Installation Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future reference. Should the appliance be sold, transferred or moved, make sure the instruction manual accompanies the washing machine to inform the new owner as to its operation and features. Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital information on installation, use and safety. Unpacking and levelling Unpacking

washing machine has been damaged during transport. If this is the case, do not install it and contact your retailer.

protective screws and the rubber washer with the respective spacer, situated on the rear of the appliance (see figure).

4. Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided.

5. Keep all the parts: you will need them again if

the washing machine needs to be moved to another location.

Warning: should the screws be re-used, make sure

you fasten the shorter ones at the top. Packaging materials are not children's toys. Levelling Your machine may make a considerable amount of noise if the two front feet have not been adjusted correctly.

1. Install the washing

machine on a flat sturdy floor, without resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or other.

2. If the floor is not

perfectly level, com- pensate for any unevenness by tightening or loosening the adjustable front feet (see figure); the angle of inclination, measured according to the worktop, must not exceed 2°. Levelling your appliance correctly will provide it with stability and avoid any vibrations, noise and shifting during operation. If it is placed on a fitted or loose carpet, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow enough room for ventilation beneath the washing machine. Putting your appliance in place and moving it. If your washing machine is equipped with a special set of retractable wheels you can easy move it. To lower the wheels and thus move the appliance effortlessly, just pull the lever, situated on the left- hand side beneath the base. Once the appliance is in the required position, put the lever back in place. The washing machine is now firmly in place (see figure). Electric and water connections Connecting the water inlet hose

1. Connect the supply

pipe by screwing it to a cold water tab using a ¾ gas threaded connection (see figure). Before performing the connection, allow the water to run freely until it is perfectly clear.

2. Connect the other

end of the water inlet hose to the washing machine, screwing it onto the appliance's cold water inlet, situated on the top right-hand side on the rear of the appliance (see figure).

3. Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the hose.

The water pressure at the tap must be within the values indicated in the Technical details table (on the next page). If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised serviceman.GB

detergent into the relevant compartments as described in "Detergents and laundry".

5. SELECT THE WASH CYCLE. Press one of the

WASH CYCLE SELECTOR buttons to select the required wash cycle; the name of the wash cycle will appear on the display. A temperature and spin speed is set for each wash cycle; these may be adjusted. The duration of the cycle will appear on the display.

6. CUSTOMISE THE WASH CYCLE. Use the

relevant buttons: Modifying the temperature and/or spin speed. The machine automatically selects the maximum temperature and spin speed set for the selected wash cycle; these values cannot therefore be increased. The temperature can be decreased by pressing the button, until the cold wash "OFF" setting is reached. The spin speed may be progressively reduced by pressing the button, until it is completely excluded (the "OFF" setting). If these buttons are pressed again, the maximum values are restored. Setting a delayed start. To set a delayed start for the selected programme, press the corresponding button repeatedly until the required delay period has been reached. When this option is enabled, the symbol lights up on the display. To remove the delayed start function press the button until the text "OFF" appears on the display. Modifying the cycle settings. Press the button to enable the function; the indicator light corresponding to the button will switch on. Press the button again to disable the function; the indicator light will switch off. If the selected function is not compatible with the programmed wash cycle, the indicator light will flash and the function will not be activated. If the selected function is not compatible with another function which has been selected previously, the indicator light corresponding to the first function selected will flash and only the second function will be activated; the indicator light corresponding to the enabled function will remain lit. The functions may affect the recommended load value and/or the duration of the cycle.

7. START THE PROGRAMME. Press the START/

PAUSE button. The corresponding indicator light will become green, remaining lit in a fixed manner, and the door will be locked (the DOOR LOCKED symbol will be on). During the wash cycle, the name of the phase in progress will appear on the display. To change a wash cycle while it is in progress, pause the washing machine using the START/PAUSE button (the START/PAUSE indicator light will flash slowly in an orange colour); then select the desired cycle and press the START/ PAUSE button again. To open the door while a cycle is in progress, press the START/PAUSE button; if the DOOR LOCKED symbol is switched off the door may be opened. Press the START/PAUSE button again to restart the wash cycle from the point at which it was interrupted.

8. THE END OF THE WASH CYCLE. This will be

indicated by the text "END OF CYCLE" on the display; when the DOOR LOCKED symbol switches off the door may be opened. Open the door, unload the laundry and switch off the machine. If you wish to cancel a cycle which has already begun, press and hold the button. The cycle will be stopped and the machine will switch off. 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 at- tempts, 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 distri- bution process instead of spinning. To encourage im- proved load distribution and balance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed in the load.GB

1) Test wash cycle in compliance with according to 1061/2010: set wash cycle

(90°C) with a temperature of 60°C and 40°C (By pressing the TEMPERATURE button).

2) Long wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle

(90°C) with a temperature of 40°C (By pressing the TEMPERATURE button).

3) Short wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle

4) Long wash cycle for synthetics: set wash cycle

(60°C) (1st press of the button); with a temperature of 40°C (By pressing the TEMPERATURE button). 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 according 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 selected.20

Detergents and laundry Detergent dispenser drawer Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of detergent: adding too much detergent won't necessarily make for a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause build up on the interior of your appliance and even pollute the environment. Open up the detergent dispenser and pour in the detergent and fabric softener, as follows. compartment 1: Detergent for pre-wash compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle (powder or liquid) It is recommended that you place liquid detergent directly into the compartment using the appropriate dosing cup. compartment 3: Additives (softener, etc.) When pouring the softener in compartment 3, avoid exceeding the "max" level indicated. The softener is added automatically into the machine during the last wash. At the end of the wash programme, some water will be left in compartment

3. This is used for the inlet of denser fabric softeners

into the machine, i.e. to dilute the more concentrated softeners. Should more than a normal amount of water remain in compartment 3, this means the emptying device is blocked. For cleaning instructions, see Care and maintenance. 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: Durable fabrics: max. 6 kg Synthetic fabrics: max. 2,5 kg Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg Wool: max. 1 kg Silk: max. 1 kg How much does your laundry weigh? 1 sheet 400-500 g 1 pillow case 150-200 g 1 tablecloth 400-500 g 1 bathrobe 900-1200 g 1 towel 150-250 g Special wash cycles Mix 30: this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 30 minutes and therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting this wash cycle ( at 30°C), it is possible to wash different fabrics together (except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 3 kg. Mix 15: this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 15 minutes and therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting this wash cycle ( at 30°C), it is possible to wash different fabrics together (except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 1.5 kg. Baby cycle: this wash cycle can be used to remove the soiling typically caused by babies, while ensuring that all detergent is removed from nappies in order to prevent the delicate skin of babies from suffering allergies. The cycle has been designed to reduce the amount of bacteria by using a greater quantity of water and optimising the effect of special disinfecting additives added to the detergent. Silk: use special wash cycle to wash all silk garments. We recommend the use of special detergent which has been designed to wash delicate clothes. Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle

Wool: is the only washing machine manufacturer to have been awarded the prestigious Woolmark Platinum Care endorsement (M.0508) by the Woolmark Company, which means that all woollen garments may be washed in the washing machine, even those which state hand wash only on the label. Wash cycle therefore offers complete peace of mind when washing woollen garments in the washing machine (max. load 1 kg) and guarantees optimal performance.GB

Precautions and tips This washing machine was designed and constructed in accordance with international safety regulations. The following information is provided for safety reasons and must therefore be read carefully. General safety This appliance was designed for domestic use only. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. The washing machine must only be used by adults, in accordance with the instructions provided in this manual. Do not touch the machine when barefoot or with wet or damp hands or feet. Do not pull on the power supply cable when unplugging the appliance from the electricity socket. Hold the plug and pull. Do not touch the drained water as it may reach extremely high temperatures. Never force the porthole door. This could damage the safety lock mechanism designed to prevent accidental opening. If the appliance breaks down, do not under any circumstances access the internal mechanisms in an attempt to repair it yourself. Always keep children well away from the appliance while it is operating. If the appliance has to be moved, work in a group of two or three people and handle it with the utmost care. Never try to do this alone, because the appliance is very heavy. Before loading laundry into the washing machine, make sure the drum is empty. Disposal Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local regulations so that the packaging may be re-used. The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment. The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected. Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance. Saving energy and respecting the environment Saving on detergent, water, energy and time To avoid wasting resources, the washing machine should be used with a full load. A full load instead of two half loads allows you to save up to 50% on energy. The pre-wash cycle is only necessary on extremely soiled garments. Avoiding it will save on detergent, time, water and between 5 and 15% energy. Treating stains with a stain remover or leaving them to soak before washing will cut down the need to wash them at high temperatures. A programme at 60°C instead of 90°C or one at 40°C instead of 60°C will save up to 50% on energy. Use the correct quantity of detergent depending on the water hardness, how soiled the garments are and the amount of laundry you have, to avoid wastage and to protect the environment: despite being biodegradable, detergents do contain ingredients that alter the natural balance of the environment. In addition, avoid using fabric softener as much as possible. If you use your washing machine from late in the afternoon until the early hours of the morning, you will help reduce the electricity board's peak load. The DELAYED START option helps to organise your wash cycles accordingly. If your laundry has to be dried in a tumble dryer, select a high spin speed. Having the least water possible in your laundry will save you time and energy in the drying process.22

Care and maintenance Cutting off the water or electricity supply Turn off the water tap after every wash. This will limit the wear of your appliance's water system and also prevent leaks. Unplug your appliance when cleaning it and during all maintenance operations. Cleaning your appliance The exterior and rubber parts of your appliance can be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives. Caring for your appliance door and drum Always leave the appliance door ajar to prevent unpleasant odours from forming. Cleaning the pump The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning pump that does not require any maintenance. Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into the pre-chamber that protects the pump, situated in the lower part of the same. Make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug the appliance. How to clean the detergent dispenser Cleaning: Then clean the dispenser under a tap (fig. 3) using an old toothbrush and, once the pair of siphons inserted in the top of compartments 1 and 2 (fig. 4) have been pulled out, check whether the same are not clogged and then rinse them. Reassembly: Do not forget to reinsert the pair of siphons into the spe- cial housings and then to replace the dispenser into its seat, clicking it into place (fig. 4, 2 and 1). Disassembly: Press lightly on the large button on the front of the detergent dispenser and pull it upwards (fig. 1, 2). To recover any objects that have fallen into the pre- chamber:

1. remove the plinth at

the bottom on the front side of the washing machine by pulling from the side with your hands (see figure);

rotating it anticlock- wise (see figure): a little water may trickle out. This is perfectly normal;

3. clean the interior

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 water inlet hose at least once a year. If you see any cracks, replace it immediately: during the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose could easily split open. Never use hoses that have already been used. Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3 Fig. 4GB

Troubleshooting Your washing machine could fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre (see Assistance), make sure that the problem cannot be not solved easily using the following list. Problem: The washing machine does not switch on. The wash cycle does not start. The washing machine does not take in water (the text "NO

WATER, CHECK SUPPLY"

appears on the display). The washing machine continuously takes in and drains water. The washing machine does not drain or spin. The washing machine vibrates a lot during the spin cycle. The washing machine leaks. The machine is locked and the display flashes, indicating an error code (e.g. F-01, F-..). There is too much foam. Possible causes / Solutions: The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or is not making contact. There is no power in the house. The appliance Lid is not shut properly. The ON/OFF button has not been pressed. The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed. The water tap has not been opened. A delayed start has been set (see Running a wash cycle). The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap. The hose is bent. The water tap has not been opened. There is no water supply in the house. The pressure is too low. The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed. The drain hose is not fitted at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor (see Installation). The free end of the hose is under water (see Installation). The wall drainage system is not fitted with a breather pipe. If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water tap, switch the appliance off and contact the Assistance Service. If the dwelling is on one of the upper floors of a building, there may be problems relating to water drainage, causing the washing machine to fill with water and drain continuously. Special anti-draining valves are available in shops and help to avoid this inconvenience. The wash cycle does not include draining: some wash cycles require the drain phase to be started manually (see Wash cycles and functions). The EASY IRON function has been activated: To complete the wash cycle, press the START/PAUSE button (see Wash cycles and functions). The drain hose is bent (see Installation). The drainage duct is clogged. The drum was not unlocked correctly during installation (see Installation). The washing machine is not level (see Installation). The washing machine is trapped between cabinets and walls (see Installation). The water inlet hose is not screwed on properly (see Installation). The detergent dispenser drawer is blocked (for cleaning instructions, see Care and maintenance). The drain hose is not fixed properly (see Installation). Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1 minute and then switch it back on again. If the problem persists, contact the Technical Assistance Service. The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should display the text for washing machines or hand and machine wash, or the like). Too much detergent was used.24

Service Before calling for Assistance: Check whether you can solve the problem alone (see Troubleshooting); Restart the programme to check whether the problem has been solved; If this is not the case, contact an authorised Technical Assistance Centre using the telephone number provided on the guarantee certificate. Always request the assistance of authorised technicians. Have the following information to hand: the type of problem; the appliance model (Mod.); the serial number (S/N). This information can be found on the data plate situated on the rear of the washing machine.FR
