Installation
GB
!Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for
future reference. Should the appliance be sold,
transferred or moved, make sure the instruction
manual accompanies the washing machine to inform
the new owner as to its operation and features.
!Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital
information on installation, use and safety.
Unpacking and levelling
Unpacking
1. Unpack the
washing machine.
2. Check whether the
washing machine has
been damaged during
transport. If this is the
case, do not install it
and contact your
retailer.
3. Remove the four
protective screws and
the rubber washer
with the respective
spacer, situated on
the rear of the
appliance (see figure).
4. Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided.
5. Keep all the parts: you will need them again if
the washing machine needs to be moved to
another location.
Warning: Warning:
Warning: should the screws be re-used, make sure
Warning: Warning:
you fasten the shorter ones at the top.
!Packaging materials are not children's toys.
Levelling
Your machine may make a considerable amount of
noise if the two front feet have not been adjusted
correctly.
1. Install the washing
machine on a flat
sturdy floor, without
resting it up against
walls, furniture cabinets
or other.
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 according to the worktop,
must not exceed 2°.
Levelling your appliance correctly will provide it with
stability and avoid any vibrations, noise and shifting
during operation. If it is placed on a fitted or loose
carpet, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow
enough room for ventilation beneath the washing
machine.
Putting your appliance in place and moving it.
If your washing
machine is equipped
with a special set of
retractable wheels you
can easy move it. To
lower the wheels and
thus move the
appliance effortlessly,
just pull the lever,
situated on the lefthand side beneath the
base. Once the
appliance is in the required position, put the lever
back in place. The washing machine is now firmly in
place (see figure).
Electric and water connections
Connecting the water inlet hose
1. Connect the supply
pipe by screwing it to a
cold water tab 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 other
end of the water inlet
hose to the washing
machine, screwing it
onto the appliance's
cold water inlet, situated
on the top right-hand
side on the rear of the
appliance (see figure).
3. Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the hose.
! The water pressure at the tap must be within the
values indicated in the Technical details table
(on the next page).
! If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact
a specialist store or an authorised serviceman.
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;
! 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;
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 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.

How to open and to close the drum
GB
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 (it will take about
three minutes).
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

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.

Detergents and laundry
GB
Detergent dispenser drawer
Good washing results also depend on the correct
dose of detergent: adding too much detergent won't
necessarily make for a more efficient wash, and may
in fact cause build up on the interior of your appliance
and even pollute the environment.
Open up the detergent
dispenser and pour in
the detergent and fabric
softener, as follows.
compartment 1: Detergent for pre-wash
compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle
(powder or liquid)
It is recommended that you place liquid detergent
directly into the compartment using the appropriate
dosing cup.
compartment 3: Additives (softener, etc.)
When pouring the softener in compartment 3, avoid
exceeding the "max" level indicated.
The softener is added automatically into the machine
during the last wash. At the end of the wash
programme, some water will be left in compartment
3. This is used for the inlet of denser fabric softeners
into the machine, i.e. to dilute the more concentrated
softeners. Should more than a normal amount of
water remain in compartment 3, this means the
emptying device is blocked. For cleaning instructions,
see “Care and maintenance”.
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. 6 kg
Synthetic fabrics: max. 2,5 kg
Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg
Wool: max. 1 kg
Silk: max. 1 kg
How much does your laundry weigh?
1 sheet 400-500 g
1 pillow case 150-200 g
1 tablecloth 400-500 g
1 bathrobe 900-1200 g
1 towel 150-250 g
