Installation

! 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 tab using a 3/4 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°.

! 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.

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;

! 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

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);

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.

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.

Open the detergent

dispenser drawer and pour in the detergent or washing additive, as follows.

compartment 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder)

Before pouring in the detergent, make sure that extra compartment 4 has been removed.

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.

extra compartment 4: Bleach

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. 7 kg Synthetic fabrics: max. 3 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

Silk: use special wash cycle 7 to wash all silk garments. We recommend the use of special detergent which has been designed to wash delicate clothes.

Curtains:

case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle 7. Jeans: Turn garments inside-out before washing and use a liquid detergent. Use programme 8. Express: 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 ( wash different fabrics together (except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 1.5 kg.

Outwear

water-r epellent fabrics and winter jackets (e.g. Gor eT ex, polyester, nylon); for best results, use a liquid detergent and dosage suitable for a half-load; pretreat necks, cuffs and stains if necessary; do not use softeners or detergents containing softeners. Stuffed

duvets cannot be washed with this programme.

Sport Intensive ( 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 ( soiled sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the "T able of wash cycles".

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.
