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 contain vital information relating to the safe installation 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. If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any further with the installation process.

1. Remove the 4 protective screws (used during transportation) and the rubber washer with the corresponding spacer, located on the rear part of the appliance (see figure).

2. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs provided.

3. Keep all the parts in a safe place: you will need them again if the washing machine needs to be moved to another location.

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

Levelling

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

1. If the floor is not perfectly level, compensate for any unevenness by tightening or loosening the adjustable front feet (see figure); the angle of inclination, measured 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 supply pipe by screwing it to a cold water tab using a 3 / 4 gas threaded connection (see figure).

Before performing the connection, allow the water to run freely until it is perfectly clear.

1. Connect the inlet hose to the washing machine by screwing it onto the corresponding water inlet of the appliance, which is situated on the top right-hand side of the rear part of the appliance (see figure).

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

The water pressure at the tap must fall within the values indicated in the Technical details 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.

Connecting the drain hose

Connect the drain hose, without bending it, to a drainage duct or a wall drain located at a height between 65 and 100cm from the floor;

alternatively, rest it on the side of a washbasin or bathtub, fastening the duct supplied 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 electricity socket, make sure that:

• the socket is earthed and complies with all applicable laws;
• the socket is able to withstand the maximum power load of the appliance as indicated in the Technical data table (see opposite);
• the power supply voltage falls within the values indicated in the Technical data table (see opposite);
• the socket is compatible with the plug of the washing machine. If this is not the case, replace the socket or the plug.

The washing machine must not be installed outdoors, even in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the appliance exposed to rain, storms and other weather conditions.

! When the washing machine has been installed, the electricity socket must be within easy reach.

! Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.
The cable should not be bent or compressed.
The power supply cable must only be replaced by authorised technicians.

Warning! The company shall not be held responsible in the event that these regulations are not respected.

This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 1, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 念

Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser drawer

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

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

Open the detergent dispenser 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 compartment 4 has

been removed.

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

Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately prior to the start of the wash cycle.

compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)

The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.

extra compartment 4: Bleach

Bleach cycle

! Traditional bleach should be used on sturdy white fabrics, and delicate bleach for coloured fabrics, synthetics and for wool.

This option is particularly useful for the removal of stubborn stains. Place extra compartment 4 (supplied) into compartment 1. When pouring in the bleach, be careful not to exceed the "max" level marked on the central pivot (see figure). To run the bleach cycle on its own, pour the bleach into extra compartment 4, set the "Rinse" programme and activate the "Stain removal" option. To bleach during a wash cycle, pour in the detergent and any fabric softener you wish to use, set the desired wash cycle and enable the "Stain removal" option. The use of extra compartment 4 excludes the "Pre-wash" option.

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. 8 kg

Synthetic fabrics: max. 3,5 kg

Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg

Wool: max. 2 kg

Silk: max. 2 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

Garments requiring special care

Jeans: turn the garments inside out before washing and use liquid detergent. Use wash cycle 6.

Shirts: use special wash cycle 7 to wash shirts in various fabrics and colours. It guarantees maximum care is taken of the garments and minimises the formation of creases.

Mix-Cool 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 wash cycle 8, it is possible to wash different fabrics (except for wool and silk items) using a cold cycle, up to a maximum load of 3kg .

Wool: wash cycle 9 can be used to wash all woollen garments in the machine, even those carrying the "hand wash only" label. To achieve the best results, use a special detergent and do not exceed the maximum load of 2kg .

Silk: use special wash cycle 10 to wash all silk garments. We recommend the use of special detergent which has been designed to wash delicate clothes.

Curtains: If we recommend you fold the curtains and place them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle 10.

Duvets: to wash double or single duvets (the weight of which should not exceed 3kg ), cushions or clothes padded with goose down such as puffa jackets, use the special wash cycle number 11 "Duvets". We recommend that duvets are placed in the drum with their edges folded inwards (see figure) and that no more than 3/4 of the total volume of the drum is used. To achieve the best results, we recommend that a liquid detergent is used and placed inside the detergent dispenser drawer.

Outwear (wash cycle 12): is studied for washing water-repellent fabrics and winter jackets (e.g. Gore-Tex, polyester, nylon); for best results, use a liquid detergent and dosage suitable for a half-load; pre-treat necks, cuffs and stains if necessary; do not use softeners or detergents containing softeners. Stuffed duvets cannot be washed with this programme.

Sport Shoes (wash cycle 13): is for washing sports shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs simultaneously.

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.
• 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 open the detergent dispenser drawer while the machine is in operation.
• 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.
• The door can become quite hot during the wash cycle.
• 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.

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.

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.

Opening the porthole door manually

In the event that it is not possible to open the porthole door due to a powercut, and if you wish to remove the laundry, proceed as follows:

1. remove the plug from the electrical socket.

2. make sure the water level inside the machine is lower than the door opening; if it is not, remove excess water using the drain hose, collecting it in a bucket as indicated in the figure.

3. remove the cover panel on the lower front part of the washing machine (see overleaf).

1. pull outwards using the tab as indicated in the figure, until the plastic tie-rod is freed from its stop position; pull downwards and open the door at the same time.
2. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely in place before you push it onto the appliance.

Care and maintenance

GB

Cutting off the water and electricity supplies

• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle. This will limit wear on the hydraulic system inside 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.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser. drawer

To remove the drawer, press lever (1) and pull the drawer outwards (2) (see figure).

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

Cleaning the pump

The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning pump which does not require any maintenance. 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. take off the cover panel on the front of the machine by first pressing it in the centre and then pushing downwards on both sides until you can remove it (see figures);

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

2. clean the inside thoroughly;

3. screw the lid back on;
4. 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.

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.
