Helpful hints and tips
Rub particularly soiled areas with a special detergent or
detergent paste.
Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or tie them
up in a bag or net.
Sorting out the laundry
Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label and
the manufacturer’s washing instructions. Sort the laundry
as follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, wool-
lens.
Removing stains
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and de-
tergent. It is therefore advisable to treat them prior to
washing.
Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried stains,
soak overnight in water with a special detergent then rub
in the soap and water.
Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain remover, lay
the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain; treat several
times.
Before loading the laundry
Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites may
lose their «whiteness» in the wash.
New coloured items may run in the first wash; they should
therefore be washed separately the first time.
Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and
poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.
Remove persistent stains before washing.
8
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay the gar-
ment on a soft surface and dab the stain with the fingertips
and a cotton cloth.
• powder detergents for all types of fabric
• powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C max) and
woollens
Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust removing
product used cold. Be careful with rust stains which are
not recent since the cellulose structure will already have
been damaged and the fabric tends to hole.
Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whites and fast
coloureds only).
• liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature wash
programmes (60°C max) for all types of fabric, or spe-
cial for woollens only.
The detergent and any additives must be placed in the ap-
propriate compartments of the dispenser drawer before
starting the wash programme.
If using liquid detergents, a programme without prewash
must be selected.
Your appliance incorporates a recirculation system which
allows an optimal use of the concentrated detergent.
Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations on
quantities to use and do not exceed the «MAX» mark in
the detergent dispenser drawer.
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and fast
coloureds only).
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone1), lay the
garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat stains
with methylated spirits. Treat any residual marks with
bleach.
Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and treat with
acetic or citric acid, then rinse. Treat any residual marks
with bleach.
Quantity of detergent to be used
The type and quantity of detergent will depend on the type
of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and hardness of the
water used.
Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on quanti-
ties to use.
Use less detergent if:
• you are washing a small load
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric first
with acetone1), then with acetic acid; treat any residual
marks on white fabrics with bleach and then rinse thor-
oughly.
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated spirits
or benzine, then rub with detergent paste.
• the laundry is lightly soiled
• large amounts of foam form during washing.
Detergents and additives
Good washing results also depend on the choice of deter-
gent and use of the correct quantities to avoid waste and
protect the environment.
Although biodegradable, detergents contain substances
which, in large quantities, can upset the delicate balance
of nature.
The choice of detergent will depend on the type of fabric
(delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the colour, washing
temperature and degree of soiling.
All commonly available washing machine detergents may
be used in this appliance:
Degrees of water hardness
Water hardness is classified in so-called “degrees” of
hardness. Information on hardness of the water in your
area can be obtained from the relevant water supply com-
pany, or from your local authority. If the water hardness
degree is medium or high we suggest you to add a water
softener following always the manufacturer’s instructions.
When the degree of hardness is soft, readjust the quantity
of the detergent.
1) do not use acetone on artificial silk

Problem
Possible cause/Solution
The water tap is closed (the button 5 red light blinks).
• Open the water tap.
The inlet hose is squashed or kinked (the button 5 red light blinks).
• Check the inlet hose connection.
The filter in the inlet hose or the inlet valve filter are blocked (the button 5 red
light blinks).
The machine does not fill:
• Clean the water inlet filters. (See ‘Cleaning the water inlet filters’ for more
details).
The door is not properly closed (the button 5 red light blinks).
• Close the door firmly.
The drain hose is squashed or kinked (the button 5 red light blinks).
• Check the drain hose connection.
The drain filter is clogged (the button 5 red light blinks).
• Clean the drain filter.
An option or a programme that ends with the water still in the tub or a that
eliminates all the spinning phases has been selected.
The machine does not empty and/or
does not spin:
• Select the draining or spinning programme.
The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.
• Redistribute the laundry.
Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent (creates too much foam) has been
used.
• Reduce the detergent quantity or use another one.
Check whether there are any leaks from one of the inlet hose fittings. It is not
always easy to see this as the water runs down the hose; check to see if it is
damp.
There is water on the floor:
• Check the water inlet hose connection.
The drain or inlet hose is damaged.
• Replace it with a new one.

14
Problem
Possible cause/Solution
The programme is still running.
• Wait the end of washing cycle.
The door lock has not been released.
• Wait a few minutes before opening the door.
There is water in the drum.
The door will not open:
• Select drain or spin programme to empty out the water.
The transit bolts and packing have not been removed.
• Check the correct installation of the appliance.
The support feet have not been adjusted
• Check the correct levelling of the appliance.
The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.
The machine vibrates is noisy:
• Redistribute the laundry.
Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.
• Load more laundry.
The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the laundry is
not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is redistributed by reverse rota-
tion of the drum. This may happen several times before the unbalance disap-
pears and normal spinning can resume. If, after 10 minutes, the laundry is still
not evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will not spin. In this case, re-
distribute the load manually and select the spin programme.
Spinning starts late or the machine
does not spin:
• Redistribute the laundry.
The load is too small.
• Add more items, redistribute the load manually and then select the spinning
programme.
The machine is fitted with a type of motor which makes an unusual noise com-
pared with other traditional motors. This new motor ensures a softer start and
more even distribution of the laundry in the drum when spinning, as well as
increased stability of the machine.
The machine makes an unusual
noise:
Machines based on modern technology operate very economically using very
little water without affecting performance.
No water is visible in the drum:
If you are unable to identify or solve the problem, contact
our service centre. Before telephoning, make a note of the
model, serial number and purchase date of your machine:
the Service Centre will require this information.

Emergency emptying out
If the appliance cannot drain the water, proceed as follows
to empty out the machine:
Installation
Unpacking
All transit bolts and packing must be removed before us-
ing the appliance.
You are advised to keep all transit devices so that they can
be refitted if the machine ever has to be transported again.
Unscrew the three bolts.

Connect the hose to a tap
with a 3/4” thread. Always
use the hose supplied with
the appliance.
Positioning
Install the machine on a flat hard floor. Make sure that air
circulation around the machine is not impeded by carpets,
rugs etc. Check that the machine does not touch the wall
or other kitchen units. Level the washing machine by rais-
ing or lowering the feet. The feet may be tight to adjust as
they incorporate a self locking nut, but the machine MUST
be level and stable.
Any necessary adjustment can be made with a spanner.
Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and displace-
ment of the machine during operation. Never place card-
board, wood or similar materials under the machine to
compensate for any unevenness in the floor.

The other end of the inlet hose which connects to the
appliance can be turned as showed in the picture.
Do not place the inlet hose downwards. Angle the hose
to the left or right depending on the position of your
water tap. Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring
nut. After positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten
the ring nut again to prevent leaks.
If necessary, check the
setting with a spirit level.
Caution! The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it
is too short and you do not wish to move the tap,
you will have to purchase a new, longer hose specially
designed for this type of use.
Rubber feet kit
Available from your authorized dealer.
The rubber feet are particularly recommended on floating,
slippery and wooden floors.
Water drainage
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:
Mount the rubber feet to prevent vibration, noises and dis-
placement of the appliance during operation.
Read carefully the instructions supplied with the kit.

Hooked over the edge of a
sink using the plastic hose
guide supplied with the
machine.
In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must be above
the trap so that the bend is at least 60 cm above the
ground.
Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less than 60
cm and not more than 90 cm. The end of the drain hose
must always be ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the
drain pipe must be larger than the outside diameter of
the drain hose. The drain hose must not be kinked.
In this case, make sure the end cannot come unhooked
when the machine is emptying. This could be done by
tying it to the tap with a piece of string or attaching it to
the wall.
Electrical connection
Information on the electrical connection is given on the
rating plate on the inner edge of the appliance door.
Check that your domestic electrical installation can take
the maximum load required, also taking into account any
other appliances in use.
Caution! The power supply cable must be easily
accessible after installing the machine.
Caution! Should the appliance power supply cable
need to be replaced, this must be carried out by a
Service Centre.
Caution! Connect the machine to an earthed socket.
Caution! The manufacturer does not accept any
responsibility for damage or injury through failure
to comply with the above safety precaution.

lower temperature.
Ecological hints
To save water, energy and to help protect the environment,
we recommend that you follow these tips:
• Measure out detergent according to the water hard-
ness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of laundry
being washed.
• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without pre-
washing in order to save detergent, water and time (the
environment is protected too!).
• The machine works more economically if it is fully loa-
ded.
