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 inlet hose 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

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.

Connecting the drain hose

)

Connect the drain hose, without bending it, to a drain duct or a wall drain situated between 65 and 100 cm from the floor;

65 - 100 cm

alternatively, place 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.

 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.

 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.

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 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.

Wash options

The option optimises washing to suit the quantity of laundry loaded into the machine, thereby reducing the overall wash cycle duration while minimising water and energy consumption. Press the

button to select the type of wash cycle desired: Intensive: vigorous wash cycle for garments with a heavy soil level.

4 You: standard wash cycle for garments with a normal soil level. Fast: quick wash cycle for garments with a light soil level.

 This may only be used in conjunction with wash cycles 1, 2,

3, 4, 5, 6 (all three levels) and 7, 8, 9 (4 You and Fast levels).

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 wash cycles 9, , .

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, while the EASY IRON and START/ PAUSE indicator lights will flash (blue and orange respectively). To end the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button or the EASY IRON button. For wash cycles number 11-13, the

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

Special wash cycles

Jeans: turn the garments inside out before washing

and use liquid detergent. Use wash cycle 7. Shirts: use special wash cycle 8 to wash shirts in various fabrics and colours. It guarantees maximum care is taken of the garments and minimises the formation of creases. Mix-Cool 30: lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 30 minutes and therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting wash cycle 9, it is possible to wash different fabrics (except for wool and silk items) using a cold cycle, up to a maximum load of 3 kg. Wool: wash cycle 10 can be used to wash all woollen garments in the machine, even those carrying the hand wash only special detergent and do not exceed the maximum load of 1,5 kg. Silk: use special wash cycle 11 to wash all silk garments. We recommend the use of special detergent which has been designed to wash delicate clothes.
