GB! This instruction manual should be kept in a safe place for 
future reference. If the washing machine is sold, transferred 
or moved, make sure that the instruction manual remains 
with the machine so that the new owner is able to familiari -
se himself/herself with its operation and features.
! Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital infor -
mation relating to the safe installation and operation of the 
appliance.
Unpacking and levelling
Unpacking
1. Remove the washing machine from its packaging.
2. Make sure that the washing machine has not been 
damaged during the transportation process. If it has been 
damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any 
further with the installation process.
3. Remove the 4 protective 
screws (used during tran-
sportation) and the rubber 
washer with the correspon-
ding spacer, located on the 
rear part of the appliance 
(see figure).
4. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs provided.
5. Keep all the parts in a safe place: you will need them 
again if the washing machine needs to be moved to ano -
ther location.
! Packaging materials should not be used as toys for 
children.
Levelling
1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor, without 
resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or anything 
else.
2. If the floor is not perfectly 
level, compensate for any 
unevenness by tightening 
or loosening the adjusta-
ble front feet (see figure); 
the angle of inclination, 
measured in relation to the 
worktop, must not exceed 
2°. Levelling the machine correctly will provide it with stability, 
help to avoid vibrations and excessive noise and prevent it 
from shifting while it is operating. If it is placed on carpet or 
a rug, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow a sufficient 
ventilation space underneath the washing machine.
Connecting the electricity and water 
supplies
Connecting the water inlet hose
1. Connect the supply pipe 
by screwing it to a cold 
water tap using a ¾ gas 
threaded connection (see 
figure). 
Before performing the con-
nection, allow the water to 
run freely until it is perfectly 
clear.
2. Connect the inlet hose 
to the washing machine by 
screwing it onto the corre-
sponding water inlet of the 
appliance, which is situa -
ted on the top right-hand 
side of the rear part of the 
appliance (see figure) .
3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over or bent.
! The water pressure at the tap must fall within the values 
indicated in the Technical details table (see next page).
! If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialised 
shop or an authorised technician.
! Never use second-hand hoses.
! Use the ones supplied with the machine.

Connecting the drain hose
 
Connect the drain hose, 
without bending it, to a drai-
nage duct or a wall drain 
located at a height between 
65 and 100 cm from the 
floor; alternatively, rest it on 
the side of a washbasin 
or bathtub, fastening the 
duct supplied to the tap 
(see figure). The free end 
of the hose should not be 
underwater.
! We advise against the use of hose extensions; if it is 
absolutely necessary, the extension must have the same 
diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 150 cm 
in length.
Electrical connections
Before plugging the appliance into the electricity socket, 
make sure that: 
•	 the	socket	is	earthed	and	complies	with	all	applicable	 laws;
•	 the	socket	is	able	to	withstand	the	maximum	power	load	 of the appliance as indicated in the Technical data table 
(see opposite);
•	 the	power	supply	voltage	falls	within	the	values	indicated	 in the Technical data table (see opposite);
•	 the	socket	is	compatible	with	the	plug	of	the	washing	 machine. If this is not the case, replace the socket or the 
plug.
! The washing machine must not be installed outdoors, 
even in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave 
the appliance exposed to rain, storms and other weather 
conditions.
! When the washing machine has been installed, the elec -
tricity socket must be within easy reach.
! Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.
! The cable should not be bent or compressed.
! The power supply cable must only be replaced by autho -
rised technicians.
Warning! The company shall not be held responsible in the 
event that these regulations are not respected.
The first wash cycle
Once the appliance has been installed, and before you use 
it for the first time, run a wash cycle with detergent and no 
laundry, using the wash cycle  2.

Indicator lights
The indicator lights provide important information.
This is what they can tell you:
Delayed start
If the DELAY TIMER function has been activated (see “Per-
sonalisation” ), after the wash cycle has been started the 
indicator light corresponding to the selected delay period 
will begin to flash:
As time passes, the remaining delay will be displayed and 
the corresponding indicator light will flash:
The set programme will start once the selected time delay 
has expired.
Wash cycle phase indicator lights
Once the desired wash cycle has been selected and has be -
gun, the indicator lights switch on one by one to indicate which 
phase of the cycle is currently in progress. Function buttons and corresponding indicator lights
When a function is selected, the corresponding indicator 
light will illuminate. 
If the selected function is not compatible with the program-
med wash cycle, the corresponding indicator light will flash 
and the function will not be activated.
If the selected 
function is not compatible with another 
function which has been selected previously, the indicator 
light corresponding to the first  function selected will 
flash and only the second  function will be activated; the 
indicator light corresponding to the enabled option will 
remain lit.
Note:  if the 
 function is active, all other non-compatible 
functions cannot be activated.

Wool    600 rpm
Silk    drain only
The spin speed may be lowered, or the spin cycle can be excluded altoget\
her by selecting the symbol 
.
The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a spin\
 speed which is higher than the maximum speed 
set for each wash cycle.
Functions
The various wash functions available with this washing machine will help\
 to achieve the desired results, every time.
To activate the functions:
1. Press the button corresponding to the desired function;
2. the function is enabled when the corresponding indicator light is ill\
uminated.
Note: If the indicator light flashes rapidly, this signals that this par\
ticular function may not be selected in conjunction with the 
selected wash cycle.
The “PRIME” technology optimises energy, water and time consumptio\
n according to the quantity of garments actually 
inserted in the machine. Moreover, pressing the 
 button allows for selecting the following options:
- Water: allows for reducing water consumption without having to renounce impecc\
able results (recommended for heavily 
soiled garments). 
- Energy: automatically selected by “PRIME”, this option reduces energy co\
nsumption (recommended for normally soiled 
garments). 
- Time: allows for reducing wash cycle duration (recommended for lightly soil\
ed garments).
! This may only be used in conjunction with wash cycles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (a\
ll three levels) and 6, 7, 8 ( - Energy and - Time levels).
 Extra Rinse
By selecting this option, the efficiency of the rinse is increased and o\
ptimal detergent removal is guaranteed. It is particularly 
useful for sensitive skin.
! It cannot be used in conjunction with wash cycles 8, 
, .
 Easy iron
By selecting this function, the wash and spin cycles will be modified in\
 order to reduce the formation of creases. At the end 
of the cycle the washing machine will perform slow rotations of the drum\
, while the EASY IRON and START/PAUSE indicator 
lights will flash (blue and orange respectively) and the 
 led will remain lit in a fixed manner. To end the cycle, press the 
START/PAUSE button or the EASY IRON button. For wash cycles number 10-12\
, the machine will end the cycle while the 
laundry is soaking; the EASY IRON and START/PAUSE indicator lights will \
flash. To drain the water so that the laundry may 
be removed, press the START/PAUSE button or the EASY IRON button.
! It cannot be used in conjunction with wash cycles 8, 9, 13, 
, .

Detergents and laundry
Detergent dispenser drawer
Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of 
detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessa-
rily result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause 
build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to 
environmental pollution.
! Do not use hand washing detergents because these 
create too much foam. Open the detergent dispen-
ser drawer and pour in the 
detergent or washing additive, 
as follows.
Compartment 1:   
Pre-wash detergent 
(powder)
Before pouring in the deter -
gent, make sure that extra 
compartment 4 has been 
removed.
Compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle 
(powder or liquid)
Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately 
prior to the start of the wash cycle.
compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.
Extra compartment 4: Bleach
Bleach cycle
! Traditional bleach should be used on sturdy white fa -
brics, and  delicate bleach for coloured fabrics, synthetics 
and for wool.
This option is particularly useful for the removal of stubborn 
stains. Place extra compartment  4 (supplied) into 
compartment 1. When pouring in the bleach, be careful 
not to exceed the “max” level marked on the central pivot 
(see figure).  To run the bleach cycle on its own, pour 
the bleach into extra compartment  4, set the “Rinse” 
 
programme and activate the “Stain removal” 
 option. To 
bleach during a wash cycle, pour in the detergent and any 
fabric softener you wish to use, set the desired wash cycle 
and enable the “Stain removal” 
 option. The use of extra 
compartment 4 excludes the “Prewash”.
Preparing the laundry
•	Divide	the	laundry	according	to:
  - the type of fabric/the symbol on the label
  - the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.
•	Empty	all	garment	pockets	and	check	the	buttons.
•	Do	not	exceed	the	listed	values,	which	refer	to	the	weight	 of the laundry when dry:
  Durable fabrics: max. 8 kg
  Synthetic fabrics: max. 3,5 kg
  Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg
  Wool: max. 2 kg 
Silk: max. 2 kg
How much does your laundry weigh?
  1 sheet 400-500 g
  1 pillow case 150-200 g
  1 tablecloth 400-500 g
  1 bathrobe 900-1200 g
  1 towel 150-250 g
Garments requiring special care
Jeans:  turn the garments inside out before washing and 
use liquid detergent. Use wash cycle  6.
Shirts:  use special wash cycle 7 to wash shirts in various 
fabrics and colours. It guarantees maximum care is taken 
of the garments and minimises the formation of creases.
Mix-Cool 30’:  this wash cycle was designed to wash 
lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 30 minutes and 
therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting wash 
cycle 8, it is possible to wash different fabrics (except for 
wool and silk items) using a cold cycle, up to a maximum 
load of 3 kg.
Wool:  wash cycle  9 can be used to wash all woollen gar -
ments in the machine, even those carrying the “hand wash 
only” 
 label. To achieve the best results, use a special 
detergent and do not exceed the maximum load of  2 kg.
Silk:  use special wash cycle  10 to wash all silk garments. 
We recommend the use of special detergent which has 
been designed to wash delicate clothes.  
Curtains:  we recommend you fold the curtains and place 
them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle  10.
Duvets: to wash double or single duvets (the weight 
of which should not exceed 3 kg), cushions or clothes 
padded with goose down such as puffa jackets, use the 
special wash cycle number  11 “Duvets”. We recommend 
that duvets are placed in the drum with their edges folded 
inwards  (see figure)  and that no more than ¾ of the total 
volume of the drum is used. To achieve the best results, 
we recommend that a liquid detergent is used and placed 
inside the detergent dispenser drawer.
Outwear  (wash cycle 12): is studied for washing water-re-
pellent fabrics and winter jackets (e.g. Gore-Tex, polyester, 
nylon); for best results, use a liquid detergent and dosage 
suitable for a half-load; pre-treat necks, cuffs and stains if 
necessary; do not use softeners or detergents containing 
softeners. Stuffed duvets cannot be washed with this 
programme.
Sport Shoes  (wash cycle 13): is for washing sports 
shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs 
simultaneously.

Precautions and tips
! This washing machine was designed and constructed in 
accordance with international safety regulations. The fol-
lowing information is provided for safety reasons and must 
therefore be read carefully.
General safety
•	 This	appliance	was	designed	for	domestic	use	only.
•	 This	appliance	is	not	intended	for	use	by	persons	(inclu -
ding children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental 
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless 
they have been given supervision or instruction concer -
ning use of the appliance by a person responsible for 
their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that 
they do not play with the appliance.
•	 The 	washing 	machine 	must 	only 	be 	used 	by 	adults, 	in 	accor -
dance with the instructions provided in this manual.
•	 Do	not	touch	the	machine	when	barefoot	or	with	wet	or	 damp hands or feet.
•	 Do	not	pull	on	the	power	supply	cable	when	unplugging	 the appliance from the electricity socket. Hold the plug 
and pull. 
•	 Do	not	open	the	detergent	dispenser	drawer	while	the	 machine is in operation.
•	 Do	not	touch	the	drained	water	as	it	may	reach	extreme- ly high temperatures. 
•	 Never	force	the	porthole	door.	This	could	damage	the	 safety lock mechanism designed to prevent accidental 
opening.
•	 If	the	appliance	breaks	down,	do	not	under	any	circum- stances access the internal mechanisms in an attempt 
to repair it yourself.
•	 Always	keep	children	well	away	from	the	appliance	while	 it is operating.
•	 The 	door 	can 	become 	quite 	hot 	during 	the 	wash 	cycle.
•	 If	the	appliance	has	to	be	moved,	work	in	a	group	of	two	 or three people and handle it with the utmost care. Never 
try to do this alone, because the appliance is very heavy.
•	 Before	loading	laundry	into	the	washing	machine,	make	 sure the drum is empty.
Load balancing system
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations  and 
to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates 
continuously at a speed which is slightly greater than the 
washing rotation speed. If, after several attempts, the load is 
not balanced correctly, the machine spins at a reduced spin 
speed. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the washing ma -
chine performs the distribution process instead of spinning. 
To encourage improved load distribution and balance, we 
recommend small and large garments are mixed in the load.
Disposal
•	 Disposing	of	the	packaging	materials:	observe	local	 regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.
•	 The 	European 	Directive 	2002/96/EC 	on 	Waste 		 	
  Electrical and Electronic Equipment, requires that   
  old household electrical appliances must not be    
  disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste  
  stream. Old appliances must be collected    
  separately in order to optimise the recovery and    
  recycling of the materials they contain and reduce  
  the impact on human health and the environment.  
  The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the    
  product reminds you of your obligation, that when  
  you dispose of the appliance it must be separately  
  collected. 
  Consumers should contact their local authority or     
  retailer for information concerning the correct    
  disposal of their old appliance.

Care and maintenance 
2. Unscrew the lid by rota-
ting it anti-clockwise (see 
figure): a little water may 
trickle out. This is perfectly 
normal.
3.  Clean the inside thoroughly.
4.  Screw the lid back on.
5.  Reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are secu-
rely in place before you push it onto the appliance.
Checking the water inlet hose
Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If there are any 
cracks, it should be replaced immediately: during the wash 
cycles, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose 
could easily split open.
! Never use second-hand hoses.
Cutting off the water and electricity 
supplies
•	 Turn	off	the	water	tap	after	every	wash	cycle.	This	will	 limit wear on the hydraulic system inside the washing 
machine and help to prevent leaks.
•	 Unplug	the	washing	machine	when	cleaning	it	and	du- ring all maintenance work.
Cleaning the washing machine
The outer parts and rubber components of the appliance 
can be cleaned using a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm 
soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer
To remove the drawer, press 
lever (1) and pull the drawer 
outwards (2) (see figure).
Wash it under running water; 
this procedure should be 
repeated frequently.
Caring for the door and drum of your 
appliance
•	 Always	leave	the	porthole	door	ajar	in	order	to	prevent	unpleasant odours from forming.
Cleaning the pump
The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning pump 
which does not require any maintenance. Sometimes, 
small items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into the 
protective pre-chamber at the base of the pump.
! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug the 
appliance.
To access the pre-chamber:
1. Take off the cover panel 
on the front of the machine 
by first pressing it in the 
centre and then pushing 
downwards on both sides 
until you can remove it (see 
figures).
