe
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.
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
A
3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over or bent.
gas threaded opening
(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 righthand side of the rear part
of the appliance (see
figure).
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°.
2
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.
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;
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
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.
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

The display is useful when programming the machine and provides a great deal of information.
The two upper strings A and B provide details of the wash cycle selected, the wash cycle phase in progress and
all information relating to the progress status of the wash cycle.
String C shows the time remaining until the end of the wash cycle in progress and, if a DELAYED START has been
set, the time remaining until the start of the selected wash cycle.
String D shows the maximum spin speed value (this depends on the selected wash cycle); if the wash cycle does
not include a spin cycle, the string remains unused.
String E shows the maximum temperature value which may be selected (this depends on the wash cycle used); if
the temperature of the wash cycle cannot be modified, the string remains unused.
Indicator lights F correspond to the functions and light up when the selected function is compatible with the set
wash cycle.
Door locked symbol
If the symbol is lit, this indicates that the washing machine door is blocked to prevent it from being opened
accidentally. To prevent any damage from occurring, wait for the symbol to switch itself off before opening the
appliance door.
N.B.: if the DELAYED START function has been activated, the door cannot be opened; pauses the machine by
pressing the START/PAUSE button if you wish to open it.
The first time the machine is switched on, you will be asked to select the language and the display will
automatically show the language selection menu.
To select the desired language press the TEMPERATURE and SPIN buttons; to confirm the selection press the
CONTROL PANEL LOCK button.
If you wish to select another language, press and hold the CONTROL PANEL LOCK + TEMPERATURE + SPIN
buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds, then repeat the steps listed above.

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

Preparing the laundry
Divide the laundry according to:

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. 5 kg
Synthetic fabrics: max. 2,5 kg
Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg
Wool: max. 1 kg
Silk: max. 1 kg

.
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.
