1) Test wash cycle in compliance with directive 1061/2010: set wash cycle 3 with a temperature of 60°C. This cycle is designed for cotton loads with a normal soil level and is the most efficient in terms of both electricity and water consumption; it should be used for garments which can be washed at 60°C. The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated value. 2) Test wash cycle in compliance with directive 1061/2010: set wash cycle 4 with a temperature of 40°C. This cycle is designed for cotton loads with a normal soil level and is the most efficient in terms of both electricity and water consumption; it should be used for garments which can be washed at 40°C. The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated value.
For all Test Institutes:2) Long wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle 4 with a temperature of 40°C.3) Long wash cycle for synthetics: set wash cycle 5 with a temperature of 40°C.
Easy Iron
By selecting this function, the wash and spin cycles will be 
modified in order to reduce the formation of creases. 
At the end of the cycle the washing machine will perform 
slow rotations of the drum; the “Easy Iron” and START/
PAUSE indicator lights will flash (orange) and the text “END 
OF CYCLE” will appear on the display. To end the cycle, 
press the START/PAUSE button or the “Easy Iron” button.
* If you select programme  and exclude the spin cycle, the machine will drain only. The length of cycle shown on the display or in this booklet is an estimation only and is calculated assuming standard working conditions. The actual duration can vary accor-ding to factors such as water temperature and pressure, the amount of detergent used, the amount and type of load inserted, load balancing and any wash options selected.

Detergents and laundry
Detergent dispenser drawer
Successful washing results also depend on the correct 
dose of detergent: adding too much detergent will not 
necessarily result in a more efficient wash, and may in 
fact cause build up on the inside of your appliance and 
contribute to environmental pollution. 
! Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for pre-
washing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C.
! Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging.
! Do not use hand washing detergents; they create too 
much foam.
Open the detergent 
dispenser drawer and pour 
in the detergent or washing 
additive, as follows.
! Do not pour detergent into 
the middle compartment (*). 
Detergent should only be 
poured into the compartment 1.
compartment 1: Detergent for the wash cycle 
(powder or liquid)
If liquid detergent is used, it is recommended that the 
removable plastic partition A (supplied) be used for proper 
dosage.
If powder detergent is used, place the partition into slot B.
compartment 2: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.
Preparing the laundry
• Divide the laundry according to:
 - the type of fabric/the symbol on the label
 - the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.
• Empty all garment pockets and check the buttons.
• Do not exceed the values listed in the “Table of wash cycles”, 
which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry.
How much does your laundry weigh?
  1 sheet 400-500 g
 1 pillow case 150-200 g
 1 tablecloth 400-500 g
 1 bathrobe 900-1,200 g
 1 towel 150-250 g
Special wash cycles
Anti Stain: the programme 1 is suitable to heavily-soiled 
garments with resistant colours. It ensures a washing 
class that is higher than the standard class (A class). When 
running the programme, do not mix garments of different 
colours. We recommend the use of powder detergent. 
Pre-treatment with special additives is recommended if 
there are obstinate stains.
Whites: use this cycle 2 to wash white clothes. The 
programme is designed to maintain the brightness of white 
clothes over time. Use powder detergent for best results.

*
Anti Allergy Plus: use programme 6 to remove major 
allergens such as pollen, mites, cat’s and dog’s hair.
Baby: use the special wash cycle 7 to remove the soiling 
typically caused by babies, while removing all traces of 
detergent from nappies in order to prevent the delicate 
skin of babies from suffering allergic reactions. The cycle 
has been designed to reduce the amount of bacteria by 
using a greater quantity of water and optimising the effect 
of special disinfecting additives added to the detergent. 
Bed & Bath: use programme 8 to wash bed linen 
and towels in one single cycle: it optimises softener 
performance and helps you save time and energy. We 
recommend the use of powder detergent.
Cotton Standard 20°C: use this cycle 11 for lightly soiled 
cotton loads. The effective performance levels achieved 
at cold temperatures, which are comparable to washing 
at 40°, are guaranteed by a mechanical action which 
operates at varying speed, with repeated and frequent 
peaks.
Shirts: use the special 12 wash cycle to wash shirts in 
different fabrics and colours to guarantee they receive the 
best possible care.
Wool: the wool wash cycle of this machine has been 
approved by The Woolmark Company for the washing of 
wool garments labelled as “hand wash” provided that the 
products are washed according to the instructions on the 
garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this 
washing machine (M1127)  
Delicates: use programme 14 to wash very delicate 
garments having strasses or sequins. 
We recommend turning the garments inside out before 
washing and placing small items into the special bag 
for washing delicates. Use liquid detergent on delicate 
garments for best results.
Load balancing system
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations 
before every spin and to distribute the load in a uniform 
manner, the drum rotates continuously at a speed which 
is slightly greater than the washing rotation speed. If, 
after several attempts, the load is not balanced correctly, 
the machine spins at a reduced spin speed. If the load is 
excessively unbalanced, the washing machine performs 
the distribution process instead of spinning. To encourage 
improved load distribution and balance, we recommend 
small and large garments are mixed in the load.

Troubleshooting
Your washing machine could occasionally fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Service (see “ Service”), 
make sure that the problem cannot be solved easily using the following list.
Problem:
The machine does not switch on.
The wash cycle does not start.
The machine does not fill with 
water or ‘H20’ flashes in the 
display.
The machine continuously fills with 
water and continually drains away
or Water left in the drum
or Stuck on wash.
The machine does not drain or spin 
- (error lights flashing).
The machine does spin.
The machine does not heat or poor 
wash results.
The programme takes too long.
The Display sticks at one ‘time to 
end’  for more than 1 Minute or the  
Display changes the estimated ‘Time 
to End’ during the programme.
The machine vibrates a lot during 
the spin cycle.
Possible causes / Solutions:
• The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or not enough to make contact.
• There is no power to the socket, or the fuse has blown in the mains plug.
• The door is not closed properly.
• The ON/OFF button has not been pressed.
• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.
• The water tap has not been turned on to allow water to flow into the machine.
• A delayed start has been set.
• The water inlet hose is kinked.
• The water inlet hose is not connected to the water supply.
• The water pressure is too low.
• The water tap has not been turned on to allow water to flow into the machine.
• There is no water supply to the house.
• The inlet valve filter is blocked.
• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.
• The top of the drain hose is too low - It must be fitted at a height between 65 
and 100 cm from the floor (see “Installation”).
• The drain hose is connected incorrectly to the sink trap allowing water to run 
into the machine, the drain hose must be positioned higher than the bottom of 
the sink to prevent water flowing down the drain hose.
• The end of the drain hose has been pushed too far down the standpipe, the 
‘U’ bracket should be fitted 100 mm from the end of the drain hose.
• The Pump filter is blocked.
•  The EASY IRON function has been activated: To complete the wash cycle, 
press the START/PAUSE button (see “Wash cycles and functions”).
• The drain hose is kinked (see “Installation”).
• New Installation -  The blanking cap or spigot has not been removed if  
connected under a sink.
• The drain hose or sink trap is blocked.
•  The Spin Speed is set to “OFF”.
•  The ‘Temperature’ is set to “OFF”.
•  Programme times will vary due to water pressure, the incoming water 
temperature and if the wash load goes out of balance. This will increase the 
programme times accordingly (see ‘ The machine wont spin properly’ below).
•  The display time is for guidance only  -  it is not a precise  time to finish and 
may vary.
•  The feet have not been adjusted, enabling the machine to rock.
• New Installation -  Either the Transit Bolts including the plastic spacers, or the 
Polystyrene Packaging have not been removed when installing the machine.
• The machine is trapped between cabinets and/or walls.
• The load is in a slight out of balance condition and machine is spinning, but at 
a lower speed. 
						

							14
GBThe machine is noisy.
The machine wont spin properly.
The machine leaks from the  
dispenser.
The machine leaks (other than 
dispenser).
The option lights and the START/
PAUSE indicator light are flash 
rapidly and an error code appears 
on the display (eg F-01, F-..).
The machine smells.
The machine door cannot be  
opened.
Door Seal damaged at the bottom.
The water level is too low when 
the machine is washing.
There is too much foam.
After completing the programme, 
or before starting a programme, 
the machine has turned itself off  
(no lights).
General.
• There will always be some motor, pump and drum noise during spin.
• Out of Balance detected when attempting to go into a spin cycle - If this 
happens the machine will continue to try to repeat the distribution of the load 
required before the machine will go into higher spin speeds - This will increase 
the programme time accordingly. This is a safety feature to prevent damage.  
Out of Balance can be caused by washing a single heavy item (eg duvet, quilt, 
etc).  - Try the programme again using a different load.
• The dispenser drawer is blocked with detergent and requires cleaning.
• The water pressure is too high and requires turning down - turn down the tap 
on the water supply pipe slightly and try again.
• The machine is tilting forwards - It must be level when in its final position.
• The fill hose is loose, check both the cabinet and tap ends.
• The fill hose is tight but still leaks, if so replace the rubber washers, or the fill 
hose is missing the rubber washer.
• The drain hose is not fixed in properly.
• Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1 minute and then 
switch back on again. If the problem persists contact Technical Assistance 
Centre.
• The machine requires a service wash. Run a auto clean wash cycle with 
detergent and no laundry.
• The door will not open until the door lock indicator light goes out shortly after 
the program has finished.
• If there is no power to the machine you need to perform the manual unlocking 
procedure.
• The door seal has drainage holes at the bottom - This is normal.
• The water level is correct if it can be seen at the bottom of the door.
• The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should display the text  
‘for washing machines’ or ‘hand and machine wash’ or the like).
• Too much detergent was used - less detergent is required in soft water.
• To comply with new energy saving regulations the machine is fitted with an 
automatic standby system. Press ‘ON/OFF’ button for 3 seconds to activate 
the machine, it can then either be switched off or a new programme selected.
• Your washing machine contains sensors that monitor progress during the wash 
cycle (eg: Water Levels, Temperatures, Out of Balance loads, Wash time/progress).
   Normally, if your machine successfully completes the cycle, there is unlikely to 
be anything wrong!
Remember, you will be charged for a service call for problems caused by incorrect installation, as 
indicated on pages 2 to 4.
Not emptying contents from pockets may cause pump or drain blockages, or may damage the machine.
Do not wash items which do not have a wash label, or wash items that ar e not intended as machine  
washable.
