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 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 number “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 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 directive 1061/2010: set wash cycle 3 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 directive 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.

3) At 60 °C the “Prewash” function cannot be selected.

For all Test Institutes:

2) Long wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle 4 with a temperature of 40°C. 4) Long wash cycle for synthetics: set wash cycle 5 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.

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.

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.

		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.

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

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 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. 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. (M1128)

Delicates: use programme 9 to wash very delicate garments having strasses or sequins.

To wash silk garments and curtains select the cycle 9 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.

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 Standard 20° 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.

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.

Instalare

	RO	! 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 fi
		fost deteriorată în timpul transportului. Dacă
		este deteriorată, nu o conectaţi şi contactaţi
		agentul de vânzare.
		3. Scoateţi cele

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 anterioare

(a se vedea figura); 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 suficient pentru ventilare.

Racorduri hidraulice şi electrice

! 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 fie 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 fie cuprinsă în valorile indicate în tabelul cu Date tehnice (a se vedea alături);

• priza să fie 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 fie uşor accesibilă.

	! Nu folosiţi prelungitoare şi prize multiple.
