Installation

! This instruction manual should be kept in a safe GB 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 information 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 3

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.

! 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°.

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 inlet hose by screwing it to a cold water tap using a 3/4 gas threaded connection (see figure).

Before performing the connection, allow the water to run freely until it is perfectly clear.

2. Connect the 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.

!The water pressure at the tap must fall within the range of values indicated in the Technical data 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.

2

Connecting the drain hose

			Connect the drain
			hose, without bending
			it, to a drain duct or
			a wall drain situated
	65	- 100 cm	between 65 and 100
			cm from the floor.

Alternatively, place
the drain hose
over the edge of
a washbasin or
bathtub, by fastening
the guide	(which
can be purchased
at the technical
assistance centre) 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
							GB
	installed, the electricity socket must remain
	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 standards
	are not observed.
	The first wash cycle
	Once the appliance has been installed, and
	before you use it for the first time, run a wash

Care and maintenance

		Cutting off the water and
	GB
		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.

•The washing machine has a auto clean programme for its internal parts that must be

run with no load in the drum.

To help the wash cycle you may want to use

either the detergent (i.e. a quantity 10%

the quantity specified for lightly-soiled

garments) or special additives to clean the washing machine. We recommend running a

cleaning programme every 40 wash cycles. To start the programme press buttons A and B simultaneously for 5 seconds (see figure). The programme will start automatically and will run for about 70 minutes. To stop the cycle press the START/PAUSE button.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer

1

2

Remove the dispenser by raising it and pulling it out (see figure).

Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently.

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 selfcleaning pump which does not require any maintenance. Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into the pre-chamber which protects the pump, situated in its bottom part.

! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug the appliance.

To access the pre-chamber:

1. using a screwdriver, remove the cover panel on the lower front part of the washing machine

(see figure);

2. unscrew the lid by rotating it anti-

clockwise (see figure): a little water may trickle out. This is perfectly normal;

3.clean the inside 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 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.

Running a wash cycle

1. SWITCH THE MACHINE ON. Press the button;

GB the START/PAUSE indicator light will flash slowly in a green colour.

2.LOAD THE LAUNDRY. Open the porthole door. Load the laundry, making sure you do not exceed the maximum load value indicated in the table of programmes and wash cycles on the following page.

3.MEASURE OUT THE DETERGENT. Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer and pour the detergent into the relevant compartments as described in “Detergents and laundry”.

4.CLOSE THE DOOR.

5.SELECT THE WASH CYCLE. Use the WASH CYCLE SELECTOR knob to select the desired wash cycle. A temperature and spin speed is set for each wash cycle; these values may be adjusted. The duration of the cycle will appear on the display.

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

Modify the temperature and/or spin speed.

The machine automatically displays the maximum temperature and spin speed values set for the selected cycle, or the most recently-used settings if they are compatible with the selected cycle. 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.

! Exception: if the 4 programme is selected, the temperature can be increased up to a value of 90°C.

Setting a delayed start.

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

Set the desired wash intensity.

Option makes it possible to optimise washing based on the level of soil in the fabrics and on desired wash cycle intensity.

Select the wash programme: the cycle will be automatically set to “Normal” as optimised for garments with an average level of soil (this setting is not applicable to the “Wool” cycle, which is automatically set to “Delicate”).

For heavily-soiled garments press button until the “Intensive” level is reached. This level ensures a high-performance wash due to a larger quantity of

water used in the initial phase of the cycle and due to increased drum rotation. It is useful when removing the most 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 pag. 10).

For lightly-soiled garments or a more delicate treatment of the fabrics, press button until the “Delicate” level is reached. The cycle will reduce drum rotation

to ensure washing results that are perfect for delicate garments.

Modify the cycle settings.

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

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

!If the selected option is not compatible with the set wash cycle, the indicator light will flash and the option will not be activated.

!If the selected option is not compatible with a previously selected one, the indicator light corresponding to the first function selected will flash and only the second option will be activated; the indicator light for the option which has been activated will be illuminated.

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

7.START THE WASH CYCLE. Press the START/ PAUSE button. The corresponding indicator light will turn green, remaining lit in a fixed manner, and the

The length of cycle shown on the display or in this booklet is an estimation only and is calculated assuming standard working conditions. The actual duration can vary according to factors such as water temperature and pressure, the amount of detergent used, the amount and type of load inserted, load balancing and any wash options selected.

1) Test wash cycle in compliance with regulation 1061/2010: set wash cycle 9 with a temperature of 60°C.

This cycle is designed for cotton loads with a normal soil level and is the most efficient in terms of both electricity and water consumption; it should be used for garments which can be washed at 60°C . The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated value.

2) Test wash cycle in compliance with regulation 1061/2010: set wash cycle 9 with a temperature of 40°C.

This cycle is designed for cotton loads with a normal soil level and is the most efficient in terms of both electricity and water consumption; it should be used for garments which can be washed at 40°C . The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated value.

For all Test Institutes:

2)Long wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle 9 with a temperature of 40°C.

3)Long wash cycle for synthetics: set wash cycle 5 with a temperature of 40°C.

Wash options

!If the selected option is not compatible with the set wash cycle, the indicator light will flash and the option will not be activated.

!If the selected option is not compatible with a previously selected one, the indicator light corresponding to the first function selected will flash and only the second option will be activated; the indicator light for the option which has been activated will be illuminated.

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.

Prewash

If this function is selected, the pre-wash cycle will run; this is useful for removing stubborn stains.

N.B.: Put the detergent in the relevant compartment.

Detergents and laundry

		Detergent dispenser drawer
	GB
		Successful 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; they create too
		much foam.

Before pouring in the detergent, make sure that extra compartment 4 has been removed.

compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle (powder or liquid)

If liquid detergent is used, it is recommended that the removable plastic partition A (supplied) be used for proper dosage.

If powder detergent is used, place the partition into slot B. compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)

The fabric softener should not overflow the grid. extra compartment 4: Bleach

Preparing the laundry

•Divide the laundry according to:

-the type of fabric/the symbol on the label

-the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.

•Empty all garment pockets and check the buttons.

•Do not exceed the listed values, which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry: see “Table of programmes and wash cycles”.

How much does your laundry weigh?

1 sheet 400-500 g

1 pillow case 150-200 g

1 tablecloth 400-500 g

1 bathrobe 900-1,200 g

1 towel 150-250 g

Special wash cycles

Anti Stain: the programme 1 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.

Anti Stain Quick: this programme is ideal for washing the most difficult daily stains in 1 hour. It is ideal for mixed fabrics and coloured garments, caring for your clothes as it washes.

Whites: use this cycle 3 to wash white clothes. The programme is designed to maintain the brightness of white clothes over time. Use powder detergent for best results. Anti allergy Plus: use programme 6 to remove major allergens such as pollen, mites, cat’s and dog’s hair.

Anti allergy Delicate: cycle studied for cotton laundry and other resistant fabrics to guarantee the removal of pollen and cat and dog hair already at 40°.

Baby: use the special wash cycle 8 to remove the remove the soiling typically caused by babies, while removing all traces of detergent from nappies in order to prevent the delicate skin of babies from suffering allergic reactions. 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.

Wool - Woolmark Apparel Care - Green:

the wool wash cycle of this machine has been approved by The Woolmark Company for the washing of wool garments labelled as “hand wash” provided that the products are washed according to the instructions on the garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this washing machine

Delicates: use programme 11 to wash very delicate garments having strasses or sequins.

To wash silk garments and curtains select the cycle 11 and set the “Delicate” level from option .

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.

Cotton 20°C ideal for lightly 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.

The Cycles 13-14 assure energy saving by eliminating the need of heating water! These innovative programmes are available for various fabrics (lightly soiled). For the best washing results we recommend the usage of a liquid detergent; it is advisable to pre-treat cuffs, collars and stains.

Load balancing system

Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations before every spin 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.

Instalación

! Es importante conservar este manual para ES poder consultarlo en cualquier momento.

En caso de venta, de cesión o de traslado, verifique que permanezca junto con la lavadora para informar al nuevo propietario sobre el funcionamiento y brindar las correspondientes advertencias.

! Lea atentamente las instrucciones: ellas contienen importante información sobre la instalación, el uso y la seguridad.

Desembalaje y nivelación

Desembalaje

1.Desembale la lavadora.

2.Controle que la lavadora no haya sufrido daños durante el transporte. Si estuviera dañada no la conecte y llame al revendedor.

3. Quite los 3 tornillos de protección

para el transporte y la arandela

de goma con el correspondiente distanciador ubicados en la parte posterior (ver la figura).

4.Cubra los orificios con los tapones de plástico suministrados con el aparato.

5.Conserve todas las piezas: cuando la lavadora deba ser transportada nuevamente, deberán volver a colocarse.

! Los embalajes no son juguetes para los niños.

Nivelación

1. Instale la lavadora sobre un piso plano y rígido, sin apoyarla en las paredes, muebles ni en ningún otro aparato.

2. Si el piso no está perfectamente

horizontal, compense las irregularidades desenroscando o enroscando las patas delanteras (ver la figura); el ángulo de inclinación medido sobre la superficie de trabajo, no debe superar los 2º.

Una cuidadosa nivelación brinda estabilidad a la máquina y evita vibraciones, ruidos y desplazamientos durante el funcionamiento. Cuando se instala sobre moquetas o alfombras, regule los pies para conservar debajo de la lavadora un espacio suficiente para la ventilación.

Conexiones hidráulicas y eléctricas

Conexión del tubo de alimentación de agua

1. Conectar el tubo de tubo enroscándolo a un grifo de agua fría con la boca roscada de 3/4 gas (ver la figura).

Antes de conectarlo, haga correr el agua hasta que esté límpida.

2. Conecte el tubo de alimentación

a la lavadora enroscándolo en la toma de agua correspondiente ubicada en la parte posterior derecha

(arriba) (ver la figura).

3. Controle que en el tubo no hayan pliegues ni estrangulaciones.

! La presión de agua del grifo debe estar comprendida dentro de los valores contenidos en la tabla de Datos técnicos (ver la página correspondiente).

!Si la longitud del tubo de alimentación no es la suficiente, diríjase a un negocio especializado o a un técnico autorizado.

!No utilice nunca tubos ya usados.

!Utilice los suministrados con la máquina.

14

Conexión del tubo de desagüe

65 - 100 cm

Conecte el tubo de desagüe, sin plegarlo, a un conducto de desagüe o a una desagüe de pared ubicados a una distancia del piso comprendida entre 65 y 100 cm.

Otra alternativa es apoyar el tubo de desagüe en el borde de un

lavamanos o de una bañera, uniendo la

guía	(puesta a
disposición para la

venta por el servicio

de asistencia) al grifo (ver la figura).

El extremo libre del tubo de desagüe no debe permanecer sumergido en el agua.

! No se aconseja utilizar tubos de prolongación, si fuera indispensable hacerlo, la prolongación debe tener el mismo diámetro del tubo original y no superar los 150 cm.

Conexión eléctrica

Antes de enchufar el aparato, verifique que:

•la toma tenga la conexión a tierra y haya sido hecha según las normas legales;

•la toma sea capaz de soportar la carga máxima de potencia de la máquina indicada en la tabla de Datos técnicos (ver

al costado);

•la tensión de alimentación esté comprendida dentro de los valores indicados en la tabla de Datos técnicos (ver

al costado);

•la toma sea compatible con el enchufe de la lavadora. Si no es así, sustituya la toma o el enchufe.

!La lavadora no debe ser instalada al aire libre, ni siquiera si el lugar está reparado, ya que es muy peligroso dejarla expuesta a la lluvia o a las tormentas.

!Una vez instalada la lavadora, la toma de corriente debe ser fácilmente accesible.

!No utilice prolongaciones ni conexiones múltiples.

!El cable no debe estar plegado ni sufrir

	compresiones.
			ES
	! El cable de alimentación debe ser sustituido
	sólo por técnicos autorizados.
	¡Atención! La empresa fabricante declina toda
	responsabilidad en caso de que estas normas
	no sean respetadas.

Mantenimiento y cuidados

		Interrumpir el agua y la corriente
	ES
		eléctrica
		• Cierre el grifo de agua después de cada
		lavado. De este modo se limita el desgaste
		de la instalación hidráulica de la lavadora y
		se elimina el peligro de pérdidas.
		• Desenchufe la máquina cuando la
		debe limpiar y durante los trabajos de
		mantenimiento.
		Limpiar la lavadora

•La parte externa y las partes de goma se pueden limpiar con un paño embebido en agua tibia y jabón. No use solventes ni productos abrasivos.
