Installation
A
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. 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).
! 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
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.
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;
! Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.
! 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 regulations are not respected.
The first wash cycle
GB
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.
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 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.
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.
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-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);

Personalisation
Setting the temperature
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 1200 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.

Delay timer
To set a delayed start for the selected programme, press the corresponding button repeatedly until the required delay period has been reached. When this option is enabled, the symbol lights up on the display. To remove the delayed start option press the button until the text “OFF” appears on the display.
Enable the 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.
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.
option for very dirty items, where compatible. Press this option to let the cycle automatically re-adjust

GB
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.
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 1 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 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.
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 ma-
nufacturer’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
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 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.
