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 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 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 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 number “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.

A	B	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 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.

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 (12 Eco Cottons, 13 Eco Synthetics and 14 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.

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
	GB
		Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of
		detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessa-
		rily 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.

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: 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

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 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. 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.

Installazione

! È importante conservare questo libretto per IT poterlo consultare in ogni momento. In caso di

vendita, di cessione o di trasloco, assicurarsi che resti insieme alla lavabiancheria per informare il nuovo proprietario sul funzionamento e sui relativi avvertimenti.

! Leggere attentamente le istruzioni: ci sono importanti informazioni sull’installazione, sull’uso e sulla sicurezza.

Disimballo e livellamento

Disimballo

1.Disimballare la lavabiancheria.

2.Controllare che la lavabiancheria non abbia subìto danni nel trasporto. Se fosse danneggiata non collegarla e contattare il rivenditore.

3. Rimuovere le 3 viti di protezione per il trasporto e il gommino con il relativo distanziale, posti nella parte posteriore (vedi figura).

4.Chiudere i fori con i tappi di plastica in dotazione.

5.Conservare tutti i pezzi: qualora la lavabiancheria debba essere trasportata, dovranno essere rimontati.

! Gli imballaggi non sono giocattoli per bambini.

Livellamento

1. Installare la lavabiancheria su un pavimento piano e rigido, senza appoggiarla a muri, mobili o altro.

2. Se il pavimento non fosse perfettamente orizzontale, compensare le irregolarità

svitando o avvitando i piedini anteriori (vedi figura); l’angolo di inclinazione, misurato

sul piano di lavoro, non deve superare i 2°.

Un accurato livellamento dà stabilità alla macchina ed evita vibrazioni, rumori e spostamenti durante il funzionamento. In caso di moquette o di un tappeto, regolare i piedini in modo da conservare sotto la lavabiancheria uno spazio sufficiente per la ventilazione.

Collegamenti idraulici ed elettrici

Collegamento del tubo di alimentazione dell’acqua

1. Collegare il tubo di alimentazione avvitandolo a un rubinetto d’acqua fredda con bocca filettata da 3/4 gas

(vedi figura).

Prima di allacciare, far scorrere l’acqua finché non sia limpida.

2. Collegare il tubo di alimentazione alla lavabiancheria avvitandolo all’apposita presa d’acqua, nella parte posteriore in alto a destra (vedi figura).

3. Fare attenzione che nel tubo non ci siano né pieghe né strozzature.

! La pressione idrica del rubinetto deve essere compresa nei valori della tabella Dati tecnici (vedi pagina a fianco).

!Se la lunghezza del tubo di alimentazione non fosse sufficiente, rivolgersi a un negozio specializzato o a un tecnico autorizzato.

!Non utilizzare mai tubi già usati.

!Utilizzare quelli in dotazione alla macchina.

14

Collegamento del tubo di scarico

65 - 100 cm

Collegare il tubo di scarico, senza piegarlo, a una conduttura di scarico o a uno scarico a muro posti tra 65 e 100 cm da terra;

oppure appoggiarlo al bordo di un lavandino o di una vasca, legando la guida in dotazione al rubinetto (vedi figura). L’estremità libera del tubo di scarico non deve rimanere immersa nell’acqua.

! È sconsigliato usare tubi di prolunga; se indispensabile, la prolunga deve avere lo stesso diametro del tubo originale e non superare i 150 cm.

Collegamento elettrico

Prima di inserire la spina nella presa della corrente, accertarsi che:

•la presa abbia la messa a terra e sia a norma di legge;

•la presa sia in grado di sopportare il carico

massimo di potenza della macchina, indicato nella tabella Dati tecnici (vedi a fianco);

•la tensione di alimentazione sia compresa nei valori indicati nella tabella Dati tecnici (vedi a fianco);

•la presa sia compatibile con la spina della

lavabiancheria. In caso contrario sostituire la presa o la spina.

!La lavabiancheria non va installata all’aperto, nemmeno se lo spazio è riparato, perché è molto pericoloso lasciarla esposta a pioggia e temporali.

!A lavabiancheria installata, la presa della corrente deve essere facilmente raggiungibile.

!Non usare prolunghe e multiple.

!Il cavo non deve subire piegature o compressioni.

	! Il cavo di alimentazione deve essere sostituito
								IT
	solo da tecnici autorizzati.
	Attenzione! L’azienda declina ogni responsabi-
	lità qualora queste norme non vengano rispet-
	tate.
	Primo ciclo di lavaggio
	Dopo l’installazione, prima dell’uso, effettuare
	un ciclo di lavaggio con detersivo e senza bian-
	cheria impostando il programma “Auto Pulizia”
	(vedi “Pulire la lavabiancheria”).

Manutenzione e cura

		Escludere acqua e corrente elettrica
	IT
		• Chiudere il rubinetto dell’acqua dopo ogni la-
		vaggio. Si limita così l’usura dell’impianto idrau-
		lico della lavabiancheria e si elimina il pericolo di
		perdite.
		• Staccare la spina della corrente quando si
		pulisce la lavabiancheria e durante i lavori di
		manutenzione.

Pulire la lavabiancheria

•La parte esterna e le parti in gomma possono essere puliti con un panno imbevuto di acqua tiepida e sapone. Non usare solventi o abrasivi.

•La lavabiancheria è dotata di un programma di “Auto Pulizia” delle parti interne che deve essere effettuato senza alcun tipo di carico

nel cesto.

Il detersivo (nella quantità pari al 10% di quella consigliata per capi poco sporchi) o additi-

vi specifici per la pulizia della lavabiancheria, potranno essere utilizzati come coadiuvanti nel programma di lavaggio. Si consiglia di effettuare il programma di pulizia ogni 40 cicli di lavaggio.

Per attivare il program- A B ma premere contem-

poraneamente il tasto A e B per 5 sec. (vedi figura).

Il programma partirà automaticamente ed avrà una durata di circa 70 minuti. Per fermare

il ciclo premere il tasto START/PAUSE.

Pulire il cassetto dei detersivi

1

2

Sfilare il cassetto sollevandolo e tirandolo verso l’esterno (vedi figura).

Lavarlo sotto l’acqua corrente; questa pulizia va effettuata frequentemente.

Pulire la pompa

La macchina è dotata di una pompa autopulente che non ha bisogno di manutenzione. Può però succedere che piccoli oggetti (monete, bottoni) cadano nella precamera che protegge la pompa, situata nella parte inferiore di essa.

! Assicurarsi che il ciclo di lavaggio sia terminato e staccare la spina.

Per accedere alla precamera:

1. rimuovere il pannello di copertura sul lato anteriore della macchina con l’ausilio di un giravite (vedi figura);

2. svitare il coperchio ruotandolo in senso antiorario (vedi figura): è normale che fuoriesca un po’ d’acqua;

3.pulire accuratamente l’interno;

4.riavvitare il coperchio;

5.rimontare il pannello assicurandosi, prima di spingerlo verso la macchina, di aver inserito i ganci nelle apposite asole.

Controllare il tubo di alimentazione dell’acqua

Controllare il tubo di alimentazione almeno una volta all’anno. Se presenta screpolature e fessure va sostituito: durante i lavaggi le forti pressioni potrebbero provocare improvvise spaccature.

Curare oblò e cestello	! Non utilizzare mai tubi già usati.
• Lasciare sempre socchiuso l’oblò per evitare
che si formino cattivi odori.
