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 tap 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 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.

65 - 100 cm

Connecting the drain hose

up to 1600 rotations per minute

Co n nect the d rain 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;

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

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.

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:

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.

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 “Programme table”). “ ” 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, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, , 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, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14,

, 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 8, programmes.

Easy Iron

By selecting this function, the wash and spin cycles will be modified in order to reduce the formation of creases. At the end of the cycle the washing machine will perform slow rotations of the drum; the indicator lights for the EASY IRON and START/PAUSE options will flash (the first one green, the second orange). To end the cycle, press the START/ PAUSE button or the EASY IRON button. For the 9 wash cycle, the machine will end the cycle while the laundry is soaking and the EASY IRON and START/PAUSE indicator lights will flash. To drain the water so that the laundry may be removed, press the START/PAUSE button or the EASY IRON button.

! It cannot be used with the 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, ,

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.

! 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.

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 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

Sport Intensive (programma 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 “Programme table”. Sport Light (programma 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 “Programme table”. We recommend using a liquid detergent and dosage suitable for a half-load. Sport Shoes (programma 14): is for washing sports shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs simultaneously.

The 20° wash cycles (20° Zone) offer effective washing performance at low temperatures, reducing electricity usage and expenditure while benefitting the environment. The 20° wash cycles meet all requirements:

Cotton Standard 20° (programme 6) ideal for lightly 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. Mix Light (programme 7) ideal for mixed loads (cotton and synthetics) with a normal soil level. The effective performance levels achieved at cold temperatures are guaranteed by a mechanical action which operates at varying speed, across set average intervals. 20’ Refresh (programme 8) ideal for refreshing and washing lightly soiled garments in a few minutes. It lasts just 20 minutes and therefore saves both time and energy. It can be used to wash different types of fabrics together (except for wool and silk), with a maximum load of 1.5 kg.

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

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.

Wool: all wool garments can be washed using programme 10, even those carrying the “hand-wash only” label. For best results, use special detergents and do not exceed 2 kg of laundry. Jeans: Turn garments inside-out before washing and use a liquid detergent. Use programme 11.

1. Collegare il tubo di alimentazione avvitandolo a un rubinetto d’acqua fredda con bocca filettata da 3/4 gas

(vedi figura).

Prima di allacciare, far scorrere l’acqua finché non sia limpida.

2. Collegare il tubo di alimentazione alla lavabiancheria avvitandolo all’apposita presa d’acqua, nella parte posteriore in alto a destra (vedi figura).

3. Fare attenzione che nel tubo non ci siano né pieghe né strozzature.

Livellamento

1. Installare la lavabiancheria su un pavimen-

to piano e rigido, senza appoggiarla a muri, mobili o altro.

2. Se il pavimento non fosse perfettamente orizzontale, compensare le irregolarità svitando o avvitando i piedini anteriori (vedi figura); l’angolo di inclinazione, misurato sul piano di lavoro, non deve superare i 2°.

! La pressione idrica del rubinetto deve essere compresa nei valori della tabella Dati tecnici

(vedi pagina a fianco).

! Se la lunghezza del tubo di alimentazione non fosse sufficiente, rivolgersi a un negozio specializzato o a un tecnico autorizzato.

! Non utilizzare mai tubi già usati.

! Utilizzare quelli in dotazione alla macchina.

Collegamento del tubo di scarico

65 - 100 cm

- 2006/95/CE (Bassa Tensione)

Collegare il tubo di scarico, senza piegarlo, a una conduttura di scarico o a uno scarico a muro posti tra 65 e 100 cm da terra;

oppure appoggiarlo al bordo di un lavandino o di una vasca, legando la guida in dotazione al rubinetto (vedi figu- ra). L’estremità libera del tubo di scarico non deve rimanere immersa nell’acqua.

! È sconsigliato usare tubi di prolunga; se indispensabile, la prolunga deve avere lo stesso diametro del tubo originale e non superare i 150 cm.

! Il cavo di alimentazione deve essere sostituito solo da tecnici autorizzati.

Attenzione! L’azienda declina ogni responsabilità qualora queste norme non vengano rispettate.

Primo ciclo di lavaggio

Dopo l’installazione, prima dell’uso, effettuare un ciclo di lavaggio con detersivo e senza biancheria impostando il programma 2.

Collegamento elettrico

Prima di inserire la spina nella presa della corrente, accertarsi che:

• la presa abbia la messa a terra e sia a nor-

ma di legge;

• la presa sia in grado di sopportare il carico

massimo di potenza della macchina, indi cato nella tabella Dati tecnici (vedi a fianco);

• la tensione di alimentazione sia compresa

nei valori indicati nella tabella Dati tecnici (vedi a fianco);

• la presa sia compatibile con la spina della

lavabiancheria. In caso contrario sostituire la presa o la spina.

! La lavabiancheria non va installata all’aper to, nemmeno se lo spazio è riparato, perché è molto pericoloso lasciarla esposta a piog gia e temporali.

! A lavabiancheria installata, la presa della corrente deve essere facilmente raggiungibile.

! Non usare prolunghe e multiple. ! Il cavo non deve subire piegature o com-

pressioni.

Manutenzione e cura

Escludere acqua e corrente elettrica

• Chiudere il rubinetto dell’acqua dopo ogni lavaggio. Si limita così l’usura dell’impianto idraulico della lavabiancheria e si elimina il pericolo di perdite.

• Staccare la spina della corrente quando si pulisce la lavabiancheria e durante i lavori di manutenzione.

Pulire la lavabiancheria

La parte esterna e le parti in gomma possono essere puliti con un panno imbevuto di acqua tiepida e sapone. Non usare solventi o abrasivi.

Pulire il cassetto dei detersivi

Sfilare il cassetto sollevandolo e tirandolo verso l’esterno (vedi figura). Lavarlo sotto l’acqua corrente; questa pulizia va effettuata frequentemente.

2. svitare il coperchio ruotandolo in senso antiorario (vedi figura): è normale che fuoriesca un po’ d’acqua;

3. pulire accuratamente l’interno;

4. riavvitare il coperchio;

5. rimontare il pannello assicurandosi, prima di spingerlo verso la macchina, di aver inserito i ganci nelle apposite asole.

Controllare il tubo di alimentazione dell’acqua

Controllare il tubo di alimentazione almeno una volta all’anno. Se presenta screpolature e fessure va sostituito: durante i lavaggi le forti pressioni potrebbero provocare improvvise spaccature. ! Non utilizzare mai tubi già usati.

Curare oblò e cestello

• Lasciare sempre socchiuso l’oblò per evitare che si formino cattivi odori.

Pulire la pompa

La lavabiancheria è dotata di una pompa autopulente che non ha bisogno di manutenzione. Può però succedere che piccoli oggetti (monete, bottoni) cadano nella precamera che protegge la pompa, situata nella parte inferiore di essa. ! Assicurarsi che il ciclo di lavaggio sia terminato e staccare la spina.

Per accedere alla precamera:

1. rimuovere il pannello di copertura sul lato anteriore della lavabiancheria con l’ausilio di un giravite (vedi figura);
