INSTALLATION  
Unpacking  
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.  
1. Using a spanner, unscrew and remove the rear  
right-hand bolt and lay the machine on its  
back, taking care not to squash the hoses.  
This can be avoided by placing one of the  
corner packing pieces between the machine  
and the floor.  
P0255  
2. Remove the polystyrene block from the bottom  
of the machine and release the two plastic  
bags by removing the adhesive strip.  
3. Carefully remove the right-hand bag (1) then  
the left-hand bag (2) by pulling them towards  
the centre of the machine.

5. Pull out the three plastic spacers from the  
holes into which the bolts were fitted.  
6. Plug the open holes with the plugs which you  
will find in the plastic bag containing the  
instruction booklet.  
P0020  
P0256  
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 other  
kitchen units.  
Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in  
or out. Never place cardboard, wood or similar  
materials under the machine to compensate for  
any unevenness in the floor.  
P0254  
P0509  
After having levelled the machine, tighten the lock  
nuts.

Water inlet  
Connect the water inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4"  
thread after having inserted the small filter “A”  
supplied with the machine.  
The other end of the inlet hose which connects to  
the machine can be turned in any direction.  
Simply loosen the fitting, rotate the hose and  
retighten the fitting, making sure there are no  
water leaks.  
A
P0003  
P0021  
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 purchase 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 tying it to the tap with a  
piece of string or attaching it to the wall.  
In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must  
be above the trap so that the bend is at least  
60 cm above the ground.  
P0022  
Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less  
than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm.  
The end of the drain hose must always be  
ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain  
pipe must be larger than the outside diameter of  
the drain hose.  
The drain hose must not be kinked. Run it along  
the floor; only the part near the drainage point  
must be raised.  
P0023

Removing stains  
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just  
water and detergent. It is therefore advisable to  
treat them prior to washing.  
Before loading the laundry  
Never wash whites and coloureds together.  
Whites may lose their “whiteness” in the wash.  
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.  
New coloured items may run in the first wash;  
they should therefore be washed separately the  
first time.  
Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain  
remover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab  
the stain; treat several times.  
Make sure that no metal objects are left in  
the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).  
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine,  
lay the garment on a soft surface and dab the  
stain with the fingertips and a cotton cloth.  
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.  
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.  
Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks  
or tie them up in a bag or net.  
Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well  
(whites and fast coloureds only).  
Maximum loads  
Recommended loads are indicated in the  
programme charts.  
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites  
and fast coloureds only).  
General rules:  
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone  
(*), lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the  
stain.  
Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly  
packed;  
Synthetics: drum no more than half full;  
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then  
treat stains with methylated spirits. Remove any  
residual marks from white fabrics with bleach.  
Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more  
than one third full.  
11  
 
Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse  
and treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse.  
Treat any residual marks with bleach.  
Follow the product manufacturer’s  
recommendations on quantities to use and do  
not exceed the «MAX» mark in the detergent  
dispenser drawer.  
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the  
fabric first with acetone (*), then with acetic acid;  
treat any residual marks on white fabrics with  
bleach and then rinse thoroughly.  
Quantity of detergent to be used  
The type and quantity of detergent will depend  
on the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling  
and hardness of the water used.  
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover,  
methylated spirits or benzine, then rub with  
detergent paste.  
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 company, or from your  
local authority.  
(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk  
Detergents and additives  
Good washing results also depend on the  
choice of detergent 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.  
Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions  
on quantities to use.  
Use less detergent if:  
– you are washing a small load  
– the laundry is lightly soiled  
– large amounts of foam form during washing.  
The choice of detergent will depend on the type  
of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the  
colour, washing temperature and degree of  
soiling.

Drying  
All laundry to be dried must be thoroughly  
spun. The higher the spin speed, the lower  
the power consumption and the shorter the  
drying time.  
The detergent and any additives must be placed  
in the appropriate compartments of the  
dispenser drawer before starting the wash  
programme.  
If using concentrated powder or liquid  
detergents, a programme without prewash must  
be selected.  
Scrupulously follow the instructions on each  
garment label, making sure that it is suitable  
for tumble-drying.  
The washing machine incorporates a  
recirculation system which allows an optimal use  
of the concentrated detergent.  
Do not tumble dry the following:  
– wool, silk, synthetic curtains;  
– articles with a plasticised finish, nylon  
tights or stockings, sleeping bags, quilts,  
articles made of foam rubber or containing  
materials similar to foam rubber, fabrics  
with metal inserts;  
Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer  
compartment marked  
the programme.  
just before starting  
Any fabric softener or starching additives must  
be poured into the compartment marked  
before starting the wash programme.  
– fabrics which tend to fray.  
Important: during the drying cycle, the water  
tap must be left open and the drain hose must  
be correctly positioned.

MAINTENANCE  
1. Bodywork  
Clean the outside of the machine with warm  
water and a neutral, non-abrasive household  
detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry with a  
soft cloth.  
Important: do not use methylated spirits,  
solvents or similar products to clean the  
bodywork.  
2. Detergent dispenser drawer  
After a while, detergents and fabric softeners  
leave deposits in the drawer.  
Clean the drawer from time to time by rinsing it  
under a running tap. To remove the drawer from  
the machine, press the button in the rear left-  
hand corner.  
To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the additive  
compartments can be removed.  
P0224S  
P0225S  
Detergent can also accumulate inside the  
drawer recess: clean it with an old toothbrush.  
Refit the drawer after cleaning.  
P0038  
3. Drain filter  
The drain filter collects threads and small  
objects inadvertently left in the laundry. Check  
regularly that the filter is clean.  
Open the filter door.  
Place a container under the filter and unscrew it.  
P0861  
P0860  
Pull out the filter.  
Clean the filter under a running tap, then refit it,  
screwing it fully in.

4. Water inlet filter  
If you notice that the machine is taking longer to  
fill, check that the filter in the water inlet hose is  
not blocked.  
Turn off the water tap.  
Unscrew the hose from the tap and remove the  
filter.  
Clean it with a stiff brush.  
P0041  
Refit the filter and screw the hose back onto the  
tap.  
5. Emergency emptying out  
If the water is not discharged (outlet pump is  
blocked, filter or outlet hose are clogged),  
proceed as follows to empty out the machine:  
pull out the plug from the power socket;  
close the water tap;  
if necessary, wait until the water has cooled  
down;  
place a bowl on the floor;  
put the outlet hose end into the bowl and let  
the water come out.  
Should it not be possible to have access to the  
outlet hose because, for example, the appliance  
is built in the kitchen furniture, slightly loosen the  
outlet filter after placing a bowl on the floor, to let  
the water come out slowly.  
At the end screw the filter again.  
6. Frost precautions  
If the machine is installed in a place where the  
temperature could drop below 0°C, proceed as  
follows:  
Close the water tap and unscrew the water  
inlet hose from the tap.  
Place the end of the outlet hose and that of  
the inlet hose in a bowl placed on the floor.  
Select programme N (drain) and run it until  
the machine stops.  
Remove the plug from the socket.  
Screw the water inlet hose back on and put  
the outlet hose back in its place.  
By doing this, any water remaining in the  
machine is removed, avoiding the formation of  
ice and, consequently, breakage of the affected  
parts.  
When you use the machine again, make sure  
that the ambient temperature is above 0°C.

SOMETHING NOT WORKING?  
Problems which you can resolve yourself  
Problem  
Possible cause  
Check that the door is firmly closed.  
The machine does not start up:  
Check that the machine is plugged in and  
that there is power at the socket.  
Check that the main fuse and the fuse in the  
plug has not blown.  
Check that the programme selector dial is  
positioned correctly and the ON/OFF button  
depressed.  
Check that the water tap is open.  
The machine does not fill:  
Check that water is coming out of the tap.  
Check that the inlet hose is not squashed or  
kinked.  
Check that the filter in the inlet hose is not  
blocked.  
Check that the door is closed.  
Check that the drain hose is not squashed or  
The machine does not empty  
and/or does not spin:  
kinked.  
A programme which stops with water in drum  
has been selected.  
Check that the laundry is evenly distributed in  
the drum.  
Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent  
There is water on the floor:  
(creates too much foam) has been used.  
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 that the drain hose is not damaged.  
Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent  
Unsatisfactory washing results:  
has been used.  
Stubborn stains have not been treated prior  
to washing.  
The correct temperature/programme was not  
selected.  
Excessive laundry load.  
Check that all the transit bolts and packing  
The machine vibrates or is noisy:  
have been removed.  
Check that the machine is not resting against  
anything.  
Check that the support feet are resting firmly  
on the ground and that the lock nuts are  
securely tightened.  
Check that the laundry is evenly distributed in  
the drum.  
Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.

The end of the drain hose is too low. Refer to  
relevant paragraph in “water drainage”  
section.  
The machine fills then empties  
immediately:  
The programme is still running.  
The door will not open:  
The door lock has not been released.  
There is water in the drum.  
The door can be opened when the door  
locked light is off.  
The electronic unbalance detection device  
Spinning starts late or the  
machine does not spin:  
has cut in because the laundry is not evenly  
distributed in the drum. The laundry is  
redistributed by reverse rotation of the drum.  
This may happen several times before the  
unbalance disappears 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,  
redistribute the load manually and reselect  
the spin programme.  
The machine is fitted with a commutator  
motor which makes an unusual noise  
compared with other traditional machines.  
This motor enables a softer start to the spin  
and controls the increase in spin speed  
better. In this way, machine performance is  
improved.  
The machine makes an unusual  
noise:  
The machine, which is the result of modern  
technology, runs in a very economical way  
with low water consumption. Performance is  
nevertheless excellent.  
Water is not visible in the  
machine:  
The drying time has not been selected.  
The tap is closed.  
The machine does not dry or the  
laundry is not dry enough:  
The drain filter is blocked.  
A suitable drying time in the correct sector  
has not been selected.  
The drum is overloaded.  
You have selected option  
before drying.
