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 infor-

mation 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: 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, 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 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. Connect the supply pipe by screwing it to a cold water tab 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 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 spe-

cialist store or an authorised serviceman.

65 - 100 cm

Connecting the drain hose

Connect the drain hose,

without bending it, to a drai-

nage 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.

! The cable should not be bent or compressed.

! The power supply cable must only be replaced by autho-

rised 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.

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 (60°C).

press and hold the button. The cycle will be stopped and the machine will switch off.

Setting a delayed start.

To set a delayed start for the selected programme, press the corresponding button repeatedly until the required delay period has been reached. When this option is enabled, the symbol lights up on the display. To remove the delayed start function press the button until the text “OFF” appears on the display.

Modifying the cycle settings.

• Press the button to enable the function; the indicator light corresponding to the button will switch on.

• Press the button again to disable the function; the indicator light will switch off.

! If the selected function is not compatible with the

programmed wash cycle, the indicator light will flash and the function will not be activated.

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

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.

! Do not use hand washing detergents because these create

too much foam.

! 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.

Ope n up th e de tergent 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: Do not pour detergent into this compartment.

Special wash cycles

Cotton Standard 20°: (programme ) 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. Mix 30’: 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 ( 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’: 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 ( 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. Baby cycle: 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. At the end of the wash cycle, the machine will slowly rotate the drum to prevent the formation of creases; to end the cycle press the START/PAUSE button. Silk: use special wash cycle 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 . 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.

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 values listed in the “Table of wash

In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade mark is a Certification trade mark.

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 is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• The washing machine must only be used by adults, in accordance with the instructions provided in this manual.

• This appliance was designed for domestic use only.

• 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.

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.

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.

Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water or electricity supply

• Turn 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 unplea-

sant 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.

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

! Make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug the

appliance.

How to clean the detergent dispenser

Disassembly:

Press lightly on the large button on the front of the detergent dispenser and pull it upwards (fig. 1, 2).

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.

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.

! Never use hoses that have already been used.

Reassembly:

Do not for get to reins ert the pair of siphons into the special housings and then to replace the dispenser into its seat, clicking it into place (fig.

4, 2 and 1).

Troubleshooting

Your washing machine could fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre (see “Assistance”), make sure that the problem cannot be not 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 appliance Lid is not shut 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.

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.

Installazione

! È importante conservare questo libretto per poterlo consultare

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 quattro viti di protezione per il trasporto e il gommino con il relativo distanziale, posti nella parte posteriore (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. Attenzione. In caso di riutilizzo le viti più corte devono essere montate in alto.

! Gli imballaggi non sono giocattoli per bambini.

Livellamento

La vostra lavabiancheria potrà essere rumorosa se i due piedini non sono regolati in modo che la stessa risulti perfettamente in piano.

1. Installare la lavabiancheria su un pavimento piano e rigido, senza appoggiarla a muri, mobili o altro.

2. Se il pavimento non fosse perfettamente orizzontale, compensare le irregolarità

svitando o avvitando i piedini anteriori posteriori (vedi figu-

ra); l’angolo di inclinazione, misurato sul piano di lavoro, non deve superare i 2°. 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 lava- biancheria uno spazio sufficien-

te per la ventilazione.

Collocazione spostamenti

La tua lavatrice è dotata di uno speciale carrello con ruote retrattili puoi facilmente spostarla. Per far scendere questo carrello e poterla così movere senza sforzo, è necessario tirare la leva nera, situata in basso a sinistra, sotto lo zoccolo.

Ultimato lo spostamento

riportarla nella posizione iniziale. La macchina a questo punto è saldamente collocata (vedi figura).

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).

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.

Collegamento del tubo di scarico

65 - 100 cm

- 2004/108/CE (Compatibilità Elettromagnetica)

Collegare il tubo di scari-

co, senza piegarlo, a una

conduttura di scarico o a

uno scarico a muro posti

tra 65 e 100 cm da terra;

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.

! 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. Qualsiasi modifica apportata all’attacco predisposto dalla fabbrica o un irregolare collegamento elettrico, una qualsiasi modifica elettomeccanica o idraulica della macchina farà decadere la garanzia e solleverà il costruttore ed il venditore da eventuali responsabilità.

Primo ciclo di lavaggio

Dopo l’installazione, prima dell’uso, effettuare un ciclo di lavaggio con detersivo e senza biancheria impostando il programma (60°C).

! 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.

SELETTORE PROGRAMMI per selezionare il programma desiderato; il nome del programma comparirà sul display; ad esso è associata una temperatura e una velocità di centrifuga che possono essere modificate. Sul display comparirà la durata del ciclo.

6. PERSONALIZZARE IL CICLO DI LAVAGGIO. Agire

sugli appositi tasti:

Modificare la temperatura e/o la centrifuga. La

macchina seleziona automaticamente la temperatura e la centrifuga massime previste per il programma impostato e non possono pertanto essere aumentate. Premendo il

tasto si riduce progressivamente la temperatura sino al lavaggio a freddo “OFF”. Premendo il tasto si riduce

progressivamente la centrifuga sino alla sua esclusione “OFF”. Un’ulteriore pressione dei tasti riporterà i valori a

quelli massimi previsti.

Impostare una partenza ritardata.

Per impostare la partenza ritardata del programma prescelto, premere il tasto relativo fino a raggiungere il tempo

di ritardo desiderato. Quando tale opzione è attiva, sul display si illumina il simbolo . Per rimuovere la partenza

ritardata premere il tasto fino a che sul display compare la scritta “OFF”.

Modificare le caratteristiche del

ciclo.

! Le funzioni possono variare il carico raccomandato e/o

la durata del ciclo.

7. AVVIARE IL PROGRAMMA. Premere il tasto START/ PAUSE. La spia relativa si illuminerà di colore verde fisso e il coperchio si bloccherà (simbolo COPERCHIO BLOCCATO acceso). Durante il lavaggio, sul display comparirà il nome della fase in corso. Per cambiare

un programma mentre un ciclo è in corso, mettere la lavabiancheria in pausa premendo il tasto START/

PAUSE (la spia START/PAUSE lampeggerà lentamente di colore arancione); selezionare quindi il ciclo desiderato e premere nuovamente il tasto START/PAUSE.

Per aprire il coperchio mentre un ciclo è in corso premere il tasto START/PAUSE; se il simbolo COPERCHIO

BLOCCATO è spenta sarà possibile aprire il coperchio. Premere nuovamente il tasto START/PAUSE

per far ripartire il programma dal punto in cui era stato interrotto.

8. FINE DEL PROGRAMMA. Viene indicata dalla scritta “FINE CICLO” sul display, quando il simbolo COPERCHIO BLOCCATO si spegnerà sarà possibile aprire il coperchio. Aprire il coperchio, scaricare la biancheria e spegnere la macchina.

! Se si desidera annullare un ciclo già avviato, premere a

lungo il tasto . Il ciclo verrà interrotto e la macchina si spegnerà.

Sistema bilanciamento del carico

Prima di ogni centrifuga, per evitare vibrazioni eccessive e per distribuire il carico in modo uniforme, il cestello effettua delle rotazioni ad una velocità leggermente superiore a quella del lavaggio. Se al termine di ripetuti tentativi il carico non fosse ancora correttamente bilanciato la macchina effettua la centrifuga ad una velocità inferiore a quella prevista. In presenza di eccessivo sbilanciamento la lavabiancheria effettua la distribuzione anzichè la centrifuga. Per favorire una migliore distribuzione del carico e il suo corretto bilanciamento si consiglia di mescolare capi grandi e piccoli.

• Premere il tasto per attivare la funzione; la spia corrispondente al pulsante si accenderà.

• Premere nuovamente il tasto per disattivare la funzione; la spia si spegnerà.

! Se la funzione selezionata non è compatibile con il

programma impostato, la spia lampeggerà e la funzione non verrà attivata.

! Se la funzione selezionata non è compatibile con un’altra

precedentemente impostata, la spia relativa alla prima funzione selezionata lampeggerà e verrà attivata solo la

seconda, la spia della funzione attivata si illuminerà.
