General safety
This appliance was designed for domestic use only.
This appliance can be used by children
Disposal
Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local
regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.
The European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment, requires that old household
electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the
normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances
must be collected separately in order to optimise the
recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and
reduce the impact on human health and the environment.
The crossed out wheeled bin symbol on the product
reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of
the appliance it must be separately collected. Consumers
should contact their local authority or retailer for information
concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.

activity is detected. Press the ON-OFF button briefly and
wait for the machine to start up again.
Display
GB
The display is useful when programming the machine and provides a great deal of information.
The duration of the available wash cycles and the remaining time of a running cycle appear; if the DELAY TIMER option has
been set, the countdown to the start of the selected wash cycle will appear.
Pressing the corresponding button allows you to view the maximum spin speed and temperature values attained by the
machine during the set wash cycle, or the values selected most recently, if these are compatible with the set wash cycle.

Partials cycles
The length of cycle shown on the display is an estimation only and is calculated assuming standard working conditions. The actual duration can vary according 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 directive 1061/2010: set wash cycle 3 with a temperature of 60C.
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 60C. The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated value.
2) Test wash cycle in compliance with directive 1061/2010: set wash cycle 4 with a temperature of 40C.
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 40C. The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated value.
For all Test Institutes:
2) Long wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle 4 with a temperature of 40C.
3) Long wash cycle for synthetics: set wash cycle 6 with a temperature of 40C.
Wash options
- If the selected option is not compatible with the set wash
cycle, the indicator light will flash and the option will not
be activated.
Time Saver
If you select this option, the wash cycle duration will be
reduced by up to 50%, depending on the selected cycle,
thereby guaranteeing simultaneous water and energy saving.
Use this cycle for lightly soiled garments.

Troubleshooting
Your washing machine could occasionally fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Service (see Service),
make sure that the problem cannot be solved easily using the following list.
GB
Problem:
The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or not enough to make contact.
There is no power to the socket, or the fuse has blown in the mains plug.
The top of the drain hose is too low - It must be fitted at a height between 65
and 100 cm from the floor (see Installation).
The drain hose is connected incorrectly to the sink trap allowing water to run
into the machine, the drain hose must be positioned higher than the bottom of
the sink to prevent water flowing down the drain hose.
The end of the drain hose has been pushed too far down the standpipe, the
U bracket should be fitted 100 mm from the end of the drain hose.
Programme times will vary due to water pressure, the incoming water
temperature and if the wash load goes out of balance. This will increase the
programme times accordingly (see The machine wont spin properly below).
The display time is for guidance only - it is not a precise time to finish and
may vary.
The feet have not been adjusted, enabling the machine to rock.
New Installation - Either the Transit Bolts including the plastic spacers, or the
Polystyrene Packaging have not been removed when installing the machine.
The machine is trapped between cabinets and/or walls.
The load is in a slight out of balance condition and machine is spinning, but at
a lower speed.
13
GB
There will always be some motor, pump and drum noise during spin.
The fill hose is loose, check both the cabinet and tap ends.
The fill hose is tight but still leaks, if so replace the rubber washers, or the fill
hose is missing the rubber washer.
The drain hose is not fixed in properly.
Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1 minute and then
switch back on again. If the problem persists contact Technical Assistance
Centre.
The machine requires a service wash. Run a Auto Clean wash cycle with
detergent and no laundry.
The door will not open until the door lock indicator light goes out shortly after
the program has finished.
If there is no power to the machine you need to perform the manual unlocking
procedure.
The door seal has drainage holes at the bottom - This is normal.
The water level is correct if it can be seen at the bottom of the door.
The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should display the text
for washing machines or hand and machine wash or the like).
Too much detergent was used - less detergent is required in soft water.
To comply with new energy saving regulations the machine is fitted with an
automatic standby system. Press ON/OFF button for 3 seconds to activate
the machine, it can then either be switched off or a new programme selected.
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
indicated 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.
