Connecting the drain hose
GB
Connect the drain hose,
without bending it, to a
draining duct or a wall
drain situated between
65 and 100 cm from
the floor;
! Do not use extensions or multiple sockets.
! The power supply cable must never be bent or
dangerously compressed.
65 - 100 cm
! The power supply cable must only be replaced by
an authorised serviceman.
Warning! The company denies all liability if and when
these norms are not respected.
alternatively, place it
over the edge of a
basin, sink or tub,
fastening the duct
supplied to the tap (see
figure). The free end of
the hose should not be
underwater.
The first wash cycle
Once the appliance has been installed, and before
you use it for the first time, run a wash cycle with
detergent and no laundry, setting the 90°C
programme without a pre-wash cycle.
! We advise against the use of hose extensions; in
case of absolute need, the extension must have the
same diameter as the original hose and must not
exceed 150 cm in length.

Precautions and advice
! The washing machine was designed and built in
compliance with the applicable international safety
regulations. The following information is provided for
your safety and should consequently be read
carefully.
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
General safety
• This appliance has been designed for non-
professional, household use and its functions must
not be changed.
• Disposing of an old washing machine:
before scrapping your appliance, cut the power
supply cable and remove the appliance door.
• This washing machine should only be used by
adults and in accordance with the instructions
provided in this manual.
Saving energy and respecting the
environment
Environmentally-friendly technology
• Never touch the washing machine when barefoot
or with wet or damp hands or feet.
If you only see a little water through your appliance
door, this is because thanks to the latest technology,
your washing machine only needs less than half the
amount of water to get the best results: an objective
reached to respect the environment.
• Do not pull on the power supply cable to unplug
the appliance from the electricity socket. Pull the
plug out yourself.
Saving on detergent, water,
energy and time
• Do not open the detergent dispenser while the
appliance is in operation.
• To avoid wasting resources, the washing machine
should be used with a full load. A full load instead
of two half loads allows you to save up to 50% on
energy.
• Do not touch the drain water as it could reach
very high temperatures.
• Never force the washing machine door: this could
damage the safety lock mechanism designed to
prevent any accidental openings.
• The pre-wash cycle is only necessary on
extremely soiled garments. Avoiding it will save on
detergent, time, water and between 5 and 15%
energy.
• In the event of a malfunction, do not under any
circumstances touch internal parts in order to
attempt repairs.
• Treating stains with a stain remover or leaving
them to soak before washing will cut down the
need to wash them at high temperatures. A
programme at 60°C instead of 90°C or one at
40°C instead of 60°C will save up to 50% on
energy.
• Always keep children well away from the
appliance while in operation.
• The appliance door tends to get quite hot during
the wash cycle.
• Use the correct quantity of detergent depending
on the water hardness, how soiled the garments
are and the amount of laundry you have, to avoid
wastage and to protect the environment: despite
being biodegradable, detergents do contain
ingredients that alter the natural balance of the
environment. In addition, avoid using fabric
softener as much as possible.
• Should it have to be moved, proceed with the
help 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 your laundry into the washing
machine, make sure the drum is empty.
• If you use your washing machine from late in the
afternoon until the early hours of the morning, you
will help reduce the electricity board's peak load.
The Delay Timer option (see page 7) helps to
organise your wash cycles accordingly.
Disposal
• Disposal of old electrical appliances
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), 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.
• If your laundry has to be dried in a tumble dryer,
select a high spin speed. Having the least water
possible in your laundry will save you time and
energy in the drying process.
9
Care and maintenance
Cutting off the water or electricity
supply
Cleaning the pump
GB
The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning
pump that does not require any maintenance.
Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons)
may fall into the pre-chamber that protects the
pump, situated in the lower part of the same.
•
Turn off the water tap after every wash. This will
limit the wear of your appliance's water system
and also prevent leaks.
•
Unplug your appliance when cleaning it and
during all maintenance operations.
! Make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug
the appliance.
Cleaning your appliance
To access the pre-chamber:
The exterior and rubber parts of your appliance can
be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm
soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
1. using a screwdriver,
remove the cover panel
on the lower front of the
washing machine (see
figure);
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
Remove the dispenser
by pulling it out (see
figure).
Wash it under running
water; this operation
should be repeated
frequently.
2. unscrew the lid
rotating it anti-
clockwise (see figure): a
little water may trickle
out. This is perfectly
normal;
Caring for your appliance door and
drum
•
Always leave the appliance door ajar to prevent
unpleasant odours from forming.
3. clean the interior 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 water inlet hose at least once a year. If
you see any cracks, replace it immediately: during
the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and
a cracked hose could easily split open.
! Never use hoses that have already been used.
10
Troubleshooting
Your washing machine could fail to work. Before calling for Assistance (see page 12), make sure the problem
can't easily be solved by consulting the following list.
GB
Possible causes/Solution:
Problem
• The appliance is not plugged into the socket, or not enough to
make contact.
• There has been a power failure.
The washing machine won't
start.
• The appliance door is not shut properly (the word DOOR is
displayed).
The wash cycle won't start.
• The
button has not been pressed.
• The START/RESET button has not been pressed.
• The water tap is not turned on.
• A delayed start has been set (using the Delay Timer, see page 7).
The washing machine fails to

code (i.e. F-01).
• This means there is a problem with the machine. Before calling
Assistance, please follow the set of instructions below:
1. Switch off the machine.
2. Remove the plug connecting the appliance to the mains supply and
wait for at least 40 seconds.
3. Place the plug back into the socket.
4. Switch on the machine.
5. If the problem is still evident after this process has been carried out,
contact Assistance.all for Assistance because this means there is an
abnormality.
• The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should bear
the definition "for washing machines" or "hand and machine wash",
or the like).
There is too much foam.
• You used too much detergent.
