Installation
!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: Warning:
Warning: should the screws be re-used, make sure
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, com-
pensate 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 left-
hand 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. 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 mouth (see
figure).
Before making 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.

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.
! 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.

Specials wash cycles
Sanitizing cycle (wash cycle 7). A high-temperature hygienic wash cycle (over 60°C) which requires the use of bleach.
Pour the bleach, the detergent and the additives into the relevant compartments (see paragraph entitled
“Detergent dispenser drawer”).
Goodnigt cycle (wash cycle 8). This is a silent cycle which can be run at night, when the electricity prices are lower. The
wash cycle is designed for cottons and synthetics. At the end of the cycle the machine stops while there is still water in
the drum; to spin and drain the laundry press the START/PAUSE button; alternatively the machine will perform the spin
cycle and drain the water automatically after 8 hours.
Baby cycle (wash cycle 9). 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.
Mix 30’ (wash cycle 5) 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 (5 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’(wash cycle 6) 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 (6 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.
The duration of the wash cycles can be checked on the display .

Setting the spin speed
By pressing the SPIN SPEED button to set the spin speed for the selected wash cycle.
The maximum spin speeds available for each wash cycle are as follows:
Wash cycles Maximum spin speed
Cottons 1000 rpm
Synthetics 800 rpm
Wool 600 rpm
Silk drain only
The spin speed may be lowered, or the spin cycle can be excluded altogether by selecting the symbol
.
The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a spin speed which is higher than the
maximum speed set for each wash cycle.
Functions
The various wash functions available with this washing machine will help to achieve the desired results, every time.
To activate the functions:
1. Press the button corresponding to the desired function;
2. the function is enabled when the corresponding indicator light is illuminated.
Note: If the indicator light flashes rapidly, this signals that this particular function may not be selected in
conjunction with the selected wash cycle.
Delay timer
To set a delayed start for the selected wash cycle, press the button repeatedly until the desired delay time is
displayed (this may be between 1 hour and 24 hours).
To disable the function press the button until the text
is displayed.
N.B. Once you have pressed the START/PAUSE button, the delay time may only be decreased if you wish to modify it.
! This option is enabled with all programmes.
Super Wash
Because a greater quantity of water is used in the initial phase of the cycle, and because of the increased cycle
duration, this function offers a high-performance wash.
! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 5, 6, 7, 11, 12,
, , , .
Extra rinse
By selecting this function, the efficiency of the rinse is increased and optimal detergent removal is guaranteed. It is
particularly useful for sensitive skin.
! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 5, 6,
, , .
Easy iron
By selecting this function, the wash and spin cycles will be modified in order to reduce the formation of creases. At
the end of the cycle the washing machine will perform slow rotations of the drum.
For the 4, 8, 11 wash cycle, the machine will end the cycle while the laundry is soaking, the EASY IRON and
START/PAUSE indicator lights will flash (orange) and the RINSE phase will remain lit in a fixed manner. To drain the
water so that the laundry may be removed, press the START/PAUSE button or the EASY IRON button.

Detergents and laundry
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
Bleach cycle
Bleaching may only be performed in conjunction with
wash cycles 2, 3, 7,
.
Pour the bleach into compartment 4; pour the
detergent and softener into the corresponding
compartments, then select one of the
abovementioned wash cycles.
This option is recommended only for very soiled
cotton garments.
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
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
Garments requiring special care
Shirts: use special wash cycle 10 to wash shirts in
various fabrics and colours.
It guarantees maximum care is taken of the garments
and minimises the formation of creases.
Silk: use special wash cycle 11 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 11.
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 12 therefore offers
complete peace of mind when washing woollen
garments in the washing machine (max. load 1 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 at-
tempts, 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 distri-
bution process instead of spinning. To encourage im-
proved 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 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.
• 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.
Saving energy and respecting the
environment
Saving on detergent, water, energy and time
• To avoid wasting resources, the washing machine
should be used with a full load. A full load instead
of two half loads allows you to save up to 50% on
energy.
• The pre-wash cycle is only necessary on
extremely soiled garments. Avoiding it will save on
detergent, time, water and between 5 and 15%
energy.
• Treating stains with a stain remover or leaving
them to soak before washing will cut down the
need to wash them at high temperatures. A
programme at 60°C instead of 90°C or one at
40°C instead of 60°C will save up to 50% on
energy.
• Use the correct quantity of detergent depending
on the water hardness, how soiled the garments
are and the amount of laundry you have, to avoid
wastage and to protect the environment: despite
being biodegradable, detergents do contain
ingredients that alter the natural balance of the
environment. In addition, avoid using fabric
softener as much as possible.
• If you use your washing machine from late in the
afternoon until the early hours of the morning, you
will help reduce the electricity board's peak load.
The “Delay Timer” option helps to organise your
wash cycles accordingly.
• If your laundry has to be dried in a tumble dryer,
select a high spin speed. Having the least water
possible in your laundry will save you time and
energy in the drying process.
10
GB
Care and maintenance
Cutting off the water or electricity
supply
• Tur n off the water tap after every wash. This will
limit the wear of your appliance's water system
and also prevent leaks.
• Unplug your appliance when cleaning it and during
all maintenance operations.
Cleaning your appliance
The exterior and rubber parts of your appliance can
be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm
soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
Caring for your appliance door and
drum
• Always leave the appliance door ajar to prevent
unpleasant odours from forming.
Cleaning the pump
The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning
pump that does not require any maintenance.
Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons)
may fall into the pre-chamber that protects the
pump, situated in the lower part of the same.
! Make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug
the appliance.
How to clean the detergent dispenser
Cleaning:
Then clean the dispenser under a tap (fig. 3) using an
old toothbrush and, once the pair of siphons inserted in
the top of compartments 1 and 2 (fig. 4) have been pulled
out, check whether the same are not clogged and then
rinse them.
Reassembly:
Do not forget to reinsert the
pair of siphons into the spe-
cial housings and then to
replace the dispenser into
its seat, clicking it into place
(fig. 4, 2 and 1).
Disassembly:
Press lightly on the large
button on the front of the
detergent dispenser and
pull it upwards (fig. 1, 2).
To recover any objects that have fallen into the pre-
chamber:
1. remove the plinth at
the bottom on the front
side of the washing
machine by pulling from
the side with your
hands (see figure);
2. unscrew the lid
rotating it anticlock-
wise (see figure): a little
water may trickle out.
This is perfectly normal;
3. clean the interior
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 water inlet hose at least once a year. If
you see any cracks, replace it immediately: during the
wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and a
cracked hose could easily split open.
!!

отрегулируйте ее
устойчивое положение
путем вращения передних ножек (см. рис.). Для
этого сначала ослабьте контргайку, после завер-
шения регулировки контргайку затяните. После
установки машины на место проверьте по уровню
A
горизонтальность верхней крышки корпуса,
отклонение горизонтали должно быть не более 2°.
Правильное выравнивание оборудования поможет
избежать шума, вибраций и смещений во время
работы машины.
Если стиральная машина стоит на полу, покрытом
ковром, убедитесь, что ее основание возвышает-
ся над ковром. В противном случае вентиляция
будет затруднена или вовсе невозможна.
Установка машины на место и перемещение
Ваша стиральная
машина может быть
оснащена специальны-
ми убирающимися ко-
лесами для облегчения
ее перемещения.
Чтобы опустить колеса
и передвинуть обору-
дование, просто потя-
ните за рычаг,
расположенный слева
под основанием маши-
ны. После установки
оборудования в требуемое положение верните
рычаг в исходное поло.
Подключение к водопроводной и
электрической сети
Подсоединение заливного шланга
1. Вставь те прокладку А в
конец заливного шланга
и наверните его на
вывод водопровода
холодной воды с резьбо-
вым отверстием 3/4
дюйма (см. рис.).
Перед подсоединением
откройте водопроводный
кран и дайте стечь
грязной воде.
2. Подсоедините залив-
ной шланг к стиральной
машине, навинтив его
на водоприемник,
расположенный в
задней верхней части
справа (см. рис.).
3.Убедитесь, что шланг
не перекручен и не
пережат.
! Давление воды должно быть в пределах значе-
ний, указанных в таблице Технических характери-
стик (см. с. 15).
! Если длина водопроводного шланга окажется
недостаточной, обратитесь в Авторизованный
Сервисный центр.

Подсоединение сливного шланга
Повесьте загнутый конец
сливного шланга на край
раковины, ванны, или
поместите в
специальный вывод
канализации. Шланг не
должен перегибаться.
Верхняя точка сливного
шланга должна нахо-
диться на высоте 65-100
см от пола. Расположе-
ние сливного шланга
должно обеспечивать
разрыв струи при сливе
(конец шланга не
должен быть опущен в
воду).
В случае крепления на
край ванной или ракови-
ны, шланг вешается с
помощью направляющей
(входит в комплект
поставки), которая
крепится к крану (рис.).
! Не рекомендуется применение удлинителей для
сливного шланга, при необходимости допускается
его наращивание шлангом такого же диаметра и
длиной не более 150 см.
Подсоединение к электросети
Внимание! Оборудование обязательно должно быть
заземлено!
1. Машина подключается к электрической сети при по-
мощи двухполюсной розетки с заземляющим контактом
(розетка не поставляется с машиной). Фазный провод
должен быть подключен через автомат защиты сети, рас-
считанный на максимальный ток (ток срабатывания) 16
А, и имеющий время срабатывания не более 0,1 с.
2. При наличии вблизи от предполагаемого места уста-
новки машины розетки с заземляющим контактом,
имеющей трехпроводную подводку кабеля с медными
жилами сечением не менее 1,5 кв. мм (или алюминие-
выми жилами сечением не менее 2,5 кв. мм), доработка
электросети не производится. При отсутствии указанной
розетки и проводки следует провести их монтаж.
3. Прокладка заземления отдельным проводом не
допускается.
4. Для доработки электрической сети рекомендуется
применять провод типа ППВ 3х1,5 380 ГОСТ 6223-79.
Допускается применение других марок кабеля, обеспе-
чивающих пожаро- и электробезопасность при эксплуа-
тации машины.
Перед включением машины в сеть убедитесь, что:
z розетка и проводка соответствуют требованиям, изло-
женным в данном разделе инструкции;
z напряжение и частота тока сети соответствуют данным
машины;
z розетка и вилка одного типа;
z розетка заземлена в соответствии с нормами безо-
пасности, описанными в данном разделе инструкции
(допускается организация заземления рабочим ну-
лем, при условии, что защитная линия не имеет раз-
рыва и подключена напрямую в обвод каких-либо
приборов (например, электрического счетчика).
Если вилка не подходит к розетке, ее следует заменить
на новую, соответствующую розетке, или заменить пита-
ющий кабель. Замена кабеля должна производиться
только квалифицированным персоналом.
Запрещается использование переходников, двойных и
более розеток и удлинителей (они создают опасность
возгорания). Если Вы считаете их использование необ-
ходимым, применяйте один единственный удлинитель,
удовлетворяющий требованиям безопасности.
Оборудование, подключенное с нарушением требова-
ний безопасности бытовых приборов большой
мощности, изложенных в данной инструкции, являет-
ся потенциально опасным.
Производитель не несет ответственности за ущерб
здоровью и собственности, если он вызван
несоблюдением указанных норм установки.
Первый цикл стирки
По завершении установки, перед началом эксплуатации
необходимо произвести один цикл стирки со
стиральным порошком, но без белья, по программе 2.
