Cleaning the water inlet filters
If the appliance doesn't fill, takes long to fill water, the starting button blinks yellow or the
display (if available) shows the relevant alarm (see chapter "What to do if..." for more details),
check if the water inlet filters are blocked .
To clean the water inlet filters:
Care and cleaning21 
						

							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. Make sure the connection is tight.
5. Unscrew the hose from the machine. Keep
a rug nearby because some water may
flow.
6. Clean the filter in the valve with a stiff brush or with the piece of cloth.
7. Screw the hose back to the machine and make sure the connection is tight.
8. Turn on the water tap.
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 bowl22Care and cleaningDownloaded From WashingMachine-Manual.com Manual• 
						

							is full, put the cap back on the hose. Empty the bowl. 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.
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.
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 deter‐
gent remains unused at next washing.
What to do if… Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved
easily without calling out an engineer. Before contacting your local Service Centre, please
carry out the checks listed below.
During machine operation it is possible that the  yellow pilot light of button  8 blinks, one
of the following alarm codes appears on the display and at the same time some acoustic

24What to do if…Downloaded From WashingMachine-Manual.com Manual• 
						

							ProblemPossible cause/Solution
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 anoth‐
er 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.
• Change it with a new one.
The cap on the emergency emptying hose has
not been replaced or the filter has not been
properly screwed in after cleaning action.
• Put the cap back on the emergency emptying
hose or screw the filter fully in.
Unsatisfactory washing results:
Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has
been used.
• Increase the detergent quantity or use an‐ other one.
Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to
washing.
• Use commercial products to treat the stub‐ born stains.
The correct temperature was not selected.
• Check if you have selected the correct tem‐ perature.
Excessive laundry load.
• Introduce into the drum less laundry.
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 pilot light  10.2 has gone off.
There is water in the drum.
• Select drain or spin programme to empty out
the water.
The machine vibrates or is noisy:
The transit bolts and packing have not been re‐
moved.
• Check the correct installation of the appli‐ ance.
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.What to do if…25 
						

							ProblemPossible cause/Solution
Spinning starts late or the machine does not
spin:
The electronic unbalance detection device has
cut in because the laundry is not evenly distrib‐
uted in the drum. The laundry is redistributed
by reverse rotation of the drum. This may hap‐
pen several times before the unbalance disap‐
pears 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.
The load is too small.
• Add more items, redistribute the load man‐ ually and then select the spinning pro‐
gramme.
The machine makes an unusual noise:
The machine is fitted with a type of motor which
makes an unusual 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.
No water is visible in the drum:
Machines based on modern technology operate
very economically using very little water with‐
out affecting performance.
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 pur‐
chase date of your machine: the Service Centre
will require this information.

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 cooker or coalburning stove, an in‐
sulating 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°C.
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.Installation29 
						

							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.
Water inlet This appliance must be connected to a cold water supply.
1. Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4”
thread. Always use the hose supplied with
the appliance.
Do not use the hose from your previ‐
ous machine to connect to the water
supply.
2. The other end of the inlet hose which connects to the machine can be turned as
showed in the picture.
Do not place the inlet hose down‐
wards. 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.
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.
Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulations require‐
ments. A minimum water pressure of 0.05 MPa is required for safe operation of the appli‐
ance.
Before connecting up the machine to new pipework or to pipework that has not been used
for some time, run off a reasonable amount of water to flush out any debris that may have
collected in the pipes.
Water drainage The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:
1. 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.
