Installation
This instruction manual should be kept in a safe
place for future reference. If the appliance 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. Unpack the washing machine.
2. Make sure that the 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 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: they will be
needed again if the washing machine is moved to
another location.
Packaging materials should not be used as toys for
children.
Levelling
Your machine may make a considerable amount of
noise if the two front feet have not been adjusted
correctly.
1. Install the washing machine on a flat and sturdy
floor, without placing it against walls, cabinets or
other furniture.
2. If the floor is not
perfectly level, compen-
sate for 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 machine.
Connecting the electricity and water
supplies
Connecting the water inlet hose
1. Insert seal A into the
end of the inlet hose and
screw the latter onto a
cold water tap with a 3/4
gas threaded opening
(see figure).
Before performing the
connection, allow the
water to run freely until it
is perfectly clear.
2. Connect the inlet hose
to the machine by
screwing it onto the cold
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.

Self-cleaning detergent dispenser
drawer
This washing machine is fitted with an innovative self-
cleaning detergent drawer which enhances the
quality of each wash.
The drawer is located inside the porthole door.
1. Open the porthole door to access the detergent
dispenser drawer (see figure A).
2. Pour the detergent or the additive into the
compartments, over the protective grilles, as follows:
Compartment
: detergent and additives in
liquid form.
Compartment
: detergent in powder or tablet
form and powder addititves.
To place the tablets inside, lift up the grille
protecting the drawer.
Compartment
: fabric softener.
Pouring liquid detergent or additives into the central
compartment may cause leakages to occur.
The detergent level can be seen through the corresponding
transparent windows provided on the compartment.
Inside compartments and , there are also
floating indicators (see figure B) . When the
maximum quantity of detergent/fabric softener has
been measured out, the indicators rise until they
touch the grilles protecting the compartments.
We recommend that the maximum levels
indicated on the detergent dispenser drawer are
not exceeded.
We recommend that the dosage instructions on
the detergent packaging are followed carefully. If
using certain particularly thick types of detergent,
we suggest that these are placed directly inside the
drum and not in the detergent dispenser drawer.
Exceeding the maximum levels indicated on the
machine may cause the detergent to leak out of the
bottom part of the drawer.
Exceeding the stated amount of detergent does not
result in a more effective was; it simply pollutes the
environment more.
The water used during the wash cycle will remove
any excess detergent from the drawer. It is, however,
possible to remove the drawer manually (see Care
and Maintenance).
To facilitate the process of measuring out the
detergents, we recommend that the dosing device
supplied with the washing machine is used.
The maximum capacity of the drawer is as follows:
- liquid detergents: 1 1/2 measures
- powder detergents: 2 measures
- fabric softener: 1 measure

For further details, please refer to the chapter entitled
Running a wash cycle.
Load balancing system
To avoid excessive vibrations before every spin, the
machine distributes the load in a uniform manner by
rotating the drum continuously at a speed which is
slightly greater than the washing rotation speed.
When, despite repeated attempts, the load is not
perfectly distributed, the machine spins at a lower
speed than stated for the wash cycle.
If the load is excessively unbalanced, the machine
performs the distribution process instead of spinning.
Balancing attempts may increase the total duration of
the cycle, up to a maximum of 10 minutes.

Wash programmes
*Note: for information relating to excluding the spin cycle in the delicates programme, please refer to the
Delicates 30° paragraph further down the page.
**Note: for information relating to rinsing hand-washed clothes in cold water, please refer to the
Daily wash 30 / Cold water rinse paragraph further down the page.
WHITE COTTON 60°
Designed for the washing of all durable white cotton
garments. Higher washing temperatures offer improved
washing results in Class A appliances.
COLOUR MIX 40° / EASY-IRON
This programme can be used to wash all your coloured
garments, whether cotton or synthetic fabric. The spin
cycle is carefully controlled during the entire wash cycle,
so as to reduce the formation of creases in the fabric
and make it easier to iron.
Cotton and synthetic garments can be washed at the
same time.
DELICATES 30°
A cycle designed for the washing of all woollen, silk and
delicate garments. As these garments have different
features, this programme requires an activation
process which is different from the others:
+ DELICATES CYCLE WITH FINAL SPIN (for
woollen garments): press the START DELICATES
PROGRAMME
button. After approximately 3
seconds, the START DELICATES PROGRAMME
and START DAILY WASH PROGRAMME buttons
begin to flash. Press the START DELICATES
PROGRAMME
button to perform the wash, which
ends with a delicate spin cycle. This programme
includes drum movements which have been carefully
researched to remove excess water from the fabric,
thereby reducing friction and helping to protect your
woollen garments.
+ DELICATES CYCLE WITH SPIN PHASE
EXCLUDED (for silk and viscose garments and for
curtains; not to be used for washing wool):
press the START DELICATES PROGRAMME
button. After approximately 3 seconds, the START
DELICATES PROGRAMME
and START DAILY
WASH PROGRAMME
buttons begin to flash. Press
the START DAILY WASH PROGRAMME
button to
perform the wash without the final spin cycle. At the
end of the cycle, the machine will automatically drain
the water contained in the drum. We recommend that
the garments are removed from the washing machine
straight away, in order to limit the formation of creases.
DAILY WASH 30 / COLD WATER RINSE
This programme can be used to wash lightly soiled
cotton or synthetic fabrics, or garments with the "wash
at 30°"
instruction on the label, in just 30 minutes. It
is also possibile to rinse cotton or synthetic garments
which have been washed by hand (this does not include
wool or silk).
Thanks to its special sensors, the washing machine
is able to recognise when the garments placed in the
drum have detergent on them.
- if no detergent is detected on the clothes, the DAILY
WASH 30' cycle will be performed;
- if detergent is detected (cloths which have been
washed by hand), the COLD WATER RINSE cycle will
be performed automatically.
AUTOMATIC RINSE MANAGEMENT
The rinse function is monitored and controlled in every
programme by special sensors. If the garments are
very soapy at the end of the wash, the rinse cycle
will be extended automatically until the detergent is
removed completely. In this case the wash
programme duration may be slightly increased in relation
to the information given in the table of programmes.
The duration of the programmes indicated in the table are for guidance purposes only, and are calculated based on an average load quantity.

Washing recommendations
Bed and bathroom laundry (sheets, towels,
bathrobes, etc.): use the WHITE COTTON
programme which guarantees the most efficient
wash in Class A appliances. The intensive spin
cycle eliminates all excess water efficiently.
White cotton garments (shirts, T-shirts,
tablecloths, etc.): use the WHITE COTTON 60°
programme. If there are any stubborn stains, they
should be pre-treated with solid soap before the
wash cycle is started.
Coloured cotton garments (shirts, T-shirts,
underwear, etc.): use the COLOUR MIX 40°
programme, which maximises the performance of
the wash without damaging the colours. The spin
cycle phase, thanks to the incorporated EASY
IRON function, reduces the formation of creases
at the end of the wash, making the fabric easier
to iron. We recommend the use of liquid
detergent.
White or coloured synthetic garments (shirts,
T-shirts, underwear, etc.): use the COLOUR MIX
40°
programme. We recommend that white
and coloured garments are not washed in the
same wash cycle, to prevent any colour leakage
from seeping into the white clothing. We
recommend the use of liquid detergent.
Coloured synthetic and cotton garments, with
wash at 30°
instruction on the care label: use
the DAILY WASH 30
programme. The low
washing temperature protects the coloured fabrics.
We recommend the use of liquid detergent.
Woollen garments (jumpers, scarves, etc.): use
the DELICATES 30° programme with final spin
+ . The movement of the drum during the
wash and the delicate spin cycle reduces fabric
matting. We recommend the use of detergents
specifically designed for woollen garments. We
recommend that the maximum load level is not
exceeded.
Silk garments (shirts, underwear, etc.): use the
DELICATES 30° programme with the spin excluded
+ . Try not to leave the laundry in the drum for
too long after the wash cycle has finished, to
prevent excessive creasing.
Curtains: use the DELICATES 30° programme
with the spin excluded
+ . We recommend
they are folded and placed inside a pillowcase or a
mesh bag. Wash them separately, making sure
the maximum load level is not exceeded.
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
1 pair of jeans 400-500 g
1 shirt 150-200 g
Detergents and laundry
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 load values indicated for the
Wash programmes.

Precautions and advice
This machine was designed and constructed in
accordance with international safety regulations. The
following information is provided for safety reasons
and must therefore be read carefully.
General safety
This appliance was designed for domestic use only.
The machine must only be used by adults, in
accordance with the instructions given in this manual.
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 touch the drained water as it may reach
extremely 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
circumstances 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 2002/96/EC 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 collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority or
retailer for information concerning the correct
disposal of their old appliance.
Saving energy and respecting the
environment
Saving detergents, water, energy and time
To avoid wasting resources, the washing machine
should be used with a full load. One full load instead of
two half loads saves up to 50% of the energy used.
Treating stains with a stain remover, or leaving
them to soak before they are washed, reduces the
need to wash the garments at high temperatures.
Use the correct quantity of detergent, in
accordance with the water hardness, how soiled
the garments are and the amount of laundry you
have, in order to avoid wastage and to protect the
environment: although they are biodegradable,
detergents still contain ingredients which alter the
balance of nature. Avoid using fabric softener
wherever possible.
If you use your washing machine between late
afternoon and the early hours of the morning, you will
help to reduce the peak load of the electricity board.
Drip-tray system
The machine is fitted with a drip-tray system on the
inside of the door, which catches any residual drips of
water at the end of the cycle.
We recommend that the dampness level of the
sponge inside the drip-tray compartment is checked
regularly. If necessary, it may be cleaned or replaced
as follows:
1. Remove the
compartment by applying
a light pressure to the
lower part.
2. Remove the sponge
inside it, rinse it under
running water and wring it
out thoroughly. It may
also be replaced with one
of the spare sponges
provided.
3. Place the sponge back inside the compartment.
4. Replace the compartment in the door, making
sure the springs on the door are correctly
inserted into the corresponding slots on the
compartment.
5. Make sure that the compartment is slotted back
into position correctly.

GB
Care and maintenance
Cutting off the water and electricity
supply
Turn off the water tap after every wash. This will
limit wear on the hydraulic system in the machine
and help to prevent leaks.
Unplug the appliance when cleaning it and during
all maintenance work.
Cleaning the machine
The outer parts and rubber components of the
appliance can be cleaned using a soft cloth soaked in
lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or
abrasives.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
drawer
We recommend you check that there is no
detergent or water inside the detergent drawer
before removing it. If these substances are present,
proceed with care as they may leak out of the
drawer while it is being removed.
The detergent dispenser drawer in this machine is
cleaned automatically during the wash cycles.
However, residues may form very occasionally after
certain detergents have been used. To clean the
drawer, proceed as follows:
1. Open the door to
access the drawer.
2. Remove the drawer by
pulling upwards, holding it
by the central
compartment as
indicated in the figure. Do
not grip the drawer by
the grille as this may
damage it.
3. Unhook the drawer
cover to access the
compartment, as
indicated in the figure.
4. Clean the drawer
under running water.
5. Re-hook the cover
and replace the drawer,
pushing until it clicks into
place.
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-chamber 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. remove the protective
casing on the lower part
of the washing machine,
turning it in an
anticlockwise direction
(see figure);
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. screw the protective cap back on by turning it in a
clockwise direction, making sure the arrow on the
inside part of the cap is facing upwards.
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.

Installation
Conserver ce mode demploi pour pouvoir le
consulter à tout moment. En cas de vente, de
cession ou de déménagement, veiller à ce quil suive
toujours lappareil pour que son nouveau propriétaire
soit informé sur son mode de fonctionnement et
puisse profiter des conseils correspondants.
Lire attentivement les instructions : elles fournissent
des conseils importants sur linstallation, lutilisation et
la sécurité de lappareil.
Déballage et mise à niveau
Déballage
1. Déballer lappareil.
2. Contrôler que lappareil na pas été endommagé
pendant le transport. Sil est abîmé, ne pas le
raccorder et contacter le vendeur.
3. Enlever les 4 vis de
protection servant au
transport, le caoutchouc
et la cale, placés dans la
partie arrière (voir figure).
4. Boucher les trous à laide des bouchons plastique
fournis.
5. Conserver toutes ces pièces: il faudra les remonter
en cas de transport de lappareil.
Les pièces demballage ne sont pas des jouets pour
enfants.
Mise à niveau
Lappareil peut savérer bruyant si ses deux pieds
avant nont pas été réglés correctement.
1. Installer lappareil sur un sol plat et rigide, sans
lappuyer contre des murs, des meubles ou autre.
2. Si le sol nest pas
parfaitement horizontal,
visser ou dévisser les
petits pieds avant (voir
figure); pour niveler
lappareil; son angle
dinclinaison, mesuré sur
le plan de travail, ne doit
pas dépasser 2°.
Une bonne mise à niveau garantit la stabilité de
lappareil et évite quil y ait des vibrations, du bruit et
des déplacements en cours de fonctionnement. Si
lappareil est posé sur de la moquette ou un tapis,
régler les petits pieds de manière à ce quil y ait
suffisamment despace pour assurer une bonne
ventilation.
Raccordements eau et électricité
Raccordement du tuyau darrivée de leau
1. Monter le joint A sur
lextrémité du tuyau
dalimentation et le visser
à un robinet deau froide
à embout fileté 3/4 gaz
(voir figure).
Faire couler leau jusquà
ce quelle soit limpide et
sans impuretés avant de
raccorder.
2. Raccorder le tuyau
darrivée de leau à
lappareil en le vissant à
la prise deau 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 leau doit être comprise entre les
valeurs indiquées dans le tableau des Caractéristiques
techniques (voir page ci-contre).
Si la longueur du tuyau dalimentation ne suffit pas,
sadresser à un magasin spécialisé ou à un technicien
agréé.
F

65 - 100 cm
Raccordement du tuyau de vidange
Raccorder le tuyau
dévacuation, sans le plier,
à un conduit dévacuation
ou à une évacuation
murale placés à une
distance du sol comprise
entre 65 et 100 cm;
ou bien laccrocher à un
évier ou à une baignoire,
dans ce cas, fixer le
support en plastique
fourni avec lappareil au
robinet (voir figure).
Lextrémité libre du tuyau
dévacuation ne doit pas
être plongée dans leau.
Lutilisation dun tuyau de rallonge est absolument
déconseillée mais si on ne peut faire autrement, il faut
absolument quil ait le même diamètre que le tuyau
original et sa longueur ne doit pas dépasser 150 cm.
Branchement électrique
Avant de brancher la fiche dans la prise de courant,
contrôler que:
la prise est bien reliée à la terre et est conforme
aux normes;
la prise est bien apte à supporter la puissance
maximale de lappareil indiquée dans le tableau des
Caractéristiques techniques (voir ci-contre);
la tension dalimentation est bien comprise entre
les valeurs figurant dans le tableau des
Caractéristiques techniques (voir ci-contre);
la prise est bien compatible avec la fiche de
lappareil. Autrement, remplacer la prise ou la fiche.
Cet appareil ne doit pas être installé à lextérieur,
même à labri, car il est très dangereux de le laisser
exposé à la pluie et aux orages.
Après installation de lappareil, la prise de courant
doit être facilement accessible.
Nutiliser ni rallonges ni prises multiples.
Le câble ne doit être ni plié ni trop écrasé.
Le câble dalimentation ne doit être remplacé que
par des techniciens agréés.
Attention! Nous déclinons toute responsabilité en cas
de non-respect des normes énumérées ci-dessus.

daméliorer la qualité du lavage.
Le tiroir se trouve à lintérieur du hublot.
1. Ouvrir le hublot pour accéder au tiroir à produits
lessiviels (voir figure A).
2. Introduire la lessive ou ladditif de lavage à
lintérieur des bacs, à travers les grilles de protection,
comme suit:
Bac
: lessive liquide et additifs liquides.
Bac
: lessive en poudre ou en pastilles et
additifs en poudre.
Pour introduire les pastilles, soulever la grille de
protection du tiroir.
Bac
: assouplissant.
Lintroduction de produits lessiviels ou dadditifs
liquides dans le bac du milieu peut causer un
déversement non souhaité.

et disposent en outre de flotteurs
indicateurs (voir figure B). Les flotteurs se soulèvent
jusquà effleurer les grilles de protection des bacs
quand la quantité maximum de lessive/assouplissant
pouvant être introduite est atteinte.
Nous recommandons de ne jamais dépasser les
niveaux maximums indiqués sur le tiroir à produits
lessiviels.
Nous recommandons de toujours se conformer
aux instructions de dosage fournies par le fabricant
de lessive. Nous conseillons dintroduire les
lessives particulièrement denses directement dans
le tambour sans utiliser le tiroir à produits
lessiviels.
Le dépassement des niveaux maximums indiqués sur
lappareil peut causer un débordement de lessive par
le bas du tiroir.
Un excès de lessive ne lave pas mieux mais pollue
davantage lenvironnement.
Leau utilisée pendant le cycle de lavage procède à
lélimination de tout excédent de lessive dans le tiroir.
Il est toutefois possible de sortir le tiroir (voir
Entretien et soin).
Pour bien doser les produits lessiviels, nous conseillons
dutiliser le doseur fourni avec le lave-linge.
La capacité maximum du tiroir est de:
- lessives liquides: 1 dose 1/2
- lessives en poudre: 2 doses
- assouplissant: 1 dose

Système déquilibrage de la charge
Avant tout essorage, pour éviter des vibrations
excessives et répartir le linge de façon uniforme,
lappareil fait tourner le tambour à une vitesse
légèrement supérieure à la vitesse de lavage.
Si au bout de plusieurs tentatives, la charge nest
toujours pas correctement équilibrée, lappareil
procède à un essorage à une vitesse inférieure à la
vitesse normalement prévue.
En cas de déséquilibre excessif, lappareil procède à
la répartition du linge plutôt quà son essorage.
Les tentatives déquilibrage peuvent prolonger la
durée totale du cycle de 10 minutes maximum.

Conseils de lavage
Linge de lit et de toilette (draps, serviettes,
peignoirs etc): utiliser le programme COTON
BLANC 60°
qui garantit les meilleures
performances de lavage en classe A. Lessorage
intensif permet déliminer efficacement leau en
excès.
Articles en coton blanc (chemises, tee-shirts,
nappes etc.): utiliser le programme COTON
BLANC 60°. Traiter les taches tenaces au savon
solide avant de procéder au lavage.
Articles en coton couleurs (chemises, tee-shirts
etc.): utiliser le programme MIX COULEUR 40°
,
qui permet doptimiser les performances de lavage
sans abîmer les couleurs. La fonction de
REPASSAGE FACILE, incorporée dans la phase
dessorage, réduit la formation de faux plis et
simplifie lopération de repassage. Nous
recommandons dutiliser de la lessive liquide.
Articles en textiles synthétiques, blanc ou
couleurs (chemises, tee-shirts etc.): utiliser le
programme MIX COULEUR 40°
. Nous
recommandons de ne pas laver simultanément
blanc et couleurs au cours dun même cycle de
lavage car les couleurs risquent de déteindre sur
le blanc. Nous recommandons dutiliser de la
lessive liquide.
Articles coton ou textiles synthétiques couleurs
portant létiquette lavage à 30°
: utiliser le
programme EXPRESS
. Le respect des couleurs
est assuré par la basse température de lavage.
Nous recommandons dutiliser de la lessive liquide.
Articles en laine (pulls, écharpes etc.): utiliser le
programme DÉLICAT 30° avec essorage final
+ . Les mouvements imprimés au tambour
pendant le lavage et la phase dessorage délicat
réduisent les risques de feutrage des tissus. Nous
conseillons dutiliser des lessives spéciales laine.
Nous recommandons de ne pas dépasser la
charge maximale autorisée.
Articles en soie (chemises etc.): utiliser le
programme DÉLICAT 30° avec suppression
dessorage
+ . Veiller à ne pas laisser le linge
séjourner trop longtemps dans le tambour en fin
de lavage pour éviter une formation excessive de
faux plis.
Rideaux: utiliser le programme DÉLICAT 30° avec
suppression dessorage
+ . Nous
recommandons de bien les plier et de les glisser
dans une taie doreiller ou dans un sac genre filet.
Les laver à part en veillant à ne pas dépasser la
charge maximale autorisée.
