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.

EN
6
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.

EN
11
Detergent and additives
• Your washing machine’s detergent
dispenser has three compartments.
• Put the detergent or additive into the
detergent dispenser before starting
the wash programme.
• Liquid detergents may also be used
in this washing machine.
Place this optional dispenser inside
the wash compartment.
C
The level of liquid must never be
higher than the MAX mark printed
on the dispenser wall.
Remember that the amount of detergent
to be used will always depend on:
• The amount of clothes to be
washed.
• How heavily the clothes are soiled.
• The hardness of the water
(Information on water hardness in
your area can be obtained from the
competent local authorities).
C
We recommend the use of a
decalcifying product if the water
hardness is high in your area.
eco-note
Remember that concentrated
detergents exist which are more
environment and nature-friendly.
The use of more detergent than
necessary will not improve your washing
results, and apart from costing you
money it will have a negative effect on
the preservation of the environment.
We therefore recommend you follow the
detergent manufacturer’s instructions.

same cycle phase it had stopped at.
Power Cuts
If there is a power cut, the washing
machine will continue to operate from
the point at which it stopped when
power is reconnected (its memory lasts
for a few hours).
Warnings:
A
Level the washing machine by
adjusting the feet to reduce the
noise caused by spin-drying.
A
Try and wash clothes of different
sizes in the same wash programme
to favour the distribution of the
clothes inside the drum during spin-
drying.
A
All the models have a safety system
for spin-drying that prevents spin-
drying from being carried out if the
distribution of the clothes inside
the drum is too concentrated.
This prevents the appliance from
vibrating too much.
If you find that the clothes are not
properly wrung out, try spin-drying
them again after having distributed
the clothes more evenly in the drum.

EN
18
Maintenance
After each wash, leave the door open
for a while to allow the air to circulate
freely inside the machine.
From time to time, depending on
the hardness of your water, it is
recommendable to run a full wash cycle
using a decalcifying product. This will
extend the life of your washing
machine.
C
The washing machine should
be disconnected from the mains
electricity supply before any cleaning
or maintenance is carried out.
Cleaning the detergent
dispenser
Clean the detergent dispenser whenever
there is any washing product residue left
inside.
• Pull outwards on the detergent
dispenser to remove it completely.
• Use warm water and a brush to
clean the compartments.
• Also clean the additive compartment
siphons, having removed them first.
Once they have been cleaned, put
them back making sure that they fit
right in to the back.
Put the dispenser back into the
washing machine.
C
A dirty or incorrectly fitted siphon
will prevent the additives from being
taken in and leave water inside
the compartment at the end of the
wash.
6 Maintenance and cleaning

EN

Cleaning The Filter
Clean the accessible filter if the drain
pump is blocked by any foreign objects.
• Use a coin to turn the filter cap.
• Pull out the filter cap.
• Place a container under the drain
pump filter to collect any water that
comes out of it.
• Half- or quarter-turn the filter to the
left.
Water will start to come out.
• When all the water has drained
out of the washing machine, turn
the filter several times until it can
be completely removed by gently
pulling on it.
• Remove the objects or fluff caught
in the filter or the drain pump.
Put the filter and the filter cap back
in place.
C
To avoid burns, do not carry out this
operation when the wash water is at
a temperature of over 30°C.
Cleaning the outside
The outside of the washing machine
should be cleaned with warm soapy
water or a gentle cleaning agent. Do
not use abrasive cleaning products or
solvents.
It should then be thoroughly dried with a
soft cloth.
C
When there have been spillages
of detergent or additives from
the dispenser onto the washing
machine cabinet, clean them up
right away as they are corrosive.

EN
