GB! This instruction manual should be kept in a safe 
place for future reference. If the washing machi-
ne is sold, transferred or moved, make sure that 
the instruction manual remains with the machine 
so that the new owner is able to familiarise him-
self/herself with its operation and features.
! Read these instructions carefully: they con-
tain vital information relating to the safe instal-
lation and operation of the appliance.
Unpacking and levelling
Unpacking
1. Remove the washing machine from its 
packaging.
2. Make sure that the washing machine has 
not been damaged during the transportation 
process. If it has been damaged, contact the 
retailer and do not proceed any further with 
the installation process.
3. Remove the 4 pro-
tective screws (used 
during transportation) 
and the rubber wa-
sher with the cor-
responding spacer, 
located on the rear 
part of the appliance 
(see figure).
4. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs 
provided.
5. Keep all the parts in a safe place: you will 
need them again if the washing machine ne-
eds to be moved to another location.
! Packaging materials should not be used as 
toys for children.
Levelling
1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy 
floor, without resting it up against walls, furni-
ture cabinets or anything else.
2. If the floor is not 
perfectly level, com-
pensate for any une-
venness by tightening 
or loosening the 
adjustable front feet 
(see figure); the angle 
of inclination, measu-
red in relation to the 
worktop, must not 
exceed 2°.
Levelling the machine correctly will provide 
it with stability, help to avoid vibrations and 
excessive noise and prevent it from shifting 
while it is operating. If it is placed on carpet or 
a rug, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow 
a sufficient ventilation space underneath the 
washing machine.
Connecting the electricity and 
water supplies
Connecting the water inlet hose
1. Connect the sup-
ply pipe by screwing 
it to a cold water tab 
using a ¾ gas threa-
ded connection (see 
figure). 
Before performing the 
connection, allow the 
water to run freely un-
til it is perfectly clear.
2. Connect the inlet 
hose to the washing 
machine by screwing 
it onto the correspon-
ding water inlet of the 
appliance, which is 
situated on the top 
right-hand side of the 
rear part of the ap-
pliance (see figure).
3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over 
or bent.
! The water pressure at the tap must fall within 
the values indicated in the Technical details 
table (see next page).
! If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a 
specialised shop or an authorised technician.
! Never use second-hand hoses.
! Use the ones supplied with the machine.

it, to a drainage duct 
or a wall drain located 
at a height between 
65 and 100 cm from 
the floor; 
alternatively, rest it on 
the side of a washba-
sin or bathtub, faste-
ning the duct sup-
plied to the tap (see 
figure). The free end 
of the hose should 
not be underwater.
! We advise against the use of hose exten-
sions; if it is absolutely necessary, the exten-
sion must have the same diameter as the 
original hose and must not exceed 150 cm in 
length.
Electrical connections
Before plugging the appliance into the electri-
city socket, make sure that: 
• 
the socket is earthed and complies with all 
applicable laws;
• the socket is able to withstand the maximum 
power load of the appliance as indicated in 
the Technical data table (see opposite);
• the power supply voltage falls within the 
values indicated in the Technical data table 
(see opposite);
• the socket is compatible with the plug of 
the washing machine. If this is not the case, 
replace the socket or the plug.
! The washing machine must not be installed 
outdoors, even in covered areas. It is extreme-
ly dangerous to leave the appliance exposed 
to rain, storms and other weather conditions.
! When the washing machine has been instal-
led, the electricity socket must be within easy 
reach.
! Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.
! The cable should not be bent or compressed.
! The power supply cable must only be repla-
ced by authorised technicians.
Warning! The company shall not be held 
responsible in the event that these regulations 
are not respected.
The first wash cycle
Once the appliance has been installed, and 
before you use it for the first time, run a wash 
cycle with detergent and no laundry, using the 
wash cycle 2.

Care and maintenance 
Cutting off the water and electri-
city 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 pre-
vent 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 
drawer
Remove the dispenser 
by raising it and pul-
ling 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-cle-
aning pump which does not require any main-
tenance. Sometimes, small items (such as 
coins or buttons) may fall into the pre-chamber 
which protects the pump, situated in its bot-
tom part.
 
!  Make sure the wash cycle has finished and 
unplug the appliance.
To access the pre-
chamber:
1. using a screwdri-
ver, remove the cover 
panel on the lower 
front part of the wa-
shing machine (see 
figure);
2. unscrew the lid 
by rotating it anti-
clockwise (see figu-
re): 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.

accordance with international safety regulations. The fol-
lowing information is provided for safety reasons and must 
therefore be read carefully.
General safety
• This appliance was designed for domestic use only.
• This appliance can be used by children aged 
from 8 years and above and persons with re-
duced physical, sensory or mental capabilities 
or lack of experience and knowledge if they 
have been given supervision or instruction 
concerning use of the appliance in a safe way 
and understand the hazards involved. Chil-
dren shall not play with the appliance. Clea-
ning and user maintenance shall not be made 
by children without supervision.
•  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.

Wash cycles
Table of wash cycles
Sport Intensive (wash cycle 12) is for washing heavily soiled sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best 
results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the “Table of wash cycles”.
Sport Light (wash cycle 13) is for washing lightly soiled sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best results, 
we recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the “Table of wash cycles”. We recommend using a 
liquid detergent and dosage suitable for a half-load.
Sport Shoes (wash cycle 14) is for washing sports shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs simultaneously.
The 20° wash cycles (20° Zone) offer effective washing performance at low temperatures, reducing electricity usage and 
expenditure while benefitting the environment.The 20° wash cycles meet all requirements:
Cotton Standard 20° (programme 6) ideal for heavily 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. 
Mix Light (programme 7) ideal for mixed loads (cotton and synthetics) with a normal soil level. The effective performance 
levels achieved at cold temperatures are guaranteed by a mechanical action which operates at varying speed, across set 
average intervals. 
20’ Refresh (programme 8) ideal for refreshing and washing lightly soiled garments in a few minutes. It lasts just 20 minutes 
and therefore saves both time and energy. It can be used to wash different types of fabrics together (except for wool and 
silk), with a maximum load of 1.5 kg.
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 according 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.
1) Test wash cycle in compliance with directive 1061/2010: set wash cycle 2 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 3 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 3 with a temperature of 40°C. 3) Synthetic program along: set wash cycle 4 with a temperature of 40°C.

Personalisation
Setting the temperature
Turn the TEMPERATURE knob to set the wash temperature (see Table of wash cycles).
The temperature may be lowered, or even set to a cold wash .
The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a temperature which is higher than the maximum value 
set for each wash cycle.
! Exception: if the 2 programme is selected, the temperature can be increased up to a value of 90°C.
Setting the spin speed
Turn the SPIN SPEED knob to set the spin speed for the selected wash cycle. 
The maximum spin speeds available for each wash cycle are as follows:
Wash cycles Maximum spin speed
Cottons   1000 rpm
Synthetics 800 rpm
Wool   800 rpm 
Silk   drain only
The spin speed may be lowered, or the spin cycle can be excluded altogether by selecting the symbol .
The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a spin speed which is higher than the maximum speed 
set for each wash cycle.
Functions
The various wash functions available with this washing machine will help to achieve the desir ed results, every time.
To activate the functions:
1. Press the button corresponding to the desired function;
2. the function is enabled when the corresponding indicator light is illuminated.
Note: If the indicator light flashes rapidly, this signals that this particular function may not be selected in conjunction with the 
selected wash cycle.
 Delay timer
To set a delayed start for the selected programme, press the corresponding button repeatedly until the required delay period 
has been reached. When this option is enabled, the  symbol lights up on the display. To remove the delayed start option 
press the button until the text “OFF” appears on the display.
! This option is enabled with all programmes.
Selecting this option enables you to suitably adjust drum rotation, temperature and water to a reduced load of lightly soiled 
cotton and synthetic fabrics (refer to the ““Table of wash cycles”). “” enables you to wash in less time thereby saving 
water and electricity. We suggest using a liquid detergent suitably measured out to the load quantity. 
! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, , .
The  function saves energy by not heating the water used to wash your laundry - an advantage both to the 
environment and to your energy bill. Instead, intensified wash action and water optimisation ensure great wash results in the 
same average time of a standard cycle. 
For the best washing results we recommend the usage of a liquid detergent.
! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, , .

Detergents and laundry
Detergent dispenser drawer
Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of 
detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessa-
rily result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause 
build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to 
environmental pollution.
! Do not use hand washing detergents because these 
create too much foam.
! 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.
Open the detergent di-
spenser drawer and pour 
in the detergent or washing 
additive, as follows.
compartment 1: Compartment 1: Pre-wash deter-
gent (powder)
compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle 
(powder or liquid)
Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately 
prior to the start of the wash cycle.
compartment 3: 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 900-1200 g
 1 towel 150-250 g
Garments requiring special care
Silk: use special wash cycle 9 to wash all silk garments. 
We recommend the use of special detergent which has 
been designed to wash delicate clothes.
Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow case or 
mesh bag. Use wash cycle 9.
Wool: all wool garments can be washed using programme 10, 
even those carrying the “hand-wash only”  label. For 
best results, use special detergents and do not exceed  
1 kg of laundry.
Jeans: Turn garments inside-out before washing and use 
a liquid detergent. Use programme 11.
Load balancing system
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations  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.
