The cycle duration indicated on the display or instruction manual is an estimate based on standard conditions. The actual duration may vary in relation to several factors, such as the temperature and pressure of the incoming water, ambient temperature, amount of detergent, load quantity and type, load balancing and any additional options selected. The values given for programmes other than the Eco 40-60 programme are indicative only.

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.
option for very dirty items, where compatible.
DOOR LOCKED INDICATOR
When lit, the symbol indicates that the door is locked. To prevent any damage, wait until the symbol turns o before opening the door. To open the door while a cycle is in progress, press the START/PAUSE button; if the indicator light is o, the door can be opened.
FIRSTTIME USE
Once the appliance has been installed, and before it is used for the rst time, run a wash cycle with detergent and no laundry, by setting the “2” cycle.
DAILY USE
Prepare the laundry by following the suggestions appearing under the “TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS” section.
The option saves energy by not heating the water used to wash your laundry - an advantage both to the environment and to your energy bill. Instead, intensied wash action and water optimisation ensure great wash results in the same average time of a standard cycle. For the best washing results we recommend the usage of a liquid detergent.
Temperature
Turn the TEMPERATURE knob to set the wash temperature (see Wash Cycle Table). 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.
Spin
Turn the SPIN SPEED knob to set the spin speed for the selected wash cycle. 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.
TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
Divide the laundry according to:
Type of fabric (cotton, mixed bres, synthetics, wool, garments to be hand-washed). Colour (separate coloured garments from whites, wash new coloured garments separately). Delicates (small garments – such as nylon stockings – and items with hooks – such as bras: insert them in a fabric bag).
Empty the pockets:
Objects such as coins or lighters can damage the washing machine and the drum. Check all buttons. Follow the dosage recommendation / additives It optimizes the cleaning result, it avoids irritating residues of surplus detergent in your laundry and it saves money by avoiding waste of surplus detergent. Use low temperature and longer duration The most ecient programmes in terms of energy consumption are generally those that perform at lower temperatures and longer duration. Observe the load sizes Load your washing machine up to the capacity indicated in the “Wash Cycle Table” table to save water and energy. Noise and remaining moisture content They are inuenced by the spinning speed: the higher the spinning speed in the spinning phase, the higher the noise and the lower the remaining moisture content.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Before performing cleaning and maintenance, switch the washing machine o and disconnect it from the mains power. Do not use ammable liquids to clean the washing machine. Clean and maintain your washing machine periodically (at least 4 times per year).
Disconnect the water and power supplies Close the water tap after every wash. 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. Clean 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. Clean the detergent dispenser drawer Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently. Care for the door and drum Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odours from forming. Clean the pump The washing machine is tted with a auto-cleaning pump that does not require any maintenance. Small items (such as coins or buttons) may sometimes fall into the protective pre-chamber situated at the base of the pump. ! Make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug the appliance. To access the pre-chamber:
1. remove the cover panel on the front of the machine by rst pressing it in the centre then pushing downwards on both sides to extract it;
2. loosen the drainage pump cover by turning it anti-clockwise: it is normal for some water to leak out;
3. clean the inside thoroughly;
4. screw the cover back on;
5. put the panel back in place, making sure the hooks slot in place before pushing the panel onto the appliance. Check the water inlet hose Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If it is cracked or broken, it must be replaced: during wash cycles, the high pressure of the water could suddenly split the hose open. ! Never use hoses that have already been used.
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.
ACCESSORIES
Contact our Technical Assistance Service to check whether the following accessories are available for this washing machine model.
Stacking kit
With this accessory you can secure the tumble dryer to the upper part of your washing machine to save space and facilitate loading and unloading of the tumble dryer.
TRANSPORT AND HANDLING
Do not lift the washing machine by gripping it from the upper section.
Unplug the appliance and close the water tap. Check that the door and detergent dispenser drawer are tightly closed. Detach the lling hose from the water tap then detach the drain hose. Empty all the water remaining in the hoses and secure the latter so that they do not get damaged during transport. Apply the transport bolts back on. Repeat, in reverse order, the transport bolt removal procedure described in the “Health & Safety and Installation Guides”.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The washing machine may occasionally fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Service, make sure that the problem cannot be easily solved using the following list.
Anomalies Possible causes / Solution
The washing machine does not start.
The wash cycle does not start.
The washing machine does not ll with water (“H2O” ashes on the display).
The washing machine continuously loads and unloads water.
The washing machine does not drain or spin.
The washing machine vibrates a lot during the spin cycle.
The washing machine leaks.
The “Options” indicator lights and the START/PAUSE indicator light ash, while one of the “phase in progress” indicator lights and the “door locked” indicator light will remain lit in a xed manner.
There is too much foam.
The appliance is not plugged into the socket, or not suciently to make contact.
There is no power in the house.
The washing machine door is not closed properly.
The ON/OFF button has not been pressed.
The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.
The water tap has not been opened.
A delay has been set for the start time.
The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap.
The hose is bent.
The water tap has not been opened.
There is no water supply in the house.

If the problem persists even after these checks, turn o the water tap, switch the appliance o and contact the Technical Assistance Service. If the home is on one of the upper oors of a building, there may be problems relating to back-siphonage, causing the washing machine to ll with water and drain continuously. Special anti-siphon valves are available in shops and help to prevent this inconvenience.
The cycle does not include drainage: with certain cycles it must be started manually.
The drain hose is bent.
The drainage duct is clogged.
The drum was not unlocked correctly during installation.
The washing machine is not level.
The washing machine is tucked between furniture cabinets and the wall.
The water inlet hose is not screwed on properly.
