Installation

 This instruction manual should be kept in a safe place

for future reference. If the washing machine is sold,

given away or moved, please ensure the manual is kept

with the machine, so that the new owner may benefit

from the advice contained within it.

 Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital

information relating to the safe installation and operation

of the appliance.

 Inside the pack containing this manual, you will also

find the guarantee and all the details necessary for

installation.

Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking

1. Once you have removed all the packaging from the

washing machine, make sure it has not been damaged

during transportation.

If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not

proceed any further with the installation process.

2. Remove the 4

protective screws (used

during transportation) and

the corresponding spacer,

located on the rear part of

the appliance (see figure).

3. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs supplied in

the pack.

4. Keep all the parts in a safe place; they will be needed

again if the washing machine is moved to another

location, to prevent the inside of the appliance being

damaged.

 Packaging materials should not be used as toys for

children.

Levelling

1. Place the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor,

without resting it up against walls or cabinets.

2. If the floor is uneven,

the front feet of the

machine may be adjusted

until it reaches a horizontal

position (the angle of

inclination must not

exceed 2 degrees).

 If the appliance is levelled correctly, it will be more

stable and much less likely to cause vibrations and noise

while it is operating, particularly during the spin cycle.

 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

 Before connecting the inlet hose to the water supply,

run the water until it is perfectly clear.

1. 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).

2. Connect the inlet hose

by screwing it to a cold

water tab using a 3/4 gas

threaded connection (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 data table (see next

page).

 If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a

specialised shop or an authorised technician.

 Never use second-hand or old inlet hoses; use the

products supplied with the machine.

Connecting the drain hose

Connect the drain hose,

without bending it, to a

draining duct or a wall

drain situated between 65

and 100 cm from the floor;

alternatively, place it over

the edge of a basin, sink

or tub, 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; in case

of absolute need, 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

applicable law;

 the socket is able to sustain the appliance's

maximum power load indicated in the Technical

Detergents and laundry

Detergent

The type and quantity of detergent required depend on

the type of fabric you are washing (cotton, wool, silk,

etc.), as well as its colour, the washing temperature, the

level of soiling and the hardness of the water in the area.

Measuring out the detergent carefully will avoid wastage

and help to protect the environment: although they are

biodegradable, detergents still contain ingredients which

alter the balance of nature.

We recommend the following:

 use powder detergents for white cotton garments and

pre-washing.

 use liquid detergents for delicate cotton garments and

for all low-temperature wash cycles.

 use gentle liquid detergents for wool and silk

garments.

The detergent should be poured into the relevant

compartment - or the dispenser placed directly inside

the drum - before the wash cycle begins. In the latter

case, it will not be possible to select the Cottons with

pre-wash cycle.

 Do not use hand washing detergents because these

create too much foam.

Preparing the laundry

 Shake out the garments before loading them into the

machine.

 Divide the laundry according fabric type (symbol on the

washing instruction label) and colour, making sure you

separate the coloured garments from the white ones;

 Empty all 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 pillowcase 150-200 g

1 tablecloth 400-500 g

1 bathrobe 900-1200 g

1 towel 150-250 g

1 pair of jeans 400-500 g

1 shirt 150-200 g

Washing recommendations

Shirts: use the special Shirts wash cycle to wash

shirts in different fabrics and colours to guarantee they

receive the best possible care.

Jeans: use the special Jeans

wash cycle for all

denim garments; turn inside out before washing and use

a liquid detergent.

Baby: use the special Baby

wash cycle 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 disinfecting additives

added to the detergent. At the end of the wash cycle,

the machine will slowly rotate the drum; to end the cycle

press the START/PAUSE button.

Silk: use the special Silk

wash cycle to wash all silk

garments. We recommend the use of special detergent

which has been designed to wash delicate clothes.

Curtains: use the Silk

wash cycle. These should

be folded and placed inside the bag provided.

Wool: Ariston is the only washing machine brand to

have been awarded the prestigious Woolmark Platinum

Care endorsement (M.0508) by the Woolmark Company,

which means that all woollen garments may be washed

in the washing machine, even those which state hand

wash only

on the label. The Wool wash cycle can

be used to wash all woollen garments in the washing

machine while guaranteeing optimum performance.

Duvets: to wash double or single duvets (the weight of

which should not exceed 3,5 kg), cushions or clothes

padded with goose down such as puffa jackets, use the

special Duvets

wash cycle. 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.

Quilts: to wash quilts with a synthetic outer layer, use

the bag provided and set the wash cycle to Duvets

Bedlinen and towels: use the Bed & Bath

cycle

to wash laundry from all over the house; this optimises

fabric softener performance and helps you save time and

energy. We recommend the use of powder detergent.

Stubborn stains: it is wise to treat stubborn stains with

solid soap before washing, and to use the Cottons with

pre-wash cycle.

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.

Precautions and tips

 The 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 is not intended for use by persons

(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or

mental capabilities, or lack of experience and

knowledge, unless they have been given supervision

or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a

person responsible for their safety.Children should be

circumstances access the internal mechanisms in an

attempt to repair it yourself.

 Always keep children well away from the appliance

while it is operating.

 If it must be moved, proceed with the help 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 relating to Waste

Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states

that household appliances should not be disposed of

using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted

appliances should be collected separately in order to

optimise the cost of re-using and recycling the

materials inside the machine, while preventing

potential damage to the atmosphere and to public

health. The crossed-out dustbin is marked on all

products to remind the owner of their obligations

regarding separated waste collection.

For more information relating to the correct disposal of

household appliances, owners should contact their

local authorities or appliance dealer.

lever (1) and pull the drawer

outwards (2) (see figure).

Wash it under running

water; this procedure should

be repeated frequently.

Caring for your appliance drum

 Always leave the door ajar 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

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. position a container so

that it will collect the water

which flows out

(approximately 1.5 l) (see

figure);

3. unscrew the lid by

rotating it in an anti-

clockwise direction (see

figure);

4. clean the inside thoroughly;

5. screw the lid back on;

6. 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.

Care and maintenance

Trouble shooting

Your washing machine could occasionally fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre

(see Assistance), make sure that the problem cannot be not solved easily using the following list.
