! 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 con- tain vital information relating to the safe instal- lation 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. fit has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any further with the installation process.

8. Remove the 3 protective screws (used during transpor- tation) and the rubber washer with the cor- responding 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 ne- eds to be moved to another location.

! Packaging materials should not be used as toys for children.

1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor, without resting it up against walls, furni- ture cabinets or anything else.

2. If the floor is not perfectly level, com- pensate for any une- venness by tightening or loosening the adjustable front feet (see figure); the angle of inclination, measu- red in relation to the worktop, must not exceed 2°.

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 8/4 gas threaded connection (see figu- re).

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 correspon- ding water inlet of the appliance, which is situated on the top right-hand side of the rear part of the ap- pliance (see figure).

3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over or bent.

! 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.

Ô ARISTON Connecting the drain hose

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, fa- stening the duct sup- plied 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 mains socket, make sure that:

e the socket is earthed and in compliance with the applicable law;

e the socket is able to sustain the appliance's maximum power load indicated on the Tech- nical Data Plate fixed on the machine;

e the supply voltage is included within the values indicated on the Technical Data Plate fixed on the machine.

e the socket is compatible with the washing machine's plug. ff this is not the case, repla- ce the socket or the plug.

Your appliance is now supplied with a 13 amp fused plug it can be plugged into a 18 amp socket for immediate use. Before using the appliance please read the instructions below.

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRI- CIAN.

When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA approved fuse to BS 1362 should always be used, and the fuse cover re-fitted. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement is obtained.

Replacement fuse covers:

If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of the correct colour as indicated by the colou- red marking or the colour that is embossed in words on the base of the plug. Replacements can be obtained directly from your nearest Service Depot.

If your appliance has a non-rewireable moul- ded plug and you should wish to re-route the mains cable through partitions, units etc., please ensure that either:

the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere rewireable plug bearing the BSI mark of ap- proval.

the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp cable outlet, controlled by a switch, (in compliance with BS 5733) which is accessible without moving the appliance.

Disposing of the plug:

Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself, you make the pins unusable so that it cannot be accidentally inserted into a socket.

Instructions for connecting cable to an alterna- tive plug:

Important: the wires in the mains lead are co- loured in accordance with the following code: Green & Yellow Earth

As the colours of the wires in the lead may not correspond with the coloured markings iden- tifving the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

Connect Green & Yellow wire to terminal marked E or + or coloured Green or Green & Yellow.

Connect Brown wire to terminal marked L or coloured Red.

Connect Blue wire to terminal marked N or coloured Black.

If a 13 amp plug (BS 1363) is used it must be fitted with a

18 amp fuse, either in the plug or adaptor or at the distribution board.

If you are in any doubt regarding the electrical supply to your machine, consult a qualified electrician before use.

How to connect an alternative plug:

- 2006/96/EC (Low Voltage)

- 2012/19/EU - WÉEE Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water and electri- city supplies

< Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle. This will limit wear on the hydraulic system in- side 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.

To help the wash cycle you may want to use either the detergent (i.e. a quantity 10% the quantity specified for lightly-soiled garments) or special addlitives to clean the washing machine. We recommend running a cleaning programme every 40 wash cycles.

To start the programme press buttons À and

B simultaneously for 5 seconds (see figure). The programme will start automatically and Will run for about 70 minutes. To stop the cycle press the START/ PAUSE button.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer

Remove the dispen- ser by raising it and pulling it out (see figure).

Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently.

Caring for the door and drum of your appliance

< Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.

The washing machine is fitted with a self-clea- ning pump which does not require any mainte- nance. Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into the pre-chamber which protects the pump, situated in its bottom part.

! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug the appliance.

To access the pre-chamber:

1. using a screwdri- ver, remove the cover panel on the lower front part of the wa- shing machine (see figure);

2. unscrew the lid by rotating it anti- clockwise (see figu- re): a little water may trickle out. This is perfectly normal;

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.

+ 2 If you select programme Ti and exclude the spin cycle, the machine will drain only.

The length of cycle shown on the display or in this booklet is an estimation only and is calculated assuming standard working conditions. The actual duration can vary accor- ding to factors such as water temperature and pressure, the amount of detergent used, the amount and type of load inserted, load balancing and any wash options selectecl.

1) Test wash cycle in compliance with regulation 1061/2010: set wash cycle 4 with a temperature of 60°C. This cycle is designed for cotton loads with a normal soil level and is the most efficient in terms of bath electrcify and water consumption; it should be used for garments which can be washed at 60°C . The actual washing temperature may dilfer from the indicated value.

2) Test wash cycle in compliance with regulation 1061/2010: set wash cycle 4 with a temperature of 40°C. This cycle is designed for cotton loads with a normal soil level and is the most eficient in terms of both electrcity and water consumption; it should be used for garments which can be washéd at 40°C . The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated value.

For all Test Institutes: 2) Long wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle 4 with a temperature of 40°C. 3) Long wash cycle for synthetics: set wash cycle 5 with a temperature of 40°C.

Anti Stain: the programme 1 is suitable to heavily-soiled garments with resistant colours. It ensures a washing class that is higher than the standard class (A class). When running the programme, do not mix garments of different colours. We recom- mend the use of powder detergent. Pre-treatment with special additives is recommended if there are obstinate stains. Whites: use this cycle 2 to wash white clothes. The programme is designed to maintain the brightness of white clothes over time. Use powder detergent for best results.

Anti allergy: use programme 6 to remove major allergens such as pollen, mites, cat's and dog's hair.

Baby: use the special wash cycle 7 to remove the remove the soiling typically caused by babies, while removing all traces of detergent from nappies in order to prevent the delicate skin of babies from suffering allergic reactions. The cycle has been designed to reduce the amount of bacteria by using a greater quantity of water and optimising the effect of special disinfec- ting additives added to the detergent.

The Eco Cycles assure energy saving by eliminating the need of heating water and it's an advantage both to your energy bill and the environment! These innovative Eco programmes (12 Eco Cottons, 13 Eco Synthetics and 14 Eco Fast 30”) are available for various fabrics and different quantity of garment; they have been designed to guarantee a high cleaning action even at low temperature and can be used for lightly to medium soiled loads. Eco Cycles give the best results thanks to an intensified wash action, water optimization and are carried out in the same average time of a standard cycle. For the best washing results with Eco Cycles we recommend the usage of a liquid detergent.

Cotton 20°: the programme 11 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.

Personnalisation Ô ARISTON Setting the temperature Turn the TEMPERATURE knob to set the wash temperature (see Table of wash cycles).

The temperature may be lowered, or even set to a cold wash (5).

The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a temperature which is higher than the maximum value set for each wash cycle

! Exception: if the 3 programme is selected, the temperature can be increased up to a value of 90°C:

Setting the spin speed

Turn the SPIN SPEED knob to set the spin speed for the selected wash cycle. The maximum spin speeds available for each wash cycle are as follows: Wash cycles Maximum spin speed

Cottons 1000 rpm Synthetics 1000 rpm Wool 800 rpm

The spin speed may be lowered, or the spin cycle can be excluded altogether by selecting the symbol &. The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a spin speed which is higher than the maximum speed set for each wash cycle

The various wash functions available with this washing machine will help to achieve the desired results, every time To activate the functions:

1. Press the button corresponding to the desired function;

2. the function is enabled when the corresponding indicator light is illuminated.

- [fthe selected function is not compatible with the programmed wash cycle, the corresponding indicator light will flash and a sound alert (3 beeps); the function will not be activated.

- fa function which is incompatible with another function selected previously, only the most recent selection will remain active.

This option offers a high-performance wash due to the greater quantity of water used in the initial phase of the cycle, and due to the increased wash cycle duration, is particularly useful for the removal of stubborn stains. It can be used with or without bleach. If you desire bleaching, insert the extra tray compartment (4) into compartment 1. When pouring in the bleach, be careful not to exceed the “max” level marked on the central pivot (see figure pag. 12).

By selecting this function, the wash and spin cycles will be modified in order to reduce the formation of creases. At the end of the cycle the washing machine will perform slow rotations of the drum: the EASY IRON indicator light will flash and the END phase will remain lit in a fixed manner. To end the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button or the EASY IRON button.

\P/ Prewash If this function is selected, the pre-wash cycle will run; this is useful for removing stubborn stains. N.B.: Put the detergent in the relevant compartment.

This timer delays the start time of the wash cycle by up to 12 hours

Press the button repeatedly until the indicator light corresponding to the desired delay time switches on. The fifth time the button is pressed, the function will be disabled.

N.B. Once you have pressed the START/PAUSE button, the delay time may only be decreased if you wish to modify it

Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser drawer

Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessa- rily result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to environmental pollution.

! Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for pre-washing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C.

! Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging.

? Do not use hand washing detergents because these create too much foam.

Open the detergent di- spenser 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 com- partment 4 has been removed.

compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle (powder or liquid)

ff 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 should not overflow the grid.

extra compartment 4: Bleach

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 listed values, which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry: see “Table of wash cycles”.

How much does your laundry weigh?

1 pillow case 150-200 g 1 tablecloth 400-500 g

Garments requiring special care

Woo! - Woolmark Apparel Care - Green:

the wool wash cycle of this machine has been approved by The Woolmark Company for the washing of wool gar- ments labelled as “hand wash” provided that the products are washed according to the instructions on the garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this washing machine.

In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade mark is a Certification trade mark.

Delicates: use programme 9 to wash very delicate gar- ments having strasses or sequins.

We recommend turning the garments inside out before washing and placing small items into the special bag for washing delicates.

Use liquid detergent on delicate garments for best results. To wash silk garments and curtains select cycle 9 and then function A ; the machine will end the cycle while the laundry is soaking and the Æ=_ indicator light will flash. To drain the water so that the laundry may be removed, press the START/PAUSE button or the = button.

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
