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 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, placed it over the edge

of a basin, sink or tub, 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
			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
	cycle with detergent and no laundry, using
	wash cycle auto clean (see “Cleaning the
	washing machine”).

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 B	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.

** 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 9 at temperature 40°C and press the DIRECT INJECTION button under “Power” mode.

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.

!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.

Direct Injection

The washing machine is equipped with the innovative technology «Direct Injection» which pre-mixes water and detergent, thus immediately activating the detergent’s cleaning principles. This active emulsion is directly introduced into the drum of the washing machine and penetrates the fibres with more efficacy in cleaning

even heavily soiled garments at low temperatures, fully preserving colours and fabrics.

The mode «Power» ensures the best cleaning performance and the mode «EcoEnergy» allows more energy saving.

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.

Time Saver

If you select this option, the wash cycle duration will be reduced by up to 50%, depending on the selected cycle, thereby guaranteeing simultaneous water and energy saving. Use this cycle for lightly soiled garments.

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
			in the detergent or washing
			additive, as follows.
	2 * 1		! Do not pour detergent into
			the middle compartment (*).

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

Stain removal Power 20°C: this programme ensures maximum stain removal capacity with no need for pretreatment at low temperatures, preserving fabrics and colours.

Stain removal Turbo 45’: this cycle ensures excellent stain removal capacity even at 20°C in just 45 minutes. The temperature of this cycle can be increased up to 40°C. 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. Delicates: 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 (M1135)

Baby: use the special wash cycle 10 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.

Anti Allergy: use programme 11 to remove major allergens such as pollen, mites, cat’s and dog’s hair. Bed & Bath: use programme 12 to wash bed linen and towels in one single cycle: it optimises softener performance and helps you save time and energy. We recommend the use of powder detergent

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.

Troubleshooting

	Your washing machine could occasionally fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Service (see “ Service”),
				GB
	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.

Possible causes / Solutions:

•The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or not enough to make 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.

The washing machine does not fill with water (the text “H2O” flashes on the display).

The washing machine continuously takes in and drains water.

The washing machine does not drain or spin.

•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 Technical 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 antidraining valves are available in shops and help to prevent this inconvenience.

•The wash cycle does not include draining: some cycles require the draining process to be enabled manually.

•The drain hose is bent (see “Installation”).

•The drainage duct is clogged.

The washing machine vibrates a lot during the spin cycle.

•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 washing machine leaks.	• 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”).

The “option” and START/PAUSE indicator lights flash rapidly and an error code appears on the display (e.g.: F-01, F-..).

There is too much foam.

•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.

Service

			Before contacting the Technical Assistance Service:
	GB
			• Check whether you can solve the problem alone (see “Troubleshooting”);
			• Restart the wash cycle to check whether the problem has been solved;
			• If this is not the case, contact an authorised Technical Assistance Centre.
			! Always request the assistance of authorised technicians.

Have the following information to hand:

•the type of problem;

•the appliance model (Mod.);

•the serial number (S/N).

This information can be found on the data plate applied to the rear of the washing machine, and can also be found on the front of the appliance by opening the door.
