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 infor-

mation 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.

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 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.

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°.

! 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 replaced by autho-

rised 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);

Wash options

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.

! It cannot be used with the 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13,

, , programmes.

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, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, , ,

programmes.

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.

! It cannot be used in conjunction with the 9, ,

programmes.

Mini load

This option is recommended for when the load of laundry is equal to half, or less than half, of the maximum recommended load (see Table of wash cycles).

! It cannot be used with the 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, ,

programmes.

Detergents and laundry

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.

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.

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. 8 kg Synthetic fabrics: max. 3,5 kg Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg Wool: max. 2 kg

Silk: max. 2 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

Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow 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 (9 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. Outwear ( repellent fabrics and winter jackets (e.g. Gore-Tex, polyester, nylon); for best results, use a liquid detergent and dosage suitable for a half-load; pre-treat necks, cuffs and stains if necessary; do not use softeners or detergents containing softeners. Stuffed duvets cannot

be washed with this programme.

Sport Intensive ( 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 ( sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the “Table of wash cycles”. We recom- mend using a liquid detergent and dosage suitable for a half-load. Sport Shoes ( shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs simultaneously.

wash cycle

10): is studied for washing water-

11): is for washing heavily

12): is for washing lightly soiled

13): is for washing sports

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.

Special wash cycles

Wool: All wool garments can be washed using programme

6, 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 7 to wash all silk garments. We recommend the use of special detergent which has been designed to wash delicate clothes.

Precautions and tips

! This washing machine was designed and constructed in

accordance with international safety regulations. The following 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(inclu-

ding children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental

capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless

they have been given supervision or instruction concer-

ning 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.

• 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extreme-

ly 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circum-

stances 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.

Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.

Opening the porthole door manually

In the event that it is not possible to open the porthole door due to a powercut, and if you wish to remove the laundry, proceed as follows:

1. remove the plug from the electrical socket.

2. make sure the water level inside the machine is lower than the door opening; if it is not, remove excess water using the drain hose, collecting it in a bucket as indicated in the figure.

3. using a screwdriver, remove the cover panel on the lower front part of the washing machine (see figure).

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.

4. pull outwards using the tab as indicated in the figure, until the plastic tie-rod is freed from its stop position; pull downwards and open the door at the same time.

5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely in place before you push it onto the appliance.

Care and maintenance

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du-

ring 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 prechamber 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);
