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 two

rear bottom screws. Slide out the two plastic pins.

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.

2. Remove the polystyrene block(s) from the bottom of

the machine and release the two plastic bags.

3. Very carefully slide out the left polythene bag,

removing it towards the right and then

downwards.

4. Very carefully slide out the right polythene bag,

removing it towards the left and then upwards.

Remove the bottom cover placed into the drum of

your appliance, lay it’s hook as the arrow ’A’

indicates and push the top of the cover to seal it

closed

Important: You can find more detailed instructions

regarding the bottom cover assembling in it’s relative

bag.

5. Set the machine upright and remove the

remaining rear screw. Slide out the relevant pin.

6. Plug all the holes with the plugs which you will

find in the envelope containing the instruction

manual.

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 cupboard

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.

Water inlet

Connect the water inlet hose to a tap with 3/4” BSP

thread.

Use the hose supplied with the washing machine.

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.

Important!

Before connecting up the machine to new pipe work

or to pipe work that has not been used for some

time, run off a reasonable amount of water to flush

out any debris that may have collected in the pipes.

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.

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.

For a correct functioning of the machine the

drain hose must remain hooked on the proper

support piece situated on the top part of the back

side of the appliance.

P1118

Electrical connection

This machine is designed to operate on a 220-230 V,

single-phase, 50 Hz supply.

Check that your domestic electrical installation can

take the maximum load required (2.05 kW), also

taking into account any other appliances in use.

Connect the machine to an earth socket.

The manufacturer declines any responsibility

for damage or injury through failure to

comply with the above safety precautions.

Should the appliance power supply cable need

to be replaced, this should be carried out

by our service centre.

Please ensure that when the appliance is

installed the power supply cable is easily

accessible.

This new machine meets all modern needs for effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy and

detergent consumption.

• The temperature selector dial will allow you to choose the most suitable temperature for your laundry.

• The automatic cooling of the washing water from 95° to 60°C before draining will prevent old drain pipes

from being deformed and will reduce thermal shock to fabrics, helping to prevent creasing.

• The special wool programme with its new delicate wash system treats your woollens with extreme care.

• The unbalance control device ensures the machine is stable during the spin.

• The ECO valve allows total use of detergent and reduces water consumption so saving energy.

Sorting the laundry

Follow the wash code symbols on each garment

label and the manufacturer’s washing instructions.

Sort the laundry as follows:

whites, coloured, synthetics, delicate, woollens.

Before loading the laundry

Never wash whites and coloured 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).

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

programme 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:

bathrobe 1200 g

napkin 100 g

quilt cover 700 g

sheet 500 g

pillow case 200 g

tablecloth 250 g

towel 200 g

tea cloth 100 g

night dress 200 g

ladies’ briefs 100 g

man’s work shirt 600 g

man’s shirt 200 g

man’s pyjamas 500 g

blouse 100 g

men’s underpants 100 g

Removing stains

Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water

and detergent. 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.

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 garment 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 coloured only).

Ball point pen and glue: Moisten with acetone (*),

lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.

Lipstick: Moisten with acetone as above, then treat

stains with methylated spirits. Remove any residual

marks from white fabrics 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.

Washing hints

UserManualNukeEUFinal.OK.qxd 04/07/2005 12:53 Pagina 9

10

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.

Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated

spirits or benzine, then rub with detergent paste.

(*) 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.

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 special for woollens only.

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. The

washing machine incorporates a recirculation system

which allows an optimal use of the concentrated

detergent.

Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer

compartment marked just before starting the

programme.

Any fabric softener or starching additives must be

poured into the compartment marked before

starting the wash programme.

Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations

on quantities to use and do not exceed the «MAX»

mark in the detergent dispenser drawer.

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.

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.

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.

Detergent can also accumulate inside the drawer

recess: clean it with an old toothbrush. Refit the

drawer after cleaning.

4. Cleaing Drain Pump

The pump should be inspected regularly and

particularly if

• the machine does not empty and/or spin

• the machine makes an unusual noise during

draining due to objects such as safety pins, coins

etc. blocking the pump.

Proceed as follows:

• Disconnect the appliance.

• If necessary wait until the water has cooled down.

• Open the pump door.

• Place a container close to the pump to collect any

spillage.

• Release the emergency emptying hose, place it in

the container and remove its cap.

• When no more water comes out, unscrew the

pump and remove it. Always keep a rag nearby to

dry up spillage of water when removing the pump.

rotating it.

• Put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose

and place the latter back in its seat.

• Screw the pump fully in.

• Close the pump door.

5. 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. Clean the filter with a

stiff brush. Screw the hose back onto the tap.

P1117

6. Emergency emptying out

If the water is not discharged, 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;

• open the the pump door;

• place a bowl on the floor and place the end of the

emergency emptying hose into the bowl. Remove

its cap. The water should drain by gravity into the

bowl. When the bowl is full, put the cap back on

the hose. Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure

until water stops flowing out;

• clean the pump if necessary as previously

described;

• replace the emergency emptying hose in its seat

after having plugged it;

• screw the pump again and close the door.

7. Frost precautions

If the machine is installed in a place where the

temperature could drop below 0°C, proceed as

follows:

• Remove the plug from the socket.

• Close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet

hose from the tap.

• Place the end of the emergency emptying hose

and that of the inlet hose in a bowl placed on the

floor and let water drain out.

• Screw the water inlet hose back on and reposition

the emergency emptying hose after having put the

cap on again.

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.

Important!

Every time you drain the water through the

emergency emptying hose you must pour 2 litres of

water into the main wash compartment of the

detergent drawer and then run the drain programme.

This will activate the ECO valve avoiding that part of

the detergent remains unused at next washing.

• Spinning starts late or the laundry

is not spun enough:

Problem Possible cause

• The electronic unbalance detection device 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 few minutes, the

laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum,

the machine will not spin. If at the end of the

programme the laundry is not spun enough,

redistribute the load manually and select the spin

programme.

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.
