IMPORTANT!
You must DISCONNECT the appliance from
the electricity supply, before you can carry out
any cleaning or maintenance work.
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 manufacturer's instructions.
This will help to prevent the formation of lime
deposits.
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 with biological properties.
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.
To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive
compartment should be removed.
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.
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:
●Pull out the plug from the power socket.
●If necessary, wait until the water has cooled
down.
●Open the drainage area door.
●Place a bowl to collect the water.
●Turn slowly the lid of the diaphragm towards
left side and allow that the water of the
washing machine goes flowing slowly to the
bowl.
●When the bowl is full, turn and close the lid of
the diaphragm.
●Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until
you have completely emptied the washing
machine.
●To continue, unscrew the lid of the diaphragm
by turning it counter clockwise and pull it out.
●Always keep a rag nearby to dry up spillage of
water when removing the cover.
●Remove the objects such as buttons, coins and
the lint that has been accumulated in the
area of the pump impeller by rotating it.

							45
●Screw the lid of the diaphragm clockwise, be
sure is completely tighten.
●Close the drainage area door.
IMPORTANT!
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 inlet hose in a bowl
placed on the floor and let water drain out.
●Screw the water inlet hose back on
●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
ECOVALVE device 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;
●clean the pump if necessary as previously
described;
●screw the pump cover again and close the
door.

immediately:The end of the drain hose is too low. 
• Refer to relevant paragraph in «water drainage»
section.
The machine does not empty and/or
does not spin:
The drain hose is squashed or kinked. 
(Red Start/ Pause pilot light flashes)

Check whether there are any leaks from one of 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.
• Check the water inlet hose connection.
The inlet hose is damaged.
• Change it with a new one..
Unsatisfactory washing results:
Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been
used.
• Increase the detergent quantity or use another

							48
The machine vibrates or is noisy:
The transit bolts and packing have not been
removed.
• Check the correct installation of the appliance.
The support feet have not been adjusted.
• Check the correct levelling of the appliance.
The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.
• Redistribute the laundry.
Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.
• Load more laundry.
MalfunctionPossible Cause / Solution
The door will not open:
The programme is still running.
• Wait the end of washing cycle.
The door lock has not been released.
• Wait about 2 minute.
There is water in the drum.
• Select drain or spin programme to empty out the
water.
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 10 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
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 drumMachines based on modern technology operate very
economically using very little water  without affecting
performance.
If you are unable to identify or solve the
problem, contact our service centre. 
Before telephoning, make a note of the
model, serial number and purchase date of
your machine: the Service Centre will require
this information.
