4.Place a container close to the pump to
collect any spillage.
5. Release the emergency emptying hose,
place it in the container and remove its
cap.
6. When no more water comes out,
unscrew the pump and remove it.
Always keep a rag nearby to dry up
spillage of water when removing the
pump.
7. Remove any objects from the pump
impeller by rotating it.
8. Put the cap back on the emergency
emptying hose and place the latter
back in its seat.
9. Screw the pump fully in.

Warning!
When the appliance is in use and
depending on the programme selected
there can be hot water in the pump. Never
remove the pump cover during a wash
cycle, always wait until the appliance has
finished the cycle, and is empty. When
replacing the cover, ensure it is securely
retightened so as to stop leaks and young
children being able to remove it. 
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 blo\
cked.

32Care and cleaning 
1. Turn off the water tap.
2. Unscrew the hose from the tap.
3. Clean the filter in the hose with a stiff brush.
4. Screw the hose back onto the tap.
Frost precautions
If the machine is installed in a place where the
temperature could drop below 0°C, proceed as
follows:
1.Close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet hose from the tap.
2. Place the end of the emergency emptying hose and that of the inlet hose in a
bowl placed on the floor and let water drain out.
3. Screw the water inlet hose back on and reposition the emergency emptying
hose after having put the cap on again
.
By doing this, any water remaining in the machine is removed, avoiding ice
forming and consequently damage to the appliance.
When you use the machine again, make sure that the ambient temperature is
above 0°C.
Emergency emptying out
If the water is not discharged, proceed as follows to empty out the machine:
1.pull out the plug from the power socket; 
2. close the water tap; 
3. if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;
4. open the pump door;
5. place a bowl on the floor and place the end of the emergency emptying hose
into the bowl. Remove its cap. The water should drain by gravity into the
bowl. When the bowl is full, put the cap back on the hose. Empty the bow\
l.
Repeat the procedure until water stops flowing out;
6. clean the pump if necessary as previously described;
7. replace the emergency emptying hose in its seat after having plugged it;
8. screw the pump again and close the door.
Important! Every time you drain the water through the emergency emptying
hose you must pour 2 litres of water into the main wash compartment of the
detergent drawer and then run the drain programme. This will activate the ECO
VALVE device avoiding that part of the detergent remains unused at next
washing.

Unsatisfactory washing results:
Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been
used.
 Increase the detergent quantity or use another one.
Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to
washing.
 Use commercial products to treat the stubbornstains
.
The correct temperature was not selected.
 Check if you have selected the correct temperature.
Excessive laundry load.
 Reduce the laundry load.
What to do if...
Problem Possible cause/Solution
The machine fills then empties
immediately:The end of the drain hose is too low. 
 Refer to relevant paragraph in «water drainage»section.
The machine does not empty
and/or does not spin:
The drain hose is squashed or kinked. E20
 Check the drain hose connection.
The drain filter is clogged.
E20
 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.
 Select the draining or the spinning programme.
The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.
 Redistribute the laundry.
There is water on the floor:
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.
 Check the water inlet hose connection.
The drain hose is damaged.
 Replace it with a new one.

35What to do if...
Problem Cause possible/Solution
The door will not open:
The programme is still running.
 Wait the end of washing cycle.
The door lock has not been released.
 Wait until the symbol 7.5disappears.
There is water in the drum.
 Select draining or spinning programme to empty out the water.
The machine vibrates or is noisy:
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.
 Redistribute the laundry.
Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.
 Load more laundry.
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 some minutes, the laundry is still not
evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will not
spin.
 Redistribute the laundry.
No water is visible in the drum:
Machines based on modern technology operate very
economically using very little water without affecting
performance.
The machine makes an unusual
noise 
The machine is fitted with a type of motor which
makes a different noise compared 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 display shows the alarm code
EF0: :
Anti-flooding system has activated.
 Disconnect the appliance and contact the ServiceForce Centre

paragraph «Water inlet».
Positioning and levelling
Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not impeded by carpets,
rugs etc.
Before placing it on small tiles, apply a rubber coating.
Never try to correct any unevenness in the floor by putting pieces of wood,
cardboard or similar materials under the machine.
If it is impossible to avoid positioning the machine next to a gas cooke\
r or coal-
burning stove, an insulating panel covered with aluminium foil on the side facing
the cooker or stove, must be inserted between the two appliances.

The machine must not be installed in rooms where
the temperature can drop below 0. The water inlet
hose and the drain hose must not be kinked.
Please ensure that when the appliance is installed, it
is easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a
breakdown.
Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in or
out. Never place cardboard, wood or similar materi-
als under the machine to compensate for any unevenness 
in the floor.
Automatic foot:The rear foot on the left-hand side of your washing machine is
built as a shock absorbing foot, which is why the appliance gives in the\
 back left-
hand corner if put under load. The automatic foot guarantees that the appliance
does not move even at high spin speeds. Basically the automatic foot does not
need to be set.
Water inlet
An inlet hose is supplied and can be found inside the machine drum.
Do not use the hose from your previous machine to connect to the
water supply.
This appliance must be connected to a cold
water supply.
1. Open the porthole and extract the inlet hose.
2. Connect the hose with the angled connection to
the machine.
Do not place the inlet hose downwards. Angle
the hose to the left or right depending on the
position of your water tap.
3. 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.
4. Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4” thread. Always use the hose supplied with the appliance. 
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.
