! 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 tap 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.

Specials wash cycles
Express (wash cycle 9) 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 (9 at 30°C), it is possible to wash different fabrics together
(except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 1.5 kg.
Outwear ( wash cycle 10) is studied for washing water-repellent fabrics and winter jackets (e.g. Gore-Tex, polyester,
nylon); for best results, use a liquid detergent and dosage suitable for a half-load; pre-treat necks, cuffs and stains if
necessary; do not use softeners or detergents containing softeners. Stuffed duvets cannot be washed with this pro-
gramme.
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.

The cycle duration indicated on the display or instruction manual is an estimate based on standard conditions. The actual duration may vary in rela-
tion to several factors, such as the temperature and pressure of the incoming water, ambient temperature, amount of detergent, load quantity and
type, load balancing and any additional options selected.
For all Test Institutes:
1) Test wash cycle in compliance with regulation 2010/1061: set wash cycle 2 with a temperature of 60°C and 40°C.
This cycle is designed for cotton loads with a normal soil level and is the most efficient in terms of both electricity and water consumption;
it should be used for garments which can be washed at 60°C and 40°C. The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated
value.
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.
4) Synthetic program along: set wash cycle 5 with a temperature of 40°C.

Setting the temperature
Turn the TEMPERATURE knob to set the wash temperature (see Table of wash cycles).
The temperature may be lowered, or even set to a cold wash .
The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a temperature which is higher than the maximum value
set for each wash cycle.
Setting the spin speed
Turn the SPIN SPEED knob to set the spin speed for the selected wash cycle.
The maximum spin speeds available for each wash cycle are as follows:
Wash cycles Maximum spin speed
Cottons 1000 rpm
Synthetics 800 rpm
Wool 800 rpm
Silk drain only
The spin speed may be lowered, or the spin cycle can be excluded altogether by selecting the symbol .
The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a spin speed which is higher than the maximum speed
set for each wash cycle.
Functions
The various wash functions available with this washing machine will help to achieve the desired results, every time.
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, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, , , .
The function saves energy by not heating the water used to wash your laundry - an advantage both to the
environment and to your energy bill. Instead, intensified wash action and water optimisation ensure great wash results in the
same average time of a standard cycle.
For the best washing results we recommend the usage of a liquid detergent.
! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 1, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, , , .
Mini load
This option is recommended for when the load of laundry is equal to half, or less than half, of the maximum recommended
load.
! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, , .
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
is pressed, the function will be disabled.
N.B. Once the START/PAUSE button has been pressed, the delay time can only be modified by decreasing it until launching
the set programme.
! This option is enabled with all programmes.

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.
! Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for pre-
washing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C.
! Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging.
Open the detergent di-
spenser drawer and pour
in the detergent or washing
additive, as follows.
compartment 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder)
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.
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. 9 kg
Synthetic fabrics: max. 3,5 kg
Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg
Wool: max. 2 kg
Silk: max. 2 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
6, even those carrying the “hand-wash only” label. For
best results, use special detergents and do not exceed 2
kg of laundry.
Silk: use special wash cycle 7 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 7.
Jeans: Turn garments inside-out before washing and use
a liquid detergent. Use programme 8.
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 (inclu-
ding children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concer-
ning 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.
• The washing machine must only be used by adults, in
accordance with the instructions provided in this manual.
• 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 extremely
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 regu-
lations 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.

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
during 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-chamber 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 “function” indicator lights and
the “start/pause” indicator light
flash, while one of the “phase in pro-
gress” indicator lights and the “door
locked” 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

• 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.

Desembalaje y nivelación
Desembalaje
1. Desembale la lavadora.
2. Controle que la lavadora no haya sufrido daños durante
el transporte. Si estuviera dañada no la conecte y llame al
revendedor.
3. Quite los 4 tornillos de
protección para el transporte
y la arandela de goma con
el correspondiente distan-
ciador ubicados en la parte
posterior (ver la figura).
4. Cubra los orificios con los tapones de plástico sumini-
strados con el aparato.
5. Conserve todas las piezas: cuando la lavadora deba ser
transportada nuevamente, deberán volver a colocarse.
! Los embalajes no son juguetes para los niños.
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.

La duración del ciclo que se indica en el visor o en el manual es una estimación calculada en base a condiciones estándar. El tiempo efectivo puede
variar en función de numerosos factores como la temperatura y la presión del agua de entrada, la temperatura ambiente, la cantidad de detergente, la
cantidad y el tipo de carga, el equilibrado de la carga y las opciones adicionales seleccionadas.
Para todos los Test Institutes:
1) Programa de control según la norma 2010/1061: seleccione el programa 2 con una temperatura de 60ºC y 40°C.
Este ciclo es adecuado para limpiar una carga de algodón normalmente sucia, es el más eficiente en lo que se refiere al consumo combi-
nado con la energía y la cantidad de agua y se usa con prendas lavables a 60ºC y 40°C. La temperatura efectiva de lavado puede diferir
de la indicada.
2) Programa algodón largo: seleccione el programa 2 con una temperatura de 40ºC.
3) Programa algodón corto: seleccione el programa 4 con una temperatura de 40ºC.

Funciones
Las distintas funciones de lavado previstas por la lavadora permiten obtener la limpieza y el blanco deseados.
Para activar las funciones:
1. presione el botón correspondiente a la función deseada;
2. el encendido del piloto correspondiente indica que la función está activa.
Nota: El centelleo rápido del piloto indica que la función correspondiente no se puede seleccionar para el programa elegido.
Seleccionando esta opción, se optimizan el movimiento mecánico, la temperatura y el agua para una carga reducida de
prendas de algodón y sintéticas poco sucias (ver la “Tabla de programas”).
Con “ ” se puede lavar en un tiempo menor, ahorrando agua y energía. Se aconseja utilizar una dosis de detergente
líquido adecuada a la cantidad de carga.
! No se puede activar con los programas 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, , , .
La función contribuye al ahorro energético porque no calienta el agua utilizada para lavar la ropa, esto constituye
una ventaja tanto para el ambiente como para la factura de electricidad. La mayor potencia y el consumo optimizado del
agua, garantizan óptimos resultados para la misma duración promedio de un ciclo estándar. Para obtener los mejores resul-
tados de lavado, se aconseja el uso de un detergente líquido.
! No se puede activar con los programas 1, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, , , .
Mini Carga
Se aconseja utilizar esta función cuando la cantidad de ropa para lavar es igual o inferior a la mitad de la carga máxima
aconsejada.
! No se puede activar con los programas 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, , .
Comienzo retrasado
Retrasa la puesta en marcha de la máquina hasta 12 horas.
Presione varias veces el botón hasta hacer encender la luz testigo correspondiente al retraso deseado. La quinta vez que se
presione el botón, la función se desactivará.
Nota: Una vez presionado el botón START/PAUSE, se puede modificar el valor del retraso sólo disminuyéndolo hasta que se
ponga en marcha el programa seleccionado.
! Se puede utilizar en todos los programas.

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.
! Utilice detergentes en polvo para prendas de algodón
blancas, para el prelavado y para lavados con una tempe-
ratura mayor que 60ºC.
! Respete las indicaciones que se encuentran en el envase
de detergente.
Extraiga el contenedor de
detergentes e introduzca el
detergente o el aditivo de la
siguiente manera:
cubeta 1: Detergente para prelavado (en polvo)
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.
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 9 kg.
Tejidos sintéticos: max 3,5 kg.
Tejidos delicados: max 2 kg.
Lana: max 2 kg.
Seda: max 2 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

Prendas especiales
Lana: con el programa 6 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
2 Kg. de ropa.
Seda: utilice el programa correspondiente 7 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 7.
Jeans: vuelva del revés las prendas antes del lavado y
utilice un detergente líquido. Utilice el programa 8.
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.
