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:
•thesocketisearthedandcomplieswithall
applicable laws;
•thesocketisabletowithstandthemaximum
power load of the appliance as indicated in
the Technical data table (see opposite);
•thepowersupplyvoltagefallswithinthe

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
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 (seefigu-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
•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

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

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.

Troubleshooting
Your washing machine could fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre (see “Assistance”), make sure
that the problem cannot be not solved easily using the following list.
Problem:
The washing machine does not
switch on.
The wash cycle does not start.
The washing machine does not
take in water (“H2O” will flash on
the display).
The washing machine continuously
takes in and drains water.
If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water tap, switch
the appliance off and contact the Assistance Service. If the dwelling is on one of
the upper floors of a building, there may be problems relating to water drainage,
causing the washing machine to fill with water and drain continuously. Special
anti-draining valves are available in shops and help to avoid this inconvenience.
GB
The washing machine does not
drain or spin.
The washing machine vibrates a lot
during the spin cycle.
The washing machine leaks.
The “function” indicator lights and
the “start/pause” indicator light flash,
while one of the “phase in progress”
indicator lights and the “door locked”
indicator light will remain lit in a fixed
manner.
