Installation

! 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 familiari-

se himself/herself with its operation and features.

! Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital infor-

mation 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. Remove the 4 protective

screws (used during tran-

sportation) and the rubber

washer with the correspon-

ding 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 ano-

ther 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 perfectly

level, compensate for any

unevenness by tightening

or loosening the adjusta-

ble 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 con-

nection, allow the water to

run freely until it is perfectly

clear.

2. Connect the inlet hose

to the washing machine by

screwing it onto the corre-

sponding water inlet of the

appliance, which is situa-

ted 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 page 5).

! 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.

65 - 100 cm

Connecting the drain hose

Connect the drain hose,

without bending it, to a drai-

nage 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.

Electric connection

Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket, make

sure that:

• the socket is earthed and in compliance with the appli-

cable law;

• the socket is able to sustain the appliance’s maximum

power load indicated on the Technical Data Plate fixed

plug.

Your appliance is now supplied with a 13 amp fused plug

it can be plugged into a 13 amp socket for immediate use.

Before using the appliance please read the instructions

below.

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD BE CARRIED

OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

Replacing the fuse:

When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA approved

fuse to BS 1362 should always be used, and the fuse

cover re-fitted. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not

be used until a replacement is obtained.

Replacement fuse covers:

If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of the

correct colour as indicated by the coloured marking or the

colour that is embossed in words on the base of the plug.

Replacements can be obtained directly from your nearest

Service Depot.

Removing the plug:

If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug and

you should wish to re-route the mains cable through parti-

tions, units etc., please ensure that either:

the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere rewireable plug

bearing the BSI mark of approval.

or:

the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp cable out-

let, controlled by a switch, (in compliance with BS 5733)

which is accessible without moving the appliance.

Disposing of the plug:

Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself, you make

the pins unusable so that it cannot be accidentally inserted

into a socket.

Wash cycles

Table of wash cycles

Anti Stain: the programme 1 is suitable to heavily-soiled garments with resistant colours. It ensures a washing class that is

higher than the standard class (A class). When running the programme, do not mix garments of different colours. We recom-

mend the use of powder detergent. Pre-treatment with special additives is recommended if there are obstinate stains.

Whites: use this cycle 2 to wash white clothes. The programme is designed to maintain the brightness of white clothes over

time. Use powder detergent for best results.

Anti allergy: use programme 7 to remove major allergens such as pollen, mites, cat’s and dog’s hair.

Baby: use the special wash cycle 8 to remove the remove the soiling typically caused by babies, while removing all traces

of detergent from nappies in order to prevent the delicate skin of babies from suffering allergic reactions. The cycle has been

designed to reduce the amount of bacteria by using a greater quantity of water and optimising the effect of special disinfec-

ting additives added to the detergent.

Eco cycles

The Eco Cycles assure energy saving by eliminating the need of heating water and it’s an advantage both to your

energy bill and the environment! These innovative Eco programmes (Cottons, Synthetics and Fast Wash) are available

for various fabrics and different quantity of garment; they have been designed to guarantee a high cleaning action even

at low temperature and can be used for lightly to medium soiled loads. Eco Cycles give the best results thanks to an

intensified wash action, water optimization and are carried out in the same average time of a standard cycle.

For the best washing results with Eco Cycles we recommend the usage of a liquid detergent.

The length of cycle shown on the display or in this booklet is an estimation only and is calculated assuming standard working conditions. The actual duration can vary accor-

ding to factors such as water temperature and pressure, the amount of detergent used, the amount and type of load inserted, load balancing and any wash options selected.

The spin speed may be lowered, or the spin cycle can be excluded altogether by selecting the symbol .

The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a spin speed which is higher than the maximum speed

set for each wash cycle.

Functions

The various wash functions available with this washing machine will help to achieve the desired results, every time.

To activate the functions:

1. Press the button corresponding to the desired function;

2. the function is enabled when the corresponding indicator light is illuminated.

Note:

- If the selected function is not compatible with the programmed wash cycle, the corresponding indicator light will flash and

a sound alert (3 beeps); the function will not be activated.

- If a function which is incompatible with another function selected previously, only the most recent selection will remain

active.

Super Wash

This option offers a high-performance wash due to the greater quantity of water used in the initial phase of the cycle, and due

to the increased wash cycle duration, is particularly useful for the removal of stubborn stains. It can be used with or without

bleach. If you desire bleaching, insert the extra tray compartment (4) into compartment 1. When pouring in the bleach, be

careful not to exceed the “max” level marked on the central pivot (see figure pag. 10).

Easy iron

By selecting this function, the wash and spin cycles will be modified in order to reduce the formation of creases. At the end

of the cycle the washing machine will perform slow rotations of the drum; the EASY IRON and START/PAUSE indicator lights

will flash (orange) and the phase will remain lit in a fixed manner. To end the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button or the

EASY IRON button.

Time Saver

If you select this option, the wash cycle duration will be reduced by up to 50%, depending on the selected cycle, thereby gua-

ranteeing simultaneous water and energy saving. Use this cycle for lightly soiled garments.

Delay timer

This timer delays the start time of the wash cycle by up to 12 hours.

Press the button repeatedly until the indicator light corresponding to the desired delay time switches on. The fifth time the button

is pressed, the function will be disabled.

N.B. Once you have pressed the START/PAUSE button, the delay time may only be decreased if you wish to modify it.

Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser drawer

Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of

detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessa-

rily result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause

build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to

environmental pollution.

! 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.

! Do not use hand washing detergents because these

create too much foam.

Open the detergent di-

spenser drawer and pour

in the detergent or washing

additive, as follows.

compartment 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder)

Before pouring in the detergent, make sure that extra com-

partment 4 has been removed.

compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle

(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 should not overflow the grid.

extra compartment 4: Bleach

Preparing the laundry

• Divide the laundry according to:

- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label

- the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.

• Empty all garment pockets and check the buttons.

• Do not exceed the values 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 900-1200 g

Garments requiring special care

Wool: The wool wash cycle on this Ariston machine has

been tested and approved by The Woolmark Company

for washing wool garments labelled as hand washable

provided that the garments are washed according to the

instructions on the garment label and those issued by the

manufacturer of this washing machine. Ariston is the first

washing machine brand to be approved by The Woolmark

Company for Apparel Care- Platinum for its washing per-

formance and consumption of energy and water. (M1126)

In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade

mark is a Certification trade mark.

Delicates: use programme 10 to wash very delicate gar-

ments having strasses or sequins.

We recommend turning the garments inside out before

washing and placing small items into the special bag for

washing delicates.

Use liquid detergent on delicate garments for best results.

To wash silk garments and curtains select cycle 10

and then function ; the machine will end the cycle

while the laundry is soaking and the indicator light

will flash. To drain the water so that the laundry may be

removed, press the START/PAUSE button or the

button.

Load balancing system

Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations 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.

Precautions and tips

! This washing machine was designed and constructed in

accordance with international safety regulations. The fol-

lowing information is provided for safety reasons and must

therefore be read carefully.

General safety

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (inclu-

ding children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental

capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless

they have been given supervision or instruction concer-

ning use of the appliance by a person responsible for

their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that

they do not play with the appliance.

• This appliance was designed for domestic use only.

• Do not touch the machine when barefoot or with wet or

damp hands or feet.

• Do not pull on the power supply cable when unplugging

the appliance from the electricity socket. Hold the plug

and pull.

• Do not open the detergent dispenser drawer while the

machine is in operation.

• Do not touch the drained water as it may reach extreme-

ly high temperatures.

• Never force the porthole door. This could damage the

safety lock mechanism designed to prevent accidental

opening.

• If the appliance breaks down, do not under any circum-

stances access the internal mechanisms in an attempt

to repair it yourself.

• Always keep children well away from the appliance while

it is operating.

• The door can become quite hot during the wash cycle.

• If the appliance has to be moved, work in a group 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 laundry into the washing machine, make

sure the drum is empty.

Disposal

• Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local

regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.

• The European Directive 2012/19/EU - WEEE on Waste

Electrical and Electronic Equipment, 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. 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 col-

lected.

Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer

for information concerning the correct disposal of their

old appliance.

GB

Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water and electricity

supplies

• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle. This will limit

wear on the hydraulic system inside the washing machine

and help to prevent leaks.

• Unplug the washing machine when cleaning it and du-

ring all maintenance work.

Cleaning the washing machine

• The outer parts and rubber components of the applian-

ce can be cleaned using a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm

soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.

• The washing machine has a “Auto Clean” programme

for its internal parts that must be run with no load in the

drum.

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 simultaneou-

sly for 5 seconds (see figure).

The programme will start automatically and will last approxi-

mately 70 minutes. To stop the cycle press the START/PAU-

SE button. To stop the cycle press the START/PAUSE button.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer

Remove the dispenser by

raising it and pulling it out

(see figure).

Wash it under running wa-

ter; this operation should be

repeated frequently.

Caring for the door and drum of your

appliance

• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent

unpleasant odours from forming.

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 pre-cham-

ber which protects the pump, situated in its bottom part.

! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug the

appliance.

To access the pre-chamber:

1. using a screwdriver,

remove the cover panel

on the lower front part of

the washing machine (see

figure);

2. unscrew the lid by rota-

ting 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.

• The pressure is too low.

• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.

• The drain hose is not fitted at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor

(see “Installation”).

• The free end of the hose is under water (see “Installation”).

• The wall drainage system is not fitted with a breather pipe.

If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water tap, switch

the appliance off and contact the Assistance Service. If the dwelling is on one of

the upper floors of a building, there may be problems relating to water drainage,

causing the washing machine to fill with water and drain continuously. Special

anti-draining valves are available in shops and help to avoid this inconvenience.

• The wash cycle does not include draining: some wash cycles require the drain

phase to be started manually.

• The EASY IRON function has been activated: To complete the wash cycle,

press the START/PAUSE button (“Personalisation”).

• The drain hose is bent (see “Installation”).

• The drainage duct is clogged.

• The drum was not unlocked correctly during installation (see “Installation”).

• The washing machine is not level (see “Installation”).

• The washing machine is trapped between cabinets and walls (see “Installation”).

• The water inlet hose is not screwed on properly (see “Installation”).

• The detergent dispenser drawer is blocked (for cleaning instructions, see

“Care and maintenance”).

• The drain hose is not fixed properly (see “Installation”).

• Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1 minute and

then switch it back on again.

If the problem persists, contact the Technical Assistance Service.

• The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should display the text

“for washing machines” or “hand and machine wash”, or the like).

• Too much detergent was used.

FR

Installation

! Conserver ce mode d’emploi pour pouvoir le consulter à

tout moment. En cas de vente, de cession ou de déména-

gement, veiller à ce qu’il suive toujours le lave-linge pour

que son nouveau propriétaire soit informé sur son mode

de fonctionnement et puisse profiter des conseils corre-

spondants.

! Lire attentivement les instructions: elles fournissent des

conseils importants sur l’installation, l’utilisation et la sécu-

rité de l’appareil.

Déballage et mise à niveau

Déballage

1. Déballer le lave-linge.

2. Contrôler que le lave-linge n’a pas été endommagé

pendant le transport. S’il est abîmé, ne pas le raccorder et

contacter le vendeur.

3. Enlever les 4 vis de

protection servant au tran-

sport, le caoutchouc et la

cale, placés dans la partie

arrière (voir figure).

4. Boucher les trous à l’aide des bouchons plastique

fournis.

5. Conserver toutes ces pièces: il faudra les remonter en

cas de transport du lave-linge.

! Les pièces d’emballage ne sont pas des jouets pour

enfants.

Mise à niveau

1. Installer le lave-linge sur un sol plat et rigide, sans l’ap-

puyer contre des murs, des meubles ou autre.

2. Si le sol n’est pas par-

faitement horizontal, visser

ou dévisser les pieds de

réglage avant (voir figure)

pour niveler l’appareil; son

angle d’inclinaison, mesuré

sur le plan de travail, ne doit

pas dépasser 2°.

Une bonne mise à niveau garantit la stabilité de l’appareil

et évite qu’il y ait des vibrations, du bruit et des dépla-

cements en cours de fonctionnement. Si la machine est

posée sur de la moquette ou un tapis, régler les pieds de

manière à ce qu’il y ait suffisamment d’espace pour assu-

rer une bonne ventilation.

Raccordements eau et électricité

Raccordement du tuyau d’arrivée de l’eau

1. Relier le tuyau d’alimen-

tation en le vissant à un ro-

binet d’eau froide à embout

fileté 3/4 gaz (voir figure).

Faire couler l’eau jusqu’à ce

qu’elle soit limpide et sans

impuretés avant de raccor-

der.

2. Raccorder le tuyau

d’arrivée de l’eau au lave-

linge en le vissant à la prise

d’eau prévue, dans la partie

arrière en haut à droite (voir

figure).

3. Attention à ce que le tuyau ne soit pas plié ou écrasé.

! La pression de l’eau doit être comprise entre les valeurs

indiquées dans le tableau des Caractéristiques techniques

(voir page 19).

! Si la longueur du tuyau d’alimentation ne suffit pas,

s’adresser à un magasin spécialisé ou à un technicien

agréé.

! N’utiliser que des tuyaux neufs.

! Utiliser ceux qui sont fournis avec l’appareil.

FR

17

65 - 100 cm

Raccordement du tuyau de vidange

Raccorder le tuyau d’éva-

cuation, sans le plier, à un

conduit d’évacuation ou

à une évacuation murale

placés à une distance du

sol comprise entre 65 et

100 cm;

ou bien l’accrocher à un

évier ou à une baignoi-

re, dans ce cas, fixer le

support en plastique fourni

avec l’appareil au robinet

(voir figure). L’extrémité

libre du tuyau d’évacuation

ne doit pas être plongée

dans l’eau.

! L’utilisation d’un tuyau de rallonge est absolument

déconseillée mais si on ne peut faire autrement, il faut

absolument qu’il ait le même diamètre que le tuyau original

et sa longueur ne doit pas dépasser 150 cm.

Branchement électrique

Avant de brancher votre électroménager à la prise de cou-

rant, contrôlez que:

• la prise est bien avec terre et conforme aux

réglementations applicables en la matière;

• la prise électrique est bien apte à supporter la

puissance maximum de l’électroménager figurant

sur la plaquette des caractéristiques;

• la tension d’alimentation est bien comprise entre

les valeurs figurant sur la plaquette des

caractéristiques;

• la prise est bien compatible avec la fiche du lave-

linge. Autrement, remplacez la prise ou la fiche.

Votre électroménager dispose à présent d’une fiche

moulée 13 ampères qui peut être branchée dans une prise

compatible pour utilisation immédiate. Veuillez lire les

instructions suivantes avant d’utiliser votre électroménager.

ATTENTION - L’ELECTROMENAGER DOIT ETRE RAC-

CORDE A LA MASSE. LES OPERATIONS DECRITES

CI-APRES DOIVENT ETRE EFFECTUEES PAR UN ELEC-

TRICIEN QUALIFIE.

Remplacement du fusible:

En cas de remplacement d’un fusible défectueux, utilisez

toujours des fusibles de 13 ampères ASTA conformes au

standard BS1362 et remontez le couvercle du fusible. Si

vous avez perdu le couvercle du fusible, n’utilisez pas la

fiche tant que la pièce manquante n’aura pas été rempla-

cée.

Couvercles des fusibles:

Si vous remplacez le couvercle du fusible, veillez à ce que

sa couleur soit bien celle qui est indiquée par le code ou

l’indication colorée à la base de la fiche. Pour toute pièce

détachée, adressez-vous directement au centre d’assi-

stance technique le plus proche de chez vous.

Démontage de la fiche:

Si l’électroménager est équipé d’une fiche incorporée qui

ne peut pas être câblée à nouveau et s’il faut faire passer

le câble à travers des divisions, des unités, etc. contrôlez

que:

la fiche est bien remplacée par une autre câblable à nouve-

au de 13 ampères portant la marque BSI

ou bien:

que le câble est bien raccordé directement à la prise de

13 ampères, contrôlée par un interrupteur (conforme BS

5733) accessible sans qu’il faille déplacer l’électroménager.

Elimination de la fiche:

Avant d’éliminer la fiche, rendez les broches inutilisables

de manière à ce que la fiche ne puisse pas être branchée

accidentellement dans une prise.

Instructions pour le raccordement du câble à une fiche

alternative:

Important: les couleurs des fils du câble de réseau corre-

spondent à la codification suivante:

Jaune/Vert Terre

Bleu Neutre

Marron Alimenté

FR

Premier cycle de lavage

Avant la première mise en service de l’appareil, effectuer

un cycle de lavage avec un produit lessiviel mais sans

linge et sélectionner le programme «Auto nettoyage» (voir

“Nettoyage du lave-linge”).

Les couleurs des fils du câble pourraient ne pas cor-

respondre aux indications de couleur qui identifient les

broches de la fiche, procédez comme suit:

raccordez le fil jaune/vert à la borne repérée par la lettre E

ou ou de couleur verte ou jaune/vert

raccordez le fil marron à la borne repérée par la lettre L ou

de couleur rouge

raccordez le fil bleu à la borne repérée par la lettre N ou de

couleur noire.

En cas d’utilisation d’une fiche de 13 ampères (BS 1363),

installez un fusible de 13 ampères dans la fiche ou sur

l’adaptateur ou sur la carte de distribution.

En cas de doute sur l’alimentation électrique de votre élec-

troménager, faites appel à un électricien qualifié avant de le

mettre en service.

Raccordement d’une fiche alternative:

les couleurs des fils du câble de réseau correspondent à la

codification suivante:

BLEU NEUTRE (N)

MARRON ALIMENTE (L)

JAUNE/VERT TERRE (E)

Elimination de l’électroménager:

Lors de la mise au rebus de l’électroménager, débarras-

sez-le de sa fiche en coupant le câble d’alimentation le

plus près possible de cette dernière et éliminez comme

décrit précédemment.

! Votre lave-linge ne doit pas être installé dehors, même

à l’abri, car il est très dangereux de le laisser exposé à la

pluie et aux orages.

! Après installation du lave-linge, la prise de courant doit

être facilement accessible.

! N’utilisez ni rallonges ni prises multiples.

! Le câble ne doit être ni plié ni écrasé.
