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 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.
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.
! 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°.
2
! 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.
65 - 100 cm
Connecting the drain hose
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.
! 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 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 “Auto Clean” (see “Cleaning the washing
machine”).
Technical data
GB
! 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 withall
applicable laws;
•thesocketisabletowithstandthemaximum
power load of the appliance as indicated in the
Technical data table (see opposite);
•thepowersupplyvoltagefallswithinthevalues
indicated in the Technical data table (see opposite);
•thesocketiscompatiblewiththeplugofthe
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.

Care and maintenance
GB
Cutting off the water and electricity supplies
•Turnoffthewatertapaftereverywashcycle.
This will limit wear on the hydraulic system
inside the washing machine and help to prevent leaks.
•Unplugthewashingmachinewhencleaning
it and during all maintenance work.
Cleaning the washing machine
•Theouter partsand rubber componentsof
the appliance can be cleaned using a soft cloth
soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use
solvents or abrasives.
• Thewashingmachinehasa “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 70 minutes.
Caring for the door and drum of
your appliance
•Alwaysleavetheportholedoorajarinorder
to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.
Cleaning the pump
The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning 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);
A
B
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.
2. unscrew the lid
by rotating it anticlockwise (see figu-
re): 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.

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.

Detergent dispenser drawer
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 environmental 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.
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.
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.
Special wash cycles
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 3,5 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.
Preparing the laundry
•Dividethelaundryaccordingto:
- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label
- the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.
•Emptyallgarmentpocketsandcheckthebuttons.
•Donotexceedthevalueslistedinthe“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
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.
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 2 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.

Installazione
IT
! È importante conservare questo libretto per
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 4 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.
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.
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°.
14
! 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.
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;
! Il cavo di alimentazione deve essere sostituito
solo da tecnici autorizzati.
Attenzione! L’azienda declina ogni responsabilità
qualora queste norme non vengano rispettate.
Primo ciclo di lavaggio
Dopo l’installazione, prima dell’uso, effettuare
un ciclo di lavaggio con detersivo e senza biancheria impostando il programma “Auto Pulizia”
(vedi “Pulire la lavabiancheria”).
IT
oppure appoggiarlo
al bordo di un lavandino o di una vasca,
legando la guida in
dotazione al
rubinetto (vedi figu-
ra). 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 nor-
ma di legge;
• la presa sia in grado di sopportare il carico
massimo di potenza della macchina, indi
cato 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’aper to, nemmeno se lo spazio è riparato, perché
è molto pericoloso lasciarla esposta a piog gia 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 com-
pressioni.

Manutenzione e cura
IT
Escludere acqua e corrente elettrica
• Chiudere il rubinetto dell’acqua dopo ogni
lavaggio. Si limita così l’usura dell’impianto
idraulico 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 additivi
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 programma premere contemporaneamente i tasti A e B per 5 sec. (vedi figura).
Il programma partirà automaticamente ed avrà una
durata di circa 70 minuti.
Pulire la pompa
La lavabiancheria 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
lavabiancheria 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;
A
B
Pulire il cassetto dei detersivi
Sfilare il cassetto sollevandolo e tirandolo
verso l’esterno (vedi
figura).
Lavarlo sotto l’acqua
corrente; questa pulizia
va effettuata frequentemente.
Curare oblò e cestello
• Lasciare sempre socchiuso l’oblò per evitare
che si formino cattivi odori.
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.
! Non utilizzare mai tubi già usati.

attentamente.
Sicurezza generale
• Questo apparecchio è stato concepito esclusivamente
per un uso di tipo domestico.
• Questo apparecchio può essere usato da
bambini da 8 anni in su e da persone con capacità fisiche, sensoriali o mentali ridotte o con
esperienza e conoscenze insufficienti se sono
supervisionati o se hanno ricevuto adeguata
formazione in merito all’uso dell’apparecchio
in modo sicuro e capendo i pericoli connessi.
I bambini non devono giocare con l’apparecchio. Manutenzione e pulizia non devono essere effettuati dai bambini senza supervisione.
• Non toccare la macchina a piedi nudi o con le mani o i
piedi bagnati o umidi.
• Non staccare la spina dalla presa della corrente tirando
il cavo, bensì afferrando la spina.
• Non aprire il cassetto dei detersivi mentre la macchina è
in funzione.
• Non toccare l’acqua di scarico, che può raggiungere
temperature elevate.
• Non forzare in nessun caso l’oblò: potrebbe danneggiarsi
il meccanismo di sicurezza che protegge da aperture
accidentali.
• In caso di guasto, in nessun caso accedere ai meccanismi
interni per tentare una riparazione.
• Controllare sempre che i bambini non si avvicinino alla
macchina in funzione.
• Durante il lavaggio l’oblò tende a scaldarsi.
• Se dev’essere spostata, lavorare in due o tre persone con
la massima attenzione. Mai da soli perché la macchina è
molto pesante.
• Prima di introdurre la biancheria controlla che il cestello
sia vuoto.
Il simbolo del cestino barrato è riportato su tutti i prodotti
per ricordare gli obblighi di raccolta separata.
Quando si acquista una nuova apparecchiatura equivalente si
può consegnare il RAEE al negoziante, che è tenuto a ritirarlo
gratuitamente; i RAEE di “piccolissime dimensioni” (nessun
lato sopra i 25 cm) possono essere consegnati gratuitamente
ai negozianti anche se non si acquista nulla (solo nei negozi
con superficie di vendita superiore a 400 mq). Per ulteriori
informazioni sulla corretta dismissione degli elettrodomestici
i detentori potranno rivolgersi al servizio pubblico preposto
o ai rivenditori.
IT
Smaltimento
• Smaltimento del materiale di imballaggio:
attenersi alle norme locali, così gli imballaggi potranno
essere riutilizzati.
• La direttiva Europea 2012/19/EU (WEEE) sui rifiuti di
apparecchia¬ture elettriche ed elettroniche (RAEE), prevede che gli elettrodo¬mestici non debbano essere smaltiti
nel normale flusso dei rifiuti solidi urbani. Gli apparecchi
dismessi devono essere raccolti separatamente per ottimizzare il tasso di recupero e riciclaggio dei materiali che
li compongono ed impedire potenziali danni per la salute
e l’ambiente.
