connecting the drain  
hose from the machine  
ensure that any blanks  
or removable ends  
have been taken off  
the spigot.  
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.

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 partitions, units etc., please ensure that  
either:  
! 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.  
the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere re-  
wearable plug bearing the BSI mark of approval.  
or:  
the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp cable  
outlet, controlled by a switch, (in compliance with BS  
5733) which is accessible without moving the  
appliance.  
Ensure that if the drain hose is pushed into a  
standpipe, that the end does not go down more  
than 15cms (6 inches). If the hose is pushed down  
too far, this may cause the machine to self -syphon  
ie. continuously empty as it is filling.  
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.  
Electric connection  
Before plugging the appliance into the mains  
socket, make sure that:

Specials wash cycles  
Express 15’ (wash cycle 9) this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 15 minutes  
and therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting this wash cycle (9 at 30°C), it is possible to wash different fabrics  
together (except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 1.5 kg.  
Sport Intensive (wash cycle 11) is for washing heavily soiled sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for  
best results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the "Table of wash cycles". We  
recommend using a liquid detergent and dosage suitable for a half-load.  
Sport Light (wash cycle 12) is for washing lightly soiled sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best  
results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the "Table of wash cycles". We recommend  
using a liquid detergent and dosage suitable for a half-load.  
Special Shoes (wash cycle 13) is for washing sports shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs  
simultaneously.

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 indicator light flashes rapidly, this signals that this particular function may not be selected in  
conjunction with the selected wash cycle.  
Selecting this option enables you to suitably adjust drum rotation, temperature and water to a reduced load of  
lightly soiled cotton and synthetic fabrics (refer to the ""Table of wash cycles"). “  
” enables you to wash in  
less time thereby saving water and electricity. We suggest using a liquid detergent suitably measured out to the  
load quantity.  
! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13,  
,
,
.
Intensive Wash  
Because a greater quantity of water is used in the initial phase of the cycle, and because of the increased cycle  
duration, this function offers a high-performance wash.  
! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13,  
,
,
.
Extra Rinse  
By selecting this option, the efficiency of the rinse is increased and optimal detergent removal is guaranteed. It is  
particularly useful for sensitive skin.  
! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 9,  
,
.
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 the START/PAUSE button has been pressed, the delay time can only be modified by decreasing it until launching  
the set programme.  
! This option is enabled with all programmes.

Detergents and laundry  
Detergent dispenser drawer  
Silk: use special wash cycle 7 to wash all silk  
GB  
garments. We recommend the use of special  
detergent which has been designed to wash delicate  
clothes.  
Good washing results also depend on the correct  
dose of detergent: adding too much detergent will not  
necessarily result in a more efficient wash, and may in  
fact cause build up on the inside of your appliance  
and contribute to environmental pollution.  
Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow  
case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle 7.  
Jeans: Turn garments inside-out before washing and  
use a liquid detergent. Use programme 8.  
! Do not use hand washing detergents because these  
create too much foam.  
Load balancing system  
Open the detergent  
dispenser drawer and  
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.  
pour in the detergent or  
washing additive, as  
follows.

ompartment 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder)  
compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle  
(powder or liquid)  
Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately

compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)  
The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.  
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 listed values, which refer to the  
weight of the laundry when dry:  
Durable fabrics: max. 6 kg  
Synthetic fabrics: max. 2,5 kg  
Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg  
Wool: max. 1,5 kg  
Silk: 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 900-1200 g  
1 towel 150-250 g  
Garments requiring special care  
Wool: all wool garments can be washed using  
programme 6, even those carrying the "hand-wash  
only"  
label. For best results, use special  
detergents and do not exceed 1,5 kg of laundry.

Precautions and tips  
! This washing machine was designed and  
GB  
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 washing machine must only be used by adults, in  
accordance with the instructions provided 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 open the detergent dispenser drawer while  
the machine is in operation.  
• 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.

Care and maintenance  
Cutting off the water and electricity  
supplies  
Cleaning the pump  
GB  
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.  
• 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  
during all maintenance work.  
! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug  
the appliance.  
Cleaning the washing machine  
To access the pre-chamber:  
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.  
1. using a screwdriver,  
remove the cover panel  
on the lower front part of  
the washing machine  
(see figure);  
Cleaning the detergent dispenser  
drawer  
Remove the dispenser  
by raising it and pulling it  
out (see figure).  
Wash it under running  
water; this operation  
should be repeated  
frequently.  
2. unscrew the lid by  
rotating it anti-clockwise  
(see figure): a little water  
may trickle out. This is  
perfectly normal;  
Caring for the door and drum of your  
appliance  
• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to  
prevent unpleasant odours from forming.  
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 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 washing machine does not  
drain or spin.  
• The wash cycle does not include draining: some wash cycles require  
the drain phase to be started manually.  
• The drain hose is bent (see “Installation”).  
• The drainage duct is clogged.  
The washing machine vibrates a  
lot during the spin cycle.  
• 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 washing machine leaks.  
• 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”).  
The "Functions" indicator lights  
and the "start/pause" indicator  
light flash, while one of the "phase  
in progress" indicator lights and  
the "door locked" indicator light  
will remain lit in a fixed manner.  
• 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.  
There is too much foam.  
• 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.
