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.

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:

• 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.

will not be activated.

6

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.

The length of cycle shown on the display or in this booklet is an estimation only and is calculated assuming standard working conditions. The actual duration can vary accor­ding to factors such as water temperature and pressure, the amount of detergent used, the amount and type of load inserted, load balancing and any wash options selected.

For all Test Institutes:

1) Test wash cycle in compliance with regulation 2010/1061: select wash cycle 2 with a temperature of 60°C and 40°C.
This cycle is designed for cotton loads with a normal soil level and is the most efficient in terms of both electricity and water consumption; it should be
used for garments which can be washed at 60°C and 40°C. The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated value.

2) Long wash cycle for cottons: select wash cycle 2 with a temperature of 40.

3) Short wash cycle for cottons: select wash cycle 4 with a temperature of 40.

4) Synthetic program along: set wash cycle 5 with a temperature of 40°C.

The “PRIME” technology optimises energy, water and time consumption
according to the quantity of garments actually inserted in the machine.
Moreover, pressing the button allows for selecting the following
options:

- Water: allows for reducing water consumption without having to
renounce impeccable results (recommended for heavily soiled garments).

- Energy: automatically selected by “PRIME”, this option reduces energy
consumption (recommended for normally soiled garments).

- Time: allows for reducing wash cycle duration (recommended for lightly
soiled garments).

! This may only be used in conjunction with wash cycles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (all

three levels) and 6, 7, 8 (- Energy and - Time 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 8, , .

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 10-12, the machine will end the cycle while the
laundry is soaking; 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 in conjunction with wash cycles 8, 9, 13, , .

Stain removal

This function is particularly useful for
the removal of stubborn stains. Insert
extra compartment 4 (supplied with
the appliance) into compartment

1. When pouring in the bleach, be
careful not to exceed the “max”
level marked on the central pivot
(see figure). To bleach laundry with
no other washing action, pour the
bleach into extra compartment 4,
select the “Rinse” cycle and
activate the “Stain removal” option

. To bleach during a wash cycle,
pour in the detergent and any fabric softener you wish to use, select the
desired wash cycle and enable the “Stain removal” option. The use of
extra compartment 4 excludes the pre-wash function.

! It cannot be used in conjunction with wash cycles 1, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12,

13, , .

Detergent dispenser drawer

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 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)

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.

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.
Mix-Cool 30’: this wash cycle was designed to wash 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” label. To achieve the best results, use a 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.
Duvets: 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 “Duvets”. 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.

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. 9 kg
Synthetic fabrics: max. 4 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 900-1,200 g
1 towel 150-250 g

Outwear (wash cycle 12): is studied for washing water-

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 Shoes (wash cycle 13): is for washing sports
shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs
simultaneously.
