Care and cleaning
Warning!  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 ma-
chine. Do this separately from any laundry washing, and
according to the softening powder manufacturers in-
structions. This will help to prevent the formation of lime
deposits.
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and
water only, and then dry thoroughly.
Cleaning the drawer recess
The washing powder and additive dispenser drawer
should be cleaned regularly.
Remove the drawer by
pressing the catch down-
wards 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 com-
partment should be re-
moved.
Cleaning the drawer recess
Having removed the draw-
er, 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 with-
out 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.
 13
 
						

							Pull out the emergency
emptying hose, place it in
the container and remove
its cap.
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 ro-
tating 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.
Caution!  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 re-
tightened so as to stop leaks and young children being
able to remove it.
Cleaning the water inlet filters
Important!  If the appliance doesnt fill, takes long to fill
water, the starting button blinks yellow or the display (if
available) shows the relevant alarm (see chapter What to
do if... for more details), check if the water inlet filters are
blocked .
To clean the water inlet filters:
• Turn off the water tap.
• Unscrew the hose from
the tap.
• Clean the filter in the
hose with a stiff brush.
• Screw the hose back onto the tap. Make sure the
connection is tight.
• Unscrew the hose from the machine. Keep a rug
nearby because some water may flow.
• Clean the filter in the valve with a stiff brush or with
the piece of cloth.

• Screw the hose back to the machine and make sure
the connection is tight.
• Turn on the water tap.
Frost precaution
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.
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.
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 device avoiding that part of the detergent
remains unused at next washing.

There is water on the floor:
Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent (creates too much foam) has been
used.
• Reduce the detergent quantity or use another one.
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 drain or inlet hose is damaged.
• Replace it with a new one.
The cap on the emergency emptying hose has not been replaced or the filter
has not been properly screwed in after cleaning action.

16
 
 
						

							ProblemPossible 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 until the pilot light 9  goes off.
There is water in the drum.
• Select drain or spin programme to empty out the water.
The machine vibrates 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.
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 load is too small.
• Add more items, redistribute the load manually and then select the spinning
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.
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.

Install the machine on a flat hard floor. Make sure that air
circulation around the machine is not impeded by carpets,
rugs etc. Check that the machine does not touch the wall
or other kitchen units. Level the washing machine by
raising or lowering the feet. The feet may be tight to adjust
as they incorporate a self locking nut, but the machine
MUST be level and stable.
Any necessary adjustment can be made with a spanner.
Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and displace-
ment of the machine during operation. Never place card-
board, wood or similar materials under the machine to
compensate for any unevenness in the floor.
If necessary, check the
setting with a spirit level.
