Installation

! This instruction manual should be kept in a GB 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 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 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.

! 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

65 - 100 cm

Connect the drain hose, without bending it, to a drain duct or

a wall drain situated 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 installed, the electricity socket must remain 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 standards
	are not observed.

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.

	A	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 button A 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.

**The duration of the wash cycle can be checked on the display.

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 regulations 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 regulations 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:

3)Long wash cycle for cottons: set programme 3 at temperature 40°C.

4)Long wash cycle for synthetics: set wash cycle 4 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.

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.

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.

B		A	Open the detergent
			dispenser drawer and pour

compartment 1: 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 2: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)

The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.

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.

Darks: use cycle 6 to wash dark-coloured garments. This programme is designed to maintain dark colours over time. We recommend using a liquid detergent for the best results when washing dark-coloured garments. Ultradelicates: use programme 7 to wash very delicate garments having strasses or 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.

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 (M1127)

Cotton 20°C: the programme 10 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.

Anti-Allergy: use programme 12 to remove major allergens such as pollen, mites, cat’s and dog’s hair.

Silk: use special wash cycle 13 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 13.

Duvets: to wash double or single duvets (the weight of which should not exceed 3,5 kg), cushions or clothes padded with goose down such as puffa jackets, use the special 14 wash cycle. We recommend that duvets are placed in the drum with their edges folded inwards (see figure) and that no more than ¾ of the total volume of the drum is used. To achieve the best results, we recommend that a liquid detergent is used and placed inside the detergent dispenser drawer.

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.

Installation

! Det är viktigt att förvara denna

SV bruksanvisning så att den alltid finns till hands. Vid försäljning, överlåtelse eller flytt ska du försäkra dig om att bruksanvisningen förblir tillsammans med tvättmaskinen så att den nye ägaren kan ta del av dess information och varningar.

! Läs noggrant anvisningarna: Det finns viktig information angående installation, användning och säkerhet.

Uppackning och nivellering

Uppackning

1.Ta ur tvättmaskinen ur förpackningen.

2.Kontrollera att tvättmaskinen inte skadats under transporten. Om det skulle finnas skador ska du inte ansluta den utan kontakta återförsäljaren.

3. Ta bort de 4 skruvarna, som skyddat maskinen under transporten, samt gummidelen med dess avståndsbricka, som sitter på bakstycket (se figur).

4.Stäng igen hålen med de medföljande plastpluggarna.

5.Spar alla delar: Om tvättmaskinen måste flyttas ska de monteras tillbaka.

! Emballagematerialet ska inte användas som leksaker för barn.

Nivellering

1. Installera tvättmaskinen på ett hårt och jämnt underlag utan att stödja den mot väggar, möbler eller annat.

2. Om golvet inte skulle vara fullständigt plant kan ojämnheten kompenseras genom att de främre fötterna dras åt eller lossas (se figur). Lutningsvinkeln, mätt på arbetsplanet, får inte överstiga 2°.

En ordentligt utförd nivellering ger maskinen stabilitet och hindrar uppkomsten av vibrationer, buller samt att maskinen flyttar sig under användningen. Om golvet har heltäckningsmatta eller en annan matta ska fötterna justeras på så sätt att det finns tillräckligt utrymme under tvättmaskinen för ventilationen.

Anslutningar av vatten och el

Anslutning av vatteninloppsslangen

1. Anslut inloppslangens ände och skruva fast den på en kallvattenkran som har en öppning med 3/4 gasgänga

(se figur).

Innan du ansluter slangen ska du låta vattnet rinna tills det är helt klart.

2. Anslut inloppsslangen till tvättmaskinen genom att skruva fast den till det avsedda vattenuttaget i den bakre delen uppe till höger (se figur).

3. Se till att slangen inte har några veck eller är hopklämd.

! Kranens vattentryck måste befinna sig inom de värden som finns i tabellen över Tekniska Data (se sidan intill).

!Om längden på inloppsslangen inte är tillräcklig ska du vända dig till fackhandeln eller en auktoriserad tekniker.

!Använd aldrig begagnade slangar.

!Använd slangarna som följer med maskinen.

14

Anslutning av avloppsslangen

65 - 100 cm

Anslut avloppsslangen, utan att böja den, till en avloppsledning eller ett väggavlopp som är placerat på en höjd mellan 65 och 100 cm från marken,

alternativt kan avloppsslangen

hängas på kanten på ett handfat eller ett badkar genom

att binda fast

skenan (kan

köpas separat hos

auktoriserad teknisk

assistans) på kranen (se figur). Den fria

slangänden får inte vara nedsänkt i vatten.

! Vi avråder från att använda förlängningsslangar; om det ändå skulle vara nödvändigt måste förlängningsslangen ha samma diameter som originalslangen och den får inte vara längre än 150 cm.

Elektrisk anslutning

Innan du sätter i kontakten i uttaget ska du försäkra dig om att:

•Vägguttaget är jordanslutet och i enlighet med gällande standard.

•Uttaget klarar maskinens maxeffekt som anges i tabellen över Tekniska Data (se intill).

•Spänningstillförseln befinner sig inom de värden som anges i tabellen över Tekniska Data (se intill).

•Uttaget passar ihop med tvättmaskinens stickkontakt. Om det inte förhåller sig på detta vis ska du byta ut uttaget eller kontakten.

!Tvättmaskinen får inte installeras utomhus, inte ens om installationsplatsen skyddas av ett tak, eftersom det är mycket farligt att utsätta den för regn och oväder.

!När tvättmaskinen har installerats ska strömuttaget vara lättåtkomligt.

!Använd inte skarvsladdar eller grenuttag.

!Kabeln ska inte böjas eller klämmas.

	! Driftsladden får endast bytas ut av behöriga
			SV
	tekniker.
	OBS! Företaget avsäger sig allt ansvar om
	dessa föreskrifter inte respekteras.

Första tvättcykeln

Efter installationen, innan du börjar använda maskinen, ska du köra en tvättcykel med tvättmedel men utan tvättgods, genom att ställa in programmet auto rengöring (se “Rengöring av tvättmaskinen”).
