Installation

! This instruction manual should be kept in a safe place for GB 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 3 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 tab 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 right-hand 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.

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 directive 1061/2010: set wash cycle 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 directive 1061/2010: set wash cycle 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 with a temperature of 40°C.

3)Long wash cycle for synthetics: set wash cycle 6; with a temperature of 40°C.

Cotton Standard 20°C (wash cycle 7) ideal for heavily soiled cotton loads. The effective performance levels achieved at cold temperatures, which are comparable to washing at 40°, are guaranteed by a mechanical action which operates at varying speed, with repeated and frequent peaks.

Express (wash cycle 11) this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 15 minutes and therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting this wash cycle (11 at 30°C), it is possible to wash different fabrics together (except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 1,5 kg.

Sport Intensive (wash cycle 12) is for washing heavily soiled sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the “Table of wash cycles”.

Sport Light (wash cycle 13) is for washing lightly soiled sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the “Table of wash cycles”. We recommend using a liquid detergent and dosage suitable for a half-load.

Special Shoes (wash cycle 14) is for washing sports shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs simultaneously.

Personalisation

	Setting the temperature
					GB
	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.
	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	800 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 indicator light flashes rapidly, this signals that this particular function may not be selected in conjunction with the selected wash cycle.

Selecting this option enables you to suitably adjust drum rotation, temperature and water to a reduced load of lightly soiled cotton and synthetic fabrics (refer to the “Table of wash cycles”). “” enables you to wash in less time thereby saving water and electricity. We suggest using a liquid detergent suitably measured out to the load quantity.

! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, , .

The function saves energy by not heating the water used to wash your laundry - an advantage both to the environment and to your energy bill. Instead, intensified 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. ! It cannot be used with the 1, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, , .

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.

! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 11, .

Delay timer

This timer delays the start time of the wash cycle by up to 12 hours.

Press the button repeatedly until the indicator light corresponding to the desired delay time switches on. The fifth time the button is pressed, the function will be disabled.

N.B. Once the START/PAUSE button has been pressed, the delay time can only be modified by decreasing it until launching the set programme.

! This option is enabled with all programmes.

Detergents and laundry

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 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: setergent 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.

Garments requiring special care

Wool: all wool garments can be washed using programme 8, even those carrying the “hand-wash only” label. For best results, use special detergents and do not exceed 1,5 kg of laundry.

Silk: use special wash cycle 9 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 9.

Jeans: Turn garments inside-out before washing and use a liquid detergent. Use programme 10.

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.

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 listed values, which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry:

Durable fabrics: max. 6 kg Synthetic fabrics: max. 2,5 kg Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg Wool: max. 1,5 kg

Silk: max. 1 kg

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

Precautions and tips

! This washing machine was designed and constructed in

accordance with international safety regulations. The fol- GB lowing information is provided for safety reasons and must

therefore be read carefully.

General safety

•This appliance was designed for domestic use only.

•This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

•The washing machine must only be used by adults, in accordance with the instructions provided in this manual.

•Do not touch the machine when barefoot or with wet or damp hands or feet.

•Do not pull on the power supply cable when unplugging the appliance from the electricity socket. Hold the plug and pull.

•Do not open the detergent dispenser drawer while the machine is in operation.

•Do not touch the drained water as it may reach extremely high temperatures.

•Never force the porthole door. This could damage the safety lock mechanism designed to prevent accidental opening.

•If the appliance breaks down, do not under any circumstances access the internal mechanisms in an attempt to repair it yourself.

•Always keep children well away from the appliance while it is operating.

•The door can become quite hot during the wash cycle.

•If the appliance has to be moved, work in a group of two or three people and handle it with the utmost care. Never try to do this alone, because the appliance is very heavy.

•Before loading laundry into the washing machine, make sure the drum is empty.

Disposal

•Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.

•The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment. The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected. Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.

Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water and electricity GB 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 anti-clockwise (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.

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-cham- ber 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);

La duración del ciclo que se indica en el visor o en el manual es una estimación calculada en base a condiciones estándar. El tiempo efectivo puede variar en función de numerosos factores como la temperatura y la presión del agua de entrada, la temperatura ambiente, la cantidad de detergente, la cantidad y el tipo de carga, el equilibrado de la carga y las opciones adicionales seleccionadas.

1) Programa de control según la directiva 1061/2010: seleccione el programa con una temperatura de 60ºC.

Este ciclo es adecuado para limpiar una carga de algodón normalmente sucia, es el más eficiente en lo que se refiere al consumo combinado con la energía y la cantidad de agua y se usa con prendas lavables a 60ºC. La temperatura efectiva de lavado puede diferir de la indicada.

2) Programa de control según la directiva 1061/2010: seleccione el programa con una temperatura de 40ºC.

Este ciclo es adecuado para limpiar una carga de algodón normalmente sucia, es el más eficiente en lo que se refiere al consumo combinado con la energía y la cantidad de agua y se usa con prendas lavables a 40ºC. La temperatura efectiva de lavado puede diferir de la indicada.

Para todos los Test Institutes:

2)Programa algodón largo: seleccione el programa con una temperatura de 40ºC.

3)Programa sintético largo: seleccione el programa 6 con una temperatura de 40ºC.

Programa normal de algodón a 20 °C (programa 7) ideal para cargas de prendas de algodón sucias. Los buenos rendimientos aún en frío, comparables con los de un lavado a 40º, están garantizados por una acción mecánica que trabaja con variación de velocidad con picos repetidos y cercanos.

Express (programa 11) fue estudiado para lavar prendas ligeramente sucias y en poco tiempo: dura sólo 15 minutos y de esa manera permite ahorrar energía y tiempo. Seleccionando el programa (11 a 30ºC) es posible lavar conjuntamente tejidos de distinto tipo (excluidas lana y seda), con una carga máxima de 1,5 kg.

Sport Intensive (programa 12) ha sido estudiado para lavar tejidos usados en prendas deportivas (chándales, pantalones cortos, etc.) muy sucios; para obtener los mejores resultados es aconsejable no superar la carga máxima indicada en la

“Tabla de programas”.

Sport Light (programa 13) ha sido estudiado para lavar tejidos usados en prendas deportivas (chándales, pantalones cortos, etc.) poco sucios; para obtener los mejores resultados es aconsejable no superar la carga máxima indicada en la “Tabla de programas”. Se recomienda utilizar detergente líquido y la dosis correspondiente a la media carga.

Special Shoes (programa 14) ha sido estudiado para lavar calzado deportivo; para obtener los mejores resultados no lave más de 2 pares a la vez.
