    Installation
    ! This instruction manual should be kept in a safe place for 
    future reference. If the washing machine is sold, transferred 
    or moved, make sure that the instruction manual remains 
    with the machine so that the new owner is able to 
    familiarise himself/herself with its operation and features.
    ! Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital 
    information relating to the safe installation 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 protective 
    screws (used during 
    transportation) and the 
    rubber washer with the 
    corresponding 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 needs 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, furniture cabinets or anything 
    else.
    2. If the floor is not perfectly 
    level,  compensate  for  any 
    unevenness by tightening or 
    loosening the adjustable front 
    feet  (see  figure);  the  angle 
    of  inclination,  measured  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 inlet hose 
    by screwing it to a cold 
    water tap using a 3/4 gas 
    threaded connection (see 
    figure).
    Before performing the 
    connection, allow the 
    water to run freely until it is 
    perfectly clear.
    2. Connect the inlet hose 
    to the washing machine 
    by screwing it onto the 
    corresponding water inlet 
    of the appliance, which is 
    situated on the top right-
    hand side of the rear part of 
    the appliance (see figure).
    3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over or bent.
    ! The water pressure at the tap must fall within the range 
    of values indicated in the Technical data 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.

    GBConnecting the drain hose
    Connect the drain hose, 
    without bending it, to a 
    drain duct or a wall drain 
    situated between 65 and 
    100 cm from the floor;
    alternatively, placed it over 
    the edge of a basin, sink 
    or tub, fastening the duct 
    supplied to the tap (see 
    figure). The free end of 
    the hose should not be 
    underwater.
    ! We advise against the use of hose extensions; if it is 
    absolutely necessary, the extension 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 electricity 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 extremely dangerous to leave 
    the appliance exposed to rain, storms and other weather 
    conditions.
    ! When the washing machine has been installed, the 
    electricity socket must remain within easy reach. 
    ! Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.
    65 - 100 cm
    ! The cable should not be bent or compressed.
    ! The power supply cable must only be replaced by 
    authorised technicians.
    Warning! The company shall not be held responsible in the 
    event that these standards are not observed.
    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 wash cycle number 2.

    symbol is switched off the door may be opened (wait 
    approximately 3 minutes). Press the START/PAUSE 
    button again to restart the wash cycle from the point at 
    which it was interrupted.
    8. THE END OF THE WASH CYCLE. This will be 
    indicated by the text “END” on the display; when the 
    DOOR LOCKED  symbol switches off the door may be 
    opened (wait approximately 3 minutes). Open the door, 
    unload the laundry and switch off the machine.
    ! If you wish to cancel a cycle which has already begun, 
    press and hold the  button. The cycle will be stopped 
    and the machine will switch off.
    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.

    Wash options
    The “PRIME” technology optimises energy, water and time consumption according to the quantity of garments actually inserted in the machine. Moreover, pressing the  button allows for selecting the following options: - Water: allows for reducing water consumption without having to renounce impeccable results (recommended for heavily soiled garments). - Energy: automatically selected by “PRIME”, this option reduces energy consumption (recommended for normally soiled garments). - Time: allows for reducing wash cycle duration (recommended for lightly soiled garments).
    ! This may only be used in conjunction with wash cycles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (all three levels) and 6, 7, 8 (- Energy and - Time levels).
     Extra RinseBy  selecting  this  option, the  efficiency  of  the rinse  is  increased and  optimal  detergent  removal  is  guaranteed.  It  is  particularly useful for sensitive skin.! It cannot be used in conjunction with wash cycles 8, , .
     Easy ironBy 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, while the EASY IRON and START/PAUSE indicator lights will flash (blue and orange respectively). To end the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button or the EASY IRON button. 
    For wash cycles number 10-12, the machine will end the cycle while the laundry is soaking; the EASY IRON and START/PAUSE indicator lights will flash. To drain the water so that the laundry may be removed, press the START/PAUSE button or the EASY IRON button.! It cannot be used in conjunction with wash cycles 8, 9, 13, , . 
     Stain removalThis function is particularly useful for  the  removal  of  stubborn stains. Insert extra compartment 4 (supplied with the appliance) into compartment  1.  When  pouring in  the  bleach,  be  careful  not  to exceed  the  “max”  level  marked on the central pivot (see figure). To bleach laundry with no other washing action, pour the bleach into extra compartment 4, select the “Rinse” cycle  and activate the “Stain removal” option . To bleach during a wash cycle, pour in the detergent and any fabric softener you wish to use, select the desired wash cycle and enable the “Stain removal”  option. The use of extra compartment 4 excludes the pre-wash function.! It cannot be used in conjunction with wash cycles 1, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, , .

    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.
    ! 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.
    Compartment 1: Pre-
    wash detergent (powder)
    Before pouring in the 
    detergent, make sure that 
    extra compartment 4 has 
    been removed.
    Compartment 2: Washing detergent (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. 
    Extra compartment 4: Bleach
    Extra compartment 5: we recommend this 
    compartment is used for liquid detergent.
    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 listed values, which refer to the 
    weight of the laundry when dry:
     Durable fabrics: max. 8 kg
     Synthetic fabrics: max. 3,5 kg
     Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg
     Wool: max. 2 kg
     Silk: max. 2 kg
    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
    Jeans: turn the garments inside out before washing and 
    use liquid detergent. Use wash cycle 6.
    Shirts: use special wash cycle 7 to wash shirts in various 
    fabrics and colours.
    It guarantees maximum care is taken of the garments and 
    minimises the formation of creases.

    Mix-Cool  30’: this  wash  cycle  was  designed  to  wash 
    lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 30 minutes and 
    therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting wash 
    cycle 8, it is possible to wash different fabrics (except for 
    wool and silk items) using a cold cycle, up to a maximum 
    load of 3 kg.
    Wool:  wash  cycle 9 can  be  used  to  wash  all  woollen 
    garments in the machine, even those carrying the “hand wash 
    only”   label.  To  achieve  the  best  results,  use  a  special 
    detergent and do not exceed the maximum load of 2 kg.
    Silk:  use  special  wash  cycle 10 to  wash  all  silk  garments. 
    We recommend the use of special detergent which has been 
    designed to wash delicate clothes.
    Curtains: we recommend you fold the curtains and place 
    them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle 10.
    Duvets: to wash double or single duvets (the weight of which 
    should not exceed 3 kg), cushions or clothes padded with 
    goose down such as puffa jackets, use the special wash cycle 
    number 11 “Duvets”. We recommend that duvets are placed 
    in the drum with their edges folded inwards (see figure) and 
    that no more than ¾ of the total volume of the drum is used.
    To achieve the best results, we recommend that a liquid detergent 
    is  used  and  placed  inside  the  detergent  dispenser  drawer.
    Outwear (wash cycle 12): is studied for washing water-
    repellent  fabrics  and  winter  jackets  (e.g.  Gore-Tex, 
    polyester,  nylon);  for  best  results,  use  a  liquid  detergent 
    and dosage suitable for a half-load; pre-treat necks, cuffs 
    and stains if necessary; do not use softeners or detergents 
    containing  softeners. Stuffed  duvets  cannot  be  washed 
    with this programme.
    Sport Shoes (wash cycle 13): is for washing sports 
    shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs 
    simultaneously.

    Precautions and tips
    !  This  washing  machine  was  designed  and  constructed 
    in  accordance  with  international  safety  regulations.  The 
    following information is provided for safety reasons and must 
    therefore be read carefully.
    General safety
    • This appliance was designed for domestic use only.
    • This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including 
    children)  with  reduced  physical,  sensory  or  mental 
    capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless 
    they have been given supervision or instruction concerning 
    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.
    • 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 
    extremely 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 
    circumstances 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  relating  to  Waste 
    Electrical  and  Electronic  Equipment  (WEEE)  states  that 
    household  appliances  should  not  be  disposed  of  using 
    the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances 
    should be collected separately in order to optimise the cost 
    of re-using and recycling the materials inside the machine, 
    while preventing potential damage to the atmosphere and 
    to public health. The crossed-out dustbin is marked on all 
    products to remind the owner of their obligations regarding 
    separated waste collection. For more information relating 
    to  the  correct  disposal  of  household  appliances,  owners 
    should contact their local authorities or appliance dealer.

    GB2. Unscrew the lid by 
    rotating 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.
    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 drawer
    To  remove  the  drawer,  press 
    lever  (1)  and  pull  the  drawer 
    outwards (2) (see figure).
    Wash  it  under  running  water; 
    t h i s   p r o c e d u r e   s h o u l d   b e 
    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 protective 
    pre-chamber at the base of the pump.
    !  Make  sure  the  wash  cycle  has  finished  and  unplug  the 
    appliance.
    To access the pre-chamber:
    1.  Take  off  the  cover  panel 
    on  the  front  of  the  machine 
    by  first  pressing  it  in  the 
    centre  and  then  pushing 
    downwards  on  both  sides 
    until you can remove it (see 
    figures).
