Installation
! This instruction manual should be kept in a safe place for
future reference. If the washing machine is sold, transferred
or moved, make sure that the instruction manual remains
with the machine so that the new owner is able to familiari-
se himself/herself with its operation and features.
! Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital infor-
mation relating to the safe installation and operation of the
appliance.
Unpacking and levelling
Unpacking
1. Remove the washing machine from its packaging.
2. Make sure that the washing machine has not been
damaged during the transportation process. If it has been
damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any
further with the installation process.
3. Remove the 4 protective
screws (used during tran-
sportation) and the rubber
washer with the correspon-
ding spacer, located on the
rear part of the appliance
(see figure).
4. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs provided.
5. Keep all the parts in a safe place: you will need them
again if the washing machine needs to be moved to ano-
ther location.
! Packaging materials should not be used as toys for
children.
Levelling
1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor, without
resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or anything
else.
2. If the floor is not perfectly
level, compensate for any
unevenness by tightening
or loosening the adjusta-
ble front feet (see figure);
the angle of inclination,
measured in relation to the
worktop, must not exceed
2°.
Levelling the machine correctly will provide it with stability,
help to avoid vibrations and excessive noise and prevent it
from shifting while it is operating. If it is placed on carpet or
a rug, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow a sufficient
ventilation space underneath the washing machine.
Connecting the electricity and water
supplies
Connecting the water inlet hose
1. Connect the supply pipe
by screwing it to a cold
water tab using a ¾ gas
threaded connection (see
figure).
Before performing the con-
nection, allow the water to
run freely until it is perfectly
clear.
2. Connect the inlet hose
to the washing machine by
screwing it onto the corre-
sponding water inlet of the
appliance, which is situa-
ted on the top right-hand
side of the rear part of the
appliance (see figure).
3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over or bent.
! The water pressure at the tap must fall within the values
indicated in the Technical details table (see next page).
! If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialised
shop or an authorised technician.
! Never use second-hand hoses.
! Use the ones supplied with the machine.

65 - 100 cm
Connecting the drain hose
Connect the drain hose,
without bending it, to a drai-
nage duct or a wall drain
located at a height between
65 and 100 cm from the
floor;
alternatively, rest it on
the side of a washbasin
or bathtub, fastening the
duct supplied to the tap
(see figure). The free end
of the hose should not be
underwater.
! We advise against the use of hose extensions; if it is
absolutely necessary, the extension must have the same
diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 150 cm
in length.
Electrical connections
Before plugging the appliance into the electricity socket,
make sure that:
• the socket is earthed and complies with all applicable
laws;
• the socket is able to withstand the maximum power load
of the appliance as indicated in the Technical data table
(see opposite);
• the power supply voltage falls within the values indicated
in the Technical data table (see opposite);
• the socket is compatible with the plug of the washing
machine. If this is not the case, replace the socket or the
plug.
! The washing machine must not be installed outdoors,
even in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave
the appliance exposed to rain, storms and other weather
conditions.
! When the washing machine has been installed, the elec-
tricity socket must be within easy reach.
! Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.
! The cable should not be bent or compressed.
! The power supply cable must only be replaced by autho-
rised technicians.
Warning! The company shall not be held responsible in the
event that these regulations are not respected.

Specials wash cycles
Express (wash cycle 10) this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 15 minutes and
therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting this wash cycle (10 at 30°C), it is possible to wash different fabrics toge-
ther (except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 1.5 kg.
Sport Intensive ( wash cycle 11) is for washing heavily soiled sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best
results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the “Table of wash cycles”.
Sport Light ( wash cycle 12) is for washing lightly soiled sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best results,
we recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the “Table of wash cycles”. We recommend using a
liquid detergent and dosage suitable for a half-load.
Sport Shoes ( wash cycle 13) is for washing sports shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs simultaneously.
Wash cycles
For all Test Institutes:
1) Test wash cycle in compliance with regulation EN 60456: set wash cycle 2 with a temperature of 60°C.
2) Long wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle 2 with a temperature of 40°C.
3) Short wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle 4 with a temperature of 40°C.
Table of wash cycles
The length of cycle shown on the display or in this booklet is an estimation only and is calculated assuming standard working conditions. The actual duration can vary accor-
ding to factors such as water temperature and pressure, the amount of detergent used, the amount and type of load inserted, load balancing and any wash options selected.

To activate the functions:
1. Press the button corresponding to the desired function;
2. the function is enabled when the corresponding indicator light is illuminated.
Note: If the indicator light flashes rapidly, this signals that this particular function may not be selected in conjunction with the
selected wash cycle.
Selecting this option enables you to suitably adjust drum rotation, temperature and water to a reduced load of lightly soiled
cotton and synthetic fabrics (refer to the “Table of wash cycles” ). “ ” enables you to wash in less time thereby saving
water and electricity. We suggest using a liquid detergent suitably measured out to the load quantity.
! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, , , .
Stain removal
Bleaching cycle designed to remove the toughest stains. Please remember to pour the bleach into extra compartment 4 (see
“Bleach cycle”).
! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 1, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, , .
Extra rinse
By selecting this option, the efficiency of the rinse is increased and optimal detergent removal is guaranteed. It is particularly
useful for sensitive skin.
! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 10, , .
Delay timer
This timer delays the start time of the wash cycle by up to 12 hours.
Press the button repeatedly until the indicator light corresponding to the desired delay time switches on. The fifth time the button

Detergents and laundry
Detergent dispenser drawer
Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of
detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessa-
rily result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause
build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to
environmental pollution.
! Do not use hand washing detergents because these
create too much foam.
Open the detergent di-
spenser drawer and pour
in the detergent or washing
additive, as follows.
Compartment 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder)
Before pouring in the detergent, make sure that extra com-
partment 4 has been removed.
compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle
(powder or liquid)
Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately
prior to the start of the wash cycle.
compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.
extra compartment 4: Bleach
Bleach cycle
! Traditional bleach should be used on sturdy white fa-
brics, and delicate bleach for coloured fabrics, synthetics
and for wool.
This option is particularly
useful for the removal of
stubborn stains. Place extra
compartment 4 (supplied)
into compartment 1.
When pouring in the
bleach, be careful not to
exceed the “max” level
marked on the central pivot
(see figure).
To run the bleach cycle on
its own, pour the bleach into extra compartment 4, set the
“Rinse” programme and activate the “Stain removal”
option.
To bleach during a wash cycle, pour in the detergent and
any fabric softener you wish to use, set the desired wash
cycle and enable the “Stain removal” option.
The use of extra compartment 4 excludes the “Pre-wash”
option.

Preparing the laundry
• Divide the laundry according to:
- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label
- the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.
• Empty all garment pockets and check the buttons.
• Do not exceed the listed values, which refer to the weight
of the laundry when dry:
Durable fabrics: max. 6 kg
Synthetic fabrics: max. 2,5 kg
Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg
Wool: max. 1,5 kg
Silk: max. 1 kg
How much does your laundry weigh?
1 sheet 400-500 g
1 pillow case 150-200 g
1 tablecloth 400-500 g
1 bathrobe 900-1200 g
1 towel 150-250 g
Garments requiring special care
Wool: all wool garments can be washed using programme
7, even those carrying the “hand-wash only” label. For
best results, use special detergents and do not exceed 1,5
kg of laundry.
Silk: use special wash cycle 8 to wash all silk garments.
We recommend the use of special detergent which has
been designed to wash delicate clothes.
Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow case or
mesh bag. Use wash cycle 8.
Jeans: Turn garments inside-out before washing and use
a liquid detergent. Use programme 9.
Load balancing system
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations and
to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates
continuously at a speed which is slightly greater than the
washing rotation speed. If, after several attempts, the load
is not balanced correctly, the machine spins at a reduced
spin speed. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the
washing machine performs the distribution process instead
of spinning. To encourage improved load distribution and
balance, we recommend small and large garments are
mixed in the load.

Precautions and tips
! This washing machine was designed and constructed in
accordance with international safety regulations. The fol-
lowing information is provided for safety reasons and must
therefore be read carefully.
General safety
• This appliance was designed for domestic use only.
• 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 applian-
ce by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Do not touch the machine when barefoot or with wet or
damp hands or feet.
• Do not pull on the power supply cable when unplugging
the appliance from the electricity socket. Hold the plug
and pull.
• Do not open the detergent dispenser drawer while the
machine is in operation.
• Do not touch the drained water as it may reach extreme-
ly high temperatures.
• Never force the porthole door. This could damage the
safety lock mechanism designed to prevent accidental
opening.
• If the appliance breaks down, do not under any circum-
stances access the internal mechanisms in an attempt
to repair it yourself.
• Always keep children well away from the appliance while
it is operating.
• The door can become quite hot during the wash cycle.
• If the appliance has to be moved, work in a group of two
or three people and handle it with the utmost care. Never
try to do this alone, because the appliance is very heavy.
• Before loading laundry into the washing machine, make
sure the drum is empty.
Disposal
• Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local
regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment, requires that
old household electrical appliances must not be
disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste
stream. Old appliances must be collected
separately in order to optimise the recovery and
recycling of the materials they contain and reduce
the impact on human health and the environment.
The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the
product reminds you of your obligation, that when
you dispose of the appliance it must be separately
collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority or
retailer for information concerning the correct
disposal of their old appliance.

10
GB
Care and maintenance
Cutting off the water and electricity
supplies
• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle. This will
limit wear on the hydraulic system inside the washing
machine and help to prevent leaks.
• Unplug the washing machine when cleaning it and du-
ring all maintenance work.
Cleaning the washing machine
The outer parts and rubber components of the appliance
can be cleaned using a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm
soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer
Remove the dispenser by
raising it and pulling it out
(see figure).
Wash it under running wa-
ter; this operation should be
repeated frequently.
Caring for the door and drum of your
appliance
• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent
unpleasant odours from forming.
Cleaning the pump
The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning pump
which does not require any maintenance. Sometimes, small
items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into the pre-cham-
ber which protects the pump, situated in its bottom part.
! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug the
appliance.
To access the pre-chamber:
1. using a screwdriver,
remove the cover panel
on the lower front part of
the washing machine (see
figure);
2. unscrew the lid by rota-
ting it anti-clockwise (see
figure): a little water may
trickle out. This is perfectly
normal;
3. clean the inside thoroughly;
4. screw the lid back on;
5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely
in place before you push it onto the appliance.
Checking the water inlet hose
Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If there are any
cracks, it should be replaced immediately: during the wash
cycles, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose
could easily split open.
! Never use second-hand hoses.

Troubleshooting
Your washing machine could fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre (see “Assistance”), make sure
that the problem cannot be not solved easily using the following list.
Problem:
The washing machine does not
switch on.
The wash cycle does not start.
The washing machine does not
take in water (the indicator light for
the first wash cycle stage flashes
rapidly).
The washing machine continuously
takes in and drains water.
The washing machine does not
drain or spin.
The washing machine vibrates a lot
during the spin cycle.
The washing machine leaks.
The “option” indicator lights and the
“start/pause” indicator light flash,
while one of the “phase in progress”
indicator lights and the “door lo-
cked” indicator light will remain lit in
a fixed manner.
There is too much foam.
Possible causes / Solutions:
• The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or is not making contact.
• There is no power in the house.
• The washing machine door is not closed properly.
• The ON/OFF button has not been pressed.
• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.
• The water tap has not been opened.
• A delayed start has been set (see “Personalisation”).
• The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap.
• The hose is bent.
• The water tap has not been opened.
• There is no water supply in the house.
• The pressure is too low.
• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.
• The drain hose is not fitted at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor
(see “Installation”).
• The free end of the hose is under water (see “Installation”).
• The wall drainage system is not fitted with a breather pipe.
If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water tap, switch
the appliance off and contact the Assistance Service. If the dwelling is on one of
the upper floors of a building, there may be problems relating to water drainage,
causing the washing machine to fill with water and drain continuously. Special
anti-draining valves are available in shops and help to avoid this inconvenience.
• The wash cycle does not include draining: some wash cycles require the drain
phase to be started manually.
• The drain hose is bent (see “Installation”).
• The drainage duct is clogged.
• The drum was not unlocked correctly during installation (see “Installation”).
• The washing machine is not level (see “Installation”).
• The washing machine is trapped between cabinets and walls (see “Installation”).
• The water inlet hose is not screwed on properly (see “Installation”).
• The detergent dispenser drawer is blocked (for cleaning instructions, see “Care
and maintenance”).
• The drain hose is not fixed properly (see “Installation”).
• Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1 minute and then
switch it back on again.
If the problem persists, contact the Technical Assistance Service.
• The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should display the text
“for washing machines” or “hand and machine wash”, or the like).
• Too much detergent was used.

12
GB
Service
Before calling for Assistance:
• Check whether you can solve the problem alone (see “Troubleshooting”);
• Restart the programme to check whether the problem has been solved;

Nivelación
1. Instale la lavadora sobre un piso plano y rígido, sin apo-
yarla en las paredes, muebles ni en ningún otro aparato.
2. Si el piso no está perfec-
tamente horizontal, com-
pense las irregularidades
desenroscando o enro-
scando las patas delanteras
(ver la figura); el ángulo de
inclinación medido sobre
la superficie de trabajo, no
debe superar los 2º.
Una cuidadosa nivelación
brinda estabilidad a la
máquina y evita vibraciones, ruidos y desplazamientos du-
rante el funcionamiento. Cuando se instala sobre moque-
tas o alfombras, regule los pies para conservar debajo de
la lavadora un espacio suficiente para la ventilación.

Detergentes y ropa
Contenedor de detergentes
El buen resultado del lavado depende también de la cor-
recta dosificación del detergente: si se excede la cantidad,
no se lava de manera más eficaz, sino que se contribuye a
encostrar las partes internas de la lavadora y a contaminar
el medio ambiente.
! No use detergentes para el lavado a mano porque pro-
ducen demasiada espuma.
Extraiga el contenedor de
detergentes e introduzca el
detergente o el aditivo de la
siguiente manera:
cubeta 1: Detergente para prelavado (en polvo)
Antes de verter el detergente, verifique que no esté colo-
cada la cubeta adicional 4.
cubeta 2: Detergente para lavado (en polvo o
líquido)
El detergente líquido se debe verter sólo antes de la pue-
sta en marcha.
cubeta 3: Aditivos (suavizante, etc.)
El suavizante no se debe volcar fuera de la rejilla.
cubeta adicional 4: Blanqueador
Ciclo de blanqueo
! El blanqueador tradicional debe utilizarse para los teji-
dos resistentes blancos, mientras que el delicado debe
utilizarse para la lana y los tejidos coloreados y sintéticos.
Introduzca la cubeta adicio-
nal 4 suministrada con el
aparato, en la cubeta 1.
Al verter el blanqueador
no debe superar el nivel
“máx.” indicado en el per-
no central (véase la figura).
Para realizar sólo el blanqueo, vierta el blanqueador en la
cubeta adicional 4, seleccione el programa “Aclarado” y
active la función “Antimancha” .
Para blanquear durante el lavado, vierta el detergente y
los aditivos, seleccione el programa deseado y active la
función “Antimancha” .
El uso de la cubeta adicional 4 excluye el prelavado.

Preparar la ropa
• Subdivida la ropa según:
- el tipo de tejido / el símbolo en la etiqueta.
- los colores: separe las prendas de color y las blancas.
• Vacíe los bolsillos y controle los botones.
• No supere los valores indicados, referidos al peso de la
ropa seca:
Tejidos resistentes: max 6 kg.
Tejidos sintéticos: max 2,5 kg.
Tejidos delicados: max 2 kg.
Lana: max 1,5 kg.
Seda: max 1 kg.
¿Cuánto pesa la ropa?
1 sábana 400/500 g
1 funda 150/200 g
1 mantel 400/500 g
1 albornoz 900/1200 g
1 toalla 150/250 g
Prendas especiales
Lana: con el programa 7 es posible lavar en la lavadora
todas las prendas de lana, aún las que contienen la eti-
queta “sólo lavado a mano” Para obtener los mejores
resultados utilice un detergente específico y no supere
1,5 Kg. de ropa.
Seda: utilice el programa correspondiente 8 para lavar
todas las prendas de seda. Se aconseja el uso de un
detergente específico para prendas delicadas.
Cortinas: pliéguelas y colóquelas dentro de una funda o
de una bolsa de red. Utilice el programa 8.
Jeans: vuelva del revés las prendas antes del lavado y
utilice un detergente líquido. Utilice el programa 9.
Sistema de equilibrado de la carga
Antes de cada centrifugado, para evitar vibraciones exce-
sivas y para distribuir la carga de modo uniforme, el cesto
realiza rotaciones a una velocidad ligeramente superior a la
del lavado. Si después de varios intentos, la carga todavía
no está correctamente equilibrada, la máquina realiza el
centrifugado a una velocidad inferior a la prevista. Cuando
existe un excesivo desequilibrio, la lavadora realiza la
distribución antes que el centrifugado. Para obtener una
mejor distribución de la carga y su correcto equilibrado, se
aconseja mezclar prendas grandes y pequeñas.
