Use • Never pull the power supply cable to remove the plug from the socket; always take hold of the plug itself. • This appliance is designed for domestic use. It must not be used for purposes other than those for which it was designed. • During high temperature wash programmes the door glass may get hot. Do not touch it! • Only wash fabrics which are designed to be machine washed. Follow the instructions on each garment label. • 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. • 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. 4 9/20/01 3:48 PM Pagina 5 (Nero/Process Black pellicola) Child safety • Make sure that children or pets do not climb into the drum. • 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. • 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. • The packaging components (e.g. plastic film, polystyrene) can be dangerous to children - danger of suffocation! Keep them out of children’s reach. • Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children’s reach. Disposal Packaging materials The materials marked with the symbol recyclable. Machine are Use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance. Help to keep your country tidy! >PE<=polyethylene >PS<=polystyrene >PP<=polypropylene This means that they can be recycled by disposing of them properly in appropriate collection containers. 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, so saving energy. • 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. 5 ENGLISH 132996540.qxd 132996540.qxd 9/20/01 3:48 PM Pagina 6 (Nero/Process Black pellicola) Technical specifications DIMENSIONS Height Width Depth 85 cm 60 cm 57 cm MAXIMUM LOAD Cotton Synthetics Delicates Woollens 7 kg 3 kg 3 kg 2 kg SPIN SPEED 1200 rpm max.

You are advised to keep all transit devices so that they can be refitted if the machine ever has to be transported again. 1. Using a spanner, unscrew and remove the rear right-hand bolt and lay the machine on its back, taking care not to squash the hoses. This can be avoided by placing one of the corner packing pieces between the machine and the floor. P0256 P0020 Positioning Install the machine on a flat hard floor. 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. P0255 2. Remove the polystyrene block from the bottom of the machine and release the two plastic bags. 3. Carefully remove the right-hand bag (1) then the left-hand bag (2) by pulling them towards the centre of the machine. 2 P1051 1 Water inlet P1068 Connect the water inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4" thread. P1066 4. Insert the bottom cover and then push its tongue in the slit. 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. P1075 5. Set the machine upright and remove the two remaining bolts from the back. P0351 6. Pull out the three plastic spacers from the holes into which the bolts were fitted. 7 P0021 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. ENGLISH Installation 132996540.qxd 9/20/01 3:48 PM Pagina 8 (Nero/Process Black pellicola) The drain hose must not be kinked. Run it along the floor; only the part near the drainage point must be raised. The inlet hose is provided with a water stop device, which protects against damage caused by water leaks in the hose which could develop due to natural ageing of the hose. This fault is shown by a red sector in the window “A”. Should this occur, turn the water tap off and refer to your Service Centre to replace the hose. A P0023 P0352 Electrical connection Water drainage This machine is designed to operate on a 220 V, single-phase, 60 Hz supply. The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways: Check that your domestic electrical installation can take the maximum load required (2.2 kW), also taking into account any other appliances in use. 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. 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 should be carried out by our Service Centre. Important If the socket in your house is not earthed, you have to do a separate earth connection using the special green and yellow ground wire which you can find on the back of your appliance. This wire has to be connected to an efficient earth. If, instead, your domestic wiring system is already earthed, this wire must not be used and we suggest you to simply cut it off and to throw it away. P0022 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 power supply cable must be easily accessible after installing the appliance. 8 132996540.qxd 9/20/01 3:48 PM Pagina 9 (Nero/Process Black pellicola) This new washing machine meets all modern needs for effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy and detergent consumption. • The possibility of selecting the temperature, spin speed and all the options offered by this machine gives you truly “customised” washing. • The DELAY START option allows you to delay starting of the wash programme to any time of day, so allowing you for instance to make use of overnight economy electricity tariffs. • The programme progress display shows the programme steps selected and the programme phase which is running. • The special HAND WASH programme with its new delicate wash system treats your woollens and delicate items with extreme care. • The balance control device ensures the machine is stable during the spin.

Sort the laundry as follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens. Temperatures 90° 60° for normally soiled white cottons and linen (e.g. tea cloths, towels, tablecloths, sheets...) 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). 1200 g 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 (cold) for delicate items (e.g. net curtains), 30°-40° mixed laundry including synthetic fibres and woollens. blouse 100 g men’s underpants 100 g Before loading the laundry Removing stains Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites may lose their “whiteness” in the wash. Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and detergent. It is therefore advisable to treat them prior to washing. New coloured items may run in the first wash; they should therefore be washed separately the first time. 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. Make sure that no metal objects are left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins). Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain remover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain; treat several times. 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. Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay the garment on a soft surface and dab the stain with the fingertips and a cotton cloth. Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or tie them up in a bag or net. 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. Maximum loads Recommended loads are indicated in the programme charts. Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whites and fast coloureds only). General rules: Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and fast coloureds only). Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed; Synthetics: drum no more than half full; Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone (*), lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain. Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more than one third full. Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat stains with methylated spirits. Remove any residual marks from white fabrics with bleach. Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient use of water and energy. For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size. Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse. Treat any residual marks with bleach. 15 ENGLISH 132996540.qxd 132996540.qxd 9/20/01 3:48 PM Pagina 16 (Nero/Process Black pellicola) Quantity of detergent to be used 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. The type and quantity of detergent will depend on the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and hardness of the water used. Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated spirits or benzine, then rub with detergent paste. (*) do not use acetone on artificial silk. 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. Detergents and additives Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on quantities to use. 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. Use less detergent if: – you are washing a small load, – the laundry is lightly soiled, – large amounts of foam form during washing. 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. The washing machine incorporates a recirculation system which allows an optimal use of the concentrated detergent. 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. Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations on quantities to use and do not exceed the «MAX» mark in the detergent dispenser drawer. 16 9/20/01 3:48 PM Pagina 17 (Nero/Process Black pellicola) International wash code symbols These symbols appear on fabric labels, in order to help you choose the best way to treat your laundry.

How to change a programme during its cycle Pay attention to the level and temperature of the water in the machine! When you close the door and press the ON/OFF button again, the machine will resume the programme from the point where it had been interrupted. Before you make any change, you must pause the machine by pressing the START/PAUSE button. It is possible to change any phase before the programme carries it out. Changing the type of fabric or temperature is possible, obviously, only during the washing phase. When you make a change in these two parameters, the machine will resume the cycle from the beginning. 14. End of programme At the end of the programme, the machine stops automatically, gives an audible signal, and displays a blinking zero. If it is necessary to drain the water in order to change the programme in progress, proceed as follows: If you had selected the RINSE HOLD option, the light of the START/PAUSE button flashes to indicate that the water must be drained. The display shows a steadily lit zero. When the programme has been completed, a blinking zero appears on the display and the audible signal is given. • PAUSE the machine by pressing the START/PAUSE button; • press the RESET only the DRAIN light button repeatedly, until remains lit; • press the START/PAUSE button again. The DOOR LOCKED light goes out at once. When the water has been drained, the display shows a blinking zero. You may now select a new programme and press the START/PAUSE button to start it. Press the RESET button repeatedly to erase the programme that has just been carried out. If you omit to do this, the next time you switch the machine on, the blinking zero will appear on the display and you will hear the audible signal. 12. How to cancel a programme during its cycle Note: when you switch the machine on, if you must erase the previously performed programme, it is also sufficient to press the FABRIC button and select a new programme. To cancel a programme that is being carried out, first pause the machine by pressing the START/PAUSE button, then press the RESET button repeatedly, until the display shows three blinking dashes. Press the ON/OFF button to switch the machine off. The relevant light will go out. Remove the laundry from the machine. 13. How to open the door during the cycle of a programme Check whether the drum is completely empty, by rotating it with your hand. The purpose of this is to prevent any items of laundry from remaining accidentally in the drum, where they might get damaged in a subsequent wash (e.g. by shrinking) or bleed colour into another load of laundry. You can open the door, after having set the machine to PAUSE, provided the following conditions exist: • the machine is not in the heating phase beyond 40°C; • the level of the water is not high; We advise you to close the water supply tap and disconnect the plug from the socket. • the drum is not turning. Leave the door ajar in order to air the machine. If these requirements are met, when you pause the machine, the DOOR LOCKED light goes out after 2 minutes and the door can be opened. Should it not be possible to open the door, and should it be absolutely necessary to do so, switch the machine off by pressing the ON/OFF button. After approximately 2 minutes, you can open the door. 20 132996540.qxd 9/20/01 3:48 PM Pagina 21 (Nero/Process Black pellicola) Washing programmes Type of laundry and symbols on labels Max. load Programme/ temperature Description of programme Available options 7 kg Cottons 60°-90°C Wash at 60°-90°C 3 rinses Long spin SPIN SPEED RINSE HOLD PREWASH EXTRA RINSE QUICK WASH BIO - ECONOMY 7 kg Cottons 60°-40°-30°C COLD Wash at 60°-40°-30°C or cold 3 rinses Long spin SPIN SPEED RINSE HOLD PREWASH EXTRA RINSE QUICK WASH BIO - ECONOMY 3 kg Synthetics 60°-40°-30°C COLD Wash at 60°-40°-30°C or cold 3 rinses Short spin SPIN SPEED RINSE HOLD PREWASH EXTRA RINSE QUICK WASH BIO - ECONOMY 3 kg Delicates 40°-30°C COLD Wash at 40°-30°C or cold 3 rinses Short spin SPIN SPEED RINSE HOLD PREWASH EXTRA RINSE QUICK WASH Wool Items to be hand washed 2 kg Hand wash Wash at 40°-30°C or cold 3 rinses Short spin SPIN SPEED RINSE HOLD Slightly soiled laundry 3 kg Wash at 60°-40°-30°C or cold 2 rinses Short spin SPIN SPEED RINSE HOLD 60 95 White cotton: e.g. sheets, tablecloths, household linen 60 40 30 Coloured cotton: e.g. shirts, blouses, underwear, towels, household linen 60 40 30 Synthetic fabrics and blends: e.g. shirts, blouses, underwear 40 30 Delicate fabrics: e.g. acrylic fabrics, viscose, polyester, synthetic blends 40 30 40°-30°C COLD Quick programme 60°-40°-30°C COLD 21 ENGLISH Programme chart 132996540.qxd 9/20/01 3:48 PM Pagina 22 (Nero/Process Black pellicola) Maintenance 1. Door seal Detergent can also accumulate inside the drawer recess: clean it with an old toothbrush. Refit the drawer after cleaning. Check from time to time the door seal and eliminate eventual possible objects that could be trapped in the fold. P0038 P1050 4. Drain filter 2. Bodywork The drain filter collects threads and small objects inadvertently left in the laundry. Check regularly that the filter is clean. Clean the outside of the machine with warm water and a neutral, non-abrasive household detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Open the filter door. Place a container under the filter to catch any spillage. Important: do not use methylated spirits, solvents or similar products to clean the bodywork. Unscrew the filter and remove it. 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. P0861 To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the additive compartments can be removed. C0066 P0859 C0067 P0860 P0040 Clean the filter under a running tap, then refit it, screwing it fully in. 22 9/20/01 3:48 PM Pagina 23 (Nero/Process Black pellicola) 5. Water inlet filter The dangers of freezing If you notice that the machine is taking longer to fill, check that the filter in the water inlet hose is not blocked. If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C, certain precautions should be taken. ● Turn off the water tap. Turn off the water tap. ● Unscrew the inlet hose. Unscrew the hose from the tap. To do this push first the yellow button on the hose. ● Clean the filter with a stiff brush. Unhook the drain hose from the rear support and position the end of this hose and that of the inlet hose in a bowl. Run the draining programme. Screw the hose back onto the tap. To do this: 6. Emergency emptying out ● Switch the machine on ● Select a washing programme ● Press the RESET ● Press START/PAUSE button three times If the water is not discharged (outlet pump is blocked, filter or drain hose are clogged), proceed as follows to empty out the machine: ● Disconnect the appliance. • pull out the plug from the power socket; ● Screw the inlet hose and reposition the drain hose. ● When you intend to start the machine up again, make sure that the room temperature is above 0°C. • close the water tap; • if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down; • place a bowl on the floor; • put the drain hose end into the bowl and let the water come out. Should it not be possible to have access to the drain hose because, for example, the appliance is built in the kitchen furniture, slightly loosen the drain filter after placing a bowl on the floor, to let the water come out slowly. At the end screw the filter again. 23 button ENGLISH 132996540.qxd 132996540.qxd 9/20/01 3:48 PM Pagina 24 (Nero/Process Black pellicola) Something not working? Problems which you can resolve yourself. During machine operation it is possible that one of the following alarm codes appears on the display: - E10: problem with the water supply - E20: problem with water draining - E40: door open Once the problem has been eliminated, press the START/PAUSE button If after all checks, the problem persists, contact your local Service Centre. Problem to restart the programme. Possible cause • The machine does not start up: • The door is not firmly closed. (E40) • The machine is not plugged in or there is no power at the socket. • The main fuse has blown. • The START/PAUSE button has not been depressed. • The DELAY START option has been selected. • The machine does not fill: • • • • • The machine fills then empties immediately: • The end of the drain hose is too low. Refer to relevant paragraph in “water drainage” section. • The machine does not empty and/or does not spin: • The drain hose is squashed or kinked. (E20) • The option has been selected. • The drain filter is clogged. (E20) • There is water on the floor: • Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent (creates too much foam) has been used. • 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. • Unsatisfactory washing results: • Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used. • Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing. • The correct temperature or fabric was not selected. • Excessive laundry load. • The machine vibrates or is noisy: • 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. • The door will not open: • The programme is still running, the drum is turning. • The door lock has not yet released (door locked light on). • The water level is above the bottom edge of the door. • The machine is heating the water. 24 The water tap is closed. (E10) The inlet hose is squashed or kinked. (E10) The filter in the inlet hose is blocked. (E10) The door is not properly closed. (E40) 9/20/01 3:48 PM Pagina 25 (Nero/Process Black pellicola) Problem Possible cause • Spinning starts late or the laundry is not spun enough: • 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 few minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will spin at a lower speed or will not spin. If at the end of the programme the laundry is not spun enough, redistribute the load manually and select the spin programme. Water is not visible in the machine. The machine, which is the result of modern technology, runs in a very economical way with low water consumption. Performance is nevertheless excellent. The machine makes an unusual noise. The machine is fitted with a commutator motor which improves machine performance. P1035UK P1034UK 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. Mod. .......... Prod. No. ........... Ser.
