Disposal

Tips for environmental protection

Packaging materials

The materials marked with the symbol are
recyclable.

>PE<=polyethylene
>PS<=polystyrene
>PP<=polypropylene

This means that they can be recycled by disposing
of them properly in appropriate collection containers.

Machine

Use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance.
Help to keep your country tidy!

To save water, energy and to help protect the
environment, we recommend that you follow these
tips:

• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without
prewashing in order to save detergent, water and
time (the environment is protected too!).

• The machine works more economically if it is fully
loaded. Do not overload!

• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited
soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be
washed at a lower temperature.

• Measure out detergent according to the water
hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of
laundry being washed.

Child safety

• Children are often not aware of how dangerous
electrical appliances can be. When the machine is
working, children should be carefully supervised
and not be allowed to play with the appliance.

• The packaging components (e.g. plastic film,
polystyrene) can be dangerous to children - danger
of suffocation! Keep them out of children’s reach.

• Keep all detergents in a safe place out of
children’s reach.

• Make sure that children or pets do not climb into
the drum.

• When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the
electrical supply cable and destroy the plug with
the remaining cable. Disable the door catch in
order to prevent children from becoming trapped
inside while playing.

Unpacking

All transit bolts and packing must be
removed before using the appliance.

You are advised to keep all transit devices so that
they can be refitted if the machine ever has to be
transported again.

1. Using a spanner, unscrew and remove the two
rear bottom screws. Slide out the two plastic
pins.

2. Lay the machine on its back, taking care not to
squash the hoses. This can be avoided by
placing one of the corner packing pieces
between the machine and the floor.

3. Remove the polystyrene block from the bottom of
the machine and release the two plastic bags.

4. Very carefully slide out the left polythene bag,
removing it towards the right and then
downwards.

5. Very carefully slide out the right polythene bag,
removing it towards the left and then upwards.

6. Set the machine upright and remove the
remaining rear screw. Slide out the relevant pin.

7. Plug all the holes with the plugs which you will
find in the envelope containing the instruction
booklet.

Positioning and levelling

Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
Make sure that air circulation around the machine is
not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that the
machine does not touch the wall or other kitchen
units.
Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in or
out. Never place cardboard, wood or similar
materials under the machine to compensate for any
unevenness in the floor.

Water inlet

Connect the water inlet hose supplied with the
machine to a tap with a 3/4" thread.

Do not use already employed hoses for water
connection.

Installation

72

The other end of the inlet hose which connects to
the machine can be turned in any direction. Simply
loosen the fitting, rotate the hose and retighten the
fitting, making sure there are no water leaks.

The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too
short and you do not wish to move the tap, you will
have to purchase a new, longer hose specially
designed for this type of use.

Important!

Before connecting up the machine to new pipework
or to pipework that has not been used for some
time, run off a reasonable amount of water to flush
out any debris that may have collected in the pipes.

Water drainage

The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three
ways:

Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plastic
hose guide supplied with the machine. In this

case, make sure the end cannot come unhooked
when the machine is emptying.
This could be done by tying it to the tap with a piece
of string or attaching it to the wall.

In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must be
above the trap so that the bend is at least 60 cm
above the ground.

P0022

P0021

Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less
than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm.
The end of the drain hose must always be
ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain pipe
must be larger than the outside diameter of the drain
hose.

The drain hose must not be kinked.

For a correct functioning of the machine the
drain hose must be hooked on the proper
support piece situated on the top part of the back
side of the appliance.

Electrical connection

This machine is designed to operate on a 220-230 V,
single-phase, 50 Hz supply.

Check that your domestic electrical installation can
take the maximum load required (2.2 kW), also
taking into account any other appliances in use.

Connect the machine to an earthed socket.

The manufacturer declines any responsibility
for damage or injury through failure to comply
with the above safety precaution.
Should the appliance power supply cable
need to be replaced, this must be carried out
by our Service Centre.

Please ensure that when the appliance is
installed the power supply cable is easily
accessible.

Washing hints

Sorting the laundry

Follow the wash code symbols on each garment
label and the manufacturer’s washing instructions.
Sort the laundry as follows:
whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.

Temperatures
95°

for normally soiled white cottons and linen
(e.g. tea cloths, towels, tablecloths,
sheets...)

60° for normally soiled, colour fast garments

(e.g. shirts, night dresses, pyjamas....) in

linen, cotton or synthetic fibres and for
lightly soiled white cotton (e.g. underwear).

(cold)for delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed

30°-40° laundry including synthetic fibres and

woollens bearing the label «pure new
wool, machine washable, non-shrink».

Before loading the laundry

Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites
may lose their “whiteness” in the wash.

New coloured items may run in the first wash; they
should therefore be washed separately the first time.

Make sure that no metal objects are left in the
laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).

Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks
and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.

Remove persistent stains before washing. Rub
particularly soiled areas with a special detergent or
detergent paste.

Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or
tie them up in a bag or net.

Maximum loads

Recommended loads are indicated in the
programme charts.

General rules:

Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed;
Synthetics: drum no more than half full;
Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more than

one third full.
Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient

use of water and energy.
For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.

Laundry weights

The following weights are indicative:
bathrobe 1200 g
napkin 100 g
quilt cover 700 g
sheet 500 g
pillow case 200 g
tablecloth 250 g
towelling towel 200 g
tea cloth 100 g
night dress 200 g
ladies’ briefs 100 g
man’s work shirt 600 g
man’s shirt 200 g
man’s pyjamas 500 g
blouse 100 g
men’s underpants 100 g

Removing stains

Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water
and detergent. It is therefore advisable to treat them
prior to washing.

Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried
stains, soak overnight in water with a special
detergent then rub in the soap and water.

Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain
remover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the
stain; treat several times.

Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay
the garment on a soft surface and dab the stain with
the fingertips and a cotton cloth.

Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust
removing product used cold. Be careful with rust
stains which are not recent since the cellulose
structure will already have been damaged and the
fabric tends to hole.

Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whites
and fast coloureds only).

Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and
fast coloureds only).

Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone (*),
lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.

Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat
stains with methylated spirits. Remove any residual
marks from white fabrics with bleach.

Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and
treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse. Treat any
residual marks with bleach.

76

Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric
first with acetone (*), then with acetic acid; treat any
residual marks on white fabrics with bleach and then
rinse thoroughly.

Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated
spirits or benzine, then rub with detergent paste.

(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk.

Detergents and additives

Good washing results also depend on the choice of
detergent and use of the correct quantities to avoid
waste and protect the environment. Although
biodegradable, detergents contain substances
which, in large quantities, can upset the delicate
balance of nature.

The choice of detergent will depend on the type of
fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the colour,
washing temperature and degree of soiling.

All commonly available washing machine detergents
may be used in this appliance:

– powder detergents for all types of fabric,
– powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C max)

and woollens,

– liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature

wash programmes (60°C max) for all types of
fabric, or special for woollens only.

The detergent and any additives must be placed in
the appropriate compartments of the dispenser
drawer before starting the wash programme.

If using concentrated powder or liquid detergents, a
programme without prewash must be selected.

Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer
compartment marked just before starting the
programme.

Any fabric softener or starching additives must be
poured into the compartment marked before
starting the wash programme.

Follow the product manufacturer’s
recommendations on quantities to use and do not

exceed the «MAX» mark in the detergent
dispenser drawer.

Quantity of detergent to be used

The type and quantity of detergent will depend on
the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and
hardness of the water used.

Water hardness is classified in so-called “degrees”
of hardness. Information on hardness of the water in
your area can be obtained from the relevant water
supply company, or from your local authority.

Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on
quantities to use.

Use less detergent if:
– you are washing a small load,
– the laundry is lightly soiled,
– large amounts of foam form during washing.

1. Bodywork

Clean the outside of the machine with soap and
water only. Rinse with clean water and dry with a
soft cloth.

Important: do not use methylated spirits, solvents
or similar products to clean the bodywork.

2. Door seal

Check from time to time the door seal and eliminate
eventual possible objects that could be trapped in
the fold.

3. Detergent dispenser drawer

After a while, detergents and fabric softeners leave
deposits in the drawer.

Clean the drawer from time to time by rinsing it
under a running tap. To remove the drawer from the
machine, press the button in the rear left-hand
corner.

To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the additive
compartments can be removed.

Detergent can also accumulate inside the drawer
recess: clean it with an old toothbrush. Refit the
drawer after cleaning.

4. Drain pump

The pump should be inspected regularly and
particularly if

• the machine does not empty and/or spin

• the machine makes an unusual noise during
draining due to objects such as safety pins, coins
etc. blocking the pump.

Proceed as follows:

• Disconnect the appliance.

• If necessary wait until the water has cooled down.

• Open the pump door.

• Place a container close to the filter to collect any
spillage.

• Release the emergency emptying hose, place it in
the container and remove its cap.

• When no more water comes out, unscrew the
pump and remove it. Use the pump door to collect
the remaining water.

ENGLISH

• Remove any objects from the pump impeller by
rotating it.

• Put the cap back on the emergency emptying
hose and place the latter back in its seat.

• Screw the pump fully in.

• Close the pump door.

5. Water inlet filter

If you notice that the machine is taking longer to fill,
check that the filter in the water inlet hose is not
blocked.

Turn off the water tap.
Unscrew the hose from the tap. To do this first

depress the yellow button on the hose.
Clean the filter with a stiff brush.
Screw the hose back onto the tap.

6. Emergency emptying out

If the water is not discharged, proceed as follows to
empty out the machine:

• pull out the plug from the power socket;

• close the water tap;

• if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;

• open the pump door;

• place a bowl on the floor and place the end of the
emergency emptying hose into the bowl. Remove
its cap. The water should drain by gravity into the
bowl. Whe the bowl is full, put the cap back on the
hose. Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until
water stops flowing out;

• clean the pump if necessary as previously
described;

• replace the emergency emptying hose in its seat
after having plugged it;

• screw the pump again and close the door.

P1117

7. Frost precautions

If the machine is installed in a place where the
temperature could drop below 0°C, proceed as
follows:

• Remove the plug from the socket.

• Close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet
hose from the tap.

• Place the end of the emergency emptying hose
and that of the inlet hose in a bowl placed on the
floor and let water drain out.

• Screw the water inlet hose back on and reposition
the emergency emptying hose after having put the
cap on again.

By doing this, any water remaining in the machine is
removed, avoiding the formation of ice and,
consequently, breakage of the affected parts.

When you use the machine again, make sure that
the ambient temperature is above 0°C.

Important!

Every time you drain the water through the
emergency emptying hose you must pour 2 litres of
water into the main wash compartment of the
detergent drawer and then run the drain
programme. This will activate the ECO valve
avoiding that part of the detergent remains unused
at next washing.

Something not working?

Problems which you can resolve yourself, before calling the After Sales Service.

Problem Possible cause

• The machine does not start up:

• The door is not firmly closed.

• The machine is not plugged in or there is no power
at the socket.

• The main fuse has blown.

• The ON/OFF button has not been depressed.

• The machine does not fill:

• The water tap is closed.

• The inlet hose is squashed or kinked.

• The filter in the inlet hose is blocked.

• The door is not properly closed.

• The machine fills then empties
immediately:

• The end of the drain hose is too low. Refer to
relevant paragraph in “water drainage” section.

• The machine does not empty and/or
does not spin:

• The drain hose is squashed or kinked.

• The “Spin suppression” option has been selected.

• A programme which ends with water in the tub
has been selected

• The drain pump is clogged.

• There is water on the floor:

• Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent
(creates too much foam) has been used.

• Check whether there are any leaks from one of the
inlet hose fittings. It is not always easy to see this
as the water runs down the hose; check to see if it
is damp.

• The drain hose is damaged.

• The cap on the emergency emptying hose has not
been replaced after cleaning the pump.

• Unsatisfactory washing results:

• Too little or too much detergent has been used.

• An unsuitable detergent has been used.

• Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to
washing.

• The correct temperature was not selected.

• Excessive laundry load.

• The machine vibrates or is noisy:

• The transit bolts and packing have not been
removed.

• The support feet have not been adjusted.

• The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.

• Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.

• The door will not open:

• The programme is still running.

• The door lock has not been released.

• There is water in the drum.

Problem Possible cause

• Water is not visible in the machine:

• The machine, which is the result of modern
technology, runs in a very economical way with
low water consumption. Performance is
nevertheless excellent.

• Spinning starts late or the machine
does not spin:

• The electronic balance control device has cut in
because the laundry is not evenly distributed in the
drum. The laundry is redistributed by reverse
rotation of the drum. This may happen several
times before the unbalance disappears and normal
spinning can resume. If, after 5 minutes, the
laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum,
the machine will not spin. In this case, redistribute
the load manually and select the spin programme.

• The machine makes an unusual noise

• The machine is fitted with a type of motor which
makes an unusual noise compared with other
traditional motors. This new motor ensures a softer
start and more even distribution of the laundry in
the drum when spinning, as well as increased
stability of the machine.

• Detergent residue is left after the wash
cycle

• This is most probably due to non soluble
components contained in modern detergents. It is
not a sign of inadequate rinsing. Brush or shake
the garments and, if necessary, wash them again.

• Foam remains after the last rinse

• Modern detergents can produce foam even after
rinsing, but this will not affect the quality of the
wash.
