A. Programme selector
F.Anti-crease button
Use this dial to select one of the 15 wash programmes
available for all your laundry requirements (see programme
table on page 5).
Remember that this dial should be turned in a clockwise
direction and only when the machine is off.
This function interrupts the cycle so that the laundry is left
soaking in water before the spin cycle.
This function is extremely useful because it stops delicate or
synthetic fabrics from creasing (for example when one has
to wait several hours before removing the laundry load).
It should be used only with the programmes for synthetic
fabrics and woollens.
IMPORTANT:Before opening the door, drain away the water
by setting knob A on "drain". To carry out the spin cycle,
simplypress F.
B. Temperatureselector
Use this dial to set the wash temperature shown in the
programme table (page 5). You may reduce the
recommended wash temperature of the programme you
have selected or run a cold wash (symbol ).
Note: When using cycle number 2, do not use tempe-
rature settings below 60°C.

Using your washer
Preparing your laundry....
Alternate small and large items when
loading your washer
Divide your laundry by fabric and colour fastness.Wash white
and coloured items separately.
Remember to empty pockets, removing especially those small
items like coins, paper, pins and badges that might jam the
pump.Fasten or remove loose buttons and fasten zippers.
Turn shirts inside out for better results.
This washing machine has an electronic load balancing
control:before carrying out the spin cycle, this device ensures
that the laundry is arranged as evenly as possible in the drum,
according to the type of fabric and the way it was initially
loaded. This will minimize vibration and noise even during
the fastest spin cycle. For best results however, we
recommend you alternate small and large items when you
load your washing machine remember to spread them out;
never wash large loads of terry cloth items.
Check wash labels
Garments and laundry generally have wash instruction labels
(which tell you if they shloud be dry-cleaned, hand washed
or machine washed) showing the wash temperature, how
to iron etc.
Important: fabrics should only be machine washed if their
labels show the appropriate symbol (see table 1).

Never fill compartment 3 above the grid.
Detergents and fabric softener
Use compartment 2 for liquid detergent, filling the
compartment just before you start the washer.Remember
that liquid detergent is ideal for wash cycles with
temperatures up to 60°C and for the programmes with no
prewash cycle.Special containers are available for liquid and
powder detergents. Fill the container and place in the drum
with the laundry, following the instructions shown on the
detergent packet.
Open detergent dispenser C by pulling it outwards.Fill with
detergent and conditioner using the quantities indicated by
the manufacturer on the packet according to the load you
are washing, the water hardness and how soiled your laundry
is. As you become more familiar with your washer, you will
regulate the quantities according to your own personal
experience.
Do not use hand washing detergents since these produce
very heavy suds.
When using cold wash cycles, remember to reduce the
detergent dosage.

Washing tips
Stain removal
What not to wash in your appliance?
The most common stains will disappear during the wash. If
they are particularly stubborn, soak the garment in water
and rub a little detergent onto the stain before putting it in
the washing machine.
Greasy marks (especially old ones) need treating with a stain-
remover. Be careful not to mark the fabric with remover.
- Torn, frayed or unhemmed items; in order to wash items
of this kind, wrap them in a linen bag to prevent them from
tearing during the wash.
- Dark coloured items with white items.Dark items should
be washed separately .
Curtains
Pre-treatment for awkward stains
Curtains tend to crease badly.Try this washing hint to prevent
creases:fold the curtains carefully and place in a pillow case
or loose mesh bag; wash separately ensuring that the weight
is no more than a half wash load.
- Ink:ball point/felt tip;Put a few drops of nail varnish remover
or surgical spirit onto a piece of cotton wool and dab the
stain.Wash at 90°C (NB.This is only suitable for colourfast
cottons)
- Tar and oil; Scrape off any thick tar or oil on the surface.
Soften the remainder with margarine or butter and wipe
away with a clean cloth. Treat any residual stain with
turpentine, then wash according to the fabric
- Wax; Scrape off, then put the stained garment between
two pieces of blotting paper and press with a hot iron.Dab
the stain immediately with cotton wool dipped in turpentine
- Chewing gum; Apply nail varnish remover to the gum,
then remove it carefully
Quilts, tennis shoes and wind-cheaters
Contrary to common belief, goose or duck down quilts and
wind-cheaters, can in fact be machine washed, provided
the instructions shown on the label are followed carefully.
Remember however to load no more than 2-3 kg of laundry
and to repeat the rinse cycle once or twice following with a
gentle spin. In the case of tennis shoes, wipe off mud and
then machine wash with denims or heavy fabrics (but not
white fabrics).
- Lipstick;Pretreat with a liquid detergent using the dosing
ball, rub vigorously and rinse before washing
- Grass; Soak in a warm washing solution using a biological
washing product, then wash according to the fabric.
Alternatively, saturate the stain with white methylated spirit.
Rinse and wash normally
- Paint:Water based latex, acrylic and school paints, emulsion
paints;Treat stains while still wet. Rinse thoroughly under
running water to flush out the paint, then wash according
to the fabric.
Oil based paint/varnish; Sponge with white spirit or paint
brush cleaner before washing in the normal way.
Do not exceed the recommended weights
shown in the table
For best washing results, do not exceed the recommended
weights shown in the table;the weights shown refer to dry
laundry.

Energy saving hints
-Try to wash complete laundry loads:this saves unnecessary
consumption of water and energy.
-Your washer features automatic consumption control, this
means that you can wash laundry loads from 1 - 5 kg with
considerable savings. Your washer will use just the right
amount of water and electricity. All you need to do is dose
the detergent.
- Fabric softeners: always use a softener; not only do these
perfume and soften your laundry, they also make it easy to
iron, saving you time.
- Select the right programme for your laundry: this will
obviously depend on the type of fabric and how soiled your
laundry is;we recommend the use of programmes without
prewash which will save you time, water and energy. The
prewash cycle should in fact be used only for heavily soiled,
cotton fabrics.
- Set the right temperature:use temperatures above 60°C
only for very stubborn dirt but remember that modern
detergents are very efficient even at low temperatures.
- Use the correct quantities of detergent: do not use too
much detergent; remember that not only will this make
rinsing more difficult but also pollutes the enviroment.
- Use the economy buttons: when washing small laundry
loads use the Economy button if available on your washer
and reduce the detergent quantity.
General maintenance
After every wash
When moving house
Leave the door open and wipe the door gasket dry after
each wash so that damp or odours do not form.
When you move, all you need to do is secure the inside of
the machine with the transit screws (supplied with the
packaging of the machine) so that it will not be damaged.
Remove the plug
Cleaning and special servicing
Before cleaning or servicing always remove the plug from
the socket. This is for safety reasons.
Hose
No solvents or abrasive substance
Check the hose once a year. It should be replaced if any
signs of splitting or damage can be seen. The machine is
under a lot of strain while operating and this may cause a
cracked hose to split open suddenly.
You do not need solvents or abrasive substances to clean
the outside of the washing-machine and the rubber parts.
Just use a cloth, warm water and soap.
Detergent dispenser
drawer
Inspecting the drain pump
Your washer has a self-cleaning pump and therefore requires
no cleaning or mainteannce.
This can be removed and
cleaned. Just pull it towards
you, as shown in the diagram,
and leave it under running
water for a few minutes.
Removing limescale
Water contains increasing amounts of limescale because of
pollution. If you live in a hard water area in addition to
using water-softener in each wash, it is a good idea to put
the machine through a cycle without laundry or detergent,
just using limescale remover.
Unplug the machine when you go away
It’s best to unplug the machine when you go away, turn off
the water supply and leave the machine door open or ajar.
The drum and rubber door lining will dry and no unpleasant
odours will form inside.

Trouble shooting
If the machine does not seem to be working properly before
calling the service engineer there are a number of things
you can check. Perhaps you have forgotten to push in a
button or you are not using the machine properly.
Excessive formation of suds.
Make sure:
the type of detergent you have used - is it suitable for an
automati washer - have you used too much detergent?
Machine won't start
Make sure:
If despite all this your washer is still not running properly, call
your local Authorized Service Centre providing the
following information:
the appliance is plugged to the mains socket; you have
electricity in your home, the door is firmly shut, the ON/OFF
button D is on I, the programming cycle knob, in washers
which have one, is on O, the programme is properly set and
the mains water tap is open.
-
-
fault
model code (Mod. ....)
and serial number (S/N ....)
shown on the data plate at the back of your washer.
Machine won't fill
Make sure:
Never use the services of an unauthorised servicing technician
and insist on the use of original spare parts.
the water tap is open and connected correctly to the hose;
the water mains has not been cut off and that water pressure
is sufficient;also check the hose for kinks.
Water is pumping in and out all the time
Make sure:
there are no kinks in the drain pipe and that it is at least at a
height of 60-100 cm; the pipe mouth is not below water
level and that the wall drain has no air outlet.If the problems
continue even after you have checked these points, shut
the water tap and turn off your washer.
Problems with pumping out water or
spinning
Make sure:
the programme selected has a draining cycle; the non
creasing "hydropstop" button, on washers which have one,
has not been pressed accidentally;the drainage pump is not
jammed; the drain pipe is bent; the drainage piping is
plugged; any drainage pipe extensions are properly
connected and do not prevent water flow.
Lots of vibration during the spin
Make sure:
the internal oscillating unit was released correctly at the time
of installation (see installation instructions); the washer is
levelled correctly or too tightly fitted between furniture units
and the wall.
Your washer is leaking.
Make sure:
the ring nut of the supply pipe is firmly tightened; the
detergent dispenser is not plugged and the drainage pipe is
firmly fixed.

Installation
Transit packing
After removing the packing, check the appliance for damage.
If you have any doubts do not use the washer and call a quali-
fied technician. Keep the packaging components (plastic bags,
polyester foam, nails etc.) out of the reach of children since
they could be dangerous.The interior of the washer, has an
oscillating unit which is fixed on the back by 2 screws during
transport (fig.1). Before starting up the washer, release the
unit, by unscrewing the 2 screws. Seal the screw holes with
the plastic plugs supplied with the appliance.
Fig. 4
Fig. 3
Drain hose
The drain hose (hooked pipe) is secured to the rear of the
machine by support clips and may be routed to right or left
as required (see fig.5).The drain hose should be placed in a
stand pipe with a minimum internal diameter of 38 mm (1½
inches) or it can be positioned over a sink (see fig. 6) or it
can be connected as shown in fig. 7. The height of stand
pipe or sink should be between 60 and 100 cm (24 and 40
inches).Care must be taken that the hose is not obstructed,
twisted, submerged or kinked. If the hose is connected with
an airtight joining, provision should be made to prevent
syphoning.
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
Levelling
The washer must be perfectly levelled.To level the appliance,
only the front feet need to be adjusted (see fig.2);remember
that the inclination of the working surface must not be more
than 2 degrees.If the washer is installed on a carpeted floor,
check that there is sufficient ventilation space between the
floor and the bottom of the washer.
Water supply
Both hot and cold water supplies are preferable and they
should be between 34.5kN/m²(5lb/in²) and 1034.2kN/m²
(150lb/in²) pressure.The hose with the red end piece must
be connected to the hot water supply and the connector
on the back of the appliance (see fig. 3), which is identified
by its red color or marked with the letter H on the side.The
hose with the white end piece must be connected to the
cold water supply and the connector on the back of the
appliance (see fig. 3), which is identified by its white color or
the letter Con the side. Remember to insert a sealing washer
at each connection to ensure watertight joints. Do not
overtighten the connections by using tools -hand tight is
sufficient to prevent leaks.It is generally more convenient to
have these supplies away from the sink taps. Where no
suitable hot water supply is available or it does not meet
these requirements, both inlet hoses may be connected to a
cold supply by using two taps etc., or a «T» junction on the
plumbing (see fig. 4) however, use of cold water only will
increase programme times.
