Installation

! Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future GB 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: 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, measu-

red 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 theapplianceeffortlessly,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 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;

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.

!When the washing machine has been installed, the electricity socket must be within easy reach.

! 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.

4.CLOSE THE DOOR.

5.SELECT THE WASH CYCLE. Press one of the WASH CYCLE SELECTOR buttons to select the required wash cycle; the name of the wash cycle will appear on the display. A temperature and spin speed is set for each wash cycle; these may be adjusted. The duration of the cycle will appear on the display.

6.CUSTOMISE THE WASH CYCLE. Use the relevant buttons:

Modifying the temperature and/or spin speed. The machine automatically selects the maximum temperature and spin speed set for the selected wash cycle; these values cannot therefore be increased. The temperature can be decreased by

pressing the button, until the cold wash “OFF” setting is reached. The spin speed may be progressively

reduced by pressing the button, until it is completely excluded (the “OFF” setting). If these buttons are pressed again, the maximum values are restored.

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.

!If the selected function is not compatible with another function which has been selected previously, the indicator light corresponding to the first function selected will flash and only the second function will be activated; the indicator light corresponding to the enabled function will remain lit.

!The functions may affect the recommended load value and/or the duration of the cycle.

7.START THE PROGRAMME. Press the START/ PAUSE button. The corresponding indicator light will become green, remaining lit in a fixed manner, and the door will be locked (the DOOR LOCKED symbol will be on). During the wash cycle, the name of the phase in progress will appear on the display. To change a wash cycle while it is in progress, pause the washing machine using the START/PAUSE button (the START/ PAUSE indicator light will flash slowly in an orange colour); then select the desired cycle and press the START/PAUSE button again.

To open the door while a cycle is in progress, press the START/PAUSE button; if the DOOR LOCKED symbol is switched off the door may be opened. Press the START/PAUSE button again to restart the wash cycle from the point at which it was interrupted.

8.THE END OF THE WASH CYCLE. This will be indicated by the text “END OF CYCLE” on the display; when the DOOR LOCKED symbol switches off the door may be opened. Open the door, unload the laundry and switch off the machine.

! If you wish to cancel a cycle which has already begun, press and hold the button. The cycle will be stopped and the machine will switch off.

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.
		!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.
		Open up the detergent
		dispenser and pour in the
		detergent and fabric softe-
		ner, 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”.

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.

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 GB 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.

Care and maintenance

		Cutting off the water or electricity supply
	GB
		• 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 cle-
		aned 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.
		! Make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug the
		appliance.

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.

! Never use hoses that have already been used.

					How to clean the detergent dispenser
Disassembly:				Cleaning:

Installazione

		!È importante conservare questo libretto per poterlo consultare
	I
		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 figura); 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 lavabiancheria 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,ènecessariotirarela leva nera, situata in basso a sinistra, sotto lo zoccolo. Ultimato lo spostamento riportarla nella posizione iniziale. La macchina a questopuntoèsaldamente 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.

14

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;

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.

! Non usare prolunghe e multiple.

I

!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).

!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.

! 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 “FINECICLO” suldisplay,quandoil 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.
