Installation

! This instruction manual should be kept in a GB 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.

! 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. Connect the inlet hose by screwing it to a cold water tap using a 3/4 gas threaded connection (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 range of 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 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 drain duct or

a wall drain situated between 65 and 100 cm from the floor;

alternatively, placed it over the edge

of a basin, sink or tub, 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
			GB
	installed, the electricity socket must remain
	within easy reach.

!Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.

!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 standards are not observed.

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 wash cycle auto clean (see “Cleaning the washing machine”).

Care and maintenance

		Cutting off the water and
	GB
		electricity 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.

•The washing machine has a auto clean programme for its internal parts that must be

run with no load in the drum.

	A	To help the wash cycle
		you may want to use
		either the detergent
		(i.e. a quantity 10%
		the quantity specified
		for lightly-soiled
		garments) or special
		additives to clean the
		washing machine. We
		recommend running a
	cleaning programme every 40 wash cycles.

To start the programme press button A for 5 seconds (see figure).

The programme will start automatically and will run for about 70 minutes. To stop the cycle press the START/PAUSE button.

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 selfcleaning 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.

Disposal

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

•The European Directive 2012/19/EU 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 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.

**The duration of the wash cycle can be checked on the display.

The length of cycle shown on the display or in this booklet is an estimation only and is calculated assuming standard working conditions. The actual duration can vary according to factors such as water temperature and pressure, the amount of detergent used, the amount and type of load inserted, load balancing and any wash options selected.

1) Test wash cycle in compliance with regulations 1061/2010: set wash cycle 9 with a temperature of 60°C.

This cycle is designed for cotton loads with a normal soil level and is the most efficient in terms of both electricity and water consumption; it should be used for garments which can be washed at 60°C . The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated value.

2) Test wash cycle in compliance with regulations 1061/2010: set wash cycle 9 with a temperature of 40°C.

This cycle is designed for cotton loads with a normal soil level and is the most efficient in terms of both electricity and water consumption; it should be used for garments which can be washed at 40°C . The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated value.

For all Test Institutes:

2)Long wash cycle for cottons: set programme 9 at temperature 40°C.

3)Long wash cycle for synthetics: set wash cycle 4 with a temperature of 40°C.

Wash options

! If the selected option is not compatible with the set wash cycle, the indicator light will flash and the option will not be activated.

Extra Rinse

By selecting this option, the efficiency of the rinse is increased and optimal detergent removal is guaranteed. It is particularly useful for sensitive skin.

Detergents and laundry

		Detergent dispenser drawer
	GB
		Successful 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.

!Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for prewashing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C.

!Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging.

!Do not use hand washing detergents; they create too much foam.

				Open the detergent
		3		dispenser drawer and pour

		*	1	! Do not pour detergent into
	2			the middle compartment (*).
				compartment 1:
				Detergent for the wash
				cycle (powder or liquid)
				If liquid detergent is used, it is

recommended that the removable plastic partition A (supplied) be used for proper dosage.If powder detergent is used, place the partition into slot B.

compartment 2: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)

The fabric softener should not overflow the grid. extra compartment 3: 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: see “Table of programmes and wash cycles”.

How much does your laundry weigh?

1 sheet 400-500 g

1 pillow case 150-200 g

1 tablecloth 400-500 g

1 bathrobe 900-1,200 g

1 towel 150-250 g

Special wash cycles

Anti Stain: the programme 1 is suitable to heavily-soiled garments with resistant colours. It ensures a washing class that is higher than the standard class (A class). When running the programme, do not mix garments of different colours. We recommend the use of powder detergent. Pre-treatment with special additives is recommended if there are obstinate stains. Anti Stain Quick: this programme is ideal for washing the most difficult daily stains in 1 hour. It is ideal for mixed fabrics and coloured garments, caring for your clothes as it washes.

Darks: use cycle 6 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 dark-coloured garments. Delicates: use programme 7 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.

Wool - Woolmark Apparel Care - Green:

the wool wash cycle of this machine has been approved by The Woolmark Company for the washing of wool garments labelled as “hand wash” provided that the products are washed according to the instructions on the garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this washing machine (M1126)

Cotton 20°C: the programme 10 ideal for lightly soiled cotton loads. The effective performance levels achieved at cold temperatures, which are comparable to washing at 40°, are guaranteed by a mechanical action which operates at varying speed, with repeated and frequent peaks.

Baby: use the special wash cycle 11 to remove the remove the soiling typically caused by babies, while removing all traces of detergent from nappies in order to prevent the delicate skin of babies from suffering allergic reactions. 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.

Anti Allergy: use programme 12 to remove major allergens such as pollen, mites, cat’s and dog’s hair. Silk: use special wash cycle 13 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 13.

Duvets: to wash single duvets (the weight of which should not exceed 2 kg), cushions or clothes padded with goose down such as puffa jackets, use the special 14 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.

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.

Instalacja

! Należy zachować niniejszą książeczkę, PL aby móc z niej skorzystać w każdej chwili.

W przypadku sprzedaży, odstąpienia lub przeniesienia pralki w inne miejsce należy zadbać o przekazanie instrukcji wraz z nią, aby nowy właściciel mógł się zapoznać z działaniem urządzenia i z dotyczącymi go ostrzeżeniami.

! Należy uważnie przeczytać instrukcję obsługi: zawiera ona ważne informacje dotyczące instalacji oraz właściwego i bezpiecznego użytkowania pralki.

Rozpakowanie i wypoziomowanie

Rozpakowanie

1.Rozpakować pralkę.

2.Sprawdzić, czy nie doznała ona uszkodzeń w czasie transportu. W przypadku stwierdzenia uszkodzeń, nie podłączać pralki i skontaktować się ze sprzedawcą.

3. Odkręcić śruby zabezpieczające urządzenie na czas transportu oraz zdjąć gumowy

element z podkładką, znajdujący się w tylnej części pralki

(patrz rysunek).

4.Zatkać otwory przy pomocy plastikowych zaślepek, znajdujących się w wyposażeniu urządzenia.

5.Zachować wszystkie części: w razie konieczności przewiezienia pralki w inne miejsce, powinny one zostać ponownie zamontowane.

! Części opakowania nie są zabawkami dla dzieci.

Poziomowanie

1. Ustawić pralkę na płaskiej i twardej podłodze, nie opierając jej o ściany,

meble itp.

2. Jeśli podłoga nie jest idealnie pozioma, należy skompensować

nierówności, odkręcając lub dokręcając przednie nóżki (patrz rysunek); kąt nachylenia, zmierzony na górnym blacie pralki, nie powinien przekraczać 2°.

Staranne wypoziomowanie pralki zapewnia jej stabilność i zapobiega wibracjom, hałasowi oraz przesuwaniu się urządzenia w czasie pracy. W przypadku ustawienia na dywanie lub wykładzinie dywanowej, należy tak wyregulować nóżki, aby pod pralką pozostawała wolna przestrzeń niezbędna dla wentylacji.

Podłączenia hydrauliczne i elektryczne

Podłączenie przewodu doprowadzającego wodę

1. Podlacz przewód zasilajacy poprzez przykrecenie go do

zaworu zimnej wody z

koncówka gwintowana

(patrz rysunek): Przed podłączeniem spuszczać wodę do momentu, aż stanie się ona całkowicie przezroczysta.

2. Podłączyć do

urządzenia przewód

doprowadzający

wodę, przykręcając

go do odpowiedniego przyłącza wody,

znajdującego się w

tylnej części pralki, z prawej strony u góry

(patrz rysunek).

3. Zwrócić uwagę, aby przewód nie był pozaginany ani przygnieciony.

!Ciśnienie wody w kurku powinno mieścić się w przedziale podanym w tabeli Danych technicznych (patrz strona obok).

!Jeśli długość przewodu doprowadzającego wodę jest niewystarczająca, należy zwrócić się do specjalistycznego sklepu lub do autoryzowanego technika.

!Nigdy nie instalować przewodów, które były już używane.

!Stosować przewody znajdujące się w wyposażeniu urządzenia.

Podłączenie przewodu odpływowego

		Podłączyć przewód
		odpływowy, nie
		zginając go, do rury
		ściekowej lub do
65	- 100 cm	otworu odpływowego
		w ścianie, które
		powinny się
		znajdować na
		wysokości od 65 do
		100 cm od podłogi;
		albo oprzeć
		go na brzegu
		zlewu lub wanny,
		przymocowując do
		kranu prowadnik,
		znajdujący się
		w wyposażeniu
		pralki (patrz
		rysunek). Wolny
		koniec przewodu
		odpływowego nie
powinien być zanurzony w wodzie.

! Odradza się używanie rur przedłużających; jednak jeśli jest to konieczne, przedłużacz powinien mieć taki sam przekrój, jak oryginalna rura, a jego długość nie powinna przekraczać 150 cm.

Podłączenie elektryczne

Przed włożeniem wtyczki do gniazdka elektrycznego należy się upewnić, czy:

• gniazdko posiada uziemienie i jest zgodne z obowiązującymi przepisami;

• gniazdko jest w stanie wytrzymać maksymalne obciążenie mocy urządzenia, wskazane w tabeli Danych technicznych

(patrz obok);

• napięcie zasilania mieści się w wartościach wskazanych w tabeli Danych technicznych

(patrz obok);

• gniazdko pasuje do wtyczki pralki. W przeciwnym razie należy wymienić gniazdko lub wtyczkę.

!Nie należy instalować pralki na otwartym powietrzu, nawet w osłoniętym miejscu, gdyż wystawienie urządzenia na działanie deszczu i burz jest bardzo niebezpieczne.

!Po zainstalowaniu pralki gniazdko elektryczne powinno być łatwo dostępne.

!Nie używać przedłużaczy ani rozgałęźników.

	! Kabel nie powinien być pozginany ani
			PL
	przygnieciony.
	! Przewód zasilania elektrycznego może być
	wymieniany wyłącznie przez autoryzowanych
	techników.
	Uwaga! Producent nie ponosi żadnej
	odpowiedzialności, jeśli powyższe zasady
	nie będą przestrzegane.

Pierwszy cykl prania

Po zainstalowaniu pralki, przed przystąpieniem do jej użytkowania, należy wykonać jeden cykl prania ze środkiem piorącym, ale bez wsadu, nastawiając program opcja czyszczenia pralki (patrz “Czyszczenie pralki”).
