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 une-

venness 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. Insert seal A into the
	end of the inlet hose
	and screw the latter
	onto a cold water tap
A	with a 3/4 gas threa-
	ded mouth (see figu-
	re). Before making 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 installed, the electricity socket must remain within easy reach.

	! Do not use extension cords or multiple so-		GB
	ckets.

!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 electri-
	GB
		city supplies
		• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle.
		This will limit wear on the hydraulic system in-
		side 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 activate the programme, press the button for 5 seconds then press START/PAUSE to start the programme, which will last roughly 70 minutes.

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 self-clea- ning 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 anticlockwise (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.

	door due to a powercut, and if you wish to remove the
	laundry, proceed as follows:
	1. remove the plug from the
	electrical socket.
	2. make sure the water level
	inside the machine is lower
	than the door opening; if it
	is not, remove excess water
	using the drain hose, collec-
	ting it in a bucket as indicated
	in the figure.
	3. using a screwdriver, remo-
	ve the cover panel on the lo-
	wer front part of the washing
	machine (see figure).

4.pull outwards using the tab as indicated in the figure, until the plastic tie-rod is freed from its stop position; pull downwards and open the door at the same time.

!Exception: if the 4 programme is selected, the temperature can be increased up to a value of 60°C..

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. To remove the delayed start function press the button until the text

“-- h” appears on the display.

Set the rinse type.

Option makes it possible to select the desired rinse type for sensitive skin. Press the button once for the “Extra +1” level, which makes it possible to select an additional rinse after the standard cycle rinse and remove all traces of detergent. Press the button again for the “Extra +2” level, which makes it possible to select two additional rinses to the standard cycle rinses; it is recommended for very sensitive skin. When the button is pressed for the third time, the “Extra +3” level is set, thus allowing the selection of 3 rinses in addition to the standard cycle’s rinses. The option - started with cycles at a temperature of 40°C - makes it possible to remove major allergens such as pollen, cat and dog

hair. With cycles at a temperature higher than 40° a very

good level of antiallergic protection is achieved. Press the button again to go back to the “Normal rinse” rinse type. If the current adjustment can be neither set nor changed, the display will show “No Selection” or “No Change”.

Modifying the cycle settings.

•Press the button to enable the function; the relevant indicator light on the display will light up.

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

!If the selected function is incompatible with the set programme, the relevant indicator light will appear dimly lit; in addition, the incompatibility will be signalled by a buzzer (3 beeps) and the wording “No Selection” will appear on the display.

!If the selected function is incompatible with another

previously set function, the wording “No Selection” will appear on the display and the function will not be enabled.

! 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);

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 “CYCLE END” 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.

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.
