! 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 familiarise himself/
herself with its operation and features.
! Read these instructions carefully: they contain
vital information 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. Remov e t h e 4
protective screws (used
during transportation)
and the rubber washer
with the corresponding
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 another 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
p e r f e c t l y l e v e l ,
c o m p e n s a t e f o r
any unevenness by
tightening or loosening
the adjustable 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
connection, allow the
water to run freely until
it is perfectly clear.
2 . C o n n e c t t h e
inlet hose to the
washing machine by
screwing it onto the
corresponding water
inlet of the appliance,
which is situated 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.

GB
Connecting the drain hose
Connect the drain
hose, without bending
it, to a drainage duct or
a wall drain located at a
height between 65 and
100 cm from the floor;
alternatively, rest it on
the side of a washbasin
or bathtub, fastening
the duct supplied to
the tap (see figure).
The free end of the
hose should not be
underwater.
! We advise against the use of hose extensions;
if it is absolutely necessary, the extension must
have the same diameter as the original hose and
must not exceed 150 cm in length.
Electrical connections
Before plugging the appliance into the electricity
socket, make sure that:
•the socketisearthed and complies with all
applicable laws;
•thesocketisabletowithstandthemaximum
power load of the appliance as indicated in the
Technical data table (see opposite);
•thepowersupplyvoltagefallswithinthevalues
indicated in the Technical data table (see
opposite);
•the socket is compatible with the plug of
the washing machine. If this is not the case,
replace the socket or the plug.
! The washing machine must not be installed
outdoors, even in covered areas. It is extremely
dangerous to leave the appliance exposed to
rain, storms and other weather conditions.
! When the washing machine has been installed,
the electricity socket must be within easy reach.
! Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.
! The cable should not be bent or compressed.
! The power supply cable must only be replaced
by authorised technicians.
Warning! The company shall not be held responsible
in the event that these regulations are not respected.
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, using the wash
cycle “Auto Clean” (see “Cleaning the washing
machine”).

Care and maintenance
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 protective
pre-chamber at the base of the pump.
! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and
unplug the appliance.
To access the pre-chamber:
1. Take off the cover
panel on the front
of the machine by
first pressing it in
the centre and then
pushing downwards
on both sides until
you can remove it
(see figures).
2. Unscrew the lid
by rotating 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.
Cutting off the water and electricity
supplies
•Turnoffthewatertapaftereverywashcycle.
This will limit wear on the hydraulic system inside
the washing machine and help to prevent leaks.
•Unplugthewashingmachinewhencleaningit
and during all maintenance work.
Cleaning the washing machine
•Theouterpartsandrubbercomponents
of the appliance can be cleaned using a soft
cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not
use solvents or abrasives.
•Thewashingmachinehasa“AutoClean”

For maximum performance you may want
to use either the detergent (i.e. a quantity
10% the quantity specified for lightly-soiled
garments) or special additives to clean the
washing machine. We recommend running a
cleaning programme every 40 wash cycles.
To start the programme press buttons A and
B simultaneously for 5 seconds (see figure).
The programme will start automatically and
will last approximately 70 minutes. To stop the
cycle press the START/PAUSE button.

Push & Wash
This function allows for starting a wash cycle even when the machine is switched off without having to press the ON/OFF
button in advance, or after switching on the machine, without having activated any button and/or selector (otherwise, the
Push & Wash function will be deactivated). To start the Push & Wash cycle press and hold the relative button for 2 seconds.
The lit indicator light indicates that the cycle has started. This wash cycle is ideal for cotton or synthetic fabrics, as it washes
at a temperature of 30° and a maximum spin speed of 1000 rpm. Maximum load 3.5 kg. (Cycle duration 45’).
How does it work?
1. Load the laundry (cotton and/or synthetic garments) and close the door.
2. Pour the detergent and additives.
3. Start the programme by pressing and holding the Push & Wash button for 2 seconds. The relative indicator light turns
green and the door will lock (the DOOR LOCKED symbol turns on).
N.B.: starting the wash cycle through the Push & Wash button activates an automatic non-customisable cycle
recommended for cotton and synthetic fabrics. This programme does not allow for setting any additional options.
To open the door while an automatic cycle is under way, press the START/PAUSE button; if the DOOR LOCKED symbol
is switched off the door may be opened. Press the START/PAUSE button again to restart the wash cycle from the point at
which it was interrupted.
4. Once the programme is finished, the END indicator light turns on.

Detergents and laundry
Detergent dispenser drawer
Successful washing results also depend on the correct dose
of detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessarily
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 dispenser
drawer and pour in the
detergent or washing additive,
as follows.
Compartment 1: Do not pour detergent into the middle
compartment 1.
Compartment 2: Washing detergent (powder or liquid)
If liquid detergent is used, it is recommended that the
removable plastic partition A (supplied) be used for proper
dosage. If powder detergent is used, place the partition into
slot B.
Compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
The fabric softener must not exceed the “max” level indicated
on the central pin.
Preparing the laundry
• Dividethelaundryaccordingto:
- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label
- the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.
• Emptyallgarmentpocketsandcheckthebuttons.
• Do not exceed thevalues listed in the “Table of wash
cycles”, which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry.
How much does your laundry weigh?
1 sheet 400-500 g
1 pillow case 150-200 g
1 tablecloth 400-500 g
1 bathrobe 900-1.200 g
1 towel 150-250 g
Special wash cycles
Daily cotton: a 30°C cycle for cotton garments. It allows
for reducing consumption of energy for heating the water,
while guaranteeing excellent results. Suitable for lightly soiled
garments.
Daily synthetics: a 30°C cycle for synthetic garments. It
allows for reducing consumption of energy for heating the
water, while guaranteeing excellent results. Suitable for lightly
soiled garments.
Coloureds: a 30°C cycle that helps to preserve the colours;
suitable for coloured cotton and synthetic garments. It allows
for reducing consumption of energy for heating the water,
while guaranteeing excellent results. Suitable for lightly soiled
garments.
Delicates: use programme 4 to wash very delicate
garments. It is advisable to turn the garments inside out
before washing them. For best results, use liquid detergent
on delicate garments.
Mixed: a 40°C cycle for washing cotton and synthetic
garments together. Suitable for lightly soiled underwear.
Rapid (programme 11) allows for varying the garment
treatment duration from 20’ to 60’.
- 20’: the wash cycle that refreshes your garments in a mere
20 minutes.
- 45’: a short cycle designed for washing cotton/synthetic
blend fabrics.
- 60’: The “60’” cycle is designed to wash moderately soiled
resistant cotton garments at 60° in an hour, with good
washing performance. For synthetic or mixed garments, we
recommend lowering the temperature down to 40°.
Duvet: to wash single duvets (the weight of which should
not exceed 2 kg), cushions or clothes padded with goose
down such as puffa jackets, use the special wash programme
number 12. We recommend that duvets are placed in the drum
with their edges folded inwards (see figure) and that no more
than ¾ of the total volume of the drum is used. To achieve the
best results, we recommend that a liquid detergent is used
and placed inside the detergent dispenser drawer.
Wool - Woolmark Apparel Care - Blue:
the wool wash cycle of this machine has been approved by
The Woolmark Company for the washing of wool garments
labelled as “hand wash” provided that the products are
washed according to the instructions on the garment label
and those issued by the manufacturer of this washing
machine. (M1126)
In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade mark
is a Certification trade mark.
Anti odour: use programme 14 (Synthetics) for washing
garments with bad odours (e.g. smoke, sweat, fried food).
The programme is designed to remove bad odours while
preserving the fabric fibres.

Load balancing system
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations
before every spin 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.

IT
! È importante conservare questo libretto per
poterlo consultare in ogni momento. In caso di
vendita, di cessione o di trasloco, assicurarsi
che resti insieme alla lavabiancheria per infor-
mare il nuovo proprietario sul funzionamento e
sui relativi avvertimenti.
! Leggere attentamente le istruzioni: ci sono
importanti informazioni sull’installazione,
sull’uso
e sulla sicurezza.
Disimballo e livellamento
Disimballo
1. Disimballare la lavabiancheria.
2. Controllare che la lavabiancheria non abbia
subìto danni nel trasporto. Se fosse danneggia-
ta non collegarla e contattare il rivenditore.
3. Rimuovere le 4 viti
di protezione per il
trasporto e il gommino
con il relativo distan-
ziale, posti nella parte
posteriore (vedi figura).
4. Chiudere i fori con i tappi di plastica in dota-
zione.
5. Conservare tutti i pezzi: qualora la lavabian-
cheria debba essere trasportata, dovranno
essere
rimontati.
! Gli imballaggi non sono giocattoli per bambini.
Livellamento
1. Installare la lavabiancheria su un pavimento
piano e rigido, senza appoggiarla a muri, mobili
o altro.
2. Se il pavimento non
fosse perfettamente
orizzontale, compen-
sare le irregolarità
svitando o avvitando
i piedini anteriori (vedi
figura); l’angolo di
inclinazione, misurato
sul piano di lavoro, non
deve superare i 2°.
Un accurato livellamento dà stabilità alla
macchina ed evita vibrazioni, rumori e spo-
stamenti durante il funzionamento. In caso di
moquette o di un tappeto, regolare i piedini in
modo da conservare sotto la lavabiancheria
uno spazio sufficiente per la ventilazione.
Collegamenti idraulici ed elettrici
Collegamento del tubo di
alimentazione dell’acqua
1. Collegare il tubo
di alimentazione av-
vitandolo a un rubi-
netto d’acqua fredda
con bocca filettata
da 3/4 gas (vedi
figura).
Prima di allacciare,
far scorrere l’acqua
finché non sia limpi-
da.
2. Collegare il tubo
di alimentazione alla
lavabiancheria
avvitandolo all’appo-
sita presa d’acqua,
nella parte posteriore
in alto a destra (vedi
figura).
3. Fare attenzione che nel tubo non ci siano
né pieghe né strozzature.
! La pressione idrica del rubinetto deve esse-
re compresa nei valori della tabella Dati tecni-
ci (vedi pagina a fianco).
! Se la lunghezza del tubo di alimentazione
non fosse sufficiente, rivolgersi a un negozio
specializzato o a un tecnico autorizzato.
! Non utilizzare mai tubi già usati.
! Utilizzare quelli in dotazione alla macchina.
Installazione

IT
Collegamento del tubo di scarico
Collegare il tubo di
scarico, senza pie-
garlo, a una condut-
tura di scarico o a
uno scarico a muro
posti tra 65 e 100
cm da terra;
oppure appoggiarlo
al bordo di un lavan-
dino o di una vasca,
legando la guida in
dotazione al
rubinetto (vedi figu-
ra). L’estremità libera
del tubo di scarico
non deve rimanere
immersa nell’acqua.
! È sconsigliato usare tubi di prolunga; se in-
dispensabile, la prolunga deve avere lo stes-
so diametro del tubo originale e non superare
i 150 cm.
Collegamento elettrico
Prima di inserire la spina nella presa della
corrente, accertarsi che:
• la presa abbia la messa a terra e sia a nor-
ma di legge;
• la presa sia in grado di sopportare il carico
massimo di potenza della macchina, indi-
cato nella tabella Dati tecnici (vedi a fianco);
• la tensione di alimentazione sia compresa nei
valori indicati nella tabella Dati tecnici (vedi a
fianco);
• la presa sia compatibile con la spina della
lavabiancheria. In caso contrario sostituire
la presa o la spina.
! La lavabiancheria non va installata all’aperto,
nemmeno se lo spazio è riparato, perché è
molto pericoloso lasciarla esposta a pioggia e
temporali.
! A lavabiancheria installata, la presa della
corrente deve essere facilmente raggiungibile.
! Non usare prolunghe e multiple.
! Il cavo non deve subire piegature o com-
pressioni.
! Il cavo di alimentazione deve essere sostitu-
ito solo da tecnici autorizzati.
Attenzione! L’azienda declina ogni responsabi-
lità qualora queste norme non vengano rispet-
tate.
Primo ciclo di lavaggio
Dopo l’installazione, prima dell’uso, effettuare
un ciclo di lavaggio con detersivo e senza bian-
cheria impostando il programma “Auto Pulizia”
(vedi “Pulire la lavabiancheria”).

Pulire la pompa
La lavabiancheria è dotata di una pompa
autopulente che non ha bisogno di manuten-
zione. Può però succedere che piccoli oggetti
(monete, bottoni) cadano nella precamera che
protegge la pompa, situata nella parte inferiore
di essa.
! Assicurarsi che il ciclo di lavaggio sia terminato
e staccare la spina.
Per accedere alla precamera:
1. rimuovere il pan-
nello di copertura sul
lato anteriore della
macchina premendo
verso il centro, quin-
di spingere verso il
basso da entrambe
i lati ed estrarlo (vedi
figure).
2. svitare il coperchio
ruotandolo in senso
antiorario (vedi figura):
è normale che fuorie-
sca un po’ d’acqua;
3. pulire accuratamente l’interno;
4. riavvitare il coperchio;
5. rimontare il pannello assicurandosi, prima di
spingerlo verso la macchina, di aver inserito i
ganci nelle apposite asole.
Controllare il tubo di alimentazio-
ne dell’acqua
Controllare il tubo di alimentazione almeno
una volta all’anno. Se presenta screpolature e
fessure va sostituito: durante i lavaggi le forti
pressioni potrebbero provocare improvvise
spaccature.
! Non utilizzare mai tubi già usati.
Manutenzione e cura
Escludere acqua e corrente elettrica
• Chiudere il rubinetto dell’acqua dopo ogni lavaggio.
Si limita così l’usura dell’impianto idraulico della
lavabiancheria e si elimina il pericolo di perdite.
•Staccare la spina della corrente quando si
pulisce la lavabiancheria e durante i lavori di
manutenzione.
Pulire la lavabiancheria
• La parte esterna e le parti in gomma possono
essere puliti con un panno imbevuto di acqua
tiepida e sapone. Non usare solventi o abrasivi.
• La lavabiancheria è dotata di un programma
di “Auto Pulizia” delle parti interne che deve
essere effettuato senza alcun tipo di carico
nel cesto.
Il detersivo (nella quantità pari al 10% di quella
consigliata per capi poco sporchi) o additi-
vi specifici per la pulizia della lavabiancheria,
potranno essere utilizzati come coadiuvanti nel
programma di lavaggio. Si consiglia di effettuare
il programma di pulizia ogni 40 cicli di lavaggio.
Per attivare il programma premere contempora-
neamente i tasti A e B per 5 sec. (vedi figura).
Il programma partirà automaticamente ed avrà
una durata di circa 70 minuti. Per fermare il ciclo
premere il tasto START/PAUSE.
Pulire il cassetto dei detersivi
Per estrarre il cassetto
premere la leva (1) e tirarlo
verso l’esterno (2) (vedi
figura).
Lavarlo sotto l’acqua
corrente; questa pulizia
va effettuata
frequentemente.
Curare oblò e cestello
• Lasciare sempre socchiuso l’oblò per evitare
che si formino cattivi odori.

Apertura manuale della porta oblò
Nel caso non sia possibile aprire la porta oblò a causa della
mancanza di energia elettrica e volete stendere il bucato,
procedere come segue:
1. togliere la spina dalla presa
di corrente.
2. verificate che il livello
dell’acqua all’interno della
macchina sia inferiore rispetto
all’apertura dell’oblò; in caso
contrario togliere l’acqua in
eccedenza attraverso il tubo
di scarico raccogliendola in
un secchio come indicato in
figura.
3. rimuovere il pannello di
copertura sul lato anteriore
della lavabiancheria (vedi
figura).
4. utilizzando la linguetta indicata in figura tirare verso
l’esterno fino a liberare il tirante in plastica dal fermo; tirarlo
successivamente verso il basso e contemporaneamente
aprire la porta.
5. rimontare il pannello assicurandosi, prima di spingerlo
verso la macchina, di aver inserito i ganci nelle apposite asole.
Precauzioni e consigli
! La lavabiancheria è stata progettata e costruita in
conformità alle norme internazionali di sicurezza. Queste
avvertenze sono fornite per ragioni di sicurezza e devono
essere lette attentamente.
Sicurezza generale
• Questo apparecchio è stato concepito esclusivamente
per un uso di tipo domestico.
•Questo apparecchio può essere usato da
bambini da 8 anni in su e da persone con
capacità fisiche, sensoriali o mentali ridotte
o con esperienza e conoscenze insufficienti
se sono supervisionati o se hanno ricevu-
to adeguata formazione in merito all’uso
dell’apparecchio in modo sicuro e capendo
i pericoli connessi. I bambini non devono
giocare con l’apparecchio. Manutenzione
e pulizia non devono essere effettuati dai
bambini senza supervisione.
• Non toccare la macchina a piedi nudi o con le mani o i
piedi bagnati o umidi.
• Non staccare la spina dalla presa della corrente tirando
il cavo, bensì afferrando la spina.
• Non aprire il cassetto dei detersivi mentre la macchina
è in funzione.
• Non toccare l’acqua di scarico, che può raggiungere
temperature elevate.
• Non forzare in nessun caso l’oblò: potrebbe danneg-
giarsi il meccanismo di sicurezza che protegge da
aperture accidentali.
• In caso di guasto, in nessun caso accedere ai mecca-
nismi interni per tentare una riparazione.
• Controllare sempre che i bambini non si avvicinino alla
macchina in funzione.
• Durante il lavaggio l’oblò tende a scaldarsi.
• Se dev’essere spostata, lavorare in due o tre persone
con la massima attenzione. Mai da soli perché la mac-
china è molto pesante.
• Prima di introdurre la biancheria controlla che il cestello
sia vuoto.
Smaltimento
•Smaltimento del materiale di imballaggio:
attenersi alle norme locali, così gli imballaggi potranno
essere riutilizzati.
• La direttiva Europea 2012/19/EU (WEEE) sui rifiuti di
apparecchia¬ture elettriche ed elettroniche (RAEE),
prevede che gli elettrodo¬mestici non debbano essere
smaltiti nel normale flusso dei rifiuti solidi urbani. Gli
apparecchi dismessi devono essere raccolti separata-
mente per ottimizzare il tasso di recupero e riciclaggio
dei materiali che li compongono ed impedire potenziali
danni per la salute e l’ambiente. Il simbolo del cestino
barrato è riportato su tutti i prodotti per ricordare gli
obblighi di raccolta separata. Quando si acquista una
nuova apparecchiatura equivalente si può consegnare
il RAEE al negoziante, che è tenuto a ritirarlo gratuita-
mente; i RAEE di “piccolissime dimensioni” (nessun lato
20
1
2
3
sopra i 25 cm) possono essere consegnati gratuitamen-
te ai negozianti anche se non si acquista nulla (solo nei
negozi con superficie di vendita superiore a 400 mq). Per
ulteriori informazioni sulla corretta dismissione degli elettro-
domestici i detentori potranno rivolgersi al servizio pubblico
preposto o ai rivenditori.
