Installation
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).
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 inlet hose
by screwing it to a cold
water tap 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).
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°.
3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over or bent.
! The water pressure at the tap must fall within the range of
values indicated in the Technical data 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
drain duct or a wall drain
situated between 65 and
100 cm from the floor;
alternatively, placed it over
the edge of a basin, sink
or tub, fastening the duct
supplied to the tap (see
figure). The free end of
the hose should not be
underwater.
! 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 standards are not observed.
The first wash cycle
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 wash cycle number 2.
Technical data
GB
! 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:
• thesocketisearthedandcomplieswithallapplicable
laws;
• thesocketisabletowithstandthemaximumpower
load of the appliance as indicated in the Technical data
table (see opposite);
• thepowersupplyvoltagefallswithinthevalues
indicated in the Technical data table (see opposite);
• thesocketiscompatiblewiththeplugofthewashing
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 remain within easy reach.
! Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.

Load balancing system
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations
before every spin 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.

Successful 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; they 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: Washing detergent (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
Extra compartment 5: we recommend this
compartment is used for liquid detergent.

Cutting off the water and electricity
supplies
• Turnoffthewatertapaftereverywashcycle.Thiswill
limit wear on the hydraulic system inside the washing
machine and help to prevent leaks.
• Unplugthewashingmachinewhencleaningitand
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
To remove the drawer, press
lever (1) and pull the drawer
outwards (2) (see figure).
Wash it under running water;
this procedure 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
• Alwaysleavetheportholedoorajarinordertoprevent
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
protective pre-chamber at the base of the pump.
! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug the
appliance.
To access the pre-chamber:
1. Take off the cover panel
on the front of the machine
by first pressing it in the
centre and then pushing
downwards on both sides
until you can remove it (see
