BEFORE USING THE WASHING MACHINE
1.Removing the packaging and inspection
After unpacking, make sure that the washing
machine is undamaged. If in doubt, do not use the
washing machine. Contact After-Sales Service or
your local retailer.
Check that the accessories and supplied parts are
all present.
Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags,
polystyrene parts, etc.) out of reach of children,
as they are potentially dangerous.
If the appliance was exposed to the cold prior to
delivery, keep it at room temperature for a few
hours before operating.
2.Remove the transport bolts
The washing machine is fitted with transport
bolts to avoid any possible damage to the interior
during transport. Before using the machine, it is
imperative that the transport bolts are removed.
After their removal, cover the openings with the
4 enclosed plastic caps.
3.Install the washing machine
Remove the protective film from the control panel
(if available on your model).
Move the appliance without lifting it by the worktop.
Install the appliance on a solid and level floor
surface, preferably in a corner of the room.
Make sure that all four feet are stable and resting
on the floor and then check that the washing
machine is perfectly level (use a spirit level).
In case of wooden or so-called “floating floors”
(for instance certain parquet or laminate floors),
place the appliance on a 60 x 60 cm sheet of
plywood at least 3 cm in thickness which is
secured to the floor.
4.Water inlet
Connect the water supply inlet hose in
accordance with the regulations of your local
water company.
Water inlet: Cold water only
(if no other information on
your programme chart)
Water tap: 3/4” threaded hose
connector
Water pressure
(flow pressure): 100-1000 kPa (1-10 bar).
Use only new hoses to connect the washing
machine to the water supply. Used hoses must
not be used and should be discarded.
5.Drain
Connect the drain hose to the siphon or hook it
over the edge of a sink by means of the “U” bend
supplied.
If the washing machine is connected to an
integrated drainage system, ensure the latter is
equipped with a vent to avoid simultaneous
loading and draining of water (siphoning effect).
6.Electrical connection
Electrical connections must be carried out by a
qualified technician in compliance with the
manufacturer’s instructions and current standard
safety regulations.
Data regarding voltage, power consumption and
protection requirements is given on the inside of
the door.
The appliance must be connected to the mains by
means of a socket with an earth connection in
accordance with current regulations. The
washing machine must be earthed by law. The
manufacturer declines all liability for damage to
property or injury to persons or animals due to
non-compliance with the directions given above.
Do not use extension leads or multiple sockets.
Before any maintenance on the washing machine
disconnect it from the mains supply.
After installation, access to the mains plug or to
disconnection from mains supply must be
ensured at all times via a double-pole switch.
Do not operate the washing machine if it has
been damaged during transport. Inform the
After-Sales Service.
Mains cable replacement is only to be carried out
by After-Sales Service.
The appliance must only be used in the
household for the prescribed uses.
Minimum housing dimensions:
Width: 600 mm
Height: 850 mm
Depth: 600 mm
GB 6
Where to put detergent and additives
The detergent drawer has three chambers (fig. “A”).
Prewash Chamber
Detergent for the prewash
Main Wash Chamber
Detergent for the main wash
Stain remover
Water softener
Softener Chamber
Fabric softener
Liquid starch
Pour additives only up to the “MAX” mark.
Using chlorine bleach
Wash your laundry in the desired programme (Cotton, Synthetics),
adding an appropriate amount of chlorine bleach to the SOFTENER
chamber (close the detergent dispenser carefully).
Immediately after end of programme, start the “Rinse and Spin”
programme to eliminate any residual bleach smell; if you want,
you can add softener.
Never put both chlorine bleach and softener into the softener
chamber at the same time.
Using starch
Select the “Rinse and Spin” programme and check that the spin
speed is adjusted to not more than 800 rpm.
Start the programme, pull out the detergent dispenser so that you
can see approximately 3 cm of the softener chamber.
Pour the starch solution prepared into the softener chamber
while the water is running into the detergent dispenser.
How to position the separator in the main wash
chamber for powder or liquid detergent
For use with powder detergent: place the separator in the higher
position.
Lift the separator until its top can be reclined. Place its hooks on the
upper end of the back guide rails and slightly push the separator
down to fix it (fig. “B” and “C”).
A gap should remain between the separator and the bottom of the main
wash chamber, if the separator has been correctly installed (fig. “B” and
C”).
For use with liquid detergent: place the separator in the lower position.
Secure the separator in the chamber using the front guide rails.
Position the separator so that it touches the bottom of the main
wash chamber (fig. “D”).

REMOVING THE FILTER/DRAINING
RESIDUAL WATER
We recommend that you check and clean the filter
regularly, at least two or three times a year.
Especially:
If the appliance is not draining properly or if it fails to
perform spin cycles.
If the “Clean filter” indication lights up:
IMPORTANT: make sure the water has cooled
before draining the appliance. Stop the appliance
and unplug it.
1. Remove the plinth or open the cover (depending on
the model) by using the separator of the detergent
dispenser (fig. A / B).
2. Place a container beneath it. If your washing machine
has the filter situated behind the plinth (see pictures
A” and “C”), use a broad and very flat container with
a maximum height of 2 cm.
3. Open the filter but do not remove it completely.
Slowly turn the filter counterclockwise (fig. C) until the
water begins to drain out.
4. Wait until all the water has drained.
5. Now unscrew the filter completely and remove it.
6. Tilt the appliance forwards carefully to allow the water
to flow out.
7. Clean the filter and the filter chamber.
8. Check that the pump rotor moves freely.
9. Re-insert the filter and screw it in clockwise as far as it
will go.
10. Pour about 1 litre of water into the detergent drawer
to reactivate the “Eco system”. Check that the filter is
inserted properly and securely.
11. Reinstall the plinth or the cover, depending on the
model.
12. Plug in the appliance again.
13. Select a programme and start it.

3. Wash all the parts under running water.
4. Refit the separator and the cover grid in the detergent dispenser
and fit the dispenser back inside its housing.
GB 9
Water supply hose(s)
If a supply hose shows a damage, replace it by a new hose of the
same type, available through our After-Sales Service or your
specialist dealer.
If your supply hose has a transparent hose coating (fig. “C”),
periodically check the colour of the transparent coating. If the
coating begins to turn red, this is an indication that the hose may
have a leak and should be replaced. Contact our After-Sales Service
team or specialist dealer to obtain a replacement hose.
Cleaning the mesh filter in the water supply hose(s)
1. Close the tap and loosen the inlet hose on the tap.
2. Clean the internal mesh filter and screw the water inlet hose back
onto the tap.
