Installation

! This instruction manual should be kept in a 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 infor-

mation 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).

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 supply pipe by screwing it to a cold water tap 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 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).

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°.

3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over or bent.

! The water pressure at the tap must fall within the values

indicated in the Technical details table (see page 3).

! 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.

65 - 100 cm

Connecting the drain hose

- 2004/108/EC (Electromagnetic Compatibility)

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;

! 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 autho-

rised technicians.

Warning! The company shall not be held responsible in the event that these regulations are not respected.

The first wash cycle

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;

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 the wash cycle “Auto Clean” (see “Cleaning

the washing machine”).

Running a wash cycle

1. SWITCH THE MACHINE ON. Press the On/Off

button ; the text POWER ON will appear on the display and 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 on the following page.

3. MEASURE OUT THE DETERGENT. Open 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. 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.

! Exception: if the

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 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.

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 “Super Wash” 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 wish to bleach the items insert the additional compartment (4) into compartment 1. When pouring the bleach, be careful not to exceed the “max” level marked on the central pivot (see figure pag. 8). For lightly-soiled garments or a more delicate treatment

(60°C) (2nd press of the button)

of the fabrics, press button until the “Delicate” level is reached. The cycle will reduce the drum rotation to ensure washing results are perfect for delicate garments. If the current selection can be neither set nor changed, the display will show “Not allowed”.

Set the rinse type.

Option makes it possible to select the desired rinse type for sensitive skin. Press the button once for the “Extra Rinse” 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 “Sensitive Skin” level, which makes it possible to select two additional rinses to the standard cycle rinses; it is recommended for very sensitive skin. Press the button for the third time for the “Anti allergy Rinse” level, which makes it possible to select three additional rinses to the standard cycle rinses and remove major allergens such as pollen, mites, cat and dog hair. 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 “Not allowed”.

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.

tion

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.

For all Test Institutes:

1) Test wash cycle in compliance with directive 1061/2010: set wash cycle 60°C (2nd press of the button); set wash cycle 40°C (3rd press of the button).

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 and 40°C. The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated value.

2) Long wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle 40°C (3rd press of the button).

3) Short wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle ; temperature of 40°C (press TEMPERATURE button).

4) Long wash cycle for synthetics: set wash cycle 60°C (1st press of the button); temperature of 40°C (press TEMPERATURE button).

Wash functions

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.

! It cannot be used with the , “Fastwash 60’”, , , .

Easy Iron

By selecting this function, the wash and spin cycles will be modified in order to reduce the formation of creases. At the end of the cycle the washing machine will perform slow rotations of the drum; the “Easy Iron” and START/ PAUSE indicator lights will flash (orange) and the text “END OF CYCLE” will appear on the display. To end the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button or the “Easy Iron” button.

! It cannot be used with the , “Fastwash 30’”, , ,

“Spin” and “Pump out”.

Eco Wash

The Eco Wash function saves energy by not heating the water used to wash your laundry – an advantage both to the environment and to your energy bill. Instead, intensified wash action and water optimisation ensure great wash results in the same average time of a standard cycle. For the best washing results we recommend the usage of a liquid detergent.

! It cannot be used with the , (90°C), , , , .

Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser drawer

Good 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 a build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to environmental pollution.

! Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for prewashing, 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.

Open the detergent dispenser drawer and pour in the detergent or washing additive, as follows.

compartment 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder)

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:

Durable fabrics: max. 7 kg Synthetic fabrics: max. 3 kg Wool: max. 1,5 kg

Silk: max. 1 kg

How much does your laundry weigh?

Special wash cycles

Anti Stain : this programme 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. Bed & Bath: use programme 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. Wool: the wool wash cycle on this Hotpoint-Ariston machine has been tested and approved by The Woolmark Company for washing wool garments labelled as hand washable provided that the garments are washed according to the instructions on the garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this washing machine. Hotpoint-Ariston is the first washing machine brand to be approved by The Woolmark Company for Apparel CarePlatinum for its washing performance and consumption of energy and water. (M1126)

Delicates: use programme to wash very delicate garments having strasses or sequins. To wash Silk garments and Curtains select the cycle 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.

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.

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 was designed for domestic use only.

• 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.

• 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 open the detergent dispenser drawer while the machine is in operation.

• 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.

• The door can become quite hot during the wash cycle.

• 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 regu-

lations 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 disposal of their old appliance.

Opening the porthole door manually

In the event that it is not possible to open the porthole 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, collecting it in a bucket as indicated in the figure.

3. using a screwdriver, remove the cover panel on the lower 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.

5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely in place before you push it onto the appliance.

Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water and 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 applian-

ce 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. For maximum performance 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 last approximately 70 minutes. To stop the cycle press the START/ PAUSE button.

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-cleaning 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);

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer

Remove the dispenser by raising it and pulling it out

(see figure).

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

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.

Troubleshooting

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

The washing machine does not take in water (the text “NO WATER, CHECK SUPPLY” appears on the display).

The washing machine continuously takes in and drains water.

Possible causes / Solutions:

• The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or is not making contact.

• There is no power in the house.

• The washing machine door is not closed properly.

• The ON/OFF button has not been pressed.

Instalacja

! Należy zachować niniejszą książeczkę, aby móc z niej

skorzystać w każdej chwili. W przypadku sprzedaży, odstąpienia lub przeniesienia pralki w inne miejsce należy zadbać o przekazanie instrukcji wraz z maszyną, aby nowy właściciel mógł zapoznać się z działaniem urządzenia i z dotyczącymi go ostrzeżeniami.

! Należy uważnie przeczytać instrukcję obsługi: za-

wiera ona ważne informacje dotyczące instalacji oraz właściwego i bezpiecznego użytkowania pralki.

Rozpakowanie i wypoziomowanie

Rozpakowanie

1. Rozpakować pralkę.

2. Sprawdzić, czy nie doznała ona uszkodzeń w czasie

transportu. W przypadku stwierdzenia uszkodzeń nie podłączać jej i skontaktować się ze sprzedawcą.

3. Odkręcić 4 śruby zabezpieczające maszynę na czas transportu oraz zdjąć gumowy element z podkładką, znajdujący się w tylnej części pralki (patrz rysunek).

4. Zatkać otwory przy pomocy plastikowych zaślepek,

znajdujących się w wyposażeniu maszyny.

5. Zachować wszystkie części: w razie konieczności

przewiezienia pralki w inne miejsce, powinny one zostać ponownie zamontowane.

! Części opakowania nie są zabawkami dla dzieci.

Poziomowanie

1. Ustawić pralkę na płaskiej i twardej podłodze, nie

opierając jej o ściany, meble itp.

Staranne wypoziomowanie pralki zapewnia jej stabilność i zapobiega wibracjom, hałasowi oraz przesuwaniu się maszyny w czasie pracy. W razie ustawienia na dywanie lub wykładzinie dywanowej należy tak wyregulować nóżki, aby pod pralką pozostawała wolna przestrzeń niezbędna dla wentylacji.

Podłączenia hydrauliczne i elektryczne

Podłączenie przewodu doprowadzającego wodę

1. Podłączyć przewód zasilający poprzez przykręcenie do zaworu wody zimnej z końcówką gwintowaną ¾ gas (patrz

rysunek).

Przed podłączeniem spuszczać wodę do momentu, aż stanie się ona całkowicie przezroczysta.

2. Podłączyć do maszyny przewód doprowadzający wodę, przykręcając go do odpowiedniego otworu dopływowego, znajdującego się w tylnej części pralki, z prawej strony u góry

(patrz rysunek).

3. Zwrócić uwagę, aby na przewodzie nie było zagięć ani zwężeń.

! Ciśnienie wody w kurku powinno mieścić się w prze-

dziale podanym w tabeli Danych technicznych (patrz strona obok).

! Jeśli długość przewodu doprowadzającego wodę jest

niewystarczająca, należy zwrócić się do specjalistycznego sklepu lub do autoryzowanego technika.

2. Jeśli podłoga nie jest idealnie pozioma, należy skompensować nierówności, odkręcając lub dokręcając przednie nóżki (patrz rysunek); kąt nachylenia, zmierzony na górnym blacie pralki nie powinien przekraczać 2°.

! Nigdy nie instalować już używanych przewodów.

! Stosować przewody znajdujące się w wyposażeniu

maszyny.

65 - 100 cm

Podłączenie przewodu odpływowego

Podłączyć przewód odpływowy, nie zginając go, do rury ściekowej lub do otworu odpływowego w ścianie, które powinny znajdować się na wysokości od 65 do 100 cm od podłogi;

! Nie używać przedłużaczy ani rozgałęźników.

! Przewód nie powinien być pozginany ani przygnieciony.

! Przewód zasilania elektrycznego może być wymieniany

wyłącznie przez autoryzowanych techników.

Uwaga! Producent nie ponosi żadnej odpowiedzialności w przypadku nieprzestrzegania powyższych zasad.

Pierwszy cykl prania

ewentualnie oprzeć go na brzegu zlewu lub wanny, przymocowując do kranu prowadnik, znajdujący się w wyposażeniu (patrz rysunek). Wolny koniec przewodu odpływowego nie powinien być zanurzony w wodzie.

! Odradza się stosowanie przewodów przedłużających;

jeśli to konieczne, przewód przedłużający powinien mieć taką samą średnicę jak oryginalny, a jego długość nie może przekraczać 150 cm.

Podłączenie elektryczne

Przed włożeniem wtyczki do gniazdka elektrycznego należy się upewnić, czy:

• gniazdko posiada uziemienie i jest zgodne z obowiązującymi przepisami;

• gniazdko jest w stanie wytrzymać maksymalne obciążenie mocy maszyny, wskazane w tabeli Danych technicznych (patrz obok);

• napięcie zasilania mieści się w wartościach wskazanych w tabeli Danych technicznych (patrz obok);

• gniazdko pasuje do wtyczki pralki. W przeciwnym razie należy wymienić gniazdko lub wtyczkę.

! Nie należy instalować pralki na otwartym powietrzu, na-

wet w osłoniętym miejscu, gdyż wystawienie urządzenia na działanie deszczu i burz jest bardzo niebezpieczne.

! Po zainstalowaniu pralki gniazdko elektryczne powinno

być łatwo dostępne.

Po zainstalowaniu pralki, przed przystąpieniem do jej użytkowania, należy wykonać jeden cykl prania ze środkiem piorącym, ale bez wsadu, nastawiając program “OPCJA CZYSZCZENIA PRALKI” (patrz „Czyszczenie pralki”).
