Precautions and tips
! This washing machine was designed and constructed in 
accordance with international safety regulations. The fol-
lowing information is provided for safety reasons and must 
therefore be read carefully.
General safety
•  This appliance is not intended for use by persons (inclu -
ding children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental 
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless 
they have been given supervision or instruction concer -
ning use of the appliance by a person responsible for 
their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that 
they do not play with the appliance.
•  This appliance was designed for domestic use only.
•  Do not touch the machine when barefoot or with wet or 
damp hands or feet.
•  Do not pull on the power supply cable when unplugging 
the appliance from the electricity socket. Hold the plug 
and pull. 
•  Do not open the detergent dispenser drawer while the 
machine is in operation.
•  Do not touch the drained water as it may reach extreme-
ly high temperatures. 
•  Never force the porthole door. This could damage the 
safety lock mechanism designed to prevent accidental 
opening.
•  If the appliance breaks down, do not under any circum-
stances 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 2002/96/EC 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 obliga- 
  tion, 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.

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.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser dra -
wer
Remove the dispenser by 
raising it and pulling it out 
(see figure).
Wash it under running wa-
ter; 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 rota-
ting 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.

Troubleshooting
Your washing machine could fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre (see “Assistance”), make sure 
that the problem cannot be not solved easily using the following list. 
Problem:
The washing machine does not 
switch on.
The wash cycle does not start.
The washing machine does not 
take in water (“H2O” will flash on 
the display).
The washing machine continuously 
takes in and drains water.
The washing machine does not 
drain or spin.
The washing machine vibrates a lot 
during the spin cycle.
The washing machine leaks.
The “function” indicator lights and 
the “start/pause” indicator light flash, 
while one of the “phase in progress” 
indicator lights and the “door locked” 
indicator light will remain lit in a fixed 
manner.
There is too much foam.
Possible causes / Solutions:
• The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or is not making contact.
•  There is no power in the house.
•  The washing machine 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 opened.
•  A delayed start has been set ( see “Personalisation”).
•  The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap.
•  The hose is bent.
•  The water tap has not been opened.
•  There is no water supply in the house.
•  The pressure is too low.
•  The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.
•  The drain hose is not fitted at a height between 65 and 100 cm fr om the floor 
(see “Installation”).
•  The free end of the hose is under water ( see “Installation”).
•  The wall drainage system is not fitted with a breather pipe.
If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water tap, switch 
the appliance off and contact the Assistance Service. If the dwelling is on one of 
the upper floors of a building, there may be problems relating to water drainage, 
causing the washing machine to fill with water and drain continuously. Special 
anti-draining valves are available in shops and help to avoid this inconvenience.
•  The wash cycle does not include draining: some wash cycles require the drain 
phase to be started manually.
•  The drain hose is bent ( see “Installation”).
•  The drainage duct is clogged.
•  The drum was not unlocked correctly during installation (see “Installation”).
•  The washing machine is not level (see “Installation”).
•  The washing machine is trapped between cabinets and walls ( see “Installation”).
•  The water inlet hose is not screwed on properly ( see “Installation”).
•  The detergent dispenser drawer is blocked (for cleaning instructions,  see 
“Care and maintenance”).
•  The drain hose is not fixed properly (see “Installation” ).
•  Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1 minute and 
then switch it back on again.
  If the problem persists, contact the Technical Assistance Service.
•  The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should display the text 
“for washing machines” or “hand and machine wash”, or the li\
ke).
•  Too much detergent was used.
