Installation

	GB	! 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 pro-
		tective screws (used
		during transportation)
		and the rubber washer
		with the corresponding
		spacer, located on the
		rear part of the applian-
		ce (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 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 righthand 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 values indicated in the Technical details 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 drainage duct or a wall drain located at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor;

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;

•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 be within easy reach.

! Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.	GB

!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 regulations are not respected.

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 2.

Care and maintenance

	GB	Cutting off the water and electri-
		city 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.

1. using a screwdriver, remove the cover panel on the lower front part of the washing machine (see figure);

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.

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.

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:

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.

* If you select programme 11 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 regulations 1061/2010: set wash cycle 15 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 regulations 1061/2010: set wash cycle 15 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 15 with a temperature of 40°C.

3)Long programme for synthetics: set programme 4, then select the “Extra Wash ” option.

Fast daily cycles

A complete set of fast programmes to wash the most commonly used fabrics - even with a full load - and to remove the most frequent daily dirt in less than 1 hour.

Colour Mix 59’: to wash mixed and coloured items together.

Cotton 59’: cycle designed to wash cotton garments - mainly white items. It can be used with powder detergent too. Cotton 45’: short cycle designed to wash delicate cotton items.

Synthetics 59’: specific for synthetic items. If the dirt is difficult to remove, the temperature can be increased up to 60° and powder detergent can be used too.

Mix 30’: short cycle designed to wash a mixed load of cotton and synthetic fabrics - white and coloured items together. Express 20’: this programme refreshes your items, making them perfumed again in just 20 minutes.

Personalisation

	Setting the temperature
					GB
	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 4 programme is selected, the temperature can be increased up to a value of 60°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	1400 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 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 option will remain lit.

Extra Wash

Enable the Extra Wash option for very dirty items, where compatible. Press this option to let the cycle automatically re-adjust all wash parameters through a longer lasting cycle. The option always leaves the temperature unchanged, while the spin cycle is automatically brought back to maximum levels. The user can set the spin cycle back to the desired value at any time.

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.

The option washes cotton and synthetic items, saving energy and helping the environment. Energy saving is due to a cold wash cycle, while an enhanced mechanical action and optimised water use make it possible to reach the desired result.

Recommended for slightly soiled garments. Use of liquid detergent recommended.

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 the START/PAUSE button has been pressed, the delay time can only be modified by decreasing it until launching the set programme.

Detergents and laundry

		Detergent dispenser drawer
	GB
		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 envi-
		ronmental pollution.
		! Do not use hand washing detergents because these create
		too much foam.
		! 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.

1

2

3

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

compartment 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder) compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle (powder or liquid)

Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately prior to the start of the wash cycle.

compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)

The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.

Note: If a “tablet detergent” is used, always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

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 values listed in the “Table of wash cycles”, which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry.

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

Gym Kit: cycle suitable to wash all sports items together, including gym towels, while respecting their fibres (follow the

instructions in the garment labels).

Sport Shoes: is for washing sports shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs simultaneously.

We recommend fastening any strings before introducing the shoes into the drum.

Baby: cycle designed for dirt typical of children’s garments in that it effectively removes any traces of residual detergent.

Duvet: to wash single duvets (the weight of which should not exceed 2.5 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.

Wool: all wool garments can be washed using programme 13, even those carrying the “hand-wash only” label. For best results, use special detergents and do not exceed 1,5 kg of laundry.

Silk: use special wash cycle 14 to wash all silk garments. We recommend the use of special detergent which has been designed to wash delicate clothes.

Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle 14.

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.

5.Conserver toutes ces pièces: il faudra les remonter en cas de transport du lave-linge.

! Les pièces d’emballage ne sont pas des jouets pour enfants.

Mise à niveau

1. Installer le lave-linge sur un sol plat et rigide, sans l’appuyer contre des murs, des meubles ou autre.

2. Si le sol n’est pas parfaitement horizontal, visser ou dévisser les pieds de réglage avant (voir figure) pour niveler l’appareil; son angle d’inclinaison, mesuré sur le plan de travail, ne doit pas dépasser 2°.

Une bonne mise à niveau garantit la stabilité de l’appareil et évite qu’il y ait des vibrations, du bruit et des déplacements en cours de fonctionnement. Si la machine est posée sur de la moquette ou un tapis, régler les pieds de manière à ce qu’il y ait suffisamment d’espace pour assurer une bonne ventilation.

Raccordements eau et électricité

Raccordement du tuyau d’arrivée de l’eau

1. Reliez le tuyau d’alimentation en le vissant à un robinet d’eau froide à embout fileté 3/4 gaz (voir figure).

Faire couler l’eau jusqu’à ce qu’elle soit limpide et sans impuretés avant de raccorder.

2. Raccorder le tuyau d’arrivée de l’eau au lave-linge en le vissant à la prise d’eau prévue, dans la partie arrière en haut à droite (voir figure).

3. Attention à ce que le tuyau ne soit pas plié ou écrasé.

!La pression de l’eau doit être comprise entre les valeurs indiquées dans le tableau des Caractéristiques techniques (voir page ci-contre).

!Si la longueur du tuyau d’alimentation ne suffit pas, s’adresser à un magasin spécialisé ou à un technicien agréé.

!N’utiliser que des tuyaux neufs.

!Utiliser ceux qui sont fournis avec l’appareil.

Raccordement du tuyau de vidange

65 - 100 cm

Raccorder le tuyau d’évacuation, sans le plier, à un conduit d’évacuation ou à une évacuation murale placés à une distance du sol comprise entre 65 et 100 cm;

ou bien l’accrocher à un évier ou à une baignoire, dans ce cas, fixer le support en plastique fourni avec l’appareil au robinet (voir figure). L’extrémité libre du tuyau d’évacuation ne doit pas être plongée dans l’eau.

! L’utilisation d’un tuyau de rallonge est absolument déconseillée mais si on ne peut faire autrement, il faut absolument qu’il ait le même diamètre que le tuyau original et sa longueur ne doit pas dépasser 150 cm.

Branchement électrique

Avant de brancher la fiche dans la prise de courant, s’assurer que:

•la prise est bien reliée à la terre et est conforme aux réglementations en vigueur;

•la prise est bien apte à supporter la puissance maximale de l’appareil indiquée dans le tableau des Caractéristiques techniques (voir ci-contre);

•la tension d’alimentation est bien comprise entre les valeurs figurant dans le tableau des Caractéristiques techniques (voir ci-contre);

•lapriseestbiencompatibleaveclafichedulavelinge. Autrement, remplacer la prise ou la fiche.

!Le lave-linge ne doit pas être installé dehors, même à l’abri, car il est très dangereux de le laisser exposé à la pluie et aux orages.

!Après installation du lave-linge, la prise de courant doit être facilement accessible.

! N’utiliser ni rallonges ni prises multiples.	FR

!Le câble ne doit être ni plié ni trop écrasé.

!Le câble d’alimentation ne doit être remplacé que par des techniciens agréés.

Attention! Nous déclinons toute responsabilité en cas de non-respect des normes énumérées ci-dessus.
