Installation

! This instruction manual should be kept in a safe GB 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

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 “Auto Clean” (see “Cleaning the washing machine”).

Care and maintenance

		Cutting off the water and electri-
	GB
		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 pre-
		vent 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 70 minutes.

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.

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:

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 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 duration of the wash cycle can be checked on the display.

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.

Wash options

-If the selected option is not compatible with the programmed wash cycle, the indicator light will flash and the option will not be activated.

-If the selected option is not compatible with another option which has been selected previously, the indicator light corresponding to the first option selected will flash and only the second option 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 readjust 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.

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 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.

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

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.

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 double or 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 programme 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 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.

		1. Ta ur tvättmaskinen ur förpackningen.
		2. Kontrollera att tvättmaskinen inte skadats
		under transporten. Om det skulle finnas ska-
		dor ska du inte ansluta den utan kontakta
		återförsäljaren.
		3. Ta bort de 4 skru-
		varna, som skyddat
		maskinen under tran-
		sporten, samt gum-
		midelen med dess
		avståndsbricka, som
		sitter på bakstycket
		(se figur).

4.Stäng igen hålen med de medföljande plastpluggarna.

5.Spar alla delar: Om tvättmaskinen måste flyttas ska de monteras tillbaka.

! Emballagematerialet ska inte användas som leksaker för barn.

Nivellering

1. Installera tvättmaskinen på ett hårt och jämnt underlag utan att stödja den mot väggar, möbler eller annat.

2. Om golvet inte skulle vara fullständigt plant kan ojämnheten kompenseras genom att de främre fötterna dras åt eller lossas (se figur). Lutningsvinkeln, mätt på arbetsplanet, får inte överstiga 2°.

En ordentligt utförd nivellering ger maskinen stabilitet och hindrar uppkomsten av vibrationer, buller samt att maskinen flyttar sig under användningen. Om golvet har heltäckningsmatta eller en annan matta ska fötterna justeras på så sätt att det finns tillräckligt utrymme under tvättmaskinen för ventilationen.

Anslutningar av vatten och el

Anslutning av vatteninloppsslangen

1. Anslut inloppslangens ände och skruva fast den på en kallvattenkran som har en öppning med 3/4 gasgänga (se figur).

Innan du ansluter slangen ska du låta vattnet rinna tills det är helt klart.

2. Anslut inloppsslangen till tvättmaskinen genom att skruva fast den till det avsedda vattenuttaget i den bakre delen uppe till höger (se figur).

3. Se till att slangen inte har några veck eller är hopklämd.

! Kranens vattentryck måste befinna sig inom de värden som finns i tabellen över Tekniska Data (se sidan intill).

!Om längden på inloppsslangen inte är tillräcklig ska du vända dig till fackhandeln eller en auktoriserad tekniker.

!Använd aldrig begagnade slangar.

!Använd slangarna som följer med maskinen.

14

Anslutning av avloppsslang

65 - 100 cm

Anslut avloppsslangen, utan att böja den, till en avloppsledning eller ett väggavlopp som är placerat på en höjd mellan 65 och 100 cm från golvet,

eller lägg den i ett handfat eller ett badkar och bind fast den bifogade skenan på kranen (se figur). Den fria slangänden får inte vara nedsänkt i vatten.

! Vi avråder från att använda förlängningsslangar; om det ändå skulle vara nödvändigt måste förlängningsslangen ha samma diameter som originalslangen och den får inte vara längre än 150 cm.

Elektrisk anslutning

Innan du sätter i kontakten i uttaget ska du försäkra dig om att:

•Vägguttaget är jordanslutet och i enlighet med gällande standard.

•Uttaget klarar maskinens maxeffekt som anges i tabellen över Tekniska Data (se intill).

•Spänningstillförseln befinner sig inom de värden som anges i tabellen över Tekniska Data (se intill).

•Uttaget passar ihop med tvättmaskinens stickkontakt. Om det inte förhåller sig på detta vis ska du byta ut uttaget eller kontakten.

!Tvättmaskinen får inte installeras utomhus, inte ens om installationsplatsen skyddas av ett tak, eftersom det är mycket farligt att utsätta den för regn och oväder.

!När tvättmaskinen har installerats ska strömuttaget vara lättåtkomligt.

! Använd inte skarvsladdar eller grenuttag.	SE

!Kabeln ska inte böjas eller klämmas.

!Driftsladden får endast bytas ut av behöriga tekniker.

OBS! Företaget avsäger sig allt ansvar om dessa föreskrifter inte respekteras.

Första tvättcykeln

Efter installationen, innan du börjar använda maskinen, ska du köra en tvättcykel med tvättmedel men utan tvättgods, genom att ställa in programmet “AUTO RENGÖRING”

(se “Rengöring av tvättmaskinen”).

Underhåll och skötsel

		Avstängning av vatten och el
	SE
		• Stäng av vattenkranen efter varje tvätt. På
		så sätt begränsas slitaget av tvättmaskinens
		vattensystem och risken för läckage undviks.
		• Ta ur kontakten ur uttaget när du gör rent
		tvättmaskinen och under underhållsingrep-
		pen.
		Rengöring av tvättmaskinen

•De yttre delarna och gummidelarna kan göras rent med en trasa indränkt med ljummen tvållösning. Använd inte lösningsmedel eller slipmedel.

•Tvättmaskinen är försedd med ett “AUTO

RENGÖRING” program för de invändiga delarna. Detta program ska köras utan någon typ

av last i trumman.

Tvättmedel (med en mängd på 10 % av rekommenderad mängd för mycket smutsiga plagg) eller specifika tillsatser kan användas som tvätthjälpmedel i engöringsprogrammet. Det rekommenderas att köra rengöringsprogrammet var 40:e tvättcykel.

För att starta programmet, tryck samtidigt ned knapparna A och B i 5 sek (se figuren). Programmet startar automatiskt och varar cirka 70 minuter.

A

B

Rengöring av tvättmedelslådan

Dra ut facket genom att lyfta upp det och dra det utåt (se figur). Tvätta det under rinnande vatten. Denna rengöring ska utföras ofta.

Skötsel av luckan och trumman

•Lämna alltid luckan på glänt för att hindra att dålig lukt bildas.

Rengöring av pumpen

Tvättmaskinen är försedd med en självrengörande pump som inte behöver något underhåll. Det kan dock hända att små föremål (mynt, knappar) faller ned i förkammaren, som skyddar pumpen, och som är placerad i dess nedre del.

! Försäkra dig om att tvättcykeln är avslutad och ta ur kontakten.

För att komma åt förkammaren:

1. Ta bort skyddspanelen på tvättmaskinens framsida med hjälp av en skruvmejsel (se figur).

2. Lossa locket genom att vrida det moturs (se figur): Det är normalt att lite vatten rinner ut.

3.Gör rent insidan noggrant.

4.Skruva tillbaka locket.

5.Montera tillbaka panelen, och försäkra dig om att krokarna förts in i de avsedda hålen, innan du skjuter den mot maskinen.

Kontrollera vatteninloppsslangen

Kontrollera inloppsslangen minst en gång om året. Om den har sprickor eller skåror ska den bytas ut: Under tvättcyklerna kan plötsliga brott uppstå på grund av det starka trycket.

! Använd aldrig begagnade slangar.
