Warnings  
The following warnings are provided in the interests of overall safety. You must read them carefully before  
installing or using the appliance.  
Installation  
• Always unplug the appliance and shut the water  
tap after use.  
• All internal packing must be removed before using  
the appliance. Serious damage may be caused to  
the machine or adjacent furniture if the protective  
transit devices are not removed or are not  
completely removed. Refer to the relevant  
paragraph in the instruction book.  
General safety  
• Repairs to the machine must be carried out only by  
qualified personnel. Repairs carried out by  
inexperienced persons could cause serious  
danger. Contact your local Service Centre.  
• Any electrical work required to install this appliance  
must be carried out by a qualified electrician.  
• Never pull the power supply cable to remove the  
plug from the socket; always take hold of the plug  
itself.  
• Any plumbing work required to install this  
appliance must be carried out by a qualified  
plumber.  
• During high temperature wash programmes the  
door glass may get hot. Do not touch it!  
• 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!

63  
 
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.  
Any extension applied to the drainage hose should  
not be longer than 200 cm and its diameter must not  
be smaller than that of the original hose. Use a  
suitable fitting for the connection.  
The drain hose must not be kinked.  
P0021  
P1118  
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.  
For a correct functioning of the machine the  
drain hose must remain hooked on the proper  
support piece situated on the top part of the back  
side of the appliance.  
Water drainage  
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three  
ways:  
Electrical connection  
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.  
This machine is designed to operate on a 220-230 V,  
single-phase, 50 Hz supply.  
Check that your domestic electrical installation can  
take the maximum load required (2.2 kW), also  
taking into account any other appliances in use.  
Connect the machine to an earthed socket.  
The manufacturer declines any responsibility  
for damage or injury through failure to comply  
with the above safety precaution.  
Should the appliance power supply cable  
need to be replaced, this must be carried out  
by our Service Centre.  
P0022  
Please ensure that when the appliance is  
installed the power supply cable is easily  
accessible.  
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.

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.

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  
quantities to use.  
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.  
Use less detergent if:  
– you are washing a small load,  
– the laundry is lightly soiled,  
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated  
spirits or benzine, then rub with detergent paste.  
– large amounts of foam form during washing.  
(*) 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.

8. Altering an option or a programme  
12. At the end of the programme  
It is possible to change any option before the  
programme carries it out.  
Before you make any change, you must pause the  
washing machine by pressing the “Start/Pause”  
button.  
The machine stops automatically.  
If the anti-crease  
or Nuit silence/Nacht-cyclus  
(Night cycle) option has been selected, the END  
light remains lit, the “START/PAUSE” pilot light goes  
out, the door is locked to indicate that the water  
must be emptied out before opening the door.  
To do this turn the programme selector dial to “O”  
and then to programme Q (drain) or R (spin).  
Select the required spin speed by means of the  
relevant dial.

Depress the START/PAUSE button to interrupt a  
programme which is running, the corresponding light  
starts to flash. Depress the same button again to  
restart the programme.  
Remove the laundry from the drum and carefully  
check that the drum is empty so as to avoid any  
forgotten items being damaged in a subsequent  
wash (e.g. shrinking) or their colour running into a  
load of whites.  
If you do not intend to carry out another wash, close  
the water tap.  
Leave the door open to prevent the formation of  
mildew and unpleasant smells.  
10. Cancelling a programme  
Turn the selector dial to O to cancel a programme  
which is running.  
Now you can select a new programme.  
11. Opening the door after the  
programme has started  
First set the machine to PAUSE by pressing the  
START/PAUSE button.  
Wait approx. two minutes before opening the door  
to give the electric locking mechanism time to  
release it.  
If the door does not open, this means that the water  
temperature is above 55°C, that the water level is  
above the bottom edge of the door or that the drum  
is turning.  
If you cannot open the door but you need to open it  
you have to switch the machine off by turning the  
programme selector dial to “O”. After about 2  
minutes the door can be opened (pay attention to  
the water level and temperature!).  
Select the programme again and depress

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.
