11. Start the programme
Press the Start/Pause button. The relevant light will stop
flashing and only the light relevant to the phase that is in
progress will remain lit.
If you have chosen a delayed start, the washing machine
will begin the countdown.
The display will show the duration of the programme or
the selected delay.
12. How to change a programme
during its cycle
Before you make any change, you must pause the
washing machine by pressing the Start/Pause button.
It is possible to change any phase before the programme
carries it out.
Changing the type of fabric or temperature is possible,
obviously, only during the washing phase. When you
make a change in these two parameters, the washing
machine will resume the cyclefrom the beginning.
If it is necessary to drain the water in order to change the
programme in progress, proceed as follows:
• PAUSE the machine by  pressing the Start/Pause
button;
• press  the Skip Reset button repeatedly, until only 
the Drain light remains lit;
• press the Start/Pause button again.
When the water has been drained, the display shows a
blinking zero. You may now select a new programme
and press the Start/Pause button to start it.
13. How to cancel a programme
during its cycle
To cancel a programme that is being carried out, first
pause the washing machine by pressing the Start/Pause
button, then press the Skip Reset button repeatedly, until
the display shows three blinking dashes.
14. How to open the door during
the cycle of a programme
You can open the door, after having set the washing
machine to Pause, provided the following conditions
exist:
• the washing machine is not in the heating phase
beyond 55°C;
• the level of the water is not high;
• the drum is not turning.If these requirements are met, when you pause the
washing machine , the door can be opened.
Should it not be possible to open the door, and should it
be absolutely necessary to do so, switch the machine off
by pressing the On/Off button.
After approximately 3 minutes, you can open the door.
Pay attention to the level and temperature of the
water in the washing machine!
When you close the door and press the On/Off button
again, the washing machine will resume the programme
from the point where it had been interrupted.
15. End of programme
At the end of the programme, the washing machine
stops automatically, gives an audible signal, and
displays a blinking zero.
If you had selected the Rinse Hold option, the door is
locked, the Start/Pausebutton light goes off, the pilot light
of Rinse Hold remains lit to indicate that the water must
be drained. The display shows a flashing zero.
When the programme has been completed, a blinking
zero appears on the display and the audible signal is
given.
Press the Skip Reset button repeatedly to erase the
programme that has just been carried out. If you
omit to do this, the next time you switch the washing
machine on, the blinking zero will appear on the
display and you will hear the audible signal.
Note: when you switch the machine on, if you must
erase the previously performed programme, it is also
sufficient to press the FABRIC button and select a new
programme.
Press the On/Off button to switch the machine off. The
relevant light will go out.
Remove the laundry from the washing machine.
Check whether the drum is completely empty, by
rotating it with your hand. The purpose of this is to
prevent any items of laundry from remaining
accidentally in the drum, where they might get damaged
in a subsequent wash (e.g. by shrinking) or bleed colour
into another load of laundry.
We advise you to close the water supply tap and
disconnect the plug from the socket.
Leave the door ajar in order to air the washing machine.

Washing Hints
Do NOToverload the machine. Weigh the laundry the
first few times you use the appliance. 
The average weights of the most common items are
listed below as a guide:
1000g = 1 kg
Sheet 700-1000 g
Pillow case  100-200 g
Tablecloth 400-500 g
Serviette 50-100 g
Tea towel  70-120 g
Linen hand towel  100-150 g
Towelling hand towel  150-250 g
Towelling bath towel  700-1000 g
Bath robe  1000-1500 g
Man’s shirt  200-300 g
Apron 150-200 g
●Load the laundry loosely alternating large items with
small ones.
●Sort the laundry according to the type of fabric,
colour-fastness and how dirty it is.
●Avoid washing unhemmed or torn items as they may
unravel.
●Before washing, empty all pockets of small objects
which may have been left inside (coins, keys, screws
etc). as these could damage the drain pump.
●When washing curtains, remove the hooks.
●Close poppers and zips and fasten loose buttons.
●It is essential to wash new coloured items separately
when washing for the first time.
●When washing fabrics requiring different wash
temperatures together, always select the lowest
temperature.
●White items should not be washed with coloured
items.
●Very small items (handkerchiefs, ribbons, socks etc)
should be washed in a washing bag or a pillow case.
●Use a good quality detergent suitable for automatic
washing machines.
●Use the correct quantities of detergent.
●For wool, use gentle detergent only in small
quantities.
●Bleach is very corrosive; it should be used with care
and kept out of reach of children.
●Some stains such as fruit, wine, grass, rust etc. are
difficult to remove and should be treated before
washing with specific products, which can be found
in most household shops. In some cases it may help
to soak the stain before washing with a special pre-
soak product or biological detergent.
●Only wool marked “Pure New Wool - washable,
preshrunk” can be washed in the the wool
programme; other types of wool should be washed
in Hand Wash programme..
●If you have used the machine to wash, rinse or spin
only non-colour fast garments, there may be dye left
in the sump. To ensure any subsequent wash is not
contaminated with the dye, select and carry out a
rinse and spin programme, without any garments, to
ensure that any dye is removed from the sump.
●Once you have finished using the machine, you are
advised to unplug it and turn off the water tap.

And in which form?
Not only are there different types of detergent, but they
are also available in different forms. Whether you chose
a powder or liquid in traditional or compact form is
your own personal choice.
TRADITIONAL POWDERS
Pour the powder directly into the dispenser drawer. Do
not sprinkle powder onto clothes in the machine drum.
TRADITIONAL LIQUIDS
Liquid can be placed in the main wash compartment of
the detergent drawer marked with the symbol  , start
the machine immediately upon placing the detergent in
the dispenser drawer.
Alternatively the detergent is measured into the
specially designed dosing device* which should be
placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the
machine drum.
COMPACT POWDERS AND LIQUIDS
Compact detergents (or concentrates as they are also
known) are available in liquid or powder form, and
generally require a smaller dosage. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the most
economical usage. Pour the detergent directly into the
dispenser drawer, or alternatively measure the detergent
into the specially designed dosing device* which
should be placed on top of the laundry, and at the back
of the machine drum.
*  If you use a dosing device in a washer dryer,
please ensure the dosing device/ball is removed
before carrying out a drying programme.
FABRIC CONDITIONERS
These are ideal for improving ‘softness’, and also
reduce static cling on synthetics and make ironing
easier. They are available in two types:
For example Lenor liquid fabric 
softener, for use in the washing
machine/washer dryer. The
liquid fabric softener should be
poured into the compartment
marked with the symbol  .
Follow the manufacturer’s dosage
instructions and never exceed the
MAX level.
Bounce conditioning sheets for use 
in a tumble dryer. We recommend
the conditioning sheets are pinned
(using a safety pin) to an article
of laundry and placed in the 
tumble dryer.
Which detergent?....
To ensure you obtain the best wash results from your
appliance, it is important to use the right detergent in
your everyday wash, and only detergents recommended
for use in automatic machines.
To maintain the appearance of your clothes and
household textiles and to make them last longer you
should use different types of detergent for different
washes, whether for whites, colours or delicates.
WHITES
We recommend the Ariel product
range which is biological and
designed to provide excellent
cleaning and stain removal even
at low temperatures.
NON BIOLOGICAL
If you prefer to use a non
biological detergent, which does
not contain enzymes we
recommend Fairy. Fairy provides
good cleaning and stain removal.
COLOUREDS
For coloured items you should use a
detergent which is designed to clean
while maintaining the original colour.
Ariel Color does not contain bleach 
and therefore helps to preserve
colours.
DELICATE ITEMS
When washing delicates such as
woollens, you should use a product
which is specially designed to care for
fine fabrics.
Dreft Automatic is suitable for
woollens and other delicates.
LAUNDRY BLEACH
For additional stain removal you may
wish to use a product such as Ace
Gentle Bleach which is used in addition
to your chosen detergent. Ace is
suitable for all washable fabrics
including silks, woollens and coloureds.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you
must DISCONNECTthe appliance from the electricity
supply.
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 manufacturers
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 forming 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 programme.  
●Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a
powder (such as Ariel Futur).
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap
and water only, and then dry thoroughly.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer
The washing powder and additive dispenser drawer
should be cleaned regularly.
Remove the drawer by pressing the catch downwards
and by pulling it out. Flush it out under a tap, to remove
any traces of accumulated powder.
To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive
compartment should be removed.
Cleaning the drawer recess
Having removed the drawer, use a small brush to clean
the recess, ensuring that all washing powder residue is
removed from the upper and lower part of the recess.
Replace the drawer and run the rinse programme
without any clothes in the drum.
Cleaning the pump
The pump should be inspected if
• the machine does not empty and/or spin 
• the machine makes an unusual noise during draining
due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking
the pump. 
Proceed as follows:
• Disconnect the appliance. 
•  If necessary wait until the water has cooled down. 
• Open the pump door.
•  Place a container close to the pump to collect any
spillage. 
•  Pull out the emergency emptying hose, place it in the
container and remove its cap.

	




132989150.qxd  13/03/2004  09.00  Pagina  17 
						

							18 •  When no more water comes out, unscrew the pump
cover and remove it. Always keep a rag nearby to dry
up spillage of water when removing the cover.
•Remove any objects from the pump impeller by
rotating it.
• Put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose and
place the latter back in its seat.
•  Screw the pump cover fully in.
• Close the pump door.
Wa r n i n g
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 filter
If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime
deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged.
It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time.
Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the water inlet hose. 



Clean the filter using a hard bristle brush.
Tighten up the inlet hose.
The dangers of freezing
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C,
certain precautions should be taken.
●Turn off the water tap.
●Unscrew the inlet hose.
●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.
●Screw the water inlet hose back on and reposition
the emergency emptying hose after having put the
cap on again.
●When you intend to start the machine up again,
make sure that the room 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 avoiding that part of the detergent remains
unused at next washing.
Emergency emptying out
If the water is not discharged, proceed as follows to
empty out the machine:
• pull out the plug from the power socket; 
• close the water tap; 
• if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;
• open the pump door;
• 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;
• clean the pump if necessary as previously described;
• replace the emergency emptying hose in its seat after
having plugged it;
• screw the pump cover again and close the door.

Something Not Working
Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without
calling out an engineer. Before contacting your local Service Force Centre, please carry out the checks listed
below.
IMPORTANT: if you call out an engineer to a fault listed below, or to repair a fault caused by incorrect use or
installation, a charge will be made even if the appliance is under guarantee.
During machine operation it is possible that one of the following alarm codes appears on the display and at the same
time the buzzer sounds:
-E10: problem with the water supply
-E20 : problem with water draining
-E40: door open
Once the problem has been eliminated, press the Start/Pause button  to restart the programme. If after all checks,
the problem persists, contact your local Service Force Centre.
Symptom
The machine does not start
Possible causes
●The door has not been closed. (E40)
●The plug is not properly inserted in the power socket.
●There is no supply at the socket.
●The main fuse or the fuse in the plug has blown.
●The Start/Pause button has not been depressed.
●The DELAY START option has been selected.
The machine does not fill●The water tap is closed. (E10)
●The filter in the inlet hose is blocked. (E10)
●The inlet hose may be squashed or kinked. (E10)
●The door has not been closed. (E40)
The machine fills then empties
immediately●The end of the drain hose is too low.  
●The end of the drain hose is submerged in water.
●There is no vent in the end of the drain hose.
The machine does not empty and/or
does not spin●The drain hose may be squashed or kinked. (E20)
●The Rinse Hold option has been selected.
●The drain pump may be blocked. (E20)
●The drain hose extension, if fitted, is not correct. Follow the
instructions for connecting to the waste.
●The drainage system pipes are blocked.
●The wash load is unbalanced: redistribute the clothes inside the drum to
allow the machine to spin.
There is water on the floor●Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used (creates too
much foam).
●Check whether there are any leaks from the inlet hose fittings. It is not
always easy to see this as the water runs down the hose; check to see if
it is damp.
●The drain hose may be damaged or not securely positioned.
●The detergent dispenser drawer or recess is clogged.
●The drainage system pipes are blocked.
Unsatisfactory washing results●Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used. An
insufficient amount of detergent leaves the laundry looking grey and
causes lime scale to form.
●Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing
●The correct wash programme/temperature has not been selected.
●Too much laundry has been placed in the drum.
132989150.qxd  13/03/2004  09.00  Pagina  19 
						

							20 20
Symptom
The door will not open
Possible causes
●The water level is above the bottom edge of the door.
●The machine is heating the water.
●The drum is turning.
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 6 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.
The machine makes an unusual
noise●The 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 drum●Machines based on modern technology operate very economically
using very little water  without affecting performance.
