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
up to 1000 rotations per minute
! 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 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.
! 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
wash cycle “Auto Clean” (see “Cleaning the
washing machine”).

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
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 “Table of wash cycles”. 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 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
and activate the option(in this case it will also be possible to
enable the “Extra Rinse” 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
tested and approved by The Woolmark Company for the
washing of wool containing garments labelled as “hand
wash” provided that the garments are washed according
to the instructions on the garment label and those issued
by the manufacturer of this washing machine. (M1127)
In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade mark
is a Certification trade mark.
Duvet: to wash double or single duvets (the weight of
which should not exceed 3,5 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.
Coloured: use this cycle 11 to wash bright coloured
clothes. The programme is designed to maintain bright
colours over time.
Cotton Standard 20° (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.
20’ Refresh (programme 13) ideal for refreshing and
washing lightly soiled garments in a few minutes. It lasts
just 20 minutes and therefore saves both time and energy.
It can be used to wash different types of fabrics together
(except for wool and silk), with a maximum load of 1.5 kg.
Rapid 60’ (programme 14) 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°.

! É importante guardar este livrete para poder
consultá-lo a qualquer momento. Se a máquina
for vendida, cedida ou transferida, certifiquese que este livrete permaneça com a máquina
para informar o novo proprietário acerca do seu
funcionamento e das respectivas advertências.
! Leia com atenção estas instruções: há importantes informações acerca da instalação, da
utilização e da segurança.
Desembalar e nivelar
Desembalar
1. Tire a máquina de lavar roupa da embalagem.
2. Verifique se a máquina de lavar roupa sofreu
danos no transporte. Se estiver danificada não
efectue a sua ligação e contacte o revendedor.
3. Tire os 4 parafusos
de protecção para o
transporte e a borrachinha com o respectivo calço, situados na
parte traseira (veja a figura).
Um cuidadoso nivelamento dá estabilidade à
máquina e evita vibrações, ruídos e deslocamentos durante o funcionamento. Se houver
tapete ou alcatifa, regule os pés De modo a
que debaixo da máquina de lavar roupa haja
um espaço suficiente para ventilação.
Ligações hidráulicas e eléctricas
Ligação do tubo de alimentação da
água
1. Realize a ligação
do tubo de alimentação parafusando-o
a uma torneira de
água fria com bocal de rosca de 3/4
gás(veja a figura).
Antes de realizar esta
ligação, haja a água
escorrer até estar
límpida.
4. Tape os furos com as tampas em plástico
fornecidas.
5. Guarde todas as peças: se for necessário
transportar a máquina de lavar roupa, terão de
ser montadas outra vez.
! Embalagens não são brinquedos para as
crianças!
Nivelamento
1. Instale a máquina de lavar roupa sobre um
pavimento plano e rígido, sem encostá-la em
paredes, móveis nem outro.
2. Se o pavimento não
for perfeitamente horizontal, para compensar qualquer irregularidade, desatarraxe ou
atarraxe os pés dianteiros (veja a figura); ;
o ângulo de inclinação,
medido no plano de
trabalho, não deve ultrapassar 2°.
2. Ligue o tubo de
alimentação na
máquina de lavar
roupa atarraxando-o
no apropriado fornecimento da água,
na parte traseira, em
cima à direita (veja a figura).
3. Tome cuidado para o tubo não ser dobrado
nem esmagado.
! A pressão hídrica da torneira deve ser entre
os valores da tabela dos Dados técnicos (veja
a página ao lado).
! Se o comprimento do tubo de alimentação não
for suficiente, contacte uma oficina especializada
ou um técnico autorizado.
! Nunca utilize tubos já usados.
! Utilize aqueles fornecidos com a máquina.

Ligação do tubo de descarga
65 - 100 cm
capacidade do tambor 62 litros
Ligue o tubo de descarga, sem dobrá-lo,
a uma conduta de
descarga ou a uma
descarga na parede
situada entre 65 e
100 cm de altura do
chão;
ou coloque na beira de um lavabo ou
de uma banheira,
prenda na torneira a
guia fornecida (veja a figura). A ponta solta
do tubo de descarga
não deve permanecer emergida na
água.
! É desaconselhado empregar tubos de extensão; mas se for indispensável, a extensão
deve ter o mesmo diâmetro do tubo original e
não medir mais de 150 cm de comprimento.
Ligação eléctrica
Antes de ligar a ficha na tomada eléctrica,
certifique-se que:
• a tomada tenha uma ligação à terra e seja nos
termos da legislação;
• a tomada tenha a capacidade para suportar
a carga máxima de potência da máquina,
indicada na tabela dos Dados técnicos (veja
ao lado);
• a tensão de alimentação seja entre os valores
indicados na tabela dos Dados técnicos (veja ao lado);
• a tomada seja compatível com a ficha da
máquina de lavar roupa. Se não for, substitua
a tomada ou a ficha.
