Installation
2. If the floor is not perfectly level, compensate 
for any unevenness by tightening or loosening 
the adjustable front feet (see figure); the angle 
of inclination, measured according to the 
worktop, must not exceed 2°.
Levelling your appliance correctly will provide 
it with stability and avoid any vibrations, noise 
and shifting during operation. If it is placed on 
a fitted or loose carpet, adjust the feet in such 
a way as to allow enough room for ventilation 
beneath the washing machine.
Electric and water connections
Connecting the water inlet hose
1. Connect the supply 
pipe by screwing it to 
a cold water tap using 
a 3/4 gas threaded 
connection (see 
figure). 
Before performing 
the connection, allow 
the water to run freely 
until it is perfectly 
clear.
2. Connect the other 
end of the water inlet 
hose to the washing 
machine, 
screwing it onto the 
appliance’s cold water 
inlet, situated on the 
top right-hand side 
on the rear of the 
appliance (see figure).
3. Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the 
hose.
! The water pressure at the tap must be within 
the values indicated in the Technical details 
table (on the page 5).
! If the water inlet hose is not long enough, 
contact a specialist store or an authorised 
serviceman.
! Ensure that the supply taps are allowing 
water through. Old taps may seize in the 
closed position and thus prevent water 
reaching the machine.
! Never use second-hand or old inlet hoses; 
use the products supplied with the machine.
! Keep this instruction manual in a safe place 
for future reference. Should the appliance be 
sold, transferred or moved, make sure the 
instruction manual accompanies the washing 
machine to inform the new owner as to its 
operation and features.
! Read these instructions carefully: they contain 
vital information on installation, use and safety.
Unpacking and levelling
Unpacking
! This is a separate 
part of the polystyrene 
base and should be 
removed with the 
base.
! IMPORTANT check 
when unpacking 
your machine.
1. Unpack the washing 
machine.
2. Check whether the 
washing machine has 
been damaged during 
transport. If this is the 
case, do not install 
it and contact your 
retailer.
3. Remove the 4 
protective screws and the rubber bush with 
the respective spacer, situated on the rear of 
the appliance (see also the installation leaflet).
4. Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided.
5. Keep all the parts: you will need them again 
if the washing machine needs to be moved to 
another location.
! Packaging materials are not children’s toys.
Levelling
Your machine may make a considerable 
amount of noise if the two front feet have not 
been adjusted correctly.
1. Install the washing 
machine on a flat sturdy 
floor, without resting it up 
against walls, cabinets 
or anything else.   
						

							3
GBConnecting the drain hose
 
Connect the drain 
hose, without bending 
it, to a draining 
duct or a wall drain 
situated between 65 
and 100 cm from the 
floor;
The drain hose may 
be connected to 
an under-sink trap. 
Before connecting 
the drain hose from 
the machine ensure 
that any blanks or 
removable ends have 
been taken off the 
spigot. 
If it is placed over 
the edge of a basin 
or sink be sure 
the free end of the 
hose should not be 
underwater.
 
! We advise against the use of hose extensions; 
in case of absolute need, the extension must 
have the same diameter as the original hose 
and must not exceed 150 cm in length.
Ensure that if the drain hose is pushed into 
a standpipe, that the end does not go down 
more than 15cms (6 inches). If the hose is 
pushed down too far, this may cause the 
machine to self -syphon ie. continuously empty 
as it is filling.
Electric connection
Before plugging the appliance into the mains 
socket, make sure that:
• the socket is earthed and in compliance with 
the applicable law;
• the socket is able to sustain the appliance’s 
maximum power load indicated on the 
Technical Data Plate fixed on the machine;
•   the supply voltage is included within the 
values indicated on the Technical Data Plate 
fixed on the machine.
•  the socket is compatible with the washing 
machine’s plug. If this is not the case, 
replace the socket or the plug.
Your appliance is now supplied with a 13 amp 
fused plug it can be plugged into a 13 amp 
socket for immediate use. Before using the 
appliance please read the instructions below.
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE 
EARTHED.
THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD  
BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED 
ELECTRICIAN.
Replacing the fuse:
When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA 
approved fuse to BS 1362 should always be 
used, and the fuse cover re-fitted. If the fuse 
cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a 
replacement is obtained.
Replacement fuse covers:
If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must 
be of the correct colour as indicated by 
the coloured marking or the colour that is 
embossed in words on the base of the plug. 
Replacements can be obtained directly from 
your nearest Service Depot.
Removing the plug:
If your appliance has a non-rewireable 
moulded plug and you should wish to re-route 
the mains cable through partitions, units etc., 
please ensure that either:
the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere 
rewireable plug bearing the BSI mark of 
approval. 
or:
the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 
amp cable outlet, controlled by a switch, (in 
compliance with BS 5733) which is accessible 
without moving the appliance.
Disposing of the plug:
Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself, 
you make the pins unusable so that it cannot 
be accidentally inserted into a socket.

Care and maintenance 
Cutting off the water and 
electricity supplies
• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle. 
This will limit wear on the hydraulic system 
inside the washing machine and help to 
prevent leaks.
• Unplug the washing machine when cleaning 
it and during all maintenance work.
Cleaning the washing machine
•  The outer parts and rubber components 
of the appliance can be cleaned using a soft 
cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not 
use solvents or abrasives. 
•  The washing machine has a auto clean 
programme for its internal parts that must be 
run with no load in the drum.
To help the wash cycle 
you may want to use 
either the detergent 
(i.e. a quantity 10% 
the quantity specified 
for lightly-soiled 
garments) or special 
additives to clean the 
washing machine. We 
recommend running a 
cleaning programme every 40 wash cycles.
To start the programme press buttons A and 
B simultaneously for 5 seconds (see figure).
The programme will start automatically and will 
run for about 70 minutes. To stop the cycle 
press the START/PAUSE button.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser 
drawer
Remove the dispenser 
by raising it and 
pulling it out (see 
figure).
Wash it under running 
water; this operation 
should be repeated 
frequently.

Caring for the door and drum of 
your appliance
• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order 
to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.
Cleaning the pump
The washing machine is fitted with a self-
cleaning pump which does not require any 
maintenance. Sometimes, small items (such as 
coins or buttons) may fall into the pre-chamber 
which protects the pump, situated in its bottom 
part.
 
!  Make sure the wash cycle has finished and 
unplug the appliance.
To access the pre-chamber:
1. using a 
screwdriver, remove 
the cover panel on 
the lower front part of 
the washing machine 
(see figure);
2. unscrew the lid 
by rotating it anti-
clockwise (see figure): 
a little water may 
trickle out. This is 
perfectly normal;
3. clean the inside thoroughly;
4. screw the lid back on;
5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks 
are securely in place before you push it onto 
the appliance.
Checking the water inlet hose
Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If 
there are any cracks, it should be replaced 
immediately: during the wash cycles, water 
pressure is very strong and a cracked hose 
could easily split open.
! Never use second-hand hoses.

•  If the appliance breaks down, do not under any 
circumstances access the internal mechanisms in an 
attempt to repair it yourself.
• Always keep children well away from the appliance while 
it is operating.
• The door can become quite hot during the wash cycle.
• If the appliance has to be moved, work in a group of two 
or three people and handle it with the utmost care. Never 
try to do this alone, because the appliance is very heavy.
• Before loading laundry into the washing machine, make 
sure the drum is empty.
Disposal
• Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local 
regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.
•  The European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical 
and Electronic Equipment, requires that old household 
electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the 
normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances 
must be collected separately in order to optimise the 
recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and 
reduce the impact on human health and the environment. 
The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product 
reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of 
the appliance it must be separately collected. Consumers 
should contact their local authority or retailer for information 
concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.

In the event that it is not possible to open the porthole 
door due to a powercut, and if you wish to remove the 
laundry, proceed as follows:
1. remove the plug from the 
electrical socket.
2. make sure the water level 
inside the machine is lower 
than the door opening; if 
it is not, remove excess 
water using the drain hose, 
collecting it in a bucket as 
indicated in the figure.
3. using a screwdriver, 
remove the cover panel on 
the lower front part of the 
washing machine (see figure).
4. pull outwards using the tab as indicated in the figure, 
until the plastic tie-rod is freed from its stop position; pull

the maximum load value indicated in the table of 
programmes and wash cycles on the following page.
3. MEASURE OUT THE DETERGENT. Pull out the 
detergent dispenser drawer and pour the detergent into 
the relevant compartments as described in “Detergents 
and laundry”.
4. CLOSE THE DOOR.
5. SELECT THE WASH CYCLE. Use the WASH CYCLE 
SELECTOR knob to select the desired wash cycle. A 
temperature and spin speed is set for each wash cycle; 
these values may be adjusted. The duration of the cycle 
will appear on the display.
6. CUSTOMISE THE WASH CYCLE. Use the relevant 
buttons:
 Modify the temperature and/or spin speed. 
The machine automatically displays the maximum 
temperature and spin speed values set for the selected 
cycle, or the most recently-used settings if they are 
compatible with the selected cycle. The temperature 
can be decreased by pressing the  button, until 
the cold wash “OFF” setting is reached. The spin 
speed may be progressively reduced by pressing 
the  button, until it is completely excluded (the 
“OFF” setting). If these buttons are pressed again, the 
maximum values are restored. 
! Exception: if the 3 programme is selected, the 
temperature can be increased up to a value of 90°C.
Setting a delayed start.
To set a delayed start for the selected cycle, press the

Set the desired wash intensity (SMART option).
Performance +: a 30-minute intermediate phase is 
added in which soaking and mechanical-action phases 
alternate at constant temperature. During this phase 
the dirt softening and removal action is boosted, thus 
increasing washing performance up to 15%. (Tests 
performed on main cotton and synthetics cycles at 
external certifying lab.) 
Auto +: the machine will recognise the laundry 
load from the very first minutes of washing and will 
constantly monitor the proper water level needed in the 
different phases (rinsing included). As a consequence 
the duration of the selected cycle will change based 
on these parameters and on selected settings, thus 
ensuring the desired washing performance. 
Speed +: if you select this option, the wash cycle 
duration will be reduced by up to 50% depending on 
the selected cycle, thereby guaranteeing simultaneous 
water and energy saving. Use this cycle for lightly soiled
