How do I start a wash cycle?

Open the door, load laundry, close door, add detergent to the drawer, select a programme using the programme selector, adjust settings if needed, and press the Start/Pause button. The machine will begin after a few seconds.

Why is the door not opening after the cycle?

The door lock remains engaged for about 2 minutes after the programme ends for safety. Wait until the Door Security indicator light goes out, then open the door. Ensure the selector is turned to OFF.

How can I delay the start of a wash?

After selecting a programme, press the Delay Start button. Each press increases the delay by 1 hour, up to 24 hours (h24). Confirm by pressing Start/Pause. To cancel, hold the Delay Start button for 5 seconds.

What does the Extra Rinse function do?

The Extra Rinse button adds a special rinse cycle with more water to remove detergent residues, ideal for sensitive skin, baby clothes, or heavily soiled loads. Not available on Wool programmes.

How do I clean the detergent drawer?

Pull the drawer out firmly, rinse all compartments under running water, and reassemble. Clean occasionally to prevent blockages. Refer to the manual for detailed steps.

What should I do if the machine vibrates during spin?

Check that the machine is level using the adjustable feet. Ensure transit brackets are removed (if new installation). Redistribute the laundry evenly in the drum to avoid imbalance.

How do I clean the filter?

Open the flap at the front, place a towel under the filter cap, turn the filter counterclockwise to remove, clean it, and replace. Recommended monthly. If water is inside, drain via the corrugated hose first.

Description of Controls

G EXTRA RINSE button

Press the button to select or deselect this function.

Thanks to the new electronic system, it is possible to effect a new special rinse cycle by using this button. The addition of a lot more water and the new action combining of cycles of rotation of the drum with loading and unloading of water, allow the laundry to be perfectly rinsed.

This function has been designed for the people with delicate and sensitive skin, for which the smallest residue of detergent can cause irritations or allergies.

It advisable to also use this function for the children's items and in case of washings of very dirty items, for which it is due to use a lot of detergent, or in the washing of towelling items whose fibers mostly have the tendency to hold the detergent.

This option is not available on WOOL programmes.

H STRONG WASH Button

By pressing this button, which can only be activated in the Cotton cycles, the sensors in the new system come into operation. They affect both the selected temperature, keeping it at a constant level throughout the wash cycle, and the mechanical function of the drum.

The drum is made to turn at two different speeds at crucial moments. When the detergent enters the garments, the drum rotates in such a way that the detergent is distributed in a uniform manner; during the wash and rinse procedures, however, the speed increases in order to maximise the cleaning action. Thanks to this special system, the efficiency of the wash procedure is improved WITHOUT ANY INCREASE IN THE LENGTH OF THE PROGRAM.

I SPIN SPEED button

The spin cycle is very important to remove as much water as possible from the laundry without damaging the fabrics. You can adjust the spin speed of the machine to suit your needs.

By pressing this button, it is possible to reduce the maximum speed, and if you wish, the spin cycle can be cancelled.

To reactivate the spin cycle press the button until you reach the spin speed you would like to set. To prevent damage to the fabrics, it is not possible to increase the speed over that which is automatically suitable during the selection of the program.

It is possible to modify the spin speed without pausing the machine.

NOTE:

The machine is fitted with a special electronic device, which prevents the spin cycle should the load be unbalanced.

This reduces the noise and vibration in the machine and so prolongs the life of your machine.

Table of Programmes

Please read these notes

* Maximum load capacity of dry clothes, according to the model used (see rating label). When washing heavily soiled laundry it is recommended the load is reduced to 3/4 kg maximum.

** STANDARD COTTON PROGRAMMES ACCORDING TO (EU) No 1015/2010 and No 1061/2010

COTTON PROGRAMME with a temperature of 60°C COTTON PROGRAMME with a temperature of 40°C

These programmes are suitable to clean normally soiled cotton laundry and they are the most efficient programmes in terms of combined energy and water consumptions for washing cotton laundry. These programmes have been developed to be compliant with the temperature on the wash label on the garments and the actual water temperature may slightly differ from the declared temperature of the cycle.

The spin speed may also be reduced, to match any guidelines suggested on the fabric label, or for very delicate fabrics cancel the spin completely this option is available with a spin speed button.

■ Pressing the wash temperature button makes it possible to wash at any temperature below the maximum allowed.

1) For the programmes shown you can adjust the duration and intensity of the wash using the Wash Time button.

For the various types of fabrics and various degrees of dirt the washing machine has different programme bands according to: wash cycle, temperature and length of cycle (see table of washing cycle programmes).

RESISTANTS FABRICS (Cotton)

The programmes have been designed for a maximum wash and the rinses, with spin intervals, ensure perfect rinsing.

The final spin gives more efficient removal of water.

MIXED AND SYNTHETIC FABRICS (Synthetics)

The main wash and the rinse give best results thanks to the rotation rhythms of the drum and to the water levels.

A gentle spin will mean that the fabrics become less creased.

SPECIAL DELICATE FABRIC (Delicates)

This is a new wash cycle which alternates washing and soaking and is particularly recommended for very delicate fabrics.

The wash cycle and rinses are carried out with high water levels to ensure best results.

SPECIAL "RINSE" PROGRAMME (Rinse)

This programme carries out three rinses with a intermediate spin (which can be reduced or excluded by using the correct button). It can be used for rinsing any type of fabric, eg. use after hand-washing.

SPECIAL "SPIN" PROGRAMME © (Spin)

Programme *SPIN* carries out a maximum spin (which can be reduced by using the correct button).

DRAIN ONLY (Drain)

This programme drains out the water.

SPECIAL "HAND WASH" (Hand wash)

This washing machine also has a gentle Hand Wash programme cycle.

This programme allows a complete washing cycle for garments specified

as "Hand Wash only" on the fabric care label. The programme has a

temperature of 30° C and concludes with 3 rinses and a slow spin.

WOOL PROGRAMME (Wool)

The special cycle enables to thoroughly wash garments without damaging them. The cycle comprises of alternate periods of activity and pauses. The programme has a maximum temperature of 40° and concludes with 3 rinses and a short spin.

Programme selector

MIXED FABRICS PROGRAMME (Mixed Fabrics)

The main wash and the rinse gives best results thanks to the rotation rhythms of the drum and to the water levels. A gentle spin will mean that the fabrics become less creased.

Important:

- The first washing of new coloured fabrics must be done separately;

- In every case, never mix NON-FAST COLOUREDS fabrics.

30 MINUTE RAPID PROGRAMME

The 30 minute rapid programme allows a complete washing cycle to be carried out in approximately 30 minutes, with up to a maximum load of

2-2.5 kg and a temperature of 40°C.

When selecting the "30 minute rapid" programme, please note that we recommend you use only 20% of the recommended quantities shown on the detergent pack.

Auto Half Load

The washing machine is fitted with a self-adjusting water level system.

This system enables the machine to use the amount of water needed to wash and rinse the laundry in relation to the particular load.

This results in a reduction of the water and electricity used, without in any way compromising the washing and rinsing performance.

In fact the amount of water and electricity used will always be appropriate for the clothes load. The washing machine automatically ensures excellent washing results at minimum cost whilst respecting the environment.

Detergent Drawer

N Detergent Drawer

The detergent drawer is split into 3 compartments:

• The compartment labelled *1* is for prewash detergent;
• The compartment labelled * is for special additives, fabric softeners, fragrances, starch, brighteners etc;
• The compartment labelled *2* is for main wash detergent. Only use front loader washing detergent either liquid or powder.

NOTE:

Some Detergents are Difficult to utilise. Ensure to use an in drum dispenser if recommended by the detergent Manufacturer.

NOTE:

Only put liquid products in the compartment labelled "✗". The machine is programmed to automatically take up additives during the final rinse stage for all wash cycles.

Detergents, Washing Aids & Amounts to Use

Choice of detergent

General purpose detergents

• Powder detergents, for a thorough wash, with bleaching agent, particularly suitable for use in hot wash programmes (60°C and over), for heavily soiled and stained laundry.
• Liquid detergents, particularly suitable for grease stains, such as greasy skin marks, cosmetics and oil. These detergents are not suitable for washing stained laundry, as they do not contain bleach.
• Biological detergents, not all the products available give a really thorough wash.

Additional laundry aids

- Water softener, means less detergent can be used where water hardness is classed as hard to very hard.

- Prewash substances, for the programmed treatment of stains prior to the main wash.

Using those means the subsequent wash can be at a low temperature or with bleach-free detergents.

- Fabric softener prevents static build-up in synthetic fabrics and softens fabrics.

If you own a tumble dryer, clothes are softened even without the use of a fabric softener.

Note: Do not put solvents in the washing machine!

Keep detergents and other laundry products out of children's reach.

Before pouring in the detergent, please check that there are no foreign bodies in the detergent drawer.

Dosage details are usually shown on the detergent packaging. Follow those instructions.

Front Loader Washing Machine Dosages

Only use detergents which are suitable for use in a washing machine.

You will obtain the best results from your wash with the minimum use of chemical products and the best care for your laundry if you take into consideration the degree of soiling as well as the type of detergent to choose.

The amount of detergent to use depends on:

- Water hardness: depending on the hardness of the water and the type of detergent used, it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent.

- The degree of soiling; it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent used depending on the degree of soiling.

- Amount of laundry: It is possible to reduce the amount of detergent when washing only a small amount of laundry.

Front Loader Washing Machine Dosage for Powder Detergent

For normal and low concentration detergents: for normally soiled laundry choose a programme without prewash.

Put the detergent in compartment "2" of the drawer.

For heavily soiled laundry, choose a programme with prewash.

Put 1/4 of the detergent in compartment "1", 3/4 in compartment "2" of the drawer.

When using water softeners, first put in the detergent, and then add the softener to compartment "2". For highly concentrated detergents not in single dose format, follow what is shown on pack exactly as regards type and amount of dosage.

To avoid the difficulty of checking if the detergent has been taken up, use the dosage aids provided in the detergent packaging.

Front Loader Washing Machine Liquid detergent dosage

Liquid detergents may be used in accordance with the instructions on the relevant packaging, for all programmes without prewash, by using the special container which is placed in the drum or, for those models that have it, in the special insert for liquid detergents.

Useful Advice for Users

Tips on using your domestic appliance in the most environmentally-friendly and economical way

Do a full load in your washing machine

To prevent any possible waste of energy, water or detergent we recommend that you put a full load in your washing machine, not exceed the recommended maximum load size.

Up to 50% energy saving can be made with one full load compared to two half load washes.

When is prewashing really needed?

Only with particularly dirty loads!

Energy savings of 5 to 15% are made by not selecting the prewash option for normal soiled laundry.

Which wash temperature should you choose?

Using stain removers before machine washing reduces the need to wash at temperatures over 60°C.

Energy savings of up to 50% can be made by using a 60°C wash temperature rather than

90°C.

Main Wash

Sorting the laundry

It is recommended you wash only items which are machine washable with water and detergent and not dry-clean items.
- If you need to wash rugs, bedspreads or other heavy items, it is best not to spin them.
Washing these items may damage your washing machine which may void your manufacturer warranty.
- Sort the laundry according to fabric type, degree of soiling and wash temperature: Always follow the wash care advice on the garment label for the most suitable care and treatment of the laundry

Laundry for hot wash 95°

Coloured, easy-care materials

Delicates and wool

Wash by hand

Items labelled with the following symbol are not suitable for machine washing:

Dry clean

For very delicate items, such as net curtains, underwear, tights etc., you are advised to use a laundry net or wash bag.

- Woollen items must be labelled with the "Pure New Wool" symbol to be washed in the machine, and must also be labelled "non-matting" or "machine washable".

- Colour often leaks from new coloured items.

This can then colour other lighter items being washed.

We therefore recommend that coloured items should be washed for the first time separately.

For future washes, colourfast items can only be washed with whites up to 40°C.

Note: when sorting laundry

- check there are no metal objects in the laundry

(Such as paper clips, safety pins, pins, coins etc...):

- button up pillowcases, fasten zips, hook & eye fasteners, belts and long dressing gown cords;

- remove curtain hooks;

- pay close attention to the labels on items

- If you notice stubborn stains whilst sorting the laundry, remove them using a special detergent or a special stain remover.

- We recommend that you do not do a full load of toweling items only as these become too heavy since they absorb a lot of water.

Main Wash

The correct way to wash

Preparing the laundry

A) Select the laundry.

Loading the laundry

B) Open the porthole.

C) Put the laundry in the washing machine.

Close the porthole again, ensuring that no items of laundry are obstructing the lock.

Putting detergent in machine

D) Open the drawer, choose the detergent and put in the correct amount, according to the manufacturer's instructions and the advice on page 44. Add any other laundry aids (see page 44). Close the drawer again.

Selecting the wash programme

Refer to the programme guide or the programme descriptions on the machine to select the most suitable programme.

Turning the selector knob, the required programme is activated. Adjust the wash temperature if necessary.

Press additional function buttons (if required).

Check that the tap is turned on and that the discharge hose is positioned correctly. Press the "Start/Pause" button.

When the "Start/Pause" button is pressed the machine sets the working sequence in motion.

The programme carries out with the programme selector stationary on the selected programme till cycle ends.

Warning: If there is any break in the power supply while the machine is operating, a special memory is the selected programme and, when the power is restored, it continues where it left off.

When the programme is finished

The word "End" will appear on the display.

Wait for the door lock to be released (about 2 minutes after the programme has finished). The "Door Security" Indicator light will go out.

Switch off the machine by turning the programme selector on the "OFF" position. Open the door and remove the laundry. Turn off the tap.

Cleaning and routine maintenance

Do not use alcohol-based scourers and / or thinners on the outside of your washing machine, just a wipe with a damp cloth will suffice. The washing machine needs very little maintenance:

• Cleaning the drawer compartments.
• Cleaning the filter.
  Cleaning the door glass.

Cleaning the drawer compartments

Even if it is not strictly necessary, it is good to clean the compartments for bleaching detergents and additives occasionally.

A) To do this you just need to pull them out firmly, but without forcing them.
B) Clean everything in the compartment under running water.
C) Put everything back in its proper place.

Cleaning the filter

The washing machine is fitted with a special filter for handling large deposits which could block the discharge hose (coins, buttons etc.) and which can, therefore, be easily retrieved.

We recommend that the filter be cleaned at least once a month.

The cleaning operation is as follows:

1) Open the flap

2) Only available on certain models: Pull out the corrugated hose, remove the stopper and drain the water into a container.
3) Before removing the filter, place an absorbent towel below the filter cap to collect the small amount of water likely to be inside the pump
4) Turn the filter anti-clockwise until it stops in the vertical position. Remove and clean.
5) After cleaning, replace by turning the notch on the end of the filter clock wise. Then follow all procedures described above in reverse order.

Attention: if the filter needs cleaning while there is washing still in the drum, follow the above instructions to empty the water. This will prevent excessive loss of water via the filter.

Cleaning and routine maintenance

Cleaning the door glass

Regularly clean the door glass and silicone ring with a damp cloth. A buildup of soiling and residues from the water may result in water leaking from the door.

Do not use abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the surface.

Transporting the appliance or long periods when appliance is not in use

If the appliance is being transported or is out of use for long periods in unheated places, all remaining water must be completely removed from the hoses.

Ensure mains power is off, then unclip the hose and point it downwards into a basin until all the water has emptied out.

When finished, please clip the hose properly.

The machine makes a different noise when spinning! This is because it has a brush motor for better performance.
Only a small level of water can be seen in the drum! This is because new machines do not use much water, yet achieve the same standard of washing and rinsing.

Investigating Malfunctions

Note:

The use of environmentally-friendly, phosphate-free detergents can have the following effects:

• Waste water from rinsing may be cloudier because of the presence of zeolites held in suspension, with out the rinse performance being adversely affected;
• Presence of white powder (zeolites) on laundry after washing, which is not absorbed by the fabric and does not alter the colour of the fabric.
• The presence of foam in the final rinsing water is not necessarily an indication of poor rinsing.
• Anionic surfactants used in washing detergent formulae often prove to be difficult to remove from the laundry itself and, even in small quantities, can still cause considerable foam production.
• Carrying out more rinse cycles does not serve any purpose in such cases.

Setting up & Installation

1 Remove the polystyrene base and place the machine near its permanent position (diagram 1).
2 Carefully cut through the hose retaining clip at the rear of the appliance (diagram 2).
3 Remove the 4 fixing screws marked (A) and remove the 4 spacers marked (B) (diagram 3).
4 Cover the 4 holes using the caps provided in the Instruction booklet pack (diagram 4).

WARNING:

DO NOT LEAVE THE PACKAGING WITHIN REACH OF CHILDREN AS IT IS A POTENTIAL SOURCE OF DANGER.

Apply the insulation sheet of corrugated material to the base as shown.

Use the 4 feet to level the machine with the floor;

a) Turn the nut clockwise to release the screw adjuster on the foot. b) Rotate the foot to raise or lower it until it stands firmly on the A ground. c) Lock the foot in position by turning the nut anti-clockwise until it comes up against the bottom of the machine.

Setting up & Installation

Note:

we recommend you keep the screws to immobilise the machine for future transit. The Manufacturers will not be responsible for any possible damage to the machine caused by not following the rules relating to releasing the mechanism. The user is responsible for all costs of installation.

Water connection

The appliance must be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets. The old hose-sets should not be re-used. The machine has an inlet hose with 3/4" B.S.P threaded end connection to attach between the threaded connector on the appliance and the cold water supply.

Note:

This machine only uses cold water; therefore only one hose is needed to connect to the cold water supply. Do not connect to the hot supply. Cold fill is an energy efficient system. Only the water required for the washing is heated. There is no loss of heat in the pipeline from a hot water tank or boiler to the machine.

It is advisable to turn off the tap after each wash to isolate the washing machine from the water supply.

For the washing machine to function properly the terminal end of the discharge hose (mouth) must be at a minimum of 50 cm and a maximum of 85 cm from the ground.

Electricity Supply & Safety Advice

Washing machines are supplied to operate at a voltage of 220V, 50 Hz single-phase. Check that the conductor is powerful enough to supply at least 3.0 kW, and then connect the plug to a 10A earthed socket. After installation, the appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible. Check that the electricity supply to your home has an earthing system.

The socket in your home and the plug on the appliance must be of the same type. WARNING: Do not use this appliance with a cord extension set, multiple connector or electrical portable outlet device due to risk of overload, splashing or ingress of moisture.

All washing machines comply with the safety requirements laid down by the Quality Trademark Institute.

ATTENTION:

If the power supply cord or plug of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by an authorised service centre or qualified electrician.

This appliance is marked according to the European directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). WEEE contains both polluting substances (which can cause negative consequences for the environment) and basic components (which can be re-used). It is important to have WEEE subjected to specific treatments, order to remove and dispose properly all pollutants, and recover and recycle all materials. Individuals can play an important role in ensuring that WEEE does not become an environmental issue; it is essential to follow some basic rules:

- WEEE should not be treated as household waste;

- WEEE should be handed over to the relevant collection points managed by the municipality or by registered companies. In many countries, for large WEEE, home collection could be present.

In many countries, when you buy a new appliance, the old one may be returned to the retailer who has to collect it free of charge on a one-to-one basis, as long as the equipment is of equivalent type and has the same functions as the supplied equipment.
