Installation
GB
Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future
reference. Should the appliance be sold, transferred or
moved, make sure the instruction manual accompanies
the washing machine to inform the new owner as to its
operation and features.
Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital
information on installation, use and safety.
Unpacking and levelling
Unpacking
1. Unpack the washing
machine.
2. Check whether the
washing machine has
been damaged during
transport. If this is the
case, do not install it and
contact your retailer.
3. Remove the four
protective screws and the
rubber washer with the
respective spacer, situated
on the rear of the
appliance (see figure).
4. Seal the gaps using the
plastic plugs provided.
5. Keep all the parts: you will need them again if the
washing machine needs to be moved to another location.
Warning: should the screws be re-used, make sure you
fasten the shorter ones at the top.
Packaging materials are not children's toys.
operation. If it is placed on a fitted or loose carpet,
adjust the feet in such a way as to allow enough
room for ventilation beneath the washing machine.
Putting your appliance in place and moving it.
If your washing
machine is equipped
with a special set of
retractable wheels you
can easy move it. To
lower the wheels and
thus move the
appliance effortlessly,
just pull the lever,
situated on the left-
hand side beneath the
base. Once the appliance is in the required position,
put the lever back in place. The washing machine is
now firmly in place (see figure).
Electric and water connections
Connecting the water inlet hose
1. Insert seal A into the
end of the inlet hose
and screw the latter
onto a cold water tap
with a 3/4 gas
A
threaded mouth (see
figure).
Before making the
connection, allow the
water to run freely until
it is perfectly clear.
Levelling
Your machine may make a considerable amount of noise if
the two front feet have not been adjusted correctly.
1. Install the washing
machine on a flat sturdy
floor, without resting it up
against walls, furniture
cabinets or other.
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 according to the worktop, must not
exceed 2°.
Levelling your appliance correctly will provide it with
stability and avoid any vibrations, noise and shifting during
2
2. Connect the other end
of the water inlet hose to
the washing machine,
screwing it onto the
appliance's cold water
inlet, situated on the top
right-hand side on the
rear of the appliance
(see figure).
3. Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the
hose.
The water pressure at the tap must be within the
values indicated in the Technical details table
(on the next page).
If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact
a specialist store or an authorised serviceman.
Never use hoses that have already been used.
Connecting the drain hose
65 - 100 cm
Connect the drain hose,
without bending it, to a
draining duct or a wall
drain situated between
65 and 100 cm from
the floor;
alternatively, place it
over the edge of a
basin, sink or tub,
fastening the duct
supplied to the tap (seefigure). The free end of
the hose should not be
underwater.
GB
Do not use extensions or multiple sockets.
The power supply cable must never be bent or
dangerously compressed.
The power supply cable must only be replaced by
an authorised serviceman.
Warning! The company denies all liability if and when
these norms are not respected.
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, setting the 90°C
programme without a pre-wash cycle.
We advise against the use of hose extensions; in
case of absolute need, the extension must have the
same diameter as the original hose and must not
exceed 150 cm in length.
Electric connection
Before plugging the appliance into the mains
socket, make sure that:
the socket is earthed and in compliance with the
applicable law;
the socket is able to sustain the appliance's
maximum power load indicated in the Technical
details table (on the right);
the supply voltage is included within the values i
ndicated on the Technical details table
(on the right);
the socket is compatible with the washing
machine's plug. If this is not the case, replace
the socket or the plug.
The washing machine should not be installed in an
outdoor environment, not even when the area is
sheltered, because it may be very dangerous to
leave it exposed to rain and thunderstorms.
When the washing machine is installed, the mains
socket must be within easy reach.

Notes
-For programmes 8 and 9, we advise against exceeding a wash load of 3.5 kg.
-For programme 13 we advise against exceeding a wash load of 2 kg.
-For the anti-crease function: see Easy iron, opposite page. The information contained in the table is purely indicative.
Special programme
Daily Refresh (programme 11 for Synthetics) is designed to wash lightly soiled garments in a short amount of time: it
only lasts 30 minutes and allows you to save on both time and energy. By setting this programme (11 at 30°C), you
can wash different fabrics together (except for woollen and silk items), with a maximum load of 3 kg.
We recommend the use of liquid detergent.

Setting the temperature
Turn the TEMPERATURE knob to set the wash temperature (see Programme table on page 6).
The temperature can be lowered, or even set to a cold wash ( ).
Setting the spin speed
Turn the SPIN SPEED knob to set the spin speed for the programme selected.
The maximum spin speeds for each programme are as follows:
ProgrammesMaximum spin speed
Cottone1000 rpm
Synthetics 800 rpm
Wool 600 rpm
Silk no
The spin speed can be lowered, or the spin cycle can be excluded altogether by selecting symbol .
The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a spin speed higher than the maximum speed for
each programme.
Note. To avoid excessive vibrations, before every spin cycle the machine distributes the load in a uniform manner
by continuously rotating the drum at a speed which is slightly faster than the normal washing speed.
When, despite repeated attempts, the load is still not evenly distributed, the machine spins at a lower speed than the set
frequency.
If the load is excessively unbalanced, the machine attempts to distribute it instead of spinning.
The balancing attempts may extend the total duration of the cycle, up to a maximum of 10 minutes.
GB
Functions
To enable a function:
1. press the button corresponding to the desired function, according to the table below;
2. the function is enabled when the corresponding button is illuminated.
Note: The rapid flashing of the button indicates that the corresponding function cannot be selected for the
programme set.

This option is incompatible with the BLEACHING option.
Recommended when the appliance has a full load or with large
quantities of detergent.
Good washing results also depend on the correct
dose of detergent: adding too much detergent won't
necessarily make for a more efficient wash, and may
in fact cause build up on the interior of your
appliance and even pollute the environment.
Open up the
detergent dispenser
and pour in the
detergent and fabric
softener, as follows.
compartment 1: Detergent for pre-wash
(powder)
compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle
(powder or liquid)
Liquid detergent should only be poured in
immediately prior to the wash cycle start.
Do not use hand wash detergent because it may
form too much foam.
compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
When pouring the softener in compartment 3, avoid
exceeding the "max" level indicated.
The softener is added automatically into the machine
during the last wash. At the end of the wash
programme, some water will be left in compartment 3.
This is used for the inlet of denser fabric softeners into
the machine, i.e. to dilute the more concentrated
softeners. Should more than a normal amount of water
remain in compartment 3, this means the emptying
device is blocked. For cleaning instructions, see page
10.
The fabric softener should not overflow from the grid.
Preparing your laundry
Divide your laundry according to:
- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label.
- the colours: separate coloured garments from
whites.
Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons.
Do not exceed the weight limits stated below,
which refer to the weight when dry:
- Sturdy fabrics: max 6 kg
- Synthetic fabrics: max 2.5 kg
- Delicate fabrics: max 2 kg
- Wool: max 1 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
Special items
Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow
case or mesh bag. Wash them separately without
exceeding half the appliance load. Use programme 7
which excludes the spin cycle automatically.
Quilted coats and windbreakers: if they are
padded with goose or duck down, they can be
machine-washed. Turn the garments inside out and
load a maximum of 2-3 kg, repeating the rinse cycle
once or twice and using the delicate spin cycle.
Wool: for best results, use a specific detergent,
taking care not to exceed a load of 1 kg.
compartment 4: Bleach
Bleach cycle
Traditional bleach should be used on sturdy white
fabrics, and delicate bleach for coloured fabrics,
synthetics and for wool.
When pouring in the bleach, be careful not to exceed
the "max" level indicated on compartment 4 (see

Bleaching.
Precautions and advice
The washing machine was designed and built in
compliance with the applicable international safety
regulations. The following information is provided for
your safety and should consequently be read
carefully.
General safety
This appliance has been designed for non-
professional, household use and its functions must
not be changed.
This washing machine should only be used by
adults and in accordance with the instructions
provided in this manual.
Never touch the washing machine when barefoot
or with wet or damp hands or feet.
Do not pull on the power supply cable to unplug
the appliance from the electricity socket. Pull the
plug out yourself.
Do not open the detergent dispenser while the
appliance is in operation.
Do not touch the drain water as it could reach
very high temperatures.
The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the
product reminds you of your obligation, that when
you dispose of the appliance it must be separately
collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority or
retailer for information concerning the correct
disposal of their old appliance.
Disposing of an old washing machine:
before scrapping your appliance, cut the power
supply cable and remove the appliance door.
Saving energy and respecting the
environment
Environmentally-friendly technology
If you only see a little water through your appliance
door, this is because thanks to the latest technology,
your washing machine only needs less than half the
amount of water to get the best results: an objective
reached to respect the environment.
Saving on detergent, water,
energy and time
To avoid wasting resources, the washing machine
should be used with a full load. A full load instead
of two half loads allows you to save up to 50% on
energy.
GB
Never force the washing machine door: this could
damage the safety lock mechanism designed to
prevent any accidental openings.
In the event of a malfunction, do not under any
circumstances touch internal parts in order to
attempt repairs.
Always keep children well away from the
appliance while in operation.
The appliance door tends to get quite hot during
the wash cycle.
Should it have to be moved, proceed with the
help 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 your laundry into the washing
machine, make sure the drum is empty.
Disposal
Disposal of old electrical appliances
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires
that old household electrical appliances must not be
disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste
stream. Old appliances must be collected separately
in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the
materials they contain and reduce the impact on
human health and the environment.
The pre-wash cycle is only necessary on
extremely soiled garments. Avoiding it will save on
detergent, time, water and between 5 and 15%
energy.
Treating stains with a stain remover or leaving
them to soak before washing will cut down the
need to wash them at high temperatures. A
programme at 60°C instead of 90°C or one at
40°C instead of 60°C will save up to 50% on
energy.
Use the correct quantity of detergent depending
on the water hardness, how soiled the garments
are and the amount of laundry you have, to avoid
wastage and to protect the environment: despite
being biodegradable, detergents do contain
ingredients that alter the natural balance of the
environment. In addition, avoid using fabric
softener as much as possible.
If you use your washing machine from late in the
afternoon until the early hours of the morning, you
will help reduce the electricity board's peak load.
The Delay Timer option (see page 7) helps to
organise your wash cycles accordingly.
If your laundry has to be dried in a tumble dryer,
select a high spin speed. Having the least water
possible in your laundry will save you time and
energy in the drying process.
Turn off the water tap after every wash. This will
limit the wear of your appliance's water system
and also prevent leaks.
Unplug your appliance when cleaning it and
during all maintenance operations.
Cleaning your appliance
The exterior and rubber parts of your appliance can
be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm
soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
Remove the dispenser by raising it and pulling it out
(see figure).
Wash it under running water; this operation should
be repeated
frequently.
Caring for your appliance door and
drum
Always leave the appliance door ajar to prevent
unpleasant odours from forming.
Cleaning the pump
The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning
pump that does not require any maintenance.
Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons)
may fall into the pre-chamber that protects the
pump, situated in the lower part of the same.
Make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug
the appliance.
To recover any objects that have fallen into the prechamber:
1. remove the plinth at
the bottom on the
front side of the
washing machine by
pulling from the side
with your hands (seefigure);
2. unscrew the lid
rotating it anticlockwise (see figure): a
little water may trickle
out. This is perfectly
normal;
3. clean the interior
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 water inlet hose at least once a year. If
you see any cracks, replace it immediately: during
the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and
a cracked hose could easily split open.
Never use hoses that have already been used.
Disassembly:
Press lightly on the large
button on the front of the
detergent dispenser and pull
it upwards (fig. 1).
Fig. 1Fig. 2

How to clean the detergent dispenser
Cleaning:
Then clean the dispenser under a tap (fig. 3) using an old
toothbrush and, once the pair of siphons inserted in the
top of compartments 1 and 2 (fig. 4) have been pulled
out, check whether the same are not clogged and then
rinse them.
Fig. 3
Reassembly:
Do not forget to reinsert the
pair of siphons into the
special housings and then to
replace the dispenser into its
seat, clicking it into place
(fig. 4, 2 and 1).

Installation
Conservez ce mode d'emploi pour pouvoir le
F
consulter à tout moment. En cas de vente, de cession
ou de déménagement, veillez à ce qu'il suive toujours
le lave-linge pour que son nouveau propriétaire soit
informé sur son mode de fonctionnement et puisse
profiter des conseils correspondants.
Lisez attentivement les instructions: elles fournissent
d'importantes informations sur l'installation, l'utilisation
et la sécurité.
Déballage et mise à niveau
Déballage: enlever les 4 vis
1. Déballez le lave-linge.
2. Contrôlez que le
lave-linge n'a pas été
endommagé pendant le
transport. S'il est
abîmé, ne le raccordez
pas et contactez votre
revendeur.
3. Enlevez les quatre vis
de protection pour le
transport, le caoutchouc
et la cale, placés dans
la partie arrière (voirfigure).
4. Bouchez les trous à
l'aide des bouchons
plastique fournis.
5. Conservez bien toutes ces pièces: il faudra les
remonter en cas de transport du lave-linge.
Attention: en cas de réutilisation, les vis plus
courtes doivent être montées dessus.
Les emballages ne sont pas des jouets pour enfants.
Mise à niveau
Votre appareil peut savérer bruyant si vous navez
pas bien réglé ses deux pieds avant.
1. Installez le lave-linge
sur un sol plat et rigide,
sans l'appuyer contre
des murs, des meubles
ou autre.
Une bonne mise à niveau garantit la stabilité de la
machine et évite qu'il y ait des vibrations, du bruit et
des déplacements en cours de fonctionnement. Si la
machine est posée sur de la moquette ou un tapis,
réglez les petits pieds de manière à ce qu'il y ait
suffisamment d'espace pour assurer une bonne
ventilation.
Mise en place, deplacements
Si votre lave-linge est muni
d'un chariot spécial avec
roues rétractiles, vous
pouvez le déplacer facilement. Pour faire descendre
ce chariot et pouvoir ainsi
déplacer sans effort votre
lave-linge, vous devez tirer
le levier situé en bas à
gauche, sous la base. Une
fois le lave-linge déplacé,
remettez-le dans la position
initiale. Le lave-linge est ainsi solidement mis en place.
Voir figure. (Seulement pour les modéles prevues)
Raccordements hydrauliques et
électriques
Raccordement du tuyau d'arrivée de l'eau
1. Montez le joint A sur
l'extrémité du tuyau
d'alimentation et vissez-le
à un robinet d'eau froide à
embout fileté 3/4 gaz (voir
A
figure).
Faites couler l'eau jusqu'à
ce qu'elle soit limpide et
sans impuretés avant de
raccorder.
2. Raccordez le tuyau
d'alimentation au lavelinge en le vissant à la
prise d'eau prévue, dans
la partie arrière en haut à
droite (voir figure).
3. Faites attention à ce
que le tuyau ne soit ni plié
ni écrasé.
2. Si le sol n'est pas
parfaitement horizontal,
vissez ou dévissez les
petits pieds avant (voirfigure) pour niveler
l'appareil; son angle d'inclinaison, mesuré sur le plan
de travail, ne doit pas dépasser 2°.
14
La pression de l'eau doit être comprise entre les valeurs
indiquées dans le tableau des Caractéristiques
techniques (voir page ci-contre).
Si la longueur du tuyau d'alimentation ne suffit pas, adressez-
vous à un magasin spécialisé ou à un technicien agréé.
N'utilisez jamais de tuyaux usés.
Raccordement du tuyau de vidange
Raccordez le tuyau
d'évacuation, sans le
plier, à un conduit
d'évacuation ou à une
évacuation murale
65 - 100 cm
placés à une distance
du sol comprise entre
65 et 100 cm;
ou bien accrochez-le à
un évier ou à une
baignoire, dans ce cas,
fixez le support en
plastique fourni avec
l'appareil au robinet
(voir figure). L'extrémité
libre du tuyau
d'évacuation ne doit
pas être plongée dans
l'eau.
N'utilisez ni rallonges ni prises multiples.
Le câble ne doit être ni plié ni écrasé.
Le câble d'alimentation ne doit être remplacé que
par des techniciens agréés.
Attention! Nous déclinons toute responsabilité en cas
de non respect des normes énumérées ci-dessus.
Premier cycle de lavage
Avant la première utilisation de la machine, effectuez
un cycle de lavage avec un produit lessiviel mais
sans linge et sélectionnez le programme à 90°C
sans prélavage.
F
Bac produits
L'utilisation de tuyaux de rallonge est absolument
déconseillée, si vous ne pouvez vraiment pas faire
autrement vous devrez utiliser un tuyau de même
diamètre et de longueur maximum de 150 cm.
Branchement électrique
Avant de brancher la fiche dans la prise de courant,
contrôlez que:
la prise dispose de mise à la terre et est conforme
aux normes;
la prise est bien apte à supporter la puissance
maximale de la machine indiquée dans le tableau
des Carcatéristiques techniques (voir ci-contre);
la tension d'alimentation est bien comprise entre les
valeurs figurant dans le tableau des
Caractéristiques techniques (voir ci-contre);
la prise est bien compatible avec la fiche du lave-
linge. Autrement, remplacez la prise ou la fiche.
Votre lave-linge ne doit pas être installé dehors,
même à l'abri, car il est très dangereux de le laisser
exposé à la pluie et aux orages.
Après installation du lave-linge, la prise de courant
doit être facilement accessible.
