Care and cleaning
Warning! You must disconnect the
appliance from the electricity supply,
before you can carry out any cleaning or
maintenance work.
Descaling
The water we use normally contains lime. It
is a good idea to periodically use a water
softening powder in the machine. Do this
separately from any laundry washing, and
according to the softening powder manufac-
turers instructions. This will help to prevent
the formation of lime deposits.
After each wash
Leave the door open for a while. This helps
to prevent mould and stagnant smells form-
ing inside the appliance. Keeping the door
open after a wash will also help to preserve
the door seal.Maintenance wash
With the use of low temperature washes it is
possible to get a build up of residues inside
the drum.
We recommend that a maintenance wash be
performed on a regular basis.
To run a maintenance wash:
• The drum should be empty of laundry.
• Select the hottest cotton wash pro-
gramme.
• Use a normal measure of detergent, must
be a powder with biological properties.
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance
with soap and water only, and then dry thor-
oughly.
Important! Do not use methylated spirits,
solvents or similar products to clean the
cabinet.

							Cleaning the dispenser drawer
The detergent dispenser drawer should be
cleaned regularly.
1. Remove the detergent dispenser drawer
by pulling it firmly. Remove any traces of
accumulated powder. To aid cleaning,
the top part of the additive compartment
should be removed.
2. Remove the conditioner insert from the
appropriate compartment.
3. Clean all parts with water.
4. Put the conditioner insert in as far as it will
go, so that it is firmly in place
5. Clean all parts of the machine, especially
the nozzles in the top of the washing-in
chamber, with a brush.
6. Insert the detergent dispenser drawer in
the guide rails and push it in.
Washing drum
Rust deposits in the drum may occur due to
rusting foreign bodies in the washing or tap
water containing iron.
Important! Do not clean the drum with
acidic descaling agents, scouring agents
containing chlorine or iron or steel wool.
1. Remove any rust deposits on the drum
with a cleaning agent for stainless steel.
2. Run a washing cycle without any washing
to clean off any cleaning agent residues.
Programme: Short Cotton Programme at
maximum temperature and add approx.
1/4 measuring cup of detergent.
Door seal
Check from time to time the door seal and
eliminate eventual possible objects that
could be trapped in the fold.

							Drain pump
The pump should be inspected regularly and
particularly if:
• the machine does not empty and/or spin
• the machine makes an unusual noise dur-
ing draining due to objects such as safety
pins, coins etc. blocking the pump.
Proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the appliance.
2. If necessary wait until the water has
cooled down.
3. Open the pump door.
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 cover.
6. When no more water comes out, un-
screw the pump and remove it. Alwayskeep a rag nearby to dry up spillage of
water when removing the pump.
7. Remove any objects from the pump im-
peller by rotating it.
8. Refit the cap on the emergency empty-
ing hose and place the latter back in its
seat.
9. Screw the pump fully in.
10. Close the pump door.
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.

							Cleaning the water inlet filters
If you notice that the machine is taking longer
to fill, check that the filter in the water inlet
hose is not blocked.
1. Turn off the water tap.
2. Unscrew the water inlet hose.
3. Clean the filter in the hose using a hard
bristle brush.
4. Screw the hose back onto the tap.
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 bowl 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 wa-
ter 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 ma-
chine 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.
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.

The inlet hose is squashed or kinked(the button 5 red light blinks).
• Check the inlet hose connection.
The filter in the inlet hose or the inlet valve filter are blocked (the
button 5 red light blinks).
• Clean the water inlet filters (See Cleaning the water inlet filters
for more details).
The door is not properly closed (the button 5 red light blinks).
•Close the door firmly.
The machine fills then emp-
ties immediately:The end of the drain hose is too low.
• Refer to relevant paragraph in «water drainage» section.
The machine does not emp-
ty and/or does not spin:

							ProblemPossible cause/Solution
Unsatisfactory washing re-
sults:
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 stubborn stains.
The correct temperature was not selected.
• Check if you have selected the correct temperature.
Excessive laundry load.
• Reduce the laundry load.
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 light 7.2 has gone out.
There is water in the drum.
• Select drain or spin programme to empty out the water.
The machine vibrates 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 redis-
tributed by reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen several
times before the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can re-
sume. If, after 10 minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed
in the drum, the machine will not spin. In this case, redistribute the
load manually and select the spin programme.
• Redistribute the laundry.
The load is too small.
• Add more items, redistribute the load manually and then select
the spinning programme.
The machine makes an un-
usual noise:The machine is fitted with a type of motor which makes an unusual
noise compared with other traditional motors. This new motor en-
sures 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 without affecting performance.
