							MalfunctionPossible causeSolution
The machine vibrates or is
noisy:The transit bolts and
packing have not been
removed.
The support feet have not
been adjusted.
The laundry is not evenly
distributed in the drum.
Maybe there is very little
laundry in the drum.
Check the correct
installation of the appliance.
Check the correct levelling
of the appliance.
Redistribute the laundry.
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 —f0 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 machine makes an
unusual noiseThe 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
drumMachines based on modern
technology operate very
economically using very little
water  without affecting
performance.

Installation
Transit security bars
Before starting the machine up,  the
transport security  bars must be
removed as follows:
You are advised to keep all the transport
security bars. In case the appliance has
to be transported again.
—f. Unscrew and remove the three rear screws by means of a key.
2. Open the porthole and remove the poliesthyrene block fitted on the door seal.
3. Place the machine in an upright position and remove the three plastic
bolts.
4. Plug the 3 holes with the plastic plugs which you can find in the envelope
containing the instruction booklet.
Hydraulic connection
There should be a COLD WATER tap
near the washing machine with a
screwing on connection pipe of 3/4 gas
for the water supply, a sink, a wash
basin or a drainage system in the wall.
Previously check if:
—Ó it is not a hot water tap.
—Ó the running water is clean. If not, run off a reasonable amount of water to
flush out any debris that may have
collected in the pipes.
Have the permanent drainage system in
the wall checked by a plumber.
—f. Carefully screw the pipe to the tap taking care not to damage the
screwdrive and fix the nut well on to
the end in order to avoid leaking.
2. If necessary turn the hose adequately by unscrewing the nut at the rear of
the appliance. Now tighten the nut
anew to avoid leaks. (Open the tap
and assure that it does not leak and
close it again.)

							3. Place the discharging hose in awashbasin or sink with the aid of the
bent piece delivered separately. The
bent piece has to be entered into the
tube’s mouth in order to assure the
support. Aforesaid piece allows the
hose to be fixed to the wall by means
of an opening on the upper part and
that way the hose does not move and
its falling is avoided.
IMPORTANT: 
The distance from the floor to the
highest part of the hose should be
between 60 to 90 cm. (It is advised to
be between 60 and 70 cm). The hose
must not be bent nor twisted to avoid
clogging. Should a prolongation of the
discharging hose be unavoidable this
must never surpass —f.5 m and must be
of the same diameter as the original
hose.
Make sure the hoses are not too tense.
Levelling
Level the appliance by loosening or
tightening the feet. Once in the right
position fix the feet by pushing the nuts
against the base of the case. Accurate
levelling will prevent vibration, noise and
displacement of the appliance during
operation.
Some vibration is inevitable, especially if
placed on a wooden floor. Wooden
floors are particularly susceptible to
vibrations. If possible always place the
appliance on a solid floor.

Electrical connection
This machine is designed to operate on
a 230 V, single—Óphase, 50 Hz supply.
Check that your domestic electrical
installation can take the maximum load
required (2.—f kW), also taking into
account any other appliances in use.
The applicable rules for electrical
security require an adequate
earthing. The plug of the appliance
is provided with such a device.
The manufacturer declines any
responsibility for damage or injury
through failure to comply with the above
safety precaution. Should the appliance
power supply cable need to be
replaced, this should be carried out by
our Service Centre.
Please ensure that when the appliance is
installed the power supply cable is easily
accessible.
