Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for
future reference. Should the appliance be sold,
transferred or moved, make sure the instruction
manual accompanies the washing machine to inform
the new owner as to its operation and features.
Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital
information on installation, use and safety.
Unpacking and levelling
Unpacking
1. Unpack the washing
machine.
2. Check whether the
washing machine has
been damaged during
transport. If this is the
case, do not install it
and contact your
retailer.
3. Remove the four
protective screws and
the rubber washer with
the respective spacer,
situated on the rear of
the appliance (see
figure).
4. Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided.
5. Keep all the parts: you will need them again if the
washing machine needs to be moved to another
location.
Warning: should the screws be re-used, make sure
you fasten the shorter ones at the top.
Packaging materials are not children's toys.
Levelling
1Your 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 sturdy
floor, without resting it
up against walls,
furniture cabinets or
other.
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
according to the worktop, must not exceed 2°.
Levelling your appliance correctly will provide it with
stability and avoid any vibrations, noise and shifting
during operation. If it is placed on a fitted or loose
carpet, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow
enough room for ventilation beneath the washing
machine.
Electric and water connections
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 mouth
(see figure).
Before making the
connection, allow the
water to run freely
until it is perfectly
clear.
2. Connect the other
end of the water inlet
hose to the washing
machine,
screwing it onto the
appliance's cold water
inlet, situated on the top
right-hand side on the
rear of the appliance
(see figure).
3. Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the
hose.
The water pressure at the tap must be within the
values indicated in the Technical details table
(on the next page).
If the water inlet hose is not long enough,
contact a specialist store or an authorised
serviceman.

ServiceTroubleshootingPrecautions CareProgrammes DetergentsInstallation Description
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
details table (on the right);
the supply voltage is included within the values i
ndicated on the Technical details table
(on the right);
the socket is compatible with the washing
machine's plug. If this is not the case, replace
the socket or the plug.
The washing machine should not be installed in an
outdoor environment, not even when the area is
sheltered, because it may be very dangerous to
leave it exposed to rain and thunderstorms.
When the washing machine is installed, the mains
socket must be within easy reach.
Do not use extensions or multiple sockets.
The power supply cable must never be bent or
dangerously compressed.
The power supply cable must only be replaced by
an authorised serviceman.
Warning! The company denies all liability if and when
these norms 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, setting the 90°C
programme without a pre-wash cycle.

Setting the temperature
Turn the TEMPERATURE knob to set the wash temperature (see Programme table on page 5).
The temperature can be lowered, or even set to a cold wash (
).
Functions
To enable the functions, press the button corresponding to the desired function, according to the table below.
Anti-crease
This feature interrupts the wash cycle (position ), letting the laundry soak in the water before the spin cycle.
It is activated only during the wash cycles for synthetic materials and wool.
This feature is very useful because it prevents delicate and synthetic clothing from wrinkling (for example, when
you are unable to remove the laundry at the end of the wash cycle and it must remain in the machine for
several hours).
The wash program can be completed with either a spin cycle or by draining the water without wringing.
In the first case, simply turn the knob PROGRAMME clokwise one click.
In the second, turn the knob PROGRAMME to the drain setting
.
In both cases, the knob PROGRAMME must be turned when the machine is off.
Function Effect Comments
Half load
Reduces water
consumption during
the rinse cycles.
We recommend that you use this function only with small laundry loads,
dosing the detergent proportionally.
No Spin
Use this button to
exclude the spin
cycle.
We recommend that you use it when washing garments which are difficult
to iron.

GB
Detergent dispenser
Good washing results also depend on the correct
dose of detergent: adding too much detergent won't
necessarily make for a more efficient wash, and may
in fact cause build up on the interior of your
appliance and even pollute the environment.
Open up the detergent
dispenser and pour in
the detergent and
fabric softener, as
follows.
compartment 1: Detergent for pre-wash
(powder)
compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle
(powder or liquid)
Liquid detergent should only be poured in
immediately prior to the wash cycle start.
Do not use hand wash detergent because it may
form too much foam.
compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
When pouring the softener in compartment 3, avoid
exceeding the "max" level indicated.
The softener is added automatically into the machine
during the last wash. At the end of the wash
programme, some water will be left in compartment
3. This is used for the inlet of denser fabric softeners
into the machine, i.e. to dilute the more
concentrated softeners. Should more than a normal
amount of water remain in compartment 3, this
means the emptying device is blocked. For cleaning
instructions, see page 9.
The fabric softener should not overflow from the grid.
compartment 4: Bleach
Bleach cycle
Traditional bleach should be used on sturdy white
fabrics, and delicate bleach for coloured fabrics,
synthetics and for wool.
When pouring in the bleach, be careful not to exceed
the "max" level indicated on compartment 4 (see
figure).

Detergents and laundry
Preparing your laundry
Divide your laundry according to:
- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label.
- the colours: separate coloured garments from
whites.
Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons.
Do not exceed the weight limits stated below,
which refer to the weight when dry:
Sturdy fabrics: max 5 kg
Synthetic fabrics: max 2.5 kg
Delicate fabrics: max 2 kg
Wool: max 1 kg
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 items
Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow
case or mesh bag. Wash them separately without
exceeding half the appliance load. Use programme 7
which excludes the spin cycle automatically.
Quilted coats and windbreakers: if they are
padded with goose or duck down, they can be
machine-washed. Turn the garments inside out and
load a maximum of 2-3 kg, repeating the rinse cycle
once or twice and using the delicate spin cycle.
Wool: for best results, use a specific detergent,
taking care not to exceed a load of 1 kg.

Precautions and advice
The washing machine was designed and built in
compliance with the applicable international safety
regulations. The following information is provided for
your safety and should consequently be read
carefully.
General safety
This appliance has been designed for non-
professional, household use and its functions must
not be changed.
This washing machine should only be used by
adults and in accordance with the instructions
provided in this manual.
Never touch the washing machine when barefoot
or with wet or damp hands or feet.
Do not pull on the power supply cable to unplug
the appliance from the electricity socket. Pull the
plug out yourself.
Do not open the detergent dispenser while the
appliance is in operation.
Do not touch the drain water as it could reach
very high temperatures.
Never force the washing machine door: this could
damage the safety lock mechanism designed to
prevent any accidental openings.
In the event of a malfunction, do not under any
circumstances touch internal parts in order to
attempt repairs.
Always keep children well away from the
appliance while in operation.
The appliance door tends to get quite hot during
the wash cycle.
Should it have to 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 your laundry into the washing
machine, make sure the drum is empty.
Disposal
Disposal of old electrical appliances
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), 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.
Disposing of an old washing machine:
before scrapping your appliance, cut the power
supply cable and remove the appliance door.
Saving energy and respecting the
environment
Environmentally-friendly technology
If you only see a little water through your appliance
door, this is because thanks to the latest technology,
your washing machine only needs less than half the
amount of water to get the best results: an objective
reached to respect the environment.
Saving on detergent, water,
energy and time
To avoid wasting resources, the washing machine
should be used with a full load. A full load instead
of two half loads allows you to save up to 50% on
energy.
The pre-wash cycle is only necessary on
extremely soiled garments. Avoiding it will save on
detergent, time, water and between 5 and 15%
energy.
Treating stains with a stain remover or leaving
them to soak before washing will cut down the
need to wash them at high temperatures. A
programme at 60°C instead of 90°C or one at
40°C instead of 60°C will save up to 50% on
energy.
Use the correct quantity of detergent depending
on the water hardness, how soiled the garments
are and the amount of laundry you have, to avoid
wastage and to protect the environment: despite
being biodegradable, detergents do contain
ingredients that alter the natural balance of the
environment. In addition, avoid using fabric
softener as much as possible.
If you use your washing machine from late in the
afternoon until the early hours of the morning, you
will help reduce the electricity board's peak load.
If your laundry has to be dried in a tumble dryer,
select a high spin speed. Having the least water
possible in your laundry will save you time and
energy in the drying process.

ServiceTroubleshootingPrecautions CareProgrammes DetergentsInstallation Description
Care and maintenance
Cutting off the water or electricity
supply
Turn off the water tap after every wash. This will
limit the wear of your appliance's water system
and also prevent leaks.
Unplug your appliance when cleaning it and
during all maintenance operations.
Cleaning your appliance
The exterior and rubber parts of your appliance can
be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm
soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
Remove the dispenser by raising it and pulling it out
(see figure).
Wash it under running water; this operation should
be repeated
frequently.
Caring for your appliance door and
drum
Always leave the appliance door ajar to prevent
unpleasant odours from forming.
Cleaning the pump
The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning
pump that does not require any maintenance.
Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons)
may fall into the pre-chamber that protects the
pump, situated in the lower part of the same.
To recover any objects that have fallen into the pre-
chamber:
1. remove the plinth at
the bottom on the
front side of the
washing machine by
pulling from the side
with your hands (see
figure);
2. unscrew the lid
rotating it anticlock-
wise (see figure): a
little water may trickle
out. This is perfectly
normal;
3. clean the interior
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 water inlet hose at least once a year. If
you see any cracks, replace it immediately: during
the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and
a cracked hose could easily split open.
Never use hoses that have already been used.
Make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug
the appliance.
How to clean the detergent dispenser
Fig. 1 Fig. 2
Cleaning:
Then clean the dispenser under a tap (fig. 3) using an old
toothbrush and, once the pair of siphons inserted in the
top of compartments 1 and 2 (fig. 4) have been pulled
out, check whether the same are not clogged and then
rinse them.
Reassembly:
Do not forget to reinsert the
pair of siphons into the
special housings and then to
replace the dispenser into its
seat, clicking it into place
(fig. 4, 2 and 1).
Disassembly:
Press lightly on the large
button on the front of the
detergent dispenser and pull
it upwards (fig. 1).

Raccordement du tuyau de vidange
Raccordez le tuyau
d'évacuation, 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 accrochez-le à
un évier ou à une
baignoire, dans ce cas,
fixez 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 de tuyaux de rallonge est absolument
déconseillée, si vous ne pouvez vraiment pas faire
autrement vous devrez utiliser un tuyau de même
diamètre et de longueur maximum de 150 cm.
Branchement électrique
Avant de brancher la fiche dans la prise de courant,
contrôlez que:
la prise dispose de mise à la terre et est conforme
aux normes;
la prise est bien apte à supporter la puissance
maximale de la machine indiquée dans le tableau
des Carcatéristiques techniques (voir ci-contre);
la tension d'alimentation est bien comprise entre les
valeurs figurant dans le tableau des
Caractéristiques techniques (voir ci-contre);
la prise est bien compatible avec la fiche du lave-
linge. Autrement, remplacez la prise ou la fiche.
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.
Le câble d'alimentation ne doit être remplacé que
par des techniciens agréés.
Attention! Nous déclinons toute responsabilité en cas
de non respect des normes énumérées ci-dessus.
Premier cycle de lavage
Avant la première utilisation de la machine, effectuez

Sélection de la température
Tournez le bouton TEMPERATURE pour sélectionner la température de lavage (voir Tableau des programmes page 18).
Vous pouvez réduire la température jusqu'au lavage à froid (
).
Fonctions
Les différentes fonctions de lavage prévues par le lave-linge permettent d'obtenir la propreté et le blanc souhaités.
Pour activer les fonctions, appuyez sur la touche correspondant à la fonction désirée, d'après le tableau ci-
dessous;
Bac produits
Fonctions Effet Mode d'emploi
Demi-charge
Réduit la consommation deau lors des
rinçages.
Nous vous conseillons de ne lutiliser quen
cas de chargement incomplet et de réduire
la quantité de produit lessiviel.
Suppression
essorage
Cette fonction sert à supprimer l'essorage
Conseillée en cas de lavage de textiles
difficiles à repasser.
Arrêt cuve pleine
Cette fonction (repérée par le symbole
) arrête le programme de lavage lorsque la cuve est encore pleine d'eau,
juste avant l'essorage. Elle n'est active que pour les programmes de lavage des textiles synthétiques et de la
laine.
Cette fonction est trés utile car elle évite toute froissure excessive sur les textiles délicats et synthétiques (par
exemple, lorsque vous ne pouvez retirer le linge de la machine que quelques heures aprés la fin du lavage).
Pour compléter le programme, vous pouvez choisir entre l'essorage ou le vidange sans essorage.
Dans le premier cas, il suffit de tourner la bouton PROGRAMMES d'un cran dans le sens des aiguilles d'une
montre.
Dans le deuxième cas, il faut placer la bouton PROGRAMMES sur la position
.
Dans les deux cas, ne tournez la bouton PROGRAMMES que lorsque la machine est arrêtée.

Produits lessiviels et linge
Tiroir à produits lessiviels
Un bon résultat de
lavage dépend aussi
d'un bon dosage de
produit lessiviel: un
excès de lessive ne
lave pas mieux, il
incruste l'intérieur de
votre lave-linge et
pollue
l'environnement.
Sortez le tiroir à produits lessiviels et versez la lessive
ou l'additif comme suit.
bac 1: Lessive prélavage
(en poudre)
bac 2: Lessive lavage
(en poudre ou liquide)
En cas d'utilisation de lessive liquide, il est conseillé
d'introduire la boule doseuse directement dans la
cuve.
N'utilisez pas de lessives pour lavage à la main,
elles génèrent trop de mousse.
bac 3: Additifs (adoucissant, etc.)
L'assouplissant ne doit pas déborder de la grille
(max). Le lave-linge prélève automatiquement
lassouplissant lors du dernier rinçage.
A la fin du programme de lavage il reste dans le bac
3 un résidu deau. Cette eau sert au prélèvement
des assouplissants très denses ou à dissoudre les
assouplissants concentrés.
Si dans le bac 3 il reste un peu plus deau que dhabitude,
cela signifie que le dispositif de vidange est bouché et
empêche leffet aspirant du dispositif.
Pour le nettoyage voir page 22.
bac 4: Eau de javel
Cycle blanchissage
N'utilisez de l'eau de Javel traditionnelle que pour
les tissus blancs résistants et des détachants
délicats pour les couleurs, les synthétiques et la
laine.
Lorsque vous versez l'eau de Javel, attention à ne pas
dépasser le niveau "max" indiqué sur le bac 4
(voir figure).
Lutilisation de leau de javel exclut la possibilité
deffectuer un prélavage.
Triage du linge
Triez correctement votre linge d'après:
- le type de textile / le symbole sur l'étiquette.
- les couleurs: séparez le linge coloré du blanc.
Videz les poches et contrôlez les boutons.
Ne dépassez pas les valeurs indiquées correspon-
dant au poids de linge sec:
Textiles résistants: 5 kg max.
Textiles synthétiques: 2,5 kg max.
Textiles délicats: 2 kg max.
Laine: 1 kg max.
Combien pèse le linge ?
1 drap 400-500 g
1 taie d'oreiller 150-200 g
1 nappe 400-500 g
1 peignoir 900-1.200 g
1 serviette éponge 150-250 g
Pièces de linge particulières
Rideaux: pliez-les bien et glissez-les dans une taie
d'oreiller ou dans un sac genre filet. Lavez-les seuls
sans dépasser la demi-charge.
Doudounes et anoraks: s'ils sont en duvet d'oie ou
de canard, ils peuvent être lavés à la machine. Lavez les
vêtements sur lenvers. La charge ne doit pas excéder
2-3 kg. Prévoyez 2, voire 3 rinçages et un essorage.
Laine: pour obtenir d'excellents résultats utilisez un
produit lessiviel spécial et ne dépassez pas une
charge de 1 kg.
