• After having installed the machine, check that it is
not standing on its electrical supply cable.
• If the appliance is placed on a carpeted floor,
ensure that air can circulate freely between the feet
and the floor.
Child safety
• Children are often not aware of how dangerous
electrical appliances can be. When the machine is
working, children should be carefully supervised
and not be allowed to play with the appliance.
Use
• This appliance is designed for domestic use. It
must not be used for purposes other than those for
which it was designed.
• The packaging components (e.g. plastic film,
polystyrene) can be dangerous to children - danger
of suffocation! Keep them out of children’s reach.
• Only wash fabrics which are designed to be
machine washed. Follow the instructions on each
garment label.
• Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children’s
reach.
• Make sure that children or pets do not climb into
the drum. To avoid this the machine incorporates a
special feature. To activate this device, rotate the
button (without pressing it) inside the door
clockwise until the groove is horizontal. If
necessary use a coin.
• Do not overload the appliance. Follow the
instructions in the instruction book.
• Make sure that all pockets are empty. Objects
such as coins, safety pins, pins and screws can
cause extensive damage.
To disable this device and restore the possibility of
closing the door, rotate the button anti-clockwise
until the groove is vertical.
• Do not machine wash garments saturated with
petroleum, methylated spirits, trichlorethylene, etc.
If such fluids have been used to remove stains
prior to washing, wait until they have completely
evaporated from the fabric before placing
garments in the appliance.
• Place small items such as socks, belts, etc. in a
cloth bag or pillowcase to prevent them getting
trapped between the drum and the tub.
• Use only the recommended quantities of fabric
softener. An excessive amount could damage the
laundry.
P1131
• When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the
electrical supply cable and destroy the plug with
the remaining cable. Disable the door catch in
order to prevent children from becoming trapped
inside while playing.
• Leave the porthole door slightly ajar when the
appliance is not in use. This preserves the door
seal and prevents the formation of musty smells.
• Always check that water has emptied out before
opening the door. If not, drain the water following
the instructions in the instruction book.

Tips for environmental protection
To save water, energy and to help protect the
environment, we recommend that you follow these
tips:
• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited
soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be
washed at a lower temperature.
• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without
prewashing in order to save detergent, water and
time (the environment is protected too!).
• Measure out detergent according to the water
hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of
laundry being washed.
• The machine works more economically if it is fully
loaded. Do not overload!

Your new washing machine
This new machine meets all modern requirements for effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy and
detergent consumption.
• The programme selector dial combines the function of programme and temperature selection, making it
easier to set the programme.
• The special wool programme with its new delicate wash system treats your woollens with extreme care.
• The automatic cooling of the washing water from 95° to 60°C before draining will prevent old drain pipes
from being deformed and will reduce thermal shock to fabrics, helping to prevent creasing.
• The unbalance detection device prevents vibration during spinning.
• The ECO valve allows total use of detergent and reduces water consumption so saving energy.

lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat
stains with methylated spirits. Remove any residual
marks from white fabrics with bleach.
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.
Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and
treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse. Treat any
residual marks with bleach.
Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on

Maintenance
1. Bodywork
Detergent can also accumulate inside the drawer
recess: clean it with an old toothbrush. Refit the
drawer after cleaning.
Clean the outside of the machine with soap and
water only. Rinse with clean water and dry with a
soft cloth.
Important: do not use methylated spirits, solvents
or similar products to clean the bodywork.
2. Door seal
Check from time to time the door seal and eliminate
eventual possible objects that could be trapped in
the fold.
P0038
4. Water inlet filter
If you notice that the machine is taking longer to fill,
check that the filter in the water inlet hose is not
blocked.
Turn off the water tap.
Unscrew the hose from the tap.
Clean the filter with a stiff brush.
Screw the hose back onto the tap.
P1050
3. Detergent dispenser drawer
After a while, detergents and fabric softeners leave
deposits in the drawer.
Clean the drawer from time to time by rinsing it
under a running tap. To remove the drawer from the
machine, press the button in the rear left-hand
corner.
P1090
To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the additive
compartments can be removed.
5. Drain pump
The pump should be inspected regularly and
particularly if
• the machine does not empty and/or spin
• the machine makes an unusual noise during
draining due to objects such as safety pins, coins
etc. blocking the pump.
Proceed as follows:
P1147
P1146
• Disconnect the appliance.
• If necessary wait until the water has cooled down.
• Open the pump door.
P1114
75
• Place a bowl on the floor to collect any spillage.
7. Frost precautions
• Pull out the emergency emptying hose, place it in
the bowl and remove its cap.
• When no more water comes out, unscrew the
If the machine is installed in a place where the
temperature could drop below 0°C, proceed as
follows:
• Remove the plug from the socket.
• Close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet
hose from the tap.
• Place the end of the emergency emptying hose
and that of the inlet hose in a bowl placed on the
floor and let water drain out.
• Screw the water inlet hose back on and reposition
the emergency emptying hose after having put the
cap on again.
P1115
By doing this, any water remaining in the machine is
removed, avoiding the formation of ice and,
consequently, breakage of the affected parts.
pump cover and remove it.
• Remove any objects from the pump impeller by
rotating it.
When you use the machine again, make sure that
the ambient temperature is above 0°C.
• Put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose
and place the latter back in its seat.
Important!
Every time you drain the water through the
emergency emptying hose you must pour 2 litres of
water into the main wash compartment of the
detergent drawer and then run the drain
programme. This will activate the ECO valve
avoiding that part of the detergent remains unused
at next washing.
P1117
• Screw the pump cover fully in.
• Close the pump door.
6. Emergency emptying out
If the water is not discharged, proceed as follows to
empty out the machine:
• pull out the plug from the power socket;
• close the water tap;
• if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;
• open the pump door;
• place a bowl on the floor and place the end of the
emergency emptying hose into the bowl. Remove
its cap. The water should drain by gravity into the
bowl. Whe the bowl is full, put the cap back on the
hose. Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until
water stops flowing out;
• clean the pump if necessary as previously
described;
• replace the emergency emptying hose in its seat
after having plugged it;
• screw the pump cover again and close the door.

Something not working?
Problems which you can resolve yourself, before calling the After Sales Service.
During machine operation it is possible that the END (Fin/Einde) light starts to flash:
4 flashes= the door has not been closed
2 flashes= the machine does not empty
1 flash= the machine does not fill.
At the same time the buzzer sounds.
Once the problem has been eliminated, press the START/PAUSE button to restart the programme. If after all
checks, the problem persists, contact your local Service Centre.
Problem
Possible cause
• The door is not firmly closed.
• The machine does not start up:
• The machine is not plugged in or there is no power
at the socket.
• The main fuse has blown.
• The programme selector dial is not positioned correctly
and the START/PAUSE button has not been depressed.
• The water tap is closed.
• The machine does not fill:
• The inlet hose is squashed or kinked.
• The filter in the inlet hose is blocked.
• The door is not properly closed.
• The end of the drain hose is too low. Refer to
relevant paragraph in “water drainage” section.
• The machine fills then empties
immediately:
• The drain hose is squashed or kinked.
• The machine does not empty
and/or does not spin:
• A programme with option
,
or Nuit
silence/Nacht-cyclus (Night cycle) has been
selected.
• The drain pump is clogged.
• Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent
(creates too much foam) has been used.
• There is water on the floor:
• 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.
• The drain hose is damaged.
• The cap on the emergency emptying hose has not
been replaced after cleaning the pump.
• Too little or too much detergent has been used.
• An unsuitable detergent has been used.
• Unsatisfactory washing results:
• The machine vibrates or is noisy:
• Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to
washing.
• The correct temperature was not selected.
• Excessive laundry load.
• 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.
77
Problem
Possible cause
• The programme is still running, the drum is turning.
• The door will not open:
• The door lock has not been released.
• The water level is above the bottom edge of the
door.
• The machine is heating the water.
• The machine, which is the result of modern
technology, runs in a very economical way with
low water consumption. Performance is
nevertheless excellent.
• Water is not visible in the
machine:
• 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.
• Spinning starts late or the
machine does not spin:
• 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.
• The machine makes an unusual
noise
• This is most probably due to non soluble
• Detergent residue is left after the
wash cycle
components contained in modern detergents. It is
not a sign of inadequate rinsing. Brush or shake
the garments and, if necessary, wash them again.
• Modern detergents can produce foam even after
rinsing, but this will not affect the quality of the
wash.
• Foam remains after the last rinse
If you are unable to identify or solve the problem,
contact our service centre. Before telephoning,
make a note of the model, serial number and
purchase date of your machine: the Service Centre
will require this information.
