Warnings

The following warnings are provided in the interests of overall safety. You must read them carefully before installing or using the appliance.

Installation

All internal packing must be removed before using the appliance. Serious damage may be caused to the machine or adjacent furniture if the protective transit devices are not removed or are not completely removed. Refer to the relevant paragraph in the instruction book. Any electrical work required to install this appliance must be carried out by a qualified electrician. Any plumbing work required to install this appliance must be carried out by a qualified plumber. After having installed the machine, check that it is not standing on its electrical supply cable. If the appliance is placed on a carpeted floor, ensure that air can circulate freely between the feet and the floor.
Leave the porthole door slightly ajar when the appliance is not in use. This preserves the door seal and prevents the formation of musty smells. Always check that water has emptied out before opening the door. If not, drain the water following the instructions in the instruction book. Always unplug the appliance and shut the water tap after use.

General safety

Repairs to the machine must be carried out only by qualified personnel. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons could cause serious danger. Contact your local Service Centre. Never pull the power supply cable to remove the plug from the socket; always take hold of the plug itself. During high temperature wash programmes the door glass may get hot. Do not touch it!

This appliance is designed for domestic use. It must not be used for purposes other than those for which it was designed. Only wash fabrics which are designed to be machine washed. Follow the instructions on each garment label. Do not overload the appliance. Follow the instructions in the instruction book. Make sure that all pockets are empty. Objects such as coins, safety pins, pins and screws can cause extensive damage. Do not machine wash garments saturated with petroleum, methylated spirits, trichlorethylene, etc. If such fluids have been used to remove stains prior to washing, wait until they have completely evaporated from the fabric before placing garments in the appliance. Place small items such as socks, belts, etc. in a cloth bag or pillowcase to prevent them getting trapped between the drum and the tub. Use only the recommended quantities of fabric softener. An excessive amount could damage the laundry.

Child safety

Children are often not aware of how dangerous electrical appliances can be. When the machine is working, children should be carefully supervised and not be allowed to play with the appliance. The packaging components (e.g. plastic film, polystyrene) can be dangerous to children - danger of suffocation! Keep them out of childrens reach.
Keep all detergents in a safe place out of childrens reach. Make sure that children or pets do not climb into the drum.

Disposal

Packaging materials
The materials marked with the symbol recyclable. >PE<=polyethylene >PS<=polystyrene >PP<=polypropylene This means that they can be recycled by disposing of them properly in appropriate collection containers. are

Machine

Use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance. Help to keep your country tidy!
Tips for environmental protection
To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these tips: Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!). The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded. With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature. Measure out detergent according to the water hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of laundry being washed.

When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the electrical supply cable and destroy the plug with the remaining cable. Disable the door catch in order to prevent children from becoming trapped inside while playing.

Unpacking

All transit bolts and packing must be removed before using 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. 1. Using a spanner, unscrew and remove the rear right-hand bolt and lay the machine on its back, taking care not to squash the hoses. This can be avoided by placing one of the corner packing pieces between the machine and the floor. 6. Set the machine upright and remove the two remaining bolts from the back. 7. Pull out the three plastic spacers from the holes into which the bolts were fitted.

Positioning

2. Remove the polystyrene base and take off the bottom panel by unscrewing the central screw. 3. Carefully remove the right-hand bag.
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. Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in or out. Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor.
4. Carefully slide out the other bags. 5. Re-fit the bottom panel using the 4 screws supplied with the door hinges (in the plastic bag) and the previously removed screw.
8. Plug the open holes with the plugs which you will find at the back of the appliance.

Water inlet

Connect the water inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4" thread after having inserted the small filter A supplied with the machine. The other end of the inlet hose which connects to the machine can be turned in any direction. Simply loosen the fitting, rotate the hose and retighten the fitting, making sure there are no water leaks.
The drain hose must not be kinked. Run it along the floor; only the part near the drainage point must be raised.

Electrical connection

This machine is designed to operate on a 220-230 V, single-phase, 50 Hz supply. Check that your domestic electrical installation can take the maximum load required (2.2 kW), also taking into account any other appliances in use. Connect the machine to an earthed socket. The manufacturer declines any responsibility for damage or injury through failure to comply with the above safety precaution. Should the appliance power supply cable need to be replaced, this should be carried out by our Service Centre.
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.

Water drainage

The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways: Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plastic hose guide supplied with the machine. 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.
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.

Building-in

This appliance has been designed to be built into the kitchen furniture. The recess should have the dimensions shown in picture A.

b) Hinges

To mount the hinges it is necessary to drill two holes (dia. 35 mm, depth 14 mm) on the inner side of the door. The distance between the holes must be 416 mm.

820 min

The required dimensions are given in the picture C. The hinges will be fixed to the door by means of screws for wood (2-Fig. B).

Preparation and assembly of the door

The machine is originally pre-arranged for the assembly of a door opening from right to left. In this case it is sufficient to screw in the hinges (1) and the counter-magnet (6) provided with the appliance, at the right level (Fig. B).

c) Mounting the door

Fix the hinges to the machine by means of the M5x8 screws (3-Fig. B). The hinges can be adjusted to compensate for possible uneven thickness of the door. To align the door perfectly it is necessary to loosen the screw (3-Fig. B), adjust the door and tighten the screw again.
a) Door The dimensions of the door should be: - width 595-598 mm - thickness 16-22 mm The height (C-Fig. C) depends on the height of the adjacent furniture's base.
The distance (B) from upper edge of the door to the centre of the hole depends on the adjacent furniture's dimensions.

d) Counter-magnet (6)

The appliance is pre-arranged for a magnetic closure of the door. To enable a correct operation of this device, it is necessary to screw the counter-magnet (6) (steel disk + rubber ring) into the inner side of the door. Its position must correspond to the magnet (4) on the appliance (see picture D).
If the door has to be opened from left to right, invert the position of the plates (7), the magnet (4) and the rubber cap (5) (Fig. B and E). Mount the countermagnet (6) and the hinges (1) as previously described.
Important: the plastic screw (8) should never be loosened (Fig. B and E). Please ensure that when the appliance is installed the power supply cable is easily accessible.

Your new washing machine

This new machine meets all modern requirements for effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy and detergent consumption. The temperature selector dial will allow you to choose the most suitable temperature for your laundry. The automatic cooling of the washing water from 90 to 60C before draining will prevent old drain pipes from being deformed.

for normally soiled white cottons and linen (e.g. tea cloths, towels, tablecloths, sheets.) for normally soiled, colour fast garments (e.g. shirts, night dresses, pyjamas.) in linen, cotton or synthetic fibres and for lightly soiled white cotton (e.g. underwear).
(cold)for delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed
30-40 laundry including synthetic fibres and
woollens bearing the label pure new wool, machine washable, non-shrink.
Removing stains 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. Make sure that no metal objects are left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins). Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes. Remove persistent stains before washing. 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. Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and detergent. 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. Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay the garment on a soft surface and dab the stain with the fingertips and a cotton cloth. 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). Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and fast coloureds only). Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone (*), lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain. Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat stains with methylated spirits. Remove any residual marks from white fabrics 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. 35

Maximum loads

Recommended loads are indicated in the programme charts. General rules: Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed; Synthetics: drum no more than half full; Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more than one third full. Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient use of water and energy. For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.

Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric first with acetone (*), then with acetic acid; treat any residual marks on white fabrics with bleach and then rinse thoroughly. Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated spirits or benzine, then rub with detergent paste. (*) do not use acetone on artificial silk.
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. 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 company, or from your local authority. Follow the product manufacturers instructions on quantities to use. Use less detergent if: you are washing a small load, the laundry is lightly soiled, large amounts of foam form during washing.

Detergents and additives

Good washing results also depend on the choice of detergent 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: powder detergents for all types of fabric, powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60C max) and woollens, liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature wash programmes (60C max) for all types of fabric, or special for woollens only. The detergent and any additives must be placed in the appropriate compartments of the dispenser drawer before starting the wash programme. If using concentrated powder or liquid detergents, a programme without prewash must be selected. The washing machine incorporates a recirculation system which allows an optimal use of the concentrated detergent. Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer compartment marked just before starting the programme. Any fabric softener or starching additives must be poured into the compartment marked before starting the wash programme. The bleaching agent (chlorine) can be used only for white or fast coloured cotton and linen items. Pour it into the compartment marked. Follow the product manufacturers recommendations on quantities to use and do not exceed the MAX mark in the detergent dispenser drawer.

Maintenance

1. Bodywork
Clean the outside of the machine with warm water and a neutral, non-abrasive household detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Important: do not use methylated spirits, solvents or similar products to clean the bodywork.

3. Drain filter

The drain filter collects threads and small objects inadvertently left in the laundry. Check regularly that the filter is clean. Place a container under the filter and unscrew it.
2. Detergent dispenser drawer
After a while, detergents and fabric softeners leave deposits in the drawer. Clean the drawer from time to time by rinsing it under a running tap. To remove the drawer from the machine, press the button in the rear left-hand corner. To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the additive compartments can be removed.
Pull out the filter. Clean the filter under a running tap, then refit it, screwing it fully in.

C0038 P0039 P0040

Detergent can also accumulate inside the drawer recess: clean it with an old toothbrush. Refit the drawer after cleaning.

4. Water inlet filter

If you notice that the machine is taking longer to fill, check that the filter in the water inlet hose is not blocked. Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the hose from the tap and remove the filter. Clean it with a stiff brush. Refit the filter and screw the hose back onto the tap.
5. Emergency emptying out
If the water is not discharged (outlet pump is blocked, filter or drain hose are clogged), proceed as follows to empty out the machine: pull out the plug from the power socket; close the water tap; if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down; place a bowl on the floor; put the drain hose end into the bowl and let the water come out. Should it not be possible to have access to the outlet hose because, for example, the appliance is built in the kitchen furniture, slightly loosen the outlet filter after placing a bowl on the floor, to let the water come out slowly. At the end screw the filter again.

6. Frost precautions

If the machine is installed in a place where the temperature could drop below 0C, proceed as follows: Close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet hose from the tap. Place the end of the drain hose and that of the inlet hose in a bowl placed on the floor. Select programme R and run it until the machine stops. Remove the plug from the socket. Screw the water inlet hose back on and put the drain hose back in its place. By doing this, any water remaining in the machine is removed, avoiding the formation of ice and, consequently, breakage of the affected parts. When you use the machine again, make sure that the ambient temperature is above 0C.
Problems which you can resolve yourself.

Problem

The machine does not start up:

Possible cause

The door is not firmly closed. The machine is not plugged in or there is no power at the socket. The main fuse has blown. The programme selector dial is not positioned correctly and the ON/OFF button has not been depressed.
The machine does not fill:
The water tap is closed. The inlet hose is squashed or kinked. The filter in the inlet hose is blocked. The door is not properly closed.
The machine fills then empties immediately: The machine does not empty and/or does not spin:
The end of the drain hose is too low. Refer to relevant paragraph in water drainage section. The drain hose is squashed or kinked. A programme which stops with water in drum has been selected. The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. The drain filter is clogged.
There is water on the floor:
Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent (creates too much foam) has been used. 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. The drain hose is damaged.
Unsatisfactory washing results:
Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used. Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing. The correct temperature was not selected. Excessive laundry load.
The machine vibrates or is noisy:
The transit bolts and packing have not been removed. The support feet have not been adjusted. The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum. The programme is still running. The door lock has not been released. There is water in the drum.

The door will not open:

Spinning starts late or the machine does not spin:
The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is redistributed by reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen several times before the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can resume. If, after 5 minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will not spin. In this case, redistribute the load manually and reselect the spin programme.
Water is not visible in the machine. The machine, which is the result of modern technology, runs in a very economical way with low water consumption. Performance is nevertheless excellent.
The machine makes an unusual noise. The machine is fitted with a commutator motor which improves machine performance.
