Explanation of symbols
Throughout this User Manual the following symbols are used:
C Important information or useful hints about usage.
AWarning for hazardous situations with regard to life and property.
BWarning for supply voltage.
When your appliance is of no further
use, it should not be disposed of
together with general domestic waste.
It can be taken, free of charge, to a
specific waste collection centre, run
by your local authority, or dealers who
provide this service.
Disposing of waste domestic appliances
separately means avoiding possible
negative consequences for the
environment and health, derived from
incorrect disposal. This will enable the
materials in them to be treated and
recycled, obtaining important savings in
energy and resources.
To highlight the obligation of
collaborating with selective waste
collection, the product is marked
with a symbol to warn against using
traditional containers for disposing of the
appliance.
For further information, contact
your local authority or the shop
where you purchased the
product.

To avoid the risk of fire, electric
shocks, injury or damage when
using your washing machine, please
take the following precautions:
• This washing machine comes with
a manual that includes operating,
maintenance and installation
instructions. Please read all the
instructions before using the
washing machine.
• Do not wash items that have
previously been cleaned, washed,
soaked or treated with petrol,
solvents for dry cleaning, other
inflammable substances or
explosives, as they produce fumes
that could catch fire or explode.
• Do not add petrol, solvents for dry
cleaning or other inflammable or
explosive substances to the wash
water as they produce fumes that
could catch fire or explode.
• Do not repair or replace any part of
the washing machine or try to carry
out any type of servicing unless it is
recommended in the maintenance
instructions in the manual.
2 Warnings
• Do not climb onto the machine or
stand on the open hatch door.
• Do not use an extension lead or
adaptor to connect your washing
machine to the mains supply.
• The machine should only be used
for the purpose it is designed for.
• Follow the washing instructions
recommended by the manufacturer
of the garment to be washed.
• Do not turn your washing machine
on until you are sure that:
- It has been installed in accordance
with the installation instructions.
- All the water, drainage, mains
electricity and earth connections
meet the local regulations and/or
other applicable regulations.
Intended use
• 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.

Unpacking the washing
machine
• Remove the base, corner protectors
and top cover.
3 Installation and assembly
Unblocking the washing
machine
• Remove the screws holding the
plastic covers to the back of the
washing machine.
• Loosen and remove the 3 blocking
screws.
• Cover the holes with the plastic
covers you have just removed.
C
Do not throw the blocking screws
away. You may need to move the
washing machine at a later date.
Connection to the mains
water supply
The water supply hose is inside the
drum:
• Connect the bent end of the hose to
the threaded inlet of the electrovalve
located at the rear of the washing
machine.

EN
7
• Connect the other end of the hose
to the water intake. Then securely
tighten the connection nut.
• Make sure that the gasket is in
place.
C
It is important that the drain hose
bend is correctly fastened to the
outlet, to prevent any risk of it
becoming detached and causing
flooding.
C
If your washing machine has a hot
water intake, connect the hose with
the red threaded end to the hot
water tap, and to the electrovalve
with the red filter.
C
The washing machine must be
connected to the mains water
supply, using the new supply hoses
supplied with the appliance. Do not
use water supply hoses that have
been used before. For your washing
machine to work properly, the mains
water pressure must be between
0.05 and 1MPa (0.05 and 10 Kgr/
cm2).
Drainage connection
To make the washing machine ready
for use, make sure that tap water
supply and water drainage systems are
appropriate before calling the authorised
service agent. If they are not, call a
qualified plumber to have any necessary
arrangements carried out.
• It is recommended that you have a
fixed drainage outlet 50 to 70 cm
from the floor.
Avoid the drain hose being too tight,
kinked or restricted.
• The end of the drain hose
must be directly connected to
the wastewater drain or to the
washbasin.
• The end of the drain hose must
always be secured regardless of the
connection type.
AYour floor will be flooded if the hose
comes out of its housing during
water discharge.
• In case the hose is routed at floor
level or close to the floor (less than
50 cm) and then rises higher, water
discharge becomes more difficult
and laundry will come out wetter
than normal. Therefore, follow the
heights described in the figure.
• To prevent flow of dirty water back
to the washing machine and to allow
for easy discharge, the end of the
hose must not be inserted in to the
drain more than 15 cm. If it is too
long, cut it shorter.
• The end of the hose should not be
bent, it should not be stepped on
and the hose must not be pinched
between the drain and the machine.

EN
8
• If the length of the hose is too short,
add an original extension hose. The
maximum length of the hose must
not be longer than 3.2 m from the
machine outlet. To avoid water leak
failures, the connection between the
extension hose and the drain hose
of the product must be well fitted
with an appropriate clamp so that it
will not come off and leak. Electrical connection
Consult the specification plate located
on the hatch door of the washing
machine before making the electrical
connections. Ensure that the voltage
reaching the plug is the same as that on
the plate.
Do not remove the specification
plate. The information on it is
important.
Levelling
C
Use the adjustable feet to level the
washing machine. This will reduce
the noise level and prevent it from
moving during use.
C
Do not bring the feet too far out, you
will achieve better stability.
C
You need to use a spanner for the
models that have a nut.
C
It is very important to correctly earth
the washing machine. The electrical
installation, plug, socket, fuses
or automatic switch and counter
must be correctly specified for the
maximum power indicated on the
specifications plate.
C
Do not plug the washing machine
plug into the socket with wet or
damp hands.
C
To remove the power cord, pull on
the body of the plug.

EN
9
C
If the power cord is damaged, it
must be replaced by a cord or
special unit provided by either the
manufacturer or your after sales
service.
C
With built-in washing machines,
the plug must be accessible after
installation.
Pre-cleaning
When your washing machine has been
correctly installed, we recommend that
you pre-clean the machine.
This is to check that the installation,
the connections and the drainage are
all correct, and to thoroughly clean the
inside of the washing machine before
any wash programmes are run (see the
operating instructions on the following
pages).
• Select the normal programme at
60ºC.
• Press the Start/Stop button.

EN
10
Preparing garments for
washing
C
Before placing the clothes in the
drum, make sure all the pockets are
empty.
C
Any small objects may block the
drain pump.
4 Preparing to wash
Sorting the clothes
• Sort the clothes
according to fabric
and how they are
made:
We recommend using the delicate
programmes for sensitive fabrics.
There is a special wool programme
for woollens.
C
Make sure beforehand
that your woollens can be
machine- washed.
Before using the drying programme,
first check the label on the garment
to make sure it can be tumble dried.
• Sort clothes according to how
soiled they are.
Wash lightly soiled garments using a
short programme.
Use a programme without prewash
for medium-soiled garments.
Wash heavily soiled garments using
a long programme with prewash.
• Sort your clothes according to
colour.
Wash whites and coloured
separately.
C
We recommend loading the
washing machine to its full capacity.
This means savings on water and
energy.
C
Whenever possible, we recommend
that you wash garments of different
sizes within the same wash
programme. This improves the
washing action and also aids the
correct distribution of the garments
in the drum when spin-drying, and
the washing machine will therefore
be quieter.
C
It is a good idea to put small
garments in a wash bag.
