Warnings

The following warnings are provided in the interests of overall safety. You must read them carefully before
installing or using the appliance.

Installation

• All internal packing must be removed before using
the appliance. Serious damage may be caused to
the machine or adjacent furniture if the protective
transit devices are not removed or are not
completely removed. Refer to the relevant
paragraph in the instruction book.

• Any electrical work required to install this appliance
must be carried out by a qualified electrician.

• Any plumbing work required to install this
appliance must be carried out by a qualified
plumber.

• After having installed the machine, check that it is
not standing on its electrical supply cable.

• If the appliance is placed on a carpeted floor,
ensure that air can circulate freely between the feet
and the floor.

Use

• This appliance is designed for domestic use. It
must not be used for purposes other than those for
which it was designed.

• Only wash fabrics which are designed to be
machine washed. Follow the instructions on each
garment label.

• Do not overload the appliance. Follow the
instructions in the instruction book.

• Make sure that all pockets are empty. Objects such
as coins, safety pins, pins and screws can cause
extensive damage.

• Do not machine wash garments saturated with
petroleum, methylated spirits, trichlorethylene, etc.
If such fluids have been used to remove stains
prior to washing, wait until they have completely
evaporated from the fabric before placing garments
in the appliance.

• Place small items such as socks, belts, etc. in a
cloth bag or pillowcase to prevent them getting
trapped between the drum and the tub.

• Use only the recommended quantities of fabric
softener. An excessive amount could damage the
laundry.

• Leave the porthole door slightly ajar when the
appliance is not in use. This preserves the door
seal and prevents the formation of musty smells.

• Always check that water has emptied out before
opening the door. If not, drain the water following
the instructions in the instruction book.

• Always unplug the appliance and shut the water
tap after use.

General safety

• Repairs to the machine must be carried out only by
qualified personnel. Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons could cause serious
danger. Contact your local Service Centre.

• Never pull the power supply cable to remove the
plug from the socket; always take hold of the plug
itself.

• During high temperature wash programmes the
door glass may get hot. Do not touch it!

28

Child safety

P1131

• 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. To avoid this the machine incorporates a
special feature. To activate this device, rotate the
button (without pressing it) inside the door
clockwise until the groove is horizontal. If
necessary use a coin.

Disposal

To disable this device and restore the possibility of
closing the door, rotate the button anti-clockwise until
the groove is vertical.

ENGLISH

• 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.

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.

Tips for environmental protection

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, but do not overload it (see maximum load
on page 30).

Machine

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

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

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

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.
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.

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

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

ENGLISH

Positioning

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

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

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

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

Connect the water inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4"
thread.
Do not use already employed hoses.

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.

31

Water drainage

P1118

P0022

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.

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.

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 should be carried
out by our Service Centre.

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

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

This new washing machine meets all modern needs for effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy
and detergent consumption.

Further savings are achieved by washing small loads of laundry, since water and electricity consumption is
proportional to the quantity and type of laundry being washed.

• The possibility of selecting the temperature, spin speed and all the options offered by this washing machine

gives you truly “customised” washing.

• The DELAY START option allows you to delay starting of the wash programme to any time of day, so

allowing you for instance to make use of overnight economy electricity tariffs.

• The programme progress display shows the programme steps selected and the programme phase which

is running.

• The special wool programme with its new delicate wash system treats your woollens with extreme care.

• The balance control device ensures the machine is stable during the spin.

• The ECO valve allows total use of detergent and reduces water consumption so saving energy.

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;

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 (*),

39

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.

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 or soak must be
selected.

The washing machine incorporates a recirculation
system which allows an optimal use of the
concentrated detergent.

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.

Operating sequence

Before the first wash we recommend that you pour 2
litres of water into the main wash compartment
of the detergent drawer in order to activate the ECO
valve. Then run a cotton cycle at 60°C, with the
machine empty, in order to remove any
manufacturing residue from the drum and tub.
Pour half a measure of detergent into the main wash
compartment and start up the machine.

1. Place the laundry in the drum

Open the door.

Place the laundry in the drum, one item at a time,
shaking them out as much as possible.

Close the door.

2. Measure out the detergent

Pull out the dispenser drawer until it stops. Measure
out the amount of detergent recommended by the
manufacturer in a graduated cup and pour it into the
main wash compartment .

If you wish to carry out a soak or a prewash
programme, pour detergent into the appropriate
compartment marked .

To switch the machine on, press the ON/OFF button

: the mains-on light comes on.

The display will show three blinking dashes or a
blinking zero.

5. Select the desired programme / fabric

Press the FABRIC (TEJIDOS) button repeatedly, in
order to select the desired programme/fabric. The
relevant light will light up.

The lights relevant to the phases that form the
programme will light up.

The display will show the duration of the selected
programme, calculated on the basis of the maximum
load for each type of fabric. The START/PAUSE
(INICIO/PAUSA) button light will start flashing.

If the load of laundry to be washed is small, at the
beginning of the cycle the display will still indicate the
duration relevant to the maximum load. The duration
value will be gradually adjusted during the execution
of the cycle.

3. Measure out the additive

If required, pour fabric softener into the compartment
marked , without exceeding the «MAX» mark.
Close the drawer gently. This is particularly important
if you are using a fabric conditioner because if the
drawer is slammed it will cause the conditioner to
enter the machine prematurely.

6. Select the temperature

Press the TEMPERATURE button if you wish to
select a temperature value different from the one
proposed by the washing machine.
The relevant light will light up.

If you select the NIGHT WASH option, the machine
will stop at the end of the programme with the water
still in the tub. The relevant light will light up.

8. Select the desired options

If your laundry is very dirty, it may be advisable to
select the PREWASH (PRELAVADO) option.
If you wish the laundry to undergo a soak, select the
SOAK (REMOJO) option.
If your laundry is only slightly soiled, select the
QUICK (FUNCION EXPRESS) option.

9. Select the SUPER RINSE (ACLARADO
ADICIONAL) and/or ECONOMY 40° AA
option

If you wish the laundry to undergo an extra rinse,
select the SUPER RINSE option.

If your laundry is lightly or normally soiled and it is
necessary to prolong the washing time, select the
ECONOMY 40° AA option.

11. Select the DELAY TIME (INICIO

Before you start the programme, if you wish the

starting to be delayed, press the DELAY (INICIO
DIFERIDO) button repeatedly, or keep it pressed, to
select the desired delay. The selected delay time
value (up to 24 hours) will appear on the display for 3
seconds, then the duration of the programme will
appear again.

12. Start the programme

Press the START/PAUSE button. The relevant light
will stop flashing, the DOOR LOCKED light will light
up, and only the light relevant to the phase that is in
progress will remain lit.
If you have chosen a delayed start, the washing
machine will begin the countdown.
The display will show the duration of the programme

or the selected delay.

43

13. How to change a programme
during its cycle

Before you make any change, you must pause the
washing machine by pressing the START/PAUSE
button.
It is possible to change any phase before the
programme carries it out.
Changing the type of fabric or temperature is
possible, obviously, only during the washing phase.
When you make a change in these two parameters,
the washing machine will resume the cycle from the
beginning.

If it is necessary to drain the water in order to change
the programme in progress, proceed as follows:

• PAUSE the machine by pressing the

START/PAUSE button;

• press the RESET (ANULAR) button repeatedly,

until only the DRAIN light remains lit;

• press the START/PAUSE button again.

When the water has been drained, the display shows
a blinking zero. You may now select a new
programme and press the START/PAUSE button to
start it.

14. How to cancel a programme
during its cycle

To cancel a programme that is being carried out, first
pause the washing machine by pressing the
START/PAUSE button, then press the RESET
(ANULAR) button repeatedly, until the display shows

three blinking dashes.

15. How to open the door during
a programme

You can open the door, after having set the washing
machine to PAUSE, provided the following
conditions exist:

• the washing machine is not in the heating phase

beyond 55°C;

• the level of the water is not high;

• the drum is not turning.

If these requirements are met, when you pause the
washing machine, the DOOR LOCKED light goes
out and the door can be opened.

Should it not be possible to open the door, and
should it be absolutely necessary to do so, switch
the machine off by pressing the ON/OFF button.

After approximately 3 minutes, you can open the
door.

Pay attention to the level and temperature of the
water in the washing machine!

When you close the door and press the ON/OFF
button again, the washing machine will resume the
programme from the point where it had been
interrupted.

16. End of programme

At the end of the programme, the washing machine
stops automatically, gives an audible signal, and
displays a blinking zero.

If you had selected the NIGHT WASH (CICLO
NOCHE) option, the START/PAUSE button light
flashes to indicate that the water must be drained.
The display shows a steadily lit zero.
When the programme has been completed, a
blinking zero appears on the display and the audible
signal is given.

The DOOR LOCKED light goes out at once.

Press the RESET (ANULAR) button repeatedly to
erase the programme that has just been carried
out. If you omit to do this, the next time you
switch the washing machine on, the blinking zero
will appear on the display and you will hear the
audible signal.

Note: when you switch the machine on, if you must

erase the previously performed programme, it is also
sufficient to press the FABRIC (TEJIDOS) button
and select a new programme.

Press the ON/OFF button to switch the machine off.
The relevant light will go out.

Remove the laundry from the washing machine.

Check whether the drum is completely empty, by
rotating it with your hand. The purpose of this is to
prevent any items of laundry from remaining
accidentally in the drum, where they might get
damaged in a subsequent wash (e.g. by shrinking) or
bleed colour into another load of laundry.

We advise you to close the water supply tap and
disconnect the plug from the socket.

Leave the door ajar in order to air the washing
machine.

P0038

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.

Door seal

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

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.

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 pump 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. Always keep a rag nearby to
dry up spillage of water when removing the pump.

46

• Remove any objects from the pump impeller by

P1090

P1098

P1097

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.

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.

Clean the filter with a stiff brush.

Screw the hose back onto the tap.

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 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.

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.

ENGLISH

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.

47

Something not working?

Problems which you can resolve yourself.

During machine operation it is possible that one of the following alarm codes appears on the display:

- E10: problem with the water supply

- E20: problem with water draining

- E40: door open

Once the problem has been eliminated, press the START/PAUSE button to restart the programme. If after
all checks, the problem persists, contact your local Service Centre.

performance.

P1034UK

Problem Possible cause

• Spinning starts late or the laundry is
not spun enough:

• The electronic unbalance detection 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 few minutes, the
laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum,
the machine will spin at a lower speed or will not
spin. If at the end of the programme the laundry is
not spun enough, redistribute the load manually
and select the spin programme.

ENGLISH

If you are unable to identify or solve the problem,
contact our service centre. Before telephoning, make
a note of the model, serial number and purchase
date of your machine: the Service Centre will require
this information.
