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. Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in or out. Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor. Water inlet Connect the water inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4" thread after having inserted the small filter “A” supplied with the machine. The other end of the inlet hose which connects to the machine can be turned in any direction. Simply loosen the fitting, rotate the hose and retighten the fitting, making sure there are no water 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. 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 height of 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. Run it along the floor; only the part near the drainage point must be raised. A P0003 P0022 P0023 P0021

mains voltage corresponds to the voltage given in the technical specifications. Check that your domestic electrical installation can take the maximum load required, also taking into account any other appliances in use. Connect the machine to an earthed socket, in accordance with current wiring regulations. Building-in This appliance has been designed to be built into the kitchen furniture. The recess should have the dimensions shown in picture A. Preparation and assembly of the door The machine is originally pre-arranged for the assembly of a door opening from right to left. In this case it is sufficient to screw in the hinges (1) and the counter-magnet (6) provided with the appliance, at the right level (Fig. B). The manufacturer declines any responsibility for damage or injury through failure to comply with the above safety precaution.

- width 595-598 mm - thickness 16-22 mm The height (C-Fig. C) depends on the height of the adjacent furniture's base. b) Hinges To mount the hinges it is necessary to drill two holes (dia. 35 mm, depth 14 mm) on the inner side of the door. The distance between the holes must be 416 mm. The distance (B) from upper edge of the door to the centre of the hole depends on the adjacent furniture's dimensions. The required dimensions are given in the picture C. The hinges will be fixed to the door by means of screws for wood (2-Fig. B). c) Mounting the door Fix the hinges to the machine by means of the M5x8 screws (3-Fig. B). The hinges can be adjusted to compensate for possible uneven thickness of the door. To align the door perfectly it is necessary to loosen the screw (3-Fig. B), adjust the door and tighten the screw again. d) Counter-magnet (6) The appliance is pre-arranged for a magnetic closure of the door. To enable a correct operation of this device, it is necessary to screw the counter-magnet (6) (steel disk + rubber ring) into the inner side of the door. Its position must correspond to the magnet (4) on the appliance (see picture D). If the door has to be opened from left to right, invert the position of the plates (7), the magnet (4) and the rubber cap (5) (Fig. B and E). Mount the countermagnet (6) and the hinges (1) as previously described. Important: the plastic screw (8) should never be loosened (Fig. B and E). P0226 P0984 6 4 8 D 4 6 5 1 2 3 7 8 E P0983

2 Operating pilot light This light is on whilst the machine is operating and goes out at the end of the programme. 3 START/STOP button Press this button to start the machine: the «pilot» light will come on. The same button is used to switch the machine off. Before selecting a programme or changing an ongoing programme the machine must be switched off by depressing the same button. 4 Spin speed reduction button By depressing this button the spin speed is reduced as follows: - from 800 to 400 rpm and from 1000 to 600 rpm (according to the model) in the programmes for cotton and linen - from 750 to 400 rpm in the programmes for synthetics, delicates and wool. 5 Rinse hold (anti-crease) button Press this button to make the machine stop with water in the drum after the synthetic or delicate wash cycles. This prevents any creasing which may take place if the clothes are left damp in the drum. When it is convenient for you to empty the machine, simply press this button again so that the machine can proceed to drain and spin, or turn the dial to the drain programme “Q”. If the button has not been depressed, the programme will end with a short spin. 6 Temperature selector dial Turn this dial to select the washing temperature. Position = cold wash. Depress the dial to pop it out. 7 Programme selector dial To select the required programme, turn this dial clockwise until the programme letter is exactly opposite the pointer. Depress the dial to pop it out.

Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label and the manufacturer’s washing instructions. Sort the laundry as follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens. Temperatures 90° for normally soiled white cottons and linen (e.g. tea cloths, towels, tablecloths, sheets...) 60° for normally soiled, colour fast garments (e.g. shirts, night dresses, pyjamas....) in linen, cotton or synthetic fibres and for lightly soiled white cotton (e.g. underwear). (cold) 30°-40° for delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed laundry including synthetic fibres and woollens bearing the label «pure new wool, machine washable, non-shrink» Before loading the laundry Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites may lose their “whiteness” in the wash. New coloured items may run in the first wash; they should therefore be washed separately the first time. Make sure that no metal objects are left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins). Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes. Remove persistent stains before washing. Rub particularly soiled areas with a special detergent or detergent paste. Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or tie them up in a bag or net. Maximum loads Recommended loads are indicated in the programme charts. General rules: cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed synthetics: drum no more than half full delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more than one third full Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient use of water and energy. For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size. Laundry weights The following weights are indicative: bathrobe 1200 g napkin 100 g quilt cover 700 g sheet 500 g pillow case 200 g tablecloth 250 g towelling towel 200 g tea cloth 100 g night dress 200 g ladies’ briefs 100 g man’s work shirt 600 g man’s shirt 200 g man’s pyjamas 500 g blouse 100 g men’s underpants 100 g Removing stains Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and detergent. It is therefore advisable to treat them prior to washing. Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried stains, soak overnight in water with a special detergent then rub in the soap and water. Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain remover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain; treat several times. Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay the garment on a soft surface and dab the stain with the fingertips and a cotton cloth. Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust removing product used cold. Be careful with rust stains which are not recent since the cellulose structure will already have been damaged and the fabric tends to hole. Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whites and fast coloureds only). Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and fast coloureds only). Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone (*), lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain. i

treat stains with methylated spirits. Remove any residual marks from white fabrics with bleach. Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse. Treat any residual marks with bleach. Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric first with acetone (*), then with acetic acid; treat any residual marks on white fabrics with bleach and then rinse thoroughly. Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated spirits or benzine, then rub with detergent paste. (*) do not use acetone on artificial silk Detergents and additives Good washing results also depend on the choice of detergent and use of the correct quantities to avoid waste and protect the environment. Although biodegradable, detergents contain substances which, in large quantities, can upset the delicate balance of nature. The choice of detergent will depend on the type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the colour, washing temperature and degree of soiling. All commonly available washing machine detergents may be used in this appliance: – powder detergents for all types of fabric, – powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C max) and woollens, – liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature wash programmes (60°C max) for all types of fabric, or special for woollens only. The detergent and any additives must be placed in the appropriate compartments of the dispenser drawer before starting the wash programme. If using concentrated powder or liquid detergents, a programme without prewash must be selected. Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer compartment marked just before starting the programme. Any fabric softener or starching additives must be poured into the compartment marked before starting the wash programme. The bleaching agent (chlorine) can be used only for white or fast coloured cotton and linen items. Pour it into the compartment marked . Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations on quantities to use. Quantity of detergent to be used The type and quantity of detergent will depend on the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and hardness of the water used. Water hardness is classified in so-called “degrees” of hardness. Information on hardness of the water in your area can be obtained from the relevant water supply company, or from your local authority. Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on quantities to use. Use less detergent if: – you are washing a small load – the laundry is lightly soiled – large amounts of foam form during washing. 0,0-15 16-25 26-37 more than 37 Level 1 2 3 4 soft medium hard very hard 00-07 08-14 15-21 more than 21 Characteristic Degrees German °dH French °T.H.

n Problem Possible cause n The machine does not start up: n Check that the door is firmly closed. n Check that the machine is plugged in and that there is power at the socket. n Check that the main fuse has not blown. n Check that the programme selector dial is positioned correctly and that the start/stop button has been depressed. n The machine does not fill: n Check that the water tap is open. n Check that water is coming out of the tap. n Check that the inlet hose is not squashed or kinked. n Check that the filter in the inlet hose is not blocked. n Check that the door is closed. n The machine does not empty and/or does not spin: n Check that the drain hose is not squashed or kinked. n The drain filter is blocked. Clean it. n The anticrease option has been selected. n The laundry is not evenly distribuited in the drum. n There is water on the floor: n Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent (creates too much foam) has been used. n Check whether there are any leaks from one of the inlet hose fittings. It is not always easy to see this as the water runs down the hose; check to see if it is damp. n Check that the drain hose is not damaged. n Check that the drain filter has been refitted correctly after cleaning. n Unsatisfactory washing results n Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used. n Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing. n The correct temperature or programme was not selected. n The machine fills then empties immediately n The end of the drain hose is too low. Refer to relevant paragraph in “water drainage” section. Problems which you can resolve yourself

n Check that all the transit bolts and packing have been removed. n Check that the machine is not resting against anything. n Check that the support feet are resting firmly on the ground. n Check that the laundry is evenly distributed in the drum. n Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum. n The door will not open: n The programme is still running. n The door lock has not yet been released. n There is water in the drum. n Spinning starts late or the machine does not spin: n 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 6 minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will not spin. In this case, redistribute the load manually and reselect the spin programme.
