! When the washing machine is installed, the

mains socket must be within easy reach.

! Do not use extensions or multiple sockets.

! The power supply cable must never be bent

or dangerously compressed.

• 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.

Push & Wash

GB This function allows for starting a wash cycle even when the machine is switched off without having to press the ON/OFF
button in advance, or after switching on the machine, without having activated any button and/or selector (otherwise, the
Push & Wash function will be deactivated). To start the Push & Wash cycle press and hold the relative button for 2 seconds.
The lit indicator light indicates that the cycle has started. This wash cycle is ideal for cotton or synthetic fabrics, as it washes
at a temperature of 30° and a maximum spin speed of 1000 rpm. Maximum load 3 kg. (Cycle duration 45’).
How does it work?
1. Load the laundry (cotton and/or synthetic garments) and close the door.
2. Pour the detergent and additives.
3. Start the programme by pressing and holding the Push & Wash button for 2 seconds. The relative indicator light turns
green and the door will lock (the DOOR LOCKED symbol turns on).
N.B.: starting the wash cycle through the Push & Wash button activates an automatic non-customisable cycle
recommended for cotton and synthetic fabrics. This programme does not allow for setting any additional options.
To open the door while an automatic cycle is under way, press the START/PAUSE button; if the DOOR LOCKED symbol
is switched off the door may be opened. Press the START/PAUSE button again to restart the wash cycle from the point at
which it was interrupted.
4. Once the programme is finished, the indicator light turns on.

The length of cycle shown on the display or in this booklet is an estimation only and is calculated assuming standard working conditions. The actual duration can vary accor-
ding to factors such as water temperature and pressure, the amount of detergent used, the amount and type of load inserted, load balancing and any wash options selected.
1) Test wash cycle in compliance with regulation 1061/2010: set wash cycle 9 with a temperature of 60°C.
This cycle is designed for cotton loads with a normal soil level and is the most efficient in terms of both electricity and water consumption; it should be used for garments
which can be washed at 60°C. The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated value.
2) Test wash cycle in compliance with regulation 1061/2010: set wash cycle 9 with a temperature of 40°C.
This cycle is designed for cotton loads with a normal soil level and is the most efficient in terms of both electricity and water consumption; it should be used for garments
which can be washed at 40°C. The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated value.
For all Test Institutes:
3) Long wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle 6 with a temperature of 40°C.
4) Synthetic program along: set wash cycle 7 with a temperature of 40°C.

Setting the temperature

Turning the TEMPERATURE knob to set the wash temperature (see Table of wash cycles). GB
The temperature may be lowered, or even set to a cold wash .
N.B.: If the set value is compatible with the selected cycle, the knob indicator will be lit (fixed light). If it isn’t, it will flash and 3
beeps will be heard.
The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a temperature which is higher than the maximum value
set for each wash cycle.
! Exception: if the 6 programme is selected, the temperature can be increased up to a value of 60°C.
! Exception: if the 7 programme is selected, the temperature can be increased up to a value of 60°C.

Setting the spin speed

Turning the SPIN SPEED knobn to set the spin speed for the selected wash cycle.
N.B.: If the set value is compatible with the selected cycle, the knob indicator will be lit (fixed light). If it isn’t, it will flash and 3
beeps will be heard.
The maximum spin speeds available for each wash cycle are as follows:
Wash cycles Maximum spin speed
Cottons 1200 rpm
Synthetics 1000 rpm
Wool 800 rpm
The spin speed may be lowered, or the spin cycle can be excluded altogether by selecting the symbol .
The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a spin speed which is higher than the maximum speed

by a buzzer (3 beeps), and only the latter option will be activated; the indicator light corresponding to the activated option
will turn on

Extra Rinse
By selecting this option, the efficiency of the rinse is increased and optimal detergent removal is guaranteed. It is particularly
useful for sensitive skin.

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 and the led will remain lit in a fixed manner. To end the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button or the EASY

- the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.
• Empty all garment pockets and check the buttons.
• Do not exceed the values listed in the “Table of wash

that the problem cannot be solved easily using the following list. GB

• There is no power to the socket, or the fuse has blown in the mains plug.

The wash cycle does not start. • The door is not closed properly.
• The ON/OFF button has not been pressed.
• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.
• The water tap has not been turned on to allow water to flow into the machine.
• A delayed start has been set.

The machine wont spin properly. • Out of Balance detected when attempting to go into a spin cycle - If this
happens the machine will continue to try to repeat the distribution of the load
required before the machine will go into higher spin speeds - This will increase
the programme time accordingly. This is a safety feature to prevent damage.
Out of Balance can be caused by washing a single heavy item (eg duvet, quilt,
etc). - Try the programme again using a different load.

(no lights).

General. • Your washing machine contains sensors that monitor progress during the wash
cycle (eg: Water Levels, Temperatures, Out of Balance loads, Wash time/progress).
Normally, if your machine successfully completes the cycle, there is unlikely to
be anything wrong!

Remember, you will be charged for a service call for problems caused by incorrect installation, as indica-
ted on pages 2 to 4.
Not emptying contents from pockets may cause pump or drain blockages, or may damage the machine.
Do not wash items which do not have a wash label, or wash items that are not intended as machine
washable.
