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).

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).

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.

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;

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 connection

Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket, make
sure that:

• the socket is earthed and complies with current

regulations;

• the socket can withstand the maximum load of the

appliance, which is 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 appliance.

If this is not the case, either the socket or the plug must
be replaced.

! The 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.

! Once the machine has been installed, the electricity

socket should be easily accessible.

! Avoid using any extension cord or multiple socket outlet.
! CAUTION: if this appliance is supplied from a cord

extension set or electrical portable outlet device, the cord
extension set or electrical portable outlet device

must be positioned so that it is not subject to splashing or
ingress of moisture.

! The cable should not be bent or compressed.
! The cable should be replaced only by authorised

technicians.

! If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the

manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons
in order to avoid a hazard.

Warning! The company shall not be held responsible
for any incidents that occur if these regulations 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 the wash cycle 2.

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.

Preparing the laundry

Special wash cycles

Jeans: turn the garments inside out before washing and

use liquid detergent. Use wash cycle 6.
Shirts: use special wash cycle 7 to wash shirts in various
fabrics and colours.
It guarantees maximum care is taken of the garments and
minimises the formation of creases.
MixCool 30’:
lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 30 minutes
and therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting
wash cycle 8, 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 9 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
2 kg.
Silk: use special wash cycle 10 to wash all silk garments.
We recommend the use of special detergent which has
been designed to wash delicate clothes.
Curtains: we recommend you fold the curtains and place
them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle 10.
Duvet: to wash double or single duvets (the weight
of which should not exceed 3 kg), cushions or clothes
padded with goose down such as puffa jackets, use the
special wash cycle number 11 “Duvet”. We recommend
that duvets are placed in the drum with their edges folded
inwards (see figure) and that no more than ¾ of the total
volume of the drum is used.
To achieve the best results, we recommend that a
liquid detergent is used and placed inside the detergent
dispenser drawer.

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 (including

children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
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

extremely 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

circumstances 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.

AUS

Disposal

• Disposing of the packaging materials:

observe local regulations so that the packaging may be

re-used.

• The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste

Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that
household appliances should not be disposed of using
the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances
should be collected separately in order to optimise the cost
of re-using and recycling the materials inside the machine,
while preventing potential damage to the atmosphere and
to public health. The crossed-out dustbin is marked on all
products to remind the owner of their obligations regarding
separated waste collection. For more information relating
to the correct disposal of household appliances, owners
should contact their local authorities or appliance dealer.

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

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;
thi s pr ocedure sh o u ld 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 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

figures).

Troubleshooting

Your washing machine could occasionally fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Service (see “ Service”),
make sure that the problem cannot be not solved easily using the following list.

Problem:

The washing machine does not
switch on.

The wash cycle does not start.

The washing machine does not fill
with water (the text “H2O” flashes
on the display).

The washing machine
continuously takes in and drains
water.

Possible causes / Solutions:

• The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or not enough to make

contact.

• There is no power in the house.

• The washing machine door is not closed properly.

• The ON/OFF button has not been pressed.

• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.

• The water tap has not been opened.

• A DELAY TIMER has been set.

• The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap.

• The hose is bent.

• The water tap has not been opened.

• There is no water supply in the house.

• The pressure is too low.

• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.

• The drain hose is not fitted at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor

(see “Installation”).

• The free end of the hose is under water (see “Installation”).

• The wall drainage system is not fitted with a breather pipe.

If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water tap, switch the
appliance off and contact the Technical Assistance Service. If the dwelling is on one
of the upper floors of a building, there may be problems relating to water drainage,
causing the washing machine to fill with water and drain continuously. Special anti­draining valves are available in shops and help to prevent this inconvenience.
