2. LOAD THE LAUNDRY. Open the porthole door.  
Load the laundry, making sure you do not exceed  
the maximum load value indicated in the table of  
programmes and wash cycles on the following page.  
! The options may affect the recommended load value  
and/or the duration of the cycle.  
3. MEASURE OUT THE DETERGENT. Pull out the  
detergent dispenser drawer and pour the detergent into  
the relevant compartments as described in “Detergents  
and laundry”.  
7. START THE WASH CYCLE. Press the START/

(the “OFF” setting). If these buttons are pressed again,  
the maximum values are restored.  
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.  
Setting a DELAY TIMER.  
To set a DELAY TIMER for the selected cycle, press the  
corresponding button repeatedly until the required delay  
period has been reached. When this option has been

Special wash cycles  
Jeans: turn the garments inside out before washing and  
use liquid detergent. Use wash cycle 6.  
Shirts: use special wash cycle 7 to wash shirts in various  
fabrics and colours.  
It guarantees maximum care is taken of the garments and  
minimises the formation of creases.  
MixCool 30’: this wash cycle was designed to wash  
lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 30 minutes  
and therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting  
wash cycle 8, it is possible to wash different fabrics  
(except for wool and silk items) using a cold cycle, up to  
a maximum load of 3 kg.  
AUS  
Successful 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.  
! Do not use hand washing detergents; they create too  
much foam.  
Open the detergent  
dispenser drawer and pour

Wool: wash cycle 9 can be used to wash all woollen  
garments in the machine, even those carrying the “hand  
2
wash only”  
label. To achieve the best results, use a  
special detergent and do not exceed the maximum load of  
2 kg.  
Silk: use special wash cycle 10 to wash all silk garments.  
We recommend the use of special detergent which has  
been designed to wash delicate clothes.  
Compartment 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder)  
Before pouring in the detergent, make sure that extra  
compartment 4 has been removed.  
Compartment 2: Washing detergent (powder or  
liquid)  
Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately  
prior to the start of the wash cycle.  
Compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)  
The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.  
Extra compartment 4: Bleach  
Curtains: we recommend you fold the curtains and place  
them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle 10.  
Duvet: to wash double or single duvets (the weight  
of which should not exceed 3 kg), cushions or clothes  
padded with goose down such as puffa jackets, use the  
special wash cycle number 11 “Duvet”. 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.  
Extra compartment 5: we recommend this  
compartment is used for liquid detergent.  
To achieve the best results, we recommend that a  
liquid detergent is used and placed inside the detergent  
dispenser drawer.  
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. 8,5 kg  
Synthetic fabrics: max. 3,5 kg  
Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg  
Wool: max. 2 kg  
Silk: max. 2 kg  
Outwear (wash cycle 12): is studied for washing water-  
repellent fabrics and winter jackets (e.g. Gore-Tex,  
polyester, nylon); for best results, use a liquid detergent  
and dosage suitable for a half-load; pre-treat necks,  
cuffs and stains if necessary; do not use softeners or  
detergents containing softeners. Stuffed duvets cannot  
be washed with this programme.  
Sport Shoes (wash cycle 13): is for washing sports  
shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs  
simultaneously.  
How much does your laundry weigh?  
1 sheet 400-500 g  
1 pillow case 150-200 g

Precautions and tips  
! This washing 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.  
AUS  
General safety  
• This appliance was designed for domestic use only.  
• 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 supervised to ensure that they do not  
play with the appliance.  
• 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 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.

Troubleshooting  
Your washing machine could occasionally fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Service (see “ Service”),  
make sure that the problem cannot be not solved easily using the following list.  
AUS  
Problem:  
Possible causes / Solutions:  
The washing machine does not  
switch on.  
• The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or not enough to make  
contact.  
• There is no power in the house.  
The wash cycle does not start.  
• The washing machine door is not closed properly.  
• The ON/OFF button has not been pressed.  
• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.  
• The water tap has not been opened.  
• A DELAY TIMER has been set.  
The washing machine does not fill • The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap.

on the display).  
• The water tap has not been opened.  
• There is no water supply in the house.  
• The pressure is too low.  
• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.  
The washing machine  
continuously takes in and drains  
water.  
• The drain hose is not fitted at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor  
(see “Installation”).  
• The free end of the hose is under water (see “Installation”).  
• 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 Technical 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 prevent this inconvenience.  
• The wash cycle does not include draining: some cycles require the draining  
process to be enabled manually.  
• The EASY IRON option is enabled: To complete the wash cycle, press the  
START/PAUSE button (see “Wash cycles and options”).  
• The drain hose is bent (see “Installation”).  
The washing machine does not  
drain or spin.  
• The drainage duct is clogged.  
The washing machine vibrates a  
lot during the spin cycle.
