							MalfunctionPossible causeSolution
The machine vibrates or is
noisy:●The transit bolts and
packing have not been
removed.
●The support feet have not
been adjusted.
●The laundry is not evenly
distributed in the drum.
●Maybe there is very little
laundry in the drum.
●Check the correct
installation of the appliance.
●Check the correct levelling
of the appliance.
●Redistribute the laundry.
●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 door will not open:●The programme is still
running.
●The door lock has not been
released.
●There is water in the drum.
●Wait the end of washing
cycle.
●Wait for the Door icon 
desappearing.
●Select drain or spin
programme to empty out
the water.

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.

							The consumption data shown on this
chart is to be considered purely
indicative, as it may vary depending on
the quantity and type of laundry, on the
inlet water temperature and on the
ambient temperature. It refers to the
highest temperature for each wash
programme.(*) The programme “Cottons Eco  ” at
60°C is the reference programme for
the data entered in the energy label,
in compliance with EEC 92/75
standards.

machine ever has to be transported
again.
1. After removing all the packaging,
carefully lay machine on it’s back to
remove the polystyrene base from the
bottom.
2. Remove the power supply cable and
the draining hose from the hose
holders on the rear of the appliance.
3. Unscrew the three bolts.
	
4. Slide out the relevant plastic spacers.
5. Open the porthole and remove the

							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 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.
If necessary, check the setting with a
spirit level.
Any necessary adjustment can be made
with a spanner. 
Accurate levelling prevents vibration,
noise and displacement of the machine
during operation.Never place cardboard,
wood or similar materials under the
machine to compensate for any
unevenness in the floor.

2. The other end of the inlet hose which
connects to the machine 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.

3. 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. 
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.
Before connecting up the machine 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 in the
pipes.
Water drainage
The end of the drain hose can be
positioned in three ways:
Hooked over the edge of a sink
using the plastic hose guide
supplied with the machine.In this
case, make sure the end cannot come
unhooked when the machine is
emptying. This could be done by tying it
to the tap with a piece of string or
attaching it to the wall.

In a sink drain pipe branch.This
branch must be above the trap so that
the bend is at least 60 cm above the
ground. 
Directly into a drain pipe at a
heightof not less than 60 cm and not
more than 90 cm. The end of the drain
hose must always be ventilated, i.e.
the inside diameter of the drain pipe
must be larger than the outside diameter
of the drain hose.
The drain hose must not be kinked.
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 Centre.

							Electrical connection
This machine is designed to operate on
a 220-230 V, single-phase, 50 Hz
supply.
Check that your domestic electrical
installation can take the maximum load
required (2.2 kW), also taking into
account any other appliances in use.
Connect the machine to an earthed
socket. 
The manufacturer declines any
responsibility for damage or injury
through failure to comply with the above
safety precaution. Should the appliance
power supply cable need to be
replaced, this should be carried out by
our Service Centre.
Please ensure that when the appliance is
installed the power supply cable is easily
accessible.
