PROGRAMMES

For choosing the appropriate programme for your kind of laundry, always respect the instructions on the care labels of the laundry. The value given in the tub symbol is the maximum temperature possible for washing the garment.

Mixed

For washing lightly to normally soiled resilient garments in cotton, linen, synthetic fibres and mixed fibres.

White

For washing normally to heavily soiled towels, underwear, table and bed linen, etc in resilient cotton and linen. Only when the temperature is selected at 90^ C the cycle is provided with a prewash phase before main washing phase. In this case it is recommended to add detergent both, in the prewash and main wash section.

Cotton

Normally to heavily soiled and robust cottons.

Eco Cotton

For washing normally soiled cotton garments. At 40^ C and 60^ C, this is the standard cotton programme and the most efficient in terms of water and energy consumption.

Sport

For washing lightly soiled sports clothing (tracksuits, shorts, etc.). For best results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the "PROGRAMME CHART". We recommend using liquid detergent, and adding the amount suitable for half-load.

Duvet

Designed for washing eiderdown padded items such as double or single duvets, cushions and anoraks. It is recommended to load such padded items in the drum with the edges folded inwards and not to exceed 34 of the drum's volume. For optimal washing, we recommend using a liquid detergent.

Jeans

Turn garments inside-out before washing and use a liquid detergent.

Spin & Drain

Spins the load then empties the water. For resilient garments. If you exclude the spin cycle, the machine will drain only

Rinse & Spin

Rinses and then spins. For resilient garments.

Rapid 30'

For washing lightly soiled garments quickly. This cycle lasts only 30 minutes, saving time and energy.

Colours 15°

This cycle helps protect colours by washing in cold water (15°C) and uses less energy to heat the water while still offering satisfactory wash results. Suitable for lightly soiled, unstained garments. This cycle offers wash results comparable to 40°C mixed at just 15°C

Wool

All wool garments can be washed using programme, "Wool" even those carrying the "hand-wash only" label. For best results, use special detergents and do not exceed max kg declaration of laundry.

Delicates

For washing particularly delicate garments. Preferably turn garments inside out before washing.

Synthetics

For washing soiled garments made from synthetic fibres (such as polyester, polyacrylic, viscose, etc.) or cotton/synthetic blends.

FIRST TIME USE

TRANSPORT AND HANDLING

Never lift the washing machine by holding it at the worktop.

Pull out the mains plug, and close the water tap. Make sure that door and detergent dispenser are properly closed. Disconnect the inlet hose from the water tap, and remove the drain hose from your draining point. Remove all rest water from the hoses, and fix them so that they cannot get damaged during transport. Refit the transport bolts. Follow the instructions for removing the transport bolts in the INSTALLATION GUIDE in reverse order.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The washing machine may sometimes not work properly for certain reasons. Before calling the After-sales service, it is recommended to check to see if the problem can be easily resolved using the following list.

Anomalies: Possible causes / Solution:
The washing machine does not turn on.	· The plug is not inserted into the electrical outlet, or not enough to make contact.· There has been a power failure.
The wash cycle does not start.	· The door is not fully closed.· The "ON/OFF" button has not been pressed.· The "Start/Pause" button has not been pressed.· The water tap is not open.· A "Start delay" has been set.
The washing machine does not fill with water (the message "h2o" is shown on the display). "Beep" sound every 5 seconds.	· The water intake hose is not connected to the tap.· The hose is bent.· The water tap is not open.· The mains water supply has been shut off.· There is not enough pressure.· The "Start/Pause" button has not been pressed.
The washing machine loads and drains water continuously.	· The drain hose has not been installed at 65 to 100 cm from the ground.· The end of the drain hose is immersed in water.· The drain connector on the wall does not have an air vent.· If the problem persists after having performed these checks, close the water tap, shut off the washing machine, and call the After-sales service. If the dwelling is located on one of the uppermost floors of a building, a siphon effect can sometimes occur, thus causing the washing machine to load and drain water continuously. Special anti-siphon valves are available on the market to prevent these types of problems.
The washing machine does not drain or does not spin.	· The programme does not include the draining function: with certain programmes it must be activated manually.· The drain hose is bent.· The drain line is obstructed.
The washing machine vibrates excessively during the spin cycle.	· At the time of installation, the drum was not properly unblocked.· The washing machine is not level.· The washing machine is squeezed between furniture and the wall.
The washing machine leaks water.	· The water intake hose has not been tightened properly.· The detergent dispenser is clogged.· The drain hose has not been properly fastened.
The machine is locked and the display flashes, indicating an error code (e.g. F-01, F-..).	· Shut off the machine, disconnect the plug from the outlet, and wait about 1 minute before turning it back on.· If the problem persists, call the After-sales service.
Too much foam is formed.	· The detergent is not compatible with the washing machine (it must bear the wording "for washing machines", "for hand washing and washing machines", or something similar).· The dosage was excessive.
Door is locked, with or without failure indication, and the programme does not run.	· Door is locked in case of power breakdown. Programme will continue automatically as soon as the mains is available again.· Washing machine is in a standstill. Programme will continue automatically after the origin of the standstill does not persist anymore.

For any cleaning and maintenance, switch off and unplug the washing machine. Do not use flammable fluids to clean the washing machine.

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE WASHING MACHINE

Use a soft damp cloth to clean the outer parts of the washing machine.

Do not use glass or general purpose cleaners, scouring powder or similar to clean the control panel – these substances might damage the printing.

CHECKING THE WATER SUPPLY HOSE

Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and cracks. If damaged, replace it by a new hose available through our After-Sales Service or your specialist dealer. Depending on the hose type:

If the inlet hose has a transparent coating, periodically check if the colour intensifies locally. If yes, the hose may have a leak and should be replaced.

For water stop hoses: check the small safety valve inspection window (see arrow). If it is red, the water stop function was triggered, and the hose must be replaced by a new one. For unscrewing this hose, press the release button (if available) while unscrewing the hose.

CLEANING THE MESH FILTERS IN THE WATER SUPPLY HOSE

1. Close water tap and unscrew the inlet hose.

- Fit the magnet plate at the top of the opposite side, using type B screws to fix two spacers (fig. 4/B) between the plate and the surface.

Using the Drilling Template.

• To trace the positions of the holes on the left-hand side of the panel, align the drilling template to the top left side of the panel using the lines traced on the extremities as a reference.
• To trace the positions of the holes on the right-hand side of the panel, align the drilling template to the top right side of the panel.
• Use an appropriately sized router to mill the holes for the two hinges, the rubber plug and the magnet.

Mounding the Parts onto the Wooden Panel (Door).

• Insert the hinges into the holes (the movable part of the hinge must be positioned facing away from the panel) and fasten them with the 4 type A screws.
• Insert the magnet into the top hole on the opposite side of the hinges and fasten it with the two type B screws.
• Insert the rubber plug into the bottom hole. The panel is now ready to be mounted onto the machine.

Mounting the Panel into the machine.

Insert the nib of the hinge (indicated by the arrow in fig. 2) into the hole for the hinge and push the panel towards the front of the machine. Fasten the two hinges with the type D screws.

Fastening the plinth guide.

If the machine is installed at the end of a set of modular cabinets, mount either one or both of the guides for the base molding (as shown in fig. 8).
Adjust them for depth based on the position of the base molding, and, if necessary, fasten the base to the guides (fig. 9).
This is how to assemble the plinth guide (fig. 8): Fasten angle P using screw R, insert plinth guide Q into the special slot and once it is in the desired position, lock it in place using angle P and screw R.

Inserting the machine into the Cabinet.

• Push the machine into the opening, aligning it with the cabinets (fig. 6).
• Regulate the adjustable feet to raise the machine to the appropriate height.
• To adjust the position of the wooden panel in both the vertical and horizontal directions, use the C and D screws, as shown in fig. 7.
  Important: close the lower part of the appliance front by ensuring that the plinth rests against the floor.

Adjusting the appliance height.

The height of the appliance can be adjusted (from 815 mm to 835 mm), by turning the 4 feet.
Should you require the appliance to be placed higher than the above height, you need to use the following accessories to raise it to up to 870 mm: the two crossbars (G); the 4 feet (H); the 4 screws (I); the 4 nuts (L) then perform the following operations (fig. 11):
remove the 4 original feet, place a crossbar G at the front of the appliance, fastening it in place using screws I (screwing them in where the original feet were) then insert the new feet H.
Repeat the same operation at the back of the appliance.
Now adjust feet H to raise or lower the appliance from 835 mm to 870 mm.
Once you have reached the desired height, lock nuts L onto crossbar G.
To adjust the appliance to a height between 870 mm and 900 mm, you need to mount strip M, adjusting feet H to the required height.
Insert the strip as follows:
loosen the three screws N situated at the front of the Top cover of the appliance, insert strip M as shown in fig. 12, then fasten screws N.
