Helpful hints and tips
Sorting out the laundry
Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label and
the manufacturer’s washing instructions. Sort the laundry
as follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, wool-
lens.
Temperatures
95° or 90°
for normally soiled white cottons
and linen (e.g. tea cloths, towels, ta-
blecloths, sheets...)
60°/50°
for normally soiled, colour fast gar-
ments (e.g. shirts, night dresses,
pyjamas....) in linen, cotton or syn-
thetic fibres and for lightly soiled
white cotton (e.g. underwear)
40°-30°- Cold
for delicate items (e.g. net curtains),
mixed laundry including synthetic
fibres and woollens bearing the la-
bel «pure new wool, machine wash-
able, non-shrink»
Before loading the laundry
Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites may
lose their «whiteness» in the wash.
New coloured items may run in the first wash; they should
therefore be washed separately the first time.
Make sure that no metal objects are left in the laundry
(e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).
Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and
poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.
Remove persistent stains before washing.
Rub particularly soiled areas with a special detergent or
detergent paste.
Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or tie them
up in a bag or net.
Maximum loads
Recommended loads are indicated in the washing pro-
gramme charts.
General rules:
• Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed;
• Synthetics: drum no more than half full;
• Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more than one
third full.
Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient use of
water and energy.
For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.
Laundry weights
The following weights are indicative:
The following weights are indicative:
bathrobe 1200 g
quilt cover 700 g
man’s work shirt 600 g
sheet, man’s pyjamas 500 g
tablecloth 250 g
pillow case, towelling towel, night
dress, man’s shirt
200 g
tea cloth, ladies’ briefs, napkin,
blouse, men’s underpants
100 g
Removing stains
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and de-
tergent. It is therefore advisable to treat them prior to
washing.
Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried stains,
soak overnight in water with a special detergent then rub
in the soap and water.
9
Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain remover, lay
the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain; treat several
times.
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay the gar-
ment on a soft surface and dab the stain with the fingertips
and a cotton cloth.
Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust removing
product used cold. Be careful with rust stains which are
not recent since the cellulose structure will already have
been damaged and the fabric tends to hole.
Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whites and fast
coloureds only).
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and fast
coloureds only).
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone
1)
, lay the
garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat stains
with methylated spirits. Treat any residual marks with
bleach.
Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and treat with
acetic or citric acid, then rinse. Treat any residual marks
with bleach.
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric first
with acetone
1)
, then with acetic acid; treat any residual
marks on white fabrics with bleach and then rinse thor-
oughly.
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated spirits
or benzine, then rub with detergent paste.
Detergents and additives
Good washing results also depend on the choice of deter-
gent and use of the correct quantities to avoid waste and
protect the environment.
Although biodegradable, detergents contain substances
which, in large quantities, can upset the delicate balance
of nature.
The choice of detergent will depend on the type of fabric
(delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the colour, washing
temperature and degree of soiling.
All commonly available washing machine detergents may
be used in this appliance:
• powder detergents for all types of fabric
• powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C max) and
woollens
• liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature wash
programmes (60°C max) for all types of fabric, or spe-
cial for woollens only.
The detergent and any additives must be placed in the ap-
propriate compartments of the dispenser drawer before
starting the wash programme.
Prewash detergent is to be added straight into the
drum
If using liquid detergents, a programme without prewash
must be selected. Pour the liquid detergent into the deter-
gent compartment immediately before you start the pro-
gramme.
Your appliance incorporates a recirculation system which
allows an optimal use of the concentrated detergent.
Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations on
quantities to use and do not exceed the «MAX» mark in
the detergent dispenser drawer.
Degrees of water hardness
Water hardness is classified in so-called “degrees” of
hardness. Information on hardness of the water in your
area can be obtained from the relevant water supply com-
pany, or from your local authority. If the water hardness
degree is medium or high we suggest you to add a water
softener following always the manufacturer’s instructions.
When the degree of hardness is soft, readjust the quantity
of the detergent.
1) do not use acetone on artificial silk

Care and cleaning
Important! You must DISCONNECT the appliance from the
electricity supply, before you can carry out any cleaning or
maintenance work.
Descaling
The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good idea
to periodically use a water softening powder in the ma-
chine. Do this separately from any laundry washing, and
according to the softening powder manufacturer's instruc-
12
tions. This will help to prevent the formation of lime de-
posits.
Maintenance Wash
With the use of low temperature washes it is possible to
get a build up of residues inside the drum.
We recommend that a maintenance wash be performed on
a regular basis.
To run a maintenance wash:
• The drum should be empty of laundry.
• Select the hottest cotton wash programme.
• Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a powder
with biological properties.
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and
water only, and then dry thoroughly.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer
The washing powder and additive dispenser drawer
should be cleaned regularly.
If necessary, the whole de-
tergent drawer can be tak-
en out of the machine for
cleaning. You need to pull
it firmly outwards, so that
it comes free of retaining
stop.
To remove the siphon at
the inside edge of the
drawer for cleaning, you
need to press it inwards
and pull it upwards at the
same time. Flush it out
under a tap, to remove any
traces of accumulated
powder.
When you put it back, press it downwards until you hear a
distinct click.
Cleaning the drawer recess
Having removed the draw-
er, use a small brush to
clean the recess, ensuring
that all washing powder
residue is removed from
the upper and lower part of
the recess.
Replace the drawer and run the rinse programme with-
out any clothes in the drum.
Cleaning the water inlet filter
If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime depos-
it, the water inlet filter may become clogged. It is therefore
a good idea to clean it from time to time.
Turn off the water tap. Un-
screw the water inlet hose.
Clean the filter using a
hard bristle brush. Tighten
up the inlet hose.
The dangers of freezing
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C, cer-
tain precautions should be taken.
• Turn off the water supply.
• Unscrew the inlet hose from the supply tap.
• Select a wash programme, start the machine and let the
programme run for a short time.
• Interrupt the programme by turning the programme se-
lector to
position.
• Place the end of inlet and drain hoses down low, into
the waste gully (floor drain) set into the floor. Make
sure that the end of the hose does not go below the wa-
ter level in the gully's (drain's) water tap.
• Select the programme "Drain" and let it run until it is
finished.
•
Turn the programme selector to
position. When
you intend to start the machine up again, make sure
that the room temperature is above 0 °C.

The appliance is only to be used and stored indoors at
normal room temperature. The manufacturer is not re-
sponsible for any frost damage.
What to do if…
Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or
oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out
an engineer. Before contacting your local Service Centre,
please carry out the checks listed below.
During machine operation it is possible that the End pilot
light blinks to indicate that the machine is not working:
• 1 flash: problem with the water supply.
• 2 flashes: problem with the water draining.
• 4 flashes: door open.
Once the problem has been eliminated, press the button
START to restart the programme. If after all checks, the
problem persists, contact your local Service Centre.
Problem Possible cause/Solution
The machine does not start:
The door has not been closed.
• Close the door firmly.
The plug is not properly inserted in the power socket.
• Insert the plug into the power socket.
There is no power at the socket.
• Please check your domestic electrical installation.
The main fuse has blown.
• Replace the fuse.
The selector dial is not correctly positioned and the button Start has not been
pressed.
• Please turn the selector dial and press the button Start again.
The machine does not fill:
The water tap is closed.
• Open the water tap.
The inlet hose is squashed or kinked.
• Check the inlet hose connection.
The filter in the inlet hose is blocked.
• Clean the water inlet hose filter.
The door is not properly closed.
• Close the door firmly.
The machine fills then empties im-
mediately:
The end of the drain hose is too low.
• Refer to relevant paragraph in «Installation» chapter.
The machine does not empty and/or
does not spin:
The drain hose is squashed or kinked.
• Check the drain hose connection.
An option or a programme that ends with the water still in the tub or that elimi-
nates all the spinning phases has been selected.
• Select the draining or spinning programme.
The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.
• Redistribute the laundry.
14
Problem Possible cause/Solution
There is water on the floor:
Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent (creates too much foam) has been
used.
• Reduce the detergent quantity or use another one.
Check whether there are any leaks from one of the inlet hose fittings. It is not
always easy to see this as the water runs down the hose; check to see if it is
damp.
• Check the water inlet hose connection.
The drain or inlet hose is damaged.
• Change it with a new one.
Unsatisfactory washing results:
Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used.
• Increase the detergent quantity or use another one.
Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing.
• Use commercial products to treat the stubborn stains.
The correct temperature was not selected.
• Check if you have selected the correct temperature.
Excessive laundry load.
• Reduce the laundry load.
The door will not open:
The programme is still running.
• Wait the end of washing cycle.
The door lock has not been released.
• Wait until the indicator light for door locked has gone out.
There is water in the drum.
• Select drain or spin programme to empty out the water.
The machine vibrates is noisy:
The transit bolts and packing have not been removed.
• Check the correct installation of the appliance.
The support feet have not been adjusted
• Check the correct levelling of the appliance.
The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.
• Redistribute the laundry.
Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.
• Load more laundry.
Spinning starts late or the machine
does not spin:
The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the laundry is
not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is redistributed by reverse rota-
tion of the drum. This may happen several times before the unbalance disap-
pears and normal spinning can resume. If, after 10 minutes, the laundry is still
not evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will not spin. In this case ,re-
distribute the load manually and select the spin programme.
• Redistribute the laundry.
The load is too small.
• Add more items, redistribute the load manually and then select the spinning
programme.
15
Problem Possible cause/Solution
No water is visible in the drum:
Machines based on modern technology operate very economically using very
little water without affecting performance.
If you are unable to identify or solve the problem, contact
our service centre. Before telephoning, make a note of the
model, serial number and purchase date of your machine:
the Service Centre will require this information.

Installation
Lifting the machine
Be careful when lifting the machine. Incorrect methods of
lifting can cause physical injuries and also increase the
risk of damage to the machine. Open the door and take
hold of the top inside of the door opening. You can also
lift the machine by gripping the rear overhang of the top.
Warning! Never lift the machine by gripping it’s
control panel, door, or detergent dispenser.
Unpacking
When supplied the washing machine is packed using a
number of locking devices/packing pieces to prevent
drum and motor from damage in transit All transit bolts
and packing must be removed before using the appliance.
You are advised to keep all transit devices so that they can
be refitted if the machine ever has to be transported again.
Spread some of the poly-
styrene packaging materi-
als on the floor behind the
machine and then lay the
machine carefully rear
side down on them. Make
sure that no hoses are
crushed in the process.
Remove the polystyrene
base from the bottom of
the appliance.
17
Return machine to it's upright position and remove the
power supply cable and the draining and inlet hose
from the hose holders on the rear of the appliance.
With a suitable spanner unscrew and remove the three
screws and their spacers on machine's rear.
The three holes must then
be plugged with the plastic
plug caps supplied in the
bag containing the in-
struction booklet, which
can be found inside the
drum.
Positioning
Install the machine on a flat hard floor. Make sure that air
circulation around the machine is not impeded by carpets,
rugs etc. Check that the machine does not touch the wall
or furniture. Level the washing machine by raising or low-
ering the two front feet. If necessary, check the setting with
a spirit level. Any necessary adjustment can be made with
a spanner. Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and
displacement of the machine during operation.
Caution! Never place cardboard, wood or similar
materials under the machine to compensate for any
unevenness in the floor.
Water inlet
Warning! This appliance must be connected to a
cold water supply
Caution! Before connecting up the appliance to new
pipework or to pipework that has not been used for
some time, run off a reasonable amount of water to flush
out any debris that may have collected
Caution! Do not use the hose from your previous
appliance to connect to water supply.
Connect the hose to a tap
with a 3/4” thread. Always
use the hose supplied with
the appliance.
If necessary use the sup-
plied restrictor.
The machine end of the in-
let hose can be turned in
any direction. Set the hose
correctly by loosening the
ring nut. After positioning
the inlet hose, be sure to
tighten the ring nut again
to prevent leaks.
The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too short
and you do not wish to move the tap, you will have to pur-
18
chase a new, longer hose specially designed for this type
of use.
Water drainage
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:
Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plastic hose
guide supplied with the machine.
In this case, make sure the end cannot come unhooked
when the machine is emptying. This could be done by ty-
ing it to the tap with a piece of string or attaching it to the
wall.
In a sink drain pipe with a trap.
650-800 mm
The drain hose can be connected directly into the pipe
(e.g. beneath a washtub or sink), above the water trap. The
drain hose must be arranged so that some part of it’s
length is routed up to a level corresponding to the top
edge of the tub and fixed in place there.
Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less than 65
cm and not more than 80 cm.
Their must be an air gap around and below the end of
drain hose. This means that the internal diameter of the
standpipe must be larger than the outer diameter of the
hose.
650-800 mm
40 mm
The hose must not be sticked into the standpipe more
than 50 mm and it has to be fixed in this position. The
drain hose must not be kinked.
The drain hose can be extended up to total 3,5 m. For the
extension piece use a hose with an internal diameter at
least as large as that of the machine's own hose. Use a
suitable hose connector.
Information on the electrical connection is given on the
rating plate on the inner edge of the appliance door.
Check that your domestic electrical installation can take
the maximum load required, also taking into account any
other appliances in use.
Caution! Connect the machine to an earthed socket.
Caution! The manufacturer does not accept any
responsibility for damage or injury through failure
to comply with the above safety precaution.
Caution! The power supply cable must be easily
accessible after installing the machine.
Caution! Should the appliance power supply cable
need to be replaced, this must be carried out by a
Service Centre.

Ecological hints
To save water, energy and to help protect the environment,
we recommend that you follow these tips:
• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without pre-
washing in order to save detergent, water and time (the
environment is protected too!).
• The machine works more economically if it is fully loa-
ded.
• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling
can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a
lower temperature.
• Measure out detergent according to the water hard-
ness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of laundry
being washed.
