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).
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 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
right-hand side of the
rear part of the appliance (see figure).
3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over
or bent.
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°.
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
65 - 100 cm
! Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.
GB
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.
! 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 cable should not be bent or compressed.
! The power supply cable must only be repla-
ced 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 the

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.
• The washing machine has a “Auto Clean”
programme for its internal parts that must be run with no load in the drum.
For maximum performance you may want
to use either the detergent (i.e. a quantity
10% the quantity specified for lightly-soiled
garments) or special additives to clean the
washing machine. We recommend running a
cleaning programme every 40 wash cycles.
To start the programme press buttons A and
B simultaneously for 5 seconds (see figure).
The programme will start automatically and
will last approximately 70 minutes. To stop the
cycle press the START/PAUSE button.
Cleaning the pump
The washing machine is fitted with a selfcleaning 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).
2. Unscrew the lid
by rotating it anticlockwise (seefigu-re): a little water may
trickle out. This is
perfectly normal.
A
B
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.
Caring for the door and drum of your
appliance
• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to
4
prevent unpleasant odours from forming.
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.
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 can be used by children aged
from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities
or lack of experience and knowledge if they
have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance in a safe way
and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made
by children without supervision.
• The washing machine must only be used by adults, in accordance with the instructions provided in this manual.
• 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.
Disposal
• Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local
regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.
• The European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment, 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 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.
GB
Load balancing system
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations 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.

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 prewashing, 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)
If liquid detergent is used, it is
recommended that the removable plastic partition A (supplied)
be used for proper dosage. If powder detergent is used, place
the partition into slot B.
Compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
The fabric softener must not exceed the “max” level indicated
on the central pin.
Extra compartment 4: Bleach
fibres. Synthetics fabrics or mixed loads should be washed
at 40°, and resistant cotton fabrics at 60°.
Delicate: use programme 4 to wash very delicate garments.
It is advisable to turn the garments inside out before washing
them. For best results, use liquid detergent on delicate
garments. For washing Silk items and Curtains, select the
relevant cycle 4 and activate the option ; the machine
will end the cycle with the laundry soaked and the indicator
light will flash. To drain the water so that the laundry can be
removed, press the START/PAUSE button or the option .
Wool: the wool wash cycle of this machine has been
approved by The Woolmark Company for the washing of
wool garments labelled as “hand wash” provided that the
products are washed according to the instructions on the
garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this
washing machine. (M1126)
In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade mark
is a Certification trade mark.
Duvet: to wash single duvets (the weight of which should not
exceed 2 kg), cushions or clothes padded with goose down
such as puffa jackets, use the special wash cycle number 6.
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.
Bleach cycle
Insert the additional compartment 4 (provided) into compartment
1. In pouring the bleach do not exceed the “max” level indicated
on the central pin.
Perform bleaching by pouring the bleach into additional compartment 4 and set the programme .
! Traditional bleach should be used on resistant white fabrics, and
delicate bleach for coloured and synthetics fabrics and for wool.
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 values listed in the “Table of wash cycles”,
which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry.
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
Garments requiring special care
Sport (programme 1) is designed for washing lightly soiled
sports clothing (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best results, we
recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the
“Programme table”. We recommend using liquid detergent,
and adding the amount suitable for a half-load.
Dark: use cycle 2 to wash dark-coloured garments. This
programme is designed to maintain dark colours over time.
We recommend using a liquid detergent for the best results
when washing dark-coloured garments.
Anti-odour: use programme 3 for washing garments with
bad odours (e.g. smoke, sweat, fried food). The programme
is designed to remove bad odours while preserving the fabric
Coloured: use this cycle 11 to wash bright coloured clothes.
The programme is designed to maintain bright colours over time.
Cotton Standard 20°C (programme 12) ideal for lightly
soiled cotton loads. The effective performance levels achieved
at cold temperatures, which are comparable to washing at
40°, are guaranteed by a mechanical action which operates
at varying speed, with repeated and frequent peaks.
Eco Synthetic (programme 13) ideal for mixed loads (cotton
and synthetics) with a normal soil level. The effective performance
levels achieved at cold temperatures are guaranteed by a
mechanical action which operates at varying speed, across set
average intervals.
Rapid (programme 14) allows for varying the garment treatment
duration from 9’ to 60’. Pressing the corresponding “Rapid”
button allows for varying the cycle duration between 9’ (refresh),
30’ (wash), 60’ (wash). The 9’ cycle refreshes garments using
fabric softener only; it is advisable not to add any detergent into the machine. The 30’ cycle is designed to wash lightly soiled
garments at 30° (excluding wool and silk) with a 3 kg maximum
load in a short time: it only lasts 30 minutes and allows for saving
time and energy. The 60’ cycle is designed to wash moderately
soiled resistant cotton garments at 60° in an hour, with good
washing performance. For synthetic or mixed garments, we
recommend lowering the temperature down to 40°.

The wash cycle does not start.
The washing machine does not
take in water (the indicator light for
the first wash cycle stage flashes
rapidly).
The washing machine continuously
takes in and drains water.
Possible causes / Solutions:
• The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or is not making 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 delayed start 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 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
anti-draining valves are available in shops and help to avoid this inconvenience.

Installation
FR
! Conserver ce mode d’emploi pour pouvoir
le consulter à tout moment. En cas de vente,
de cession ou de déménagement, veiller à
ce qu’il suive toujours le lave-linge pour que
son nouveau propriétaire soit informé sur son
mode de optionnement et puisse profiter des
conseils correspondants.
! Lire attentivement les instructions: elles
fournissent des conseils importants sur l’installation, l’utilisation et la sécurité de l’appareil.
Déballage et mise à niveau
Déballage
1. Déballer le lave-linge.
2. Contrôler que le lave-linge n’a pas été en-
dommagé pendant le transport. S’il est abîmé,
ne pas le raccorder et contacter le vendeur.
3. Enlever les 4 vis
de protection servant
au transport, le caoutchouc et la cale,
placés dans la partie
arrière (voir figure).
4. Boucher les trous à l’aide des bouchons
plastique fournis.
5. Conserver toutes ces pièces: il faudra les
remonter en cas de transport du lave-linge.
! Les pièces d’emballage ne sont pas des
jouets pour enfants.
Mise à niveau
Une bonne mise à niveau garantit la stabilité
de l’appareil et évite qu’il y ait des vibrations,
du bruit et des déplacements en cours de
optionnement. Si la machine est posée sur de
la moquette ou un tapis, régler les pieds de
manière à ce qu’il y ait suffisamment d’espace
pour assurer une bonne ventilation.
Raccordements eau et électricité
Raccordement du tuyau d’arrivée de
l’eau
1. Reliez le tuyau
d’alimentation en le
vissant à un robinet
d’eau froide à embout
fileté 3/4 gaz (voir
figure).
Faire couler l’eau
jusqu’à ce qu’elle soit
limpide et sans impuretés avant de raccorder.
2. Raccorder le tuyau
d’arrivée de l’eau au
lave-linge en le vissant à la prise d’eau
prévue, dans la partie
arrière en haut à droite (voir figure).
3. Attention à ce que le tuyau ne soit pas plié
ou écrasé.
1. Installer le lave-linge sur un sol plat et rigide,
sans l’appuyer contre des murs, des meubles
ou autre.
2. Si le sol n’est pas
parfaitement horizontal, visser ou dévisser
les pieds de réglage
avant (voir figure) 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, s’adresser à un magasin spécialisé
ou à un technicien agréé.
! N’utiliser que des tuyaux neufs.
! Utiliser ceux qui sont fournis avec l’appareil.
Raccordement du tuyau de vidange
65 - 100 cm
! Le câble ne doit être ni plié ni trop écrasé.
FR
Raccorder le tuyau
d’évacuation, sans
le plier, à un conduit d’évacuation ou
à une évacuation
murale placés à une
distance du sol comprise entre 65 et 100
cm ;
ou bien l’accrocher
à un évier ou à une
baignoire, dans ce
cas, fixer 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.
! L’utilisation d’un tuyau de rallonge est absolument déconseillée mais si on ne peut faire
autrement, il faut absolument qu’il ait le même
diamètre que le tuyau original et sa longueur
ne doit pas dépasser 150 cm.
Raccordement électrique
Avant de brancher la fiche dans la prise de courant, s’assurer que :
• la prise est bien reliée à la terre et est conforme
aux réglementations en vigueur;
• la prise est bien apte à supporter la puissan-
ce maximale de l’appareil indiquée dans le
tableau des Caractéristiques 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, remplacer la prise ou la fiche.
! Le 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.
! 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 mise en service de l’appareil,
effectuer un cycle de lavage avec un produit lessiviel mais sans linge et sélectionner le
programme «AUTO NETTOYANT» (voir “Netto-
yage du lave-linge”).
