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 instruc-
tions. This will help to prevent the formation of lime de-
posits.
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 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 regularly and particularly
if:
• the appliance does not empty and/or spin;
• the appliance makes an unusual noise during draining
due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking
the pump;
• a problem with water draining is detected (see chapter
“What to do if...” for more details).
Warning! Before opening the pump door, switch the
appliance off and remove the mains plug from the
socket.
Proceed as follows:
• Unplug the appliance.
• If it is necessary, wait until the water has cooled down.

							Place a container close to
the pump (A) to collect
any spillage.
Pull out the emergency
emptying hose (B), place it
in the container and re-
move its cap.
When no more water comes out, unscrew the pump
cover by turning it anti-clockwise and remove the filter.
Use pliers, if necessary. Always keep a rag nearby to
dry up any water spillage when removing the cover.
Clean the filter under a tap, to remove any traces of fluff.
Remove foreign bodies
and fluff from the filter seat
and from the pump impel-
ler.
Check carefully whether
the pump impeller rotates
(it rotates jerkily). If it
doesn’t rotate, please con-
tact your Service Centre.
Put the cap back on the
emergency emptying hose
and place the latter back in
its seat.
Replace the filter into the
pump by inserting it cor-
rectly into the special
guides. Screw the pump
cover firmly by turning it
clockwise.
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 refitting the pump 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
with 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 rag
nearby because some water may flow.
• Clean the filter in the valve with a stiff brush or with
the piece of cloth.

							Frost precaution
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C, cer-
tain 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.
What to do if…
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 Centre,
please carry out the checks listed below.
During machine operation it is possible that the red pilot
light of button 5 blinks to indicate that the machine is not
working.
It is possible to recognize the fault machine by the number

ent from the ones indicated below, this is related to a fault
that you can not solve. In this case, contact your local
Service Centre.
Press simultaneously the buttons 4 and 5 for a few sec-
onds. The red button 5 light will flash for a short time as
described (the green flash is not to be considered) :•4 flashes = «The washing machine does not start», fol-
low the corresponding suggestions in «Possible
cause/Solutions» box and restart the programme.
•1 flash = «The machine does not fill», follow the corre-
sponding suggestions in «Possible cause/Solutions»
box and restart the programme.

16
 
 
						

							ProblemPossible cause/Solution
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 rota-
tion of the drum. This may happen several times before the unbalance disap-
pears 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, re-
distribute 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 com-
pared 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.

							Positioning
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 ma-
chine by raising or lower-
ing the feet. The feet may
be tight to adjust as they
incorporate a self locking
nut, but the machine
MUST be level and stable.
If necessary, check the
setting with a spirit level.
Any necessary adjustment
can be made with a span-
ner.
Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and displace-
ment of the machine during operation.
Caution! Never place cardboard, wood or similar
materials under the machine to compensate for any
unevenness in the floor. After having levelled the
appliance, tighten the lock nuts.
Raising the appliance
Suspended wooden floors are particularly susceptible to
vibration.
To help prevent vibration we recommend you place a wa-
terproof wood panel, at least 15 mm thick under the appli-
ance, secured to at least 2 floor beams with screws, the
wood panel must extend beyond the front feet.
If possible install the appliance in one of the corners of
the room, where the floor is more stable.
Water inlet
Warning! This appliance must be connected to a
cold water supply
Caution! Before connecting up the appliance to new
pipework or to pipework that has not been used for
some time, run off a reasonable amount of water to flush
out any debris that may have collected
Caution! Do not use the hose from your previous
appliance to connect to water supply.
Connect the hose to a tap
with a 3/4” thread. Always
use the hose supplied with
the appliance.
35°
45°
The other end of the inlet hose which connects to the
appliance can be turned as showed in the picture.
Do not place the inlet hose downwards. Angle the hose
to the left or right depending on the position of your
water tap. Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring
nut. After positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten
the ring nut again to prevent leaks.
Caution! The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it
is too short and you do not wish to move the tap,
you will have to purchase a new, longer hose specially
designed for this type of use.
Warning! Installation should comply with local
water authority and building regulations’
requirements.
The appliance must be connected to a cold water supply.
A minimum water pressure of 0.05 MPa (0.5 bar) is
required for safe operation of the appliance.
If you cannot make the cold water connection direct from
the rising mains, you may be able to operate the appliance
from your cold water storage system.
There should be a minimum vertical distance of 5.02 m
(16.5 ft) between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom of
the water storage tank.
Water drainage
This appliance is designed to be permanently plumbed in-
to your homes drainage system using one of the follow-
ing methods.

							1. Into a drainage standpipe.
Firstly form a hook in the end of the drain hose using
the “U” piece” supplied.
“U” piece supplied
Place the drain hose into your standpipe, which should
have an internal diameter of approximately 38 mm thus
ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose
and standpipe.
When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top
of the standpipe is no more than 90 cm (35.4) and no
less than 60 cm (23.6) above floor level.
38 mm (1.5”)
standpipe

30 cm (12”)
The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4
metres. An additional drain hose and joining piece is
available from your local Service Force Centre. The
joining piece must have an internal diameter of 18 mm.
Min. 60 cm (23.6”)
Max. 90 cm (35.4”)
If your drain hose looks
like this (see beside) you
do not require the “U”
piece”. Just push the hose
firmly in to the standpipe.
2. Onto a sink outlet spigot.
Loop
If the outlet spigot has not
been used before, remove
any blanking plug that
may be in place.Push the drain hose onto
the spigot and secure with
a clip, ensure a loop is
formed in the drain hose
(see above) to prevent
waste from the sink enter-
ing the appliance.
If you intend to drain the hose from the machine into a
sink, make sure that the sink is empty and the plug hole
is not blocked. Use the plastic “U - Piece” supplied.
In the interest of the environment
The appliance should be connected to the FOUL drainage
system, the water will then be taken to a sewage works for
treatment before being discharged safely into a river.
It is essential that these appliances are not connected to
the surface water drainage system as this water is dis-
charged directly into a river or stream and may cause pol-
lution.
If you require any further advice please contact your local
water authority.
