Cautions
BE SURE TO REMOVE SHIPPING RODS PRIOR
TO THE FIRST USE OF THE APPLIANCE. ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE THE MACHINE WITHOUT REMOVING THE SHIPPING RODS MAY RESULT IN IRREPARABLE DAMAGE WHICH IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.
When connecting your washing machine to
the water supply, be sure to use the brand new water inlet hose and appropriate sealing gaskets (included).
Do not locate the machine in a room with
temperature below 0°C. Parts of the machine may be damaged if frozen.
Install the washing machine in a perfectly
horizontal position, on solid at concrete oor.
Follow the instructions for correct installation and
water and main connections.
Never immerse the end of the drain hose into the
draining water.
Prior to starting the wash cycle, ensure the door is
closed properly.
Door may not be open during the washing cycle.
Use only detergents and softeners for
machine wash. Manufacturer may not assume responsibility for any damage and eventual discoloring of gaskets and plastic components as a consequence of incorrect use of bleach and/or coloring agents.
High Efciency (“HE”) detergent recommended.
For removal of lime residues use such agents
with added anti-corrosion agents. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Finish the lime removal by multiple rinsing to completely remove eventual acid residues.
Never use detergents containing solvents, since
there is a danger of creating toxic gasses which may damage the machine and result in ignition or explosion.
Upon completion of washing operation close the

Important safety instructions
To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or
injury when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, and other
ammable or explosive substances as they give
off vapors that could ignite or explode.
3. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or
other ammable or explosive substances to the
wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
4. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE, if the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using a washing machine, turn on all hot
water faucets and let the water ow from
each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is
ammable do not smoke or use an open ame
during this time.
5. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children.
6. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door.
7. Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or agitator is moving.
8. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.

The oor must be a hard surface with a
maximum slope of ½˝ per foot (1,27 cm per 30
cm). To make sure the washer does not vibrate
or move, you may have to reinforce the oor.
The appliance should be placed on a surface
with concrete base; the surface should be dry and clean in order to prevent slipping. The adjustable feet should also be cleaned before installation.
If you have a tumble dryer of the same
dimensions, you can place it on top of the washing machine.
Water inlet connection
To ensure correct operation of the appliance,
inlet water pressure must be between 7 psi to
116 psi (0,05 MPa and 0,8 MPa).
Minimum water pressure can be established by
measuring the quantity of poured out water.
0,8 gal (3 litres) of water must be poured out
from a completely opened tap in 15 seconds.
Take the water inlet hose from the drum and
attach the inlet hose angle extension (1) to the washing machine by screwing it onto the provided thread (certain models only).
Insert the gasket with a lter net into the straight

By pressing the PAUSE button, (C) the program may be suspended at any time. After certain time you may open the door if there is no water in the drum, otherwise this is not possible. Program is continued by pressing the START button (C).
Failures
Program is suspended in case a failure occurs.
Signal LED’s are ashing (see Troubleshooting).
Power failure
At electric cutout the program is interrupted,
however, after the power supply has been re­established, the program operation automatically proceeds.
If a power failure occurs when the drum is
still full of water, be careful not to open the door before you drain the water out.
Tips for washing and energy saving
Before washing sort out the laundry according to
the type, degree of dirtiness and color fastness.
Prior to selecting the washing program consult the
sewn tab with information on a particular piece of laundry (see Maintenance chart on the last page).
Wash separately new colored textile products for
the rst time.
Wash heavily soiled laundry in small quantities
and add more detergent.
Treat stubborn stains with special stain remover, it
will save energy.
With lightly stained laundry use short program and
select lower washing temperature. This way you may save up to 50% of energy.
Avoid washing very small quantities of laundry
to save energy and for better performance of the appliance.
The largest allowed quantity of dry laundry is
indicated in the Program chart on page 27.
Before washing, empty the pockets, close zip
fasteners, and remove any metal fasteners or badges that might clog the drain or damage the laundry or drum interior.
Loosen stacked laundry prior to inserting it into
the drum.
Use only detergents for machine wash.
Add powder or liquid detergents according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Chlorine-based whitening agents are not
recommended, as it can damage the heater.
19
188635
In the case of hard water, add appropriate amounts of detergent and water softener according to manufacturer’s suggestions.
You may add washing detergent directly into the
drum.
If you use thick liquid softener it is recommended
to dilute it with water, to prevent clogging of dispenser compartment ducts.
Washing machine is equipped with the dispenser
partition gate, so you may pour liquid detergent also into the central compartment. If you use powder detergent the gate is lifted up, and in case of liquid detergent it is slid down.
Insert particularly delicate linen (stockings,
delicate female underwear, etc.) into protective wash bags.
Do not put clods of detergent into the
soap dispenser as the tube in the washing machine may clog.
188635
20
Cleaning and maintenance
Disconnect the washing machine from the
main power supply before cleaning!
The cabinet should be cleaned with soft cloth and
mild detergent.
The interior of the drum and the door gasket
is cleaned by washing at 140°F (60°C) without laundry and adding half quantity of detergent.
Frequent use of low-temperature programs in
combination with liquid detergents can lead to development of germs which cause odor in the washing machine. To prevent this, it is recommended to run the Cotton 95°C program without any laundry at least once per month, using powder detergent.
If necessary, clean the detergent dispenser. Pull it
out from its casing completely by pressing the ap
(see Fig.).
If necessary, clean the cover of the bung under
running water.
188635
21
188635
Wash it under running water using a brush, and
22
dry it. Remove any leftover dried detergent from the bottom of the casing.
Clean the entire rinsing area of the washing
machine with a brush, especially the nozzles on the upper side of the rinsing chamber.
Clean the water inlet hose screen under running
water regularly.
After each wash wipe the door rubber gasket. This
will prolong its useful life.
Open the lter lid using at screwdriver or similar
tool.
Filter needs occasional cleaning, especially
following heavily shaggy or old laundry.
Before cleaning, drain any water from the
machine via drain pipe (certain models only).
Turn it counter-clockwise, pull it out and clean
under running water.
Insert the lter back as shown on the picture,
and tighten by turning it in clockwise direction. To ensure good sealing the gasket surface (A) must be dirt free.

Troubleshooting
The washing machine automatically monitors the execution of particular functions during the operation, and reports any detected failures. In
such cases both signal LED’s start ashing in
certain sequence. Flashing sequence changes in accordance with the nature of the detected failure. In some cases you may attempt correcting certain
failures yourself, so count the number of ashes
which repeat after a pause. The machine signals failures immediately after detecting them and stops the program, except for heater failure, where the machine completes the washing program without heating water.
Failures: In certain cases you may remove the failure yourself (Refer to chart on page 25):
2 - two ashes: door is not correctly closed; 3 - three ashes: water inlet problem; 7 - seven ashes: water outlet problem.
In all other instances mark the number of ashes
indicating the failure, switch off the machine and call nearest authorized service center (LED’s continue
ashing until you switch the machine off).
Environmental interference (for example electrical wiring) could induce signalization of different faults. In such cases:
- switch the appliance off, and wait for a few
seconds;
- switch the appliance back on and repeat the
washing program.
If the fault repeats, call authorized service shop.
