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 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 figu-

re).

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.

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.

! 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 number “Auto Clean” (see “Clea-

ning the washing machine”).

Technical data

! 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.

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 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.

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);

2. unscrew the lid by rotating it anticlockwise (see figu- re): a little water may trickle out. This is perfectly normal;

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.

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.

Cycle duration

* If you select programme and exclude the spin cycle, the machine will drain only.

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 4 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 4 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 4 with a temperature of 40°C.

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

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. Whites: use this cycle 2 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: use programme 6 to remove major allergens such as pollen, mites, cat’s and dog’s hair. Baby: use the special wash cycle 7 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.

Eco cycles

The Eco Cycles assure energy saving by eliminating the need of heating water and it’s an advantage both to your energy bill and the environment! These innovative Eco programmes (

Eco Cottons,

Eco Synthetics and

Eco Fast 30’) are available for various fabrics and different quantity of garment; they have been designed to guarantee a high cleaning action even at low temperature and can be used for lightly to medium soiled loads. Eco Cycles give the best results thanks to an intensified wash action, water optimization and are carried out in the same average time of a standard cycle. For the best washing results with Eco Cycles we recommend the usage of a liquid detergent.

Cotton 20°: the programme 11 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.

Personalisation

Setting the temperature

Turn the TEMPERATURE knob to set the wash temperature (see Table of wash cycles). The temperature may be lowered, or even set to a cold wash ( ). The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a temperature which is higher than the maximum value set for each wash cycle.

! Exception: if the

programme is selected, the temperature can be increased up to a value of 90°C.

Setting the spin speed

Turn the SPIN SPEED knob to set the spin speed for the selected wash cycle. The maximum spin speeds available for each wash cycle are as follows:

Wash cycles Maximum spin speed

Cottons 1200 rpm Synthetics 1000 rpm Wool 800 rpm Silk drain only

The spin speed may be lowered, or the spin cycle can be excluded altogether by selecting the symbol . The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a spin speed which is higher than the maximum speed set for each wash cycle.

Functions

The various wash functions available with this washing machine will help to achieve the desired results, every time. To activate the functions:

1. Press the button corresponding to the desired function;

2. the function is enabled when the corresponding indicator light is illuminated.

Note:

- If the selected function is not compatible with the programmed wash cycle, the corresponding indicator light will flash and a sound alert (3 beeps); the function will not be activated.

- If a function which is incompatible with another function selected previously, only the most recent selection will remain active.

Super Wash

This option offers a high-performance wash due to the greater quantity of water used in the initial phase of the cycle, and due to the increased wash cycle duration, is particularly useful for the removal of 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).

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 indicator light will flash and the phase will remain lit in a fixed manner. To end the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button or the EASY IRON button.

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.

Delay timer

This timer delays the start time of the wash cycle by up to 12 hours. Press the button repeatedly until the indicator light corresponding to the desired delay time switches on. The fifth time the button is pressed, the function will be disabled. N.B. Once you have pressed the START/PAUSE button, the delay time may only be decreased if you wish to modify it.

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 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 because these

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

Garments requiring special care

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.

In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade mark is a Certification trade mark.

Delicates: use programme 9 to wash very delicate gar- ments 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. To wash silk garments and curtains select cycle 9 and then function ; the machine will end the cycle while the laundry is soaking and the indicator light will flash. To drain the water so that the laundry may be removed, press the START/PAUSE button or the button.

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.

•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 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 900-1200 g 1 towel 150-250 g

Instalare

! Este important să păstraţi acest manual pentru a-l putea consulta în orice moment. În caz de vânzare, de cesiune sau de schimbare a locuinţei, acesta trebuie să rămână împreună cu maşina de spălat pentru a informa noul proprietar cu privire la funcţionare şi la respectivele avertismente.

! Citiţi cu atenţie instrucţiunile: veţi găsi informaţii importante cu privire la instalare, la folosire şi la siguranţă.

Despachetare şi punere la nivel

Despachetare

1. Scoaterea din ambalaj a maşinii de spălat.

2. Controlaţi ca maşina de spălat să nu  fost deteriorată în timpul transportului. Dacă este deteriorată, nu o conectaţi şi contactaţi agentul de vânzare.

3. Scoateţi cele 3 şuruburi de protecţie pentru transport şi cauciucul cu distanţierul respectiv, situate în partea posterioară (a se vedea gura).

4. Închideţi oriciile cu dopurile din plastic aate în dotaţie.

5. Păstraţi toate piesele: pentru cazul în care maşina de spălat va trebui să e transportată, piesele vor trebui montante din nou.

! Ambalajele nu sunt jucării pentru copii!

re (a se vedea gura); unghiul de înclinare, măsurat pe planul de lucru, nu trebuie să depăşească 2°. O nivelare precisă conferă stabilitate maşinii şi evită vibraţii, zgomote şi deplasări pe timpul funcţionării. În cazul mochetelor sau a unui covor, reglaţi picioruşele astfel încât să menţineţi sub maşina de spălat un spaţiu sucient pentru ventilare.

Racorduri hidraulice şi electrice

Racordarea furtunului de alimentare cu apă

1. Conectaţi furtunul de alimentare, înşurubându-l la un robinet de apă rece cu gura letată de 3/4 gaz (a se vedea

gura).

Înainte de conectare, lăsaţi apa să curgă până când nu a deve-

nit limpede.

2. Conectaţi tubul de alimentare la maşina de spălat, înşurubândul la priza de apă respectivă, amplasată în partea posterioară, sus în

dreapta (a se vedea

gura).

3. Fiţi atenţi ca furtunul să nu e nici pliat, nici îndoit.

Punere la nivel

1. Instalaţi maşina de spălat pe un paviment plan şi rigid, fără a o sprijini de ziduri, mobilă sau altceva.

2. Dacă podeaua nu este perfect orizontală, compensaţi neregularităţile deşurubând sau înşurubând picioruşele anterioa-

! Presiunea apei de la robinet trebuie să e cuprinsă în valorile din tabelul cu Date tehni-

ce (a se vedea pagina alăturată).

! Dacă lungimea furtunului de alimentare nu este sucientă, adresaţivă unui magazin specializat sau unui instalator autorizat.

! Nu folosiţi niciodată tuburi folosite deja.

! Utilizaţi tuburile furnizate cu maşina.

Conectarea furtunului de golire

65 - 100 cm

Conectaţi furtunul de evacuare, fără al îndoi, la o conductă sau la o gură de evacuare în zid, situate între 65 şi 100 cm de pământ;

sau sprijiniţil pe marginea unei chiuvete sau a unei căzi, legând elementul de ghidare la robinet (a se vedea gura). Capătul liber al furtunului de golire nu trebuie să rămână cufundat în apă.

! Nu se recomandă folosirea furtunurilor prelungitoare; dacă este indispensabil, acestea trebuie să aibă acelaşi diametru ca şi furtunul original şi nu trebuie să depăşească 150 cm lungime.

Racordarea electrică

Înainte de a introduce ştecherul în priza de curent, asiguraţi-vă că:

• priza să e cu împământare şi conformă prevederilor legale;

• priza să poată suporta sarcina maximă de putere a maşinii, indicată în tabelul cu Date tehnice (a se vedea alături);

• tensiunea de alimentare să e cuprinsă în valorile indicate în tabelul cu Date tehnice (a se vedea alături);

• priza să e compatibilă cu ştecărul maşinii de spălat. În caz contrar înlocuiţi priza sau ştecărul.

! Maşina de spălat nu trebuie instalată afară, nici chiar în cazul în care spaţiul este adăpostit, deoarece este foarte periculoasă expunerea maşinii la ploi şi furtuni. ! După instalarea maşinii de spălat, priza de curent trebuie să e uşor accesibilă.

! Nu folosiţi prelungitoare şi prize multiple. ! Cablul nu trebuie să e îndoit sau compri-

mat.

! Cablul de alimentare trebuie să e înlocuit doar de instalatorii autorizaţi.

Atenţie! Firma îşi declină orice responsabilitate în cazul în care aceste norme nu se respectă.

Primul ciclu de spălare

După instalare, înainte de folosire, efectuaţi un ciclu de spălare cu detergent şi fără rufe, selectând programul „AUTOCURĂŢARE” (a

se vedea “Curăţarea maşinii de spălat”).
