The other end of the inlet hose which connects to

the machine can be turned in any direction. Simply

loosen the fitting, rotate the hose and retighten the

fitting, making sure there are no water leaks

The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too

short and you do not wish to move the tap, you will

have to purchase a new, longer hose specially

designed for this type of use.

Water drainage

The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three

ways:

Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plastic

hose guide supplied with the machine. In this

case, make sure the end cannot come unhooked

when the machine is emptying.

This could be done by tying it to the tap with a piece

of string or attaching it to the wall.

In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must be

above the trap so that the bend is at least 60 cm

above the ground.

Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less

than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm.

The end of the drain hose must always be

ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain pipe

must be larger than the outside diameter of the drain

hose.

P0022

P0021

The drain hose must not be kinked.

For a correct functioning of the machine the

drain hose must remain hooked on the proper

support piece situated on the top part of the

back side of the appliance.

Electrical connection

This machine is designed to operate on a 220-230

V, single-phase, 50 Hz supply.

Washing hints

Sorting the laundry

Follow the wash code symbols on each garment

label and the manufacturer’s washing instructions.

Sort the laundry as follows:

whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.

Temperatures

95°

for normally soiled white cottons and linen

(e.g. tea cloths, towels, tablecloths,

sheets...)

60° for normally soiled, colour fast garments

(e.g. shirts, night dresses, pyjamas....) in

linen, cotton or synthetic fibres and for

lightly soiled white cotton (e.g.

underwear).

(cold)for delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed

30°-40° laundry including synthetic fibres and

woollens.

Before loading the laundry

Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites

may lose their “whiteness” in the wash.

New coloured items may run in the first wash; they

should therefore be washed separately the first time.

Make sure that no metal objects are left in the

laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).

Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks

and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.

Remove persistent stains before washing. Rub

particularly soiled areas with a special detergent or

detergent paste.

Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or

tie them up in a bag or net.

Maximum loads

Recommended loads are indicated in the

programme charts.

General rules:

Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed;

Synthetics: drum no more than half full;

Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more than

one third full.

Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient

use of water and energy.

For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.

Laundry weights

The following weights are indicative:

bathrobe 1200 g

napkin 100 g

quilt cover 700 g

sheet 500 g

pillow case 200 g

tablecloth 250 g

towelling towel 200 g

tea cloth 100 g

night dress 200 g

ladies’ briefs 100 g

man’s work shirt 600 g

man’s shirt 200 g

man’s pyjamas 500 g

blouse 100 g

men’s underpants 100 g

Removing stains

Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water

and detergent. It is therefore advisable to treat them

prior to washing.

Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried

stains, soak overnight in water with a special

detergent then rub in the soap and water.

Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain

remover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the

stain; treat several times.

Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay

the garment on a soft surface and dab the stain with

the fingertips and a cotton cloth.

Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust

removing product used cold. Be careful with rust

stains which are not recent since the cellulose

structure will already have been damaged and the

fabric tends to hole.

Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whites

and fast coloureds only).

Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and

fast coloureds only).

Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone (*),

lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.

Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat

stains with methylated spirits. Remove any residual

marks from white fabrics with bleach.

132990461 gb.qxd 17-2-2006 7:54 Pagina 10

Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and

treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse. Treat any

residual marks with bleach.

Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric

first with acetone (*), then with acetic acid; treat any

residual marks on white fabrics with bleach and then

rinse thoroughly.

Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated

spirits or benzine, then rub with detergent paste.

(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk.

Detergents and additives

Good washing results also depend on the choice of

detergent and use of the correct quantities to avoid

waste and protect the environment. Although

biodegradable, detergents contain substances

which, in large quantities, can upset the delicate

balance of nature.

The choice of detergent will depend on the type of

fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the colour,

washing temperature and degree of soiling.

All commonly available washing machine detergents

may be used in this appliance:

– powder detergents for all types of fabric,

– powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C max)

and woollens,

– liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature

wash programmes (60°C max) for all types of

fabric, or special for woollens only.

The detergent and any additives must be placed in

the appropriate compartments of the dispenser

drawer before starting the wash programme.

If using concentrated powder or liquid detergents, a

programme without prewash must be selected.

The washing machine incorporates a recirculation

system which allows an optimal use of the

concentrated detergent.

Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer

compartment marked just before starting the

programme.

Any fabric softener or starching additives must be

poured into the compartment marked before

starting the wash programme.

Follow the product manufacturer’s

recommendations on quantities to use and do not

exceed the «MAX» mark in the detergent

dispenser drawer.

Quantity of detergent to be used

The type and quantity of detergent will depend on

the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and

hardness of the water used.

Water hardness is classified in so-called “degrees”

of hardness. Information on hardness of the water in

your area can be obtained from the relevant water

supply company, or from your local authority.

Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on

quantities to use.

Use less detergent if:

– you are washing a small load,

– the laundry is lightly soiled,

– large amounts of foam form during washing.

out the amount of detergent recommended by the

manufacturer in a graduated cup and pour it into the

main wash compartment .

If you wish to carry out the prewash, pour detergent

or the stain remover into the appropriate

compartment marked .

3. Measure out the additive

If required, pour fabric softener into the

compartment marked , without exceeding the

«MAX» mark.

7. How to change a programme during

its cycle

Before you make any change, you must pause the

washing machine by pressing the START/PAUSE

button.

It is possible to change any phase before the

programme carries it out.

When the programme has started, you can only

reset it by turning the programme selector dial to O

and then you can select the new programme. The

washing water remains in the tub. Start the new

programme by depressing the START/PAUSE

button.

Note: To drain the water before starting the new

cycle, you have to cancel the programme and select

the DRAIN cycle.

8. Cancelling a programme

Turn the selector dial to O to cancel a programme

which is running. Now you can select a new

programme.

9. Opening the door after the

programme has started

First set the machine to PAUSE by pressing the

START/PAUSE button .

If the door does not open, this means that the

machine is already heating, that the water level is

above the bottom edge of the door or that the drum

is turning.

If you cannot open the door but you need to open it

you have to switch the machine off by turning the

selector dial to “O”. After about 3 minutes the door

can be opened (pay attention to the water level and

temperature!).

10. At the end of the programme

The machine stops automatically.

The START-PAUSE pilot light goes out and the

END pilot light comes on. The door can be

opened.

If the Rinse Hold option has been selected, the

END pilot light remains lit and the door is locked

to indicate that the water must be emptied out

before opening the door.

To do this turn the programme selector dial to “O”

and then to programme (drain) or (short spin).

The spin programme is performed at the maximum

speed.

Switch the machine off by turning the programme

selector dial to “O”.

Remove the laundry from the drum and carefully

check that the drum is empty so as to avoid any

forgotten items being damaged in a subsequent

wash (e.g. shrinking) or their colour running into a

load of whites.

If you do not intend to carry out another wash, close

the water tap.

Leave the door open to prevent the formation of

mildew and unpleasant smells.

Bodywork

Clean the outside of the machine with soap and

water only. Rinse with clean water and dry with a

soft cloth.

Important: do not use methylated spirits, solvents

or similar products to clean the bodywork.

Door seal

Check from time to time the door seal and eliminate

eventual possible objects that could be trapped in

the fold.

Detergent dispenser drawer

After a while, detergents and fabric softeners leave

deposits in the drawer.

Clean the drawer from time to time by rinsing it

under a running tap. To remove the drawer from the

machine, press the button in the rear left-hand

corner.

To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the additive

compartments can be removed.

Detergent can also accumulate inside the drawer

recess: clean it with an old toothbrush. Refit the

drawer after cleaning.

Drain pump

The pump should be inspected if

• the machine does not empty and/or spin

• the machine makes an unusual noise during

draining due to objects such as safety pins, coins

etc. blocking the pump.

Proceed as follows:

• Disconnect the appliance.

• If necessary wait until the water has cooled down.

• Open the pump door.

• Place a container close to the pump to collect any

spillage.

• Release the emergency emptying hose, place it in

the container and remove its cap.

• When no more water comes out, unscrew the

pump cover and remove the pump. Always keep a

rag nearby to dry up spillage of water when

removing the pump.

• Remove any objects from the pump impeller by

rotating it.

• Put the cap back on the emergency emptying

hose and place the latter back in its seat.

• Screw the pump cover fully in.

• Close the pump door.

Water inlet filter

If you notice that the machine is taking longer to fill,

check that the filter in the water inlet hose is not

blocked.

Turn off the water tap.

Unscrew the hose from the tap.

Clean the filter with a stiff brush.

Screw the hose back onto the tap.

P1090

Emergency emptying out

If the water is not discharged, proceed as follows to

empty out the machine:

• pull out the plug from the power socket;

• close the water tap;

• if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;

• open the pump door;

• place a bowl on the floor and place the end of the

emergency emptying hose into the bowl. Remove

its cap. The water should drain by gravity into the

bowl. Whe the bowl is full, put the cap back on the

hose. Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until

water stops flowing out;

• clean the pump if necessary as previously

described;

• replace the emergency emptying hose in its seat

after having plugged it;

• screw the pump cover again and close the door.

Frost precautions

If the machine is installed in a place where the

temperature could drop below 0°C, proceed as

follows:

• Remove the plug from the socket.

• Close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet

hose from the tap.

• Place the end of the emergency emptying hose

and that of the inlet hose in a bowl placed on the

floor and let water drain out.

• Screw the water inlet hose back on and reposition

the emergency emptying hose after having put the

cap on again.

By doing this, any water remaining in the machine is

removed, avoiding the formation of ice and,

consequently, breakage of the affected parts.

When you use the machine again, make sure that

the ambient temperature is above 0°C.

Important!

Every time you drain the water through the

emergency emptying hose you must pour 2 litres of

water into the main wash compartment of the

detergent drawer and then run the drain

programme. This will activate the ECO VALVE

device avoiding that part of the detergent remains

unused at next washing.

Problems which you can resolve yourself, before calling the After Sales Service.

During machine operation it is possible that the end light starts to flash:

4 flashes= the door has not been closed

2 flashes= the machine does not empty

1 flash= the machine does not fill.

Once the problem has been eliminated, press the START/PAUSE button to restart the programme. If after

all checks, the problem persists, contact your local Service Centre.

Problem Possible cause

• The machine does not start up:

• The door is not firmly closed.

• The machine is not plugged in or there is no power

at the socket.

• The main fuse has blown.

• The programme selector dial is not positioned correctly.

• The START/PAUSE button has not been depressed.

• The machine does not fill:

• The water tap is closed.

• The inlet hose is squashed or kinked.

• The filter in the inlet hose is blocked.

• The door is not properly closed.

• The machine fills then empties

immediately:

• The end of the drain hose is too low. Refer to

relevant paragraph in “water drainage” section.

• The machine does not empty

and/or does not spin:

• The drain hose is squashed or kinked.

• The option has been selected.

• The drain pump is clogged.

• There is water on the floor:

• Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent

(creates too much foam) has been used.

• Check whether there are any leaks from one of the

inlet hose fittings. It is not always easy to see this

as the water runs down the hose; check to see if it

is damp.

• The drain hose is damaged.

• The cap on the emergency emptying hose has not

been replaced after cleaning the pump.

• Unsatisfactory washing results:

• Too little or too much detergent has been used.

• An unsuitable detergent has been used.

• Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to

washing.

• The correct programme or temperature was not

selected.

• Excessive laundry load.

• The machine vibrates or is noisy:

• The transit bolts and packing have not been removed.

• The support feet have not been adjusted.

• The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.

• Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.

If you are unable to identify or solve the problem,

contact our service centre. Before telephoning,

make a note of the model, serial number and

purchase date of your machine: the Service Centre

will require this information.

Problem

Possible cause

•Water is not visible in the

machine:

• The machine, which is the result of modern

technology, runs in a very economical way with

low water consumption. Performance is

nevertheless excellent.

• Spinning starts late or the

machine does not spin:

• The electronic unbalance detection device has cut

in because the laundry is not evenly distributed in

the drum. The laundry is redistributed by reverse

rotation of the drum. This may happen several

times before the unbalance disappears and normal

spinning can resume. If, after 10 minutes, the

laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum,

the machine will not spin. In this case, redistribute

the load manually and select the spin programme.

• The machine makes an unusual

noise

• The machine is fitted with a type of motor which

makes an unusual noise compared with other

traditional motors. This new motor ensures a softer

start and more even distribution of the laundry in

the drum when spinning, as well as increased

stability of the machine.

• Detergent residue is left after the

wash cycle

• This is most probably due to non soluble

components contained in modern detergents. It is

not a sign of inadequate rinsing. Brush or shake

the garments and, if necessary, wash them again.

• Foam remains after the last rinse

•Modern detergents can produce foam even after

rinsing, but this will not affect the quality of the

wash.

• The door will not open:

• The programme is still running, the drum is turning.

• The door lock has not been released.

• The water level is above the bottom edge of the

door.

• The machine is heating the water.
