English
CONNECTION TO THE WATER MAINSLEVELATION
You will find the waterinput pipe inside the drum: a Connect the bent end of the pipe at the screw entrance of the electrically operated valve situated at the back of the machine. b Connect the other end of the tube to the water supply. Tighten the connection nut well. We recommend you have a fixed drainage exit at a distance of between 50 and 70 cm from the floor. Ensure that the drainage pipe is not too tight and that there are no folds or bottlenecks.
IMPORTANT It is important that the elbow of the pipe is properly fixed at the exit so that it doesnt fall, with the consequent risk of flooding. If your washing machine has an input for hot water, connect the tube with the red threading to the hot water tap and to the electrically operated valve with the red filter.

LEVELLING

Level the washing machine by using the adjustable feet. This will reduce the noise level and ensure that the machine will not move when in operation.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Consult the characteristics panel situated on the porthole door of the washing machine before making the electrical connections. Ensure that the voltage available at the base of the socket is the same as the voltage indicated on the panel. Do not remove the characteristics panel. It contains important information.
IMPORTANT It is very important to earth the washing machine properly. The electrical fittings, socket, plug, fuses or automatic switch and meter must be scaled for the maximum power indicated on the characteristics panel. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by one with the same reference number, only available from an authorised service centre.

PANELLING

It is easy to change the coating of the washing machine panels to match your kitchen furniture. These coating panels may not be thicker than 5 mm. a Loosen the screws of the hinges and dismantle the door of the washing machine. b Remove the lower protection frame, loosening the screws. Extract the panel that was supplied with the washing machine.

HOW TO USE THE MACHINE. PRACTICAL TIPS
PREPARING THE LAUNDRY BEFORE A WASH
Before putting the laundry in the drum, ensure that all the pockets are empty. Small objects can obstruct the motor pump for water discharge.
Sort your laundry according to material or makeup. We recommend
you use delicate programmes for delicate garments. Woollens may be washed in a special wool programme. IMPORTANT IMPORTANTE Please ensure that your woollen garments are machine washable before running the wool programme.

Pgina 87

Sort your laundry according to how soiled it is.
a Lightly soiled garments should preferably be washed in a short, cold programme. Normally soiled garments should be washed in a programme without pre-wash. Heavily soiled garments may be washed in a long programme with prewash.
IMPORTANT We remind you to load the washing machine at its maximum capacity.This will save water and energy. IWe recommend that you wash garments of different sizes in the same wash programme, if possible, in order to reinforce the washing effects. This also favours the distribution of the laundry inside the drum at the spinning stage, which will mean the machine will work more silently.
Sort your laundry according to the colours. Wash whites and coloureds separately.
USE OF DETERGENT AND ADDITIVES
Before you start the wash programme, introduce the detergent or additive in the detergent drawer. The detergent drawer of your washing machine has three compartments.
Pre-wash Compartment. Wash Compartment. Liquid Additive Compartment (softeners,)

IMPORTANT The liquid level should never exceed the MAX reference mark on the side of the drawer.

3/10/02 16:20

Pgina 88
You may also use liquid detergents with this washing machine, using the optional drawer that may be acquired through the Technical Support Network. The optional drawer should be placed in the wash compartment. Remember that the dose of detergent to be used always depends on G The amount of laundry to be washed. G How soiled the laundry is. G The hardness of the water (You can request information on the water hardness from the competent local entities).

ECOLOGICAL NOTE

Remember that there are concentrated detergents that are more careful with nature and the environment. Using more detergent than is needed does not improve the wash results and as well as being a waste of money, it has a negative effect on the preservation of the environment. Therefore, please follow the instructions supplied by the manufacturer of the detergent.

Pgina 89

SELECTING THE WASH PROGRAMME
There are four types of programme:
Normal programmes b Delicate programmes c Wool programmes d Auxiliary programmes
To select a wash programme, proceed as follow:

1. Switch the washing

After switching on the washing machine by pressing the master switch, select the desired options. When these are selected the corresponding light will go on next to each selection switch.
The wash options should always be selected after the wash programme has been chosen. If the programme is changed during the selection, the options previously selected will be cancelled out.
The following options are available: Button: Extra rinse
This increases the final rinse given to the clothes. It is suitable for large loads and for washing clothes for people with sensitive skin. It increases water consumption!

Button: wash time reduction
When this option is selected the programme time is reduced by up to a third (see programme table). If your washing machine has a display, the new time will appear when it is pressed.

Button: anti crease

This stops the cycle after the last rinse and the clothes remain wet. When the function is deactivated the washing machine continues the programme, draining and spinning. You can use it for example when you are not at home and you want to delay the spin dry until you arrive, to prevent the clothes becoming creased after spinning and being left in the drum.

If there is a power cut, when the electricity comes back the washing machine will continue to run from where it
G To reduce spindrying noise: level the washing machine using its adjustable legs. G Whenever possible, wash different-sized clothes together in the same wash programme, as this helps the distribution of the clothes in the drum when spinning. G Some models (those with a high spin speed) have a spin safety system which prevents spin-drying from taking place if the clothes are out of balance in the drum. This prevents excessive vibration or thumping. If the clothes should come out too wet, redistribute them uniformly in the drum and spin-dry again.
To protect the environment, your washing machine is provided with a system which enables it to adapt to the different conditions of use (load and fabric types). This means that during the wash process the amount of water you can see through the door will appear rather low, but this is nothing to worry about, as the degree of wash and rinse efficiency will be optimum.

Pgina 97

MAINTAINING AND CLEANING THE MACHINE
After each wash, leave the porthole door open for a while to let the air circulate freely inside the machine. Depending on the hardness of the water, we recommend running a complete wash cycle using a decalcifying product. This will prolong the life of your washing machine. IMPORTANT Before any cleaning or maintenance operations, we recommend you disconnect the washing machine from the electricity mains.
CLEANING THE DETERGENT DRAWER
You should clean the detergent drawer whenever you notice residues of any product inside it. a Fully extract the detergent drawer by pulling out the flap. b Clean the compartments in the drawer. Use warm water and a brush. c Also, clean the siphons in the additive drawer.
Replace the drawer in the washing machine. 97

Pgina 98

CLEANING THE ACCESSIBLE FILTER
Clean the accessible filter whenever the drainage pump is blocked by foreign bodies. a Loosen the base by gently pulling on the sides and turning downwards. Then undo the fasteners. If there is no side access, introduce a small screwdriver in the three slots on the upper part of the base, in order to lever it and loosen the hooks. b Use a plate or other container under the filter to collect the water that will be released when it is loosened. c Turn the filter a quarter- or halfway sideways towards the left. Water will start to come out. d When you are finished taking the water out of the washing machine, turn the filter around several times until you can take it out fully. e Remove any objects or fluff that may be in the filter. f Replace the filter and the base in their places.

IMPORTANT In order to avoid burns, this operation should not be carried out when the wash water temperature is over 30C.

Pgina 99

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE MACHINE
In order to clean the outside of the washing machine, use warm soapy water or a soft, non-abrasive cleaning agent that does not contain solvents. Then dry it well with a soft cloth.

SAFETY AND TROUBLESHOOTING
If you detect a problem when using your washing machine, you may be able to solve it after consulting the following troubleshooting tips. If you cannot find the solution, disconnect the machine and contact the TECHNICAL SUPPORT SERVICE IMPORTANT Please do not open the machine under any circumstances.There is no fuse or similar component inside that may be replaced by the user.
Why doesnt the washing machine start working?
Perhaps There is no voltage in the electricity mains. The fuses of the electrical fittings are blown. The washing machine is not connected to the electricity mains. You didnt press the on/off button(this buttons light should be on) The programme selector dial is not out. The door of the washing machine isnt closed properly. When this is detected, the displays that show prewash or end flash and F04 appears on the display of the washing machine. Then you should check if the door is open and close it properly.
Why does the washing machine vibrate or make too much noise?
Perhaps: The internal fastening screws were not removed. The washing machine is not level.

Pgina 101

Why doesnt the washing machine fill with water?
When this fault is detected, the Wash and Rinse displays will flash in turn. If your washing machine has a display, it will show F01. This water input fault could be due to an interruption in the water supply, water input tap or because the water input filter on the washing machine is blocked. Therefore, you should take the following steps: wait until the water supply starts again, open the water input tap or loosen the water input pipe and clean its filter.
Why doesnt the washing machine drain or spin?
When this fault is detected, the Rinse and End displays will flash in turn. If your washing machine has a display, it will show F02. Possible reasons for this fault may be: obstruction in the drain motor pump in the washing machine, obstruction in the drainage piping of the building or incorrect electrical connection of the motor pump. Action: if the reason for the fault is an obstruction in the motor-pump, follow the steps in section 2. Maintaining and cleaning the machine.

Why doesnt the washing machine spin the clothes?
When this fault is detected, the Pre-wash and Wash displays will flash in turn. If your washing machine has a display, it will show F03. This fault occurs because the laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum, which can cause too much vibration. Solution: return to the spin stage.
Is it better to put the detergent in the drawer or directly in the drum?
The use of detergent tablets that go directly into the drum is increasingly common. These tablets wash well and do not damage the laundry. However, other powder and liquid detergents contain aggressive components that may damage clothes if applied directly to the garments. In this case, we recommend you use the drawer 101

Pgina 102

Why cant I see water in the drum?
This could be because the washing machine has a system that allows it to adapt to the laundry load and the type of material, adjusting the water level and the energy used with a view to preserving the environment. This means that during the wash process, although the amount of water you can see through the porthole door may seem low, there is no need to worry. The wash and rinse will be highly efficient.
Why is water coming out of the drawer?
Perhaps the drawer or dispenser needs cleaning. This simple operation is described in Maintaining and cleaning the machine; 1- Cleaning the detergent drawer; page 21.
Why cant I open the porthole door immediately after the wash ends?
Modern washing machines are equipped with safety systems to protect users. One of these is that it is not possible to open the washing machine until the drum has come to a complete halt. That is why it takes about 2 minutes before you can open the porthole door.

Other faults

The washing machine is able to detect other faults. When this happens, all the displays for the various wash stages will flash or different errors will appear on the display, F05, F06.,F10. These faults may be due to very diverse causes. Solution: call the OFFICIAL TECHNICAL SUPPORT SERVICE
