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 infor-
mation 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. Connect the supply pipe
by screwing it to a cold
water tap using a ¾ 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.
! 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
- 2004/108/EC (Electromagnetic Compatibility)
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.

Instructions for the fitter
Mounting the wooden panel onto the door and inserting the machine into cabinets:
In the case where the machine must be shipped for final
installation after the wooden panel has been mounted, we
suggest leaving it in its original packaging. The packaging was
designed to make it possible to mount the wooden panel
onto the machine without removing it completely (see figures
below).
The wooden panel that covers the face of the machine must
not be less than 18 mm in thickness and can be hinged on
either the right or left. For the sake of practicality when using
the machine, we recommend that the panel be hinged on the
same side as the door for the machine itself - the left.

Adjusting the appliance height.
The height of the appliance can be adjusted (from 815 mm to
835 mm), by turning the 4 feet.
Should you require the appliance to be placed higher than the
above height, you need to use the following accessories to
raise it to up to 870 mm:
the two crossbars (G); the 4 feet (H); the 4 screws (I); the 4
nuts (L) then perform the following operations (fig. 11):
remove the 4 original feet, place a crossbar G at the front of the
appliance, fastening it in place using screws I (screwing them in
where the original feet were) then insert the new feet H.
Repeat the same operation at the back of the appliance.
Now adjust feet H to raise or lower the appliance from 835 mm
to 870 mm.
Once you have reached the desired height, lock nuts L onto
crossbar G.
To adjust the appliance to a height between 870 mm and 900
mm, you need to mount strip M, adjusting feet H to the required height.
Insert the strip as follows:
loosen the three screws N situated at the front of the Top cover
of the appliance, insert strip M as shown in fig. 12, then fasten
screws N.

Super Wash
This option offers a highperformance wash due to the
greater quantity of water used
in the initial phase of the cycle,
and due to the increased wash
cycle duration, is particularly useful for the removal of
stubborn stains. It can be used
with or without bleach. If you
desire bleaching, insert the
extra tray compartment (4) into
compartment 1. When pouring
in the bleach, be careful not to
exceed the “max” level marked
on the central pivot (see figure). To bleach laundry without carrying out a full wash cycle, pour the bleach into the extra
compartment 4, select the “Rinse” cycle and activate the
“Super Wash” option.
! The use of extra compartment 4 excludes the “Pre-wash”
function.
! It cannot be used with the , , , , “Spin”, “Pump out”.
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.
! It cannot be used with the “Fastwash 30’”, , , “Spin”,
“Pump out”.
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; the
EASY IRON and START/PAUSE indicator lights will flash (orange)

Eco Wash
The Eco Wash function saves energy by not heating the
water used to wash your laundry – an advantage both to the
environment and to your energy bill. Instead, intensified wash
action and water optimisation ensure great wash results in the
same average time of a standard cycle.
For the best washing results we recommend the usage of a
liquid detergent.

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.
! Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for
pre-washing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C.
! Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging.
! Do not use hand washing detergents because these
create too much foam.
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

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. 7 kg
Synthetic fabrics: max. 3 kg
Wool: max. 1,5 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
Special wash cycles
Anti Stain : this programme 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.
StandardCotton 20°: ideal for heavily 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.
Anti Allergy: use programme to remove major allergens
such as pollen, mites, cat’s and dog’s hair.
Wool: the wool wash cycle on this Hotpoint/Ariston machine has been tested and approved by The Woolmark
Company for washing wool garments labelled as hand washable provided that the garments are washed according
to the instructions on the garment label and those issued
by the manufacturer of this washing machine. Hotpoint/
Ariston is the first washing machine brand to be approved
by The Woolmark Company for Apparel Care- Platinum for
its washing performance and consumption of energy and
water. (M1126)
Delicates: use programme to wash very delicate
garments with decorative features, such as diamantes and
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.
To wash Silk garments and Curtains, select cycle and
then function (in this case it will also be possible
to enable the “Extra Rinse” function); the machine will
end the cycle while the laundry is soaking and the
indicator light will flash. To drain the water so that the
laundry may be removed, press the START/PAUSE button
or the button.
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.

• 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.
Opening the porthole door manually
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. 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.

Disposal
• Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local regu-
lations 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.

GB
Cutting off the water and 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.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer
Remove the dispenser by
raising it and pulling it out
(see figure).
Wash it under running water; this operation should be
repeated frequently.
To access the pre-chamber:
1. unscrew the lid by rotating it anti-clockwise (see figure): a little water may
trickle out. This is perfectly
normal;
2. clean the inside thoroughly;
3. screw the lid back on;
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.
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 prechamber which protects the pump, situated in its bottom
part.
! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug the
appliance.

Troubleshooting
Your washing machine could fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre (see “Assistance”), make sure
that the problem cannot be solved easily using the following list.
Problem:
The washing machine does not
switch on.
The wash cycle does not start.
The washing machine does not
take in water (the text “NO WATER,
CHECK SUPPLY” appears on the
display).
The washing machine continuously
takes in and
drains water.
Possible causes / Solutions:
• The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or is not making contact.
• There is no power in the house.
• The washing machine door is not closed properly.
• The ON/OFF button has not been pressed.
• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.
• The water tap has not been opened.
• A delayed start has been set (see “Running a wash cycle”).
• The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap.
• The hose is bent.
• The water tap has not been opened.
• There is no water supply in the house.
• The pressure is too low.
• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.
• The drain hose is not fitted at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor
(see “Installation”).
• The free end of the hose is under water (see “Installation”).
• The wall drainage system is not fitted with a breather pipe.
If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water tap, switch
the appliance off and contact the Assistance Service. If the dwelling is on one of
the upper floors of a building, there may be problems relating to water drainage,
causing the washing machine to fill with water and drain continuously. Special
anti-draining valves are available in shops and help to avoid this inconvenience.
GB
The washing machine does not
drain or spin.
The washing machine vibrates a lot
during the spin cycle.
The washing machine leaks.
The machine is locked and the display
flashes, indicating an error code (e.g.
F-01, F-..).
There is too much foam.
• The wash cycle does not include draining: some wash cycles require the drain
phase to be started manually (see “Wash cycles and functions”).
• The EASY IRON function has been activated: To complete the wash cycle,
press the START/PAUSE button (see “Wash cycles and functions”).
• The drain hose is bent (see “Installation”).
• The drainage duct is clogged.
• The drum was not unlocked correctly during installation (see “Installation”).
• The washing machine is not level (see “Installation”).
• The washing machine is trapped between cabinets and walls (see “Installation”).
• The water inlet hose is not screwed on properly (see “Installation”).
• The detergent dispenser drawer is blocked (for cleaning instructions, see “Care and maintenance”).
• The drain hose is not fixed properly (see “Installation”).
• Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1 minute and
then switch it back on again.
If the problem persists, contact the Technical Assistance Service.
• The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should display the text
“for washing machines” or “hand and machine wash”, or the like).
• Too much detergent was used.

Installazione
! È importante conservare questo libretto per poterlo con-
I
sultare in ogni momento. In caso di vendita, di cessione o
di trasloco, assicurarsi che resti insieme alla lavabiancheria
per informare il nuovo proprietario sul funzionamento e sui
relativi avvertimenti.
! Leggere attentamente le istruzioni: ci sono importanti
informazioni sull’installazione, sull’uso e sulla sicurezza.
Disimballo e livellamento
Disimballo
1. Disimballare la lavabiancheria.
2. Controllare che la lavabiancheria non abbia
subìto danni nel trasporto. Se fosse danneggiata
non collegarla e contattare il rivenditore.
3. Rimuovere le 4 viti di
protezione per il trasporto
e il gommino con il relativo
distanziale, posti nella parte
posteriore (vedi figura).
Un accurato livellamento dà stabilità alla macchina ed
evita vibrazioni, rumori e spostamenti durante il funzionamento. In caso di moquette o di un tappeto, regolare i
piedini in modo da conservare sotto la lavabiancheria uno
spazio sufficiente per la ventilazione.
Collegamenti idraulici ed elettrici
Collegamento del tubo di alimentazione dell’acqua
1. Collegare il tubo di
alimentazione avvitandolo
a un rubinetto d’acqua
fredda con bocca filettata
da 3/4 gas (vedi figura).
Prima di allacciare, far
scorrere l’acqua finché
non sia limpida.
2. Collegare il tubo di alimentazione alla lavabiancheria avvitandolo all’apposita presa d’acqua,
nella parte posteriore in
alto a destra (vedi figura).
4. Chiudere i fori con i tappi di plastica in dotazione.
5. Conservare tutti i pezzi: qualora la lavabiancheria debba
essere trasportata, dovranno essere rimontati.
! Gli imballaggi non sono giocattoli per bambini.
Livellamento
1. Installare la lavabiancheria su un pavimento piano e rigi-
do, senza appoggiarla a muri, mobili o altro.
2. Se il pavimento non fosse
perfettamente orizzontale,
compensare le irregolarità
svitando o avvitando i piedini
anteriori (vedi figura); l’angolo di inclinazione, misurato
sul piano di lavoro, non deve
superare i 2°.
3. Fare attenzione che nel tubo non ci siano né pieghe né
strozzature.
! La pressione idrica del rubinetto deve essere compresa
nei valori della tabella Dati tecnici
(vedi pagina a fianco).
! Se la lunghezza del tubo di alimentazione non fosse
sufficiente, rivolgersi a un negozio specializzato o a un
tecnico autorizzato.
! Non utilizzare mai tubi già usati.
! Utilizzare quelli in dotazione alla macchina.
16
Collegamento del tubo di scarico
65 - 100 cm
Collegare il tubo di scarico, senza piegarlo, a una
conduttura di scarico o a
uno scarico a muro posti
tra 65 e 100 cm da terra;
! Non usare prolunghe e multiple.
! Il cavo non deve subire piegature o compressioni.
! Il cavo di alimentazione deve essere sostituito solo da
tecnici autorizzati.
Attenzione! L’azienda declina ogni responsabilità qualora
queste norme non vengano rispettate.
Primo ciclo di lavaggio
I
oppure appoggiarlo al
bordo di un lavandino o
di una vasca, legando la
guida in dotazione al
rubinetto (vedi figura).
L’estremità libera del tubo
di scarico non deve rimanere immersa nell’acqua.
! È sconsigliato usare tubi di prolunga; se indispensabile,
la prolunga deve avere lo stesso diametro del tubo originale e non superare i 150 cm.
Collegamento elettrico
Prima di inserire la spina nella presa della corrente, accertarsi che:
• la presa abbia la messa a terra e sia a norma
di legge;
• la presa sia in grado di sopportare il carico
massimo di potenza della macchina, indicato nella
tabella Dati tecnici (vedi a fianco);
• la tensione di alimentazione sia compresa nei
valori indicati nella tabella Dati tecnici (vedi a fianco);
• la presa sia compatibile con la spina della
lavabiancheria. In caso contrario sostituire la
presa o la spina.
! La lavabiancheria non va installata all’aperto, nemmeno
se lo spazio è riparato, perché è molto pericoloso lasciarla esposta a pioggia e temporali.
! A lavabiancheria installata, la presa della corrente deve
essere facilmente raggiungibile.
Dopo l’installazione, prima dell’uso, effettuare un ciclo di
lavaggio con detersivo e senza biancheria impostando il
programma (60° C).
