fault.
A
If this occurs, close the water tap and contact
the authorized service centre to replace the
hose.
5.6 Water drainage
The drain hose should be positioned at a

min.600 mm
max.1000 mm
• Connect the drain hose to the spigot and
tighten it with a clamp.
• Position the hose directly to a built-in drain
pipe in the room wall and tighten it with a
clamp.
• Without the plastic hose guide, to a sink
spigot - put the drain hose in the spigot
and tighten it with a clamp.
• To a stand pipe with vent hole - insert the
drain hose directly into a drain pipe or
stand pipe.
• The drain hose can be bent into U shape
and put around the plastic guide. On the
edge of a sink - fasten the guide to the
water tap or to the wall.
Make sure that the drain hose makes a
loop to prevent particles going into the
appliance from the sink.
Make sure that the plastic guide cannot
move when the appliance drains and the
drain hose end is not immersed in the
water. There may be a return of dirty
water into the appliance. Buy accessories
from authorised supplier.
The end of the drain hose must always
be ventilated , i.e. the inner diameter of
the drain pipe (min. 38 mm - min. 1.5")
must be larger than the external diameter
of the drain hose.

At the end of installation you can connect the
mains plug to the mains socket.
The rating plate and the 'Technical Data'
chapter indicate the necessary electrical
ratings. Make sure that they are compatible

in Daily Use chapter.
7.2 Programme dial
By rotating the programme dial it is possible
to select the desired programme.
ENGLISH 15

7.3 Introduction
The options/functions are not selectable
with all washing programmes. Check the
compatibility between options/functions
and washing programmes in the
"Programme Chart". An option/function
can exclude another one, in this case the
appliance doesn't allow you to set the
incompatible options/functions together.
Make sure the screen and touch buttons
are always clean and dry.
7.4 Finish In
Set this option as last after programme
and other options selection, otherwise it
can be cancelled if you change some
setting.
This option allows choosing the time within
which a programme should terminate. The
programme end can be postponed by one 1
hour every button touch until 24 hours
maximum.
The display shows the normal programme
duration alternatively with the set programme
end time (expressed in hours 0h). The
minimum selectable time corresponds to
rounded up hour of the maximum duration of
a programme (e.g. if the cycle duration lasts
3:15 hours, the minimum selectable time will
be 4h).
After programme start, the door is locked and
the appliance starts the ProSense phase.
When load estimation ends, on the display
the icon of running phase blinks and the time
digit counts down in steps of one hour and in
steps of 1 minute during the last hour.

until it is deactivated and if it is selectable
with the set programme.
7.7 Plus Steam
This option adds a steam phase followed by a
short anti-crease phase at the end of the
washing programme.
The steam phase reduces fabric creasing and
facilitates the fabric ironing.
The Plus Steam option achieves good results
with a small load because steam better
penetrates the laundry if there is more space.
For this reason, the programme maximum
load combined with this option is 2 kg
(approximately 8 - 10 shirts).
When setting the Plus Steam option, the
maximum load drops to 2 kg in the display
and programme time is adjusted accordingly.
The indicator blinks in the display during
steam phase.
This option can affect the programme
duration.
When the programme stops the display
shows a zero , the indicator is steady
on.
The anti-crease phase starts, the indicator
is blinking, and the Start/Pause led
remains lit. The drum performs smooth
movements for about 30 minutes to keep the
