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 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 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 with a 3/4 gas threaded mouth (see

figure).

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.

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°.

! 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

! Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.

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.

! The cable should not be bent or compressed.

! The power supply cable must only be repla-

ced 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 the wash cycle “Auto Clean” (see “Cleaning the

washing machine”).

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.

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 75 minutes. To stop the cycle press the START/PAUSE button.

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 protective pre-chamber at the base of the pump.

! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug the appliance.

To access the pre-chamber:

1. Take off the cover panel on the front of the machine by first pressing it in the centre and then pushing downwards on both sides until you can remove it (see figures).

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

To remove the drawer, press lever (1) and pull the drawer outwards (2)

(see figure).

Wash it under running water; this procedure 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.

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.

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 can be used by children aged

from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

• 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

regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.

• TheEuropeanDirective2012/19/EU-WEEE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.

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.

Thisoptionallowsforselectingthetypeofdirtsoastooptimallyadjustthecycleforremovingthestains.Thefollowingtypes

of dirt can be selected:

- Food, for stains caused by foodstuffs and beverages, for example.

- Work, for grease and ink stains, for example.

- Outdoor, for mud and grass stains, for example.

! The wash cycle duration varies according to the type of selected dirt.

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.

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

Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser drawer

Successful 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. ! Do not use hand washing detergents because these create too much foam. ! 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.

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

Compartment 1: Do not pour detergent into the middle compartment 1.

Compartment 2: Washing detergent (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 must not exceed the “max” level indicated on the central pin.

Delicates: use programme 4 to wash very delicate garments. It is advisable to turn the garments inside out before washing them. For best results, use liquid detergent on delicate garments. For washing Silk items and Curtains, select the relevant cycle and activate the option ; the machine will end the cycle with the laundry soaked and the indicator light will flash. To drain the water so that the laundry can be removed, press the START/PAUSE button ro the option .

Mixed: a 40°C cycle for washing cotton and synthetic garments together. Suitable for lightly soiled underwear. Sport (programme 11) is designed for washing lightly soiled sports clothing (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the “Programme table”. We recommend using liquid detergent, and adding the amount suitable for a half-load.

Duvet: to wash single duvet (the weight of which should not

exceed 1 kg), cushions or clothes padded with goose down such as puffa jackets, use the special wash cycle number 12. We recommend that duvets are placed in the drum with their edges folded inwards (see figure) and that no more than ¾ of the total volume of the drum is used. To achieve the best results, we recommend that a liquid detergent is used and placed inside the detergent dispenser drawer.
