• 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.

• Any electrical work required to install this appliance must be carried out by a qualified electrician.

• Any plumbing work required to install this appliance must be carried out by a qualified plumber.

• 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.

• The power supply cable only can be replaced by a person of the Technical Service.

Use

• This appliance is designed for domestic use. It must not be used for purposes other than those for which it was designed.

• 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.

• Use only the recommended quantities of fabric softener. An excessive amount could damage the laundry.

• 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.

• Always unplug the appliance and shut the water tap after use.

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.

• Never pull the power supply cable to remove the plug from the socket; always take hold of the plug itself.

• During high temperature wash programmes the door glass may get hot. Do not touch it!

27

35.292.973…ZWG3101.qxd 24/4/06 16:41 Página 28

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.

• 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.

• Make sure that children or pets do not climb into the drum.

• 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 transport security bars must be removed

as follows:

You are advised to keep all the transport security bars. In case the appliance has to be transported again.

1. Unscrew and remove the three rear screws by means of a key.

Hydraulic connection

There should be a

COLD WATER

tap near the washing machine with a screwing on connection pipe of 3/4 gas for the water supply, a sink, a wash basin or a drainage system in the wall.

Previously check if:

— it is not a hot water tap.

— the running water is clean. If not, run off a reasonable amount of water to flush out any debris that may have collected in the pipes.

Have the permanent drainage system in the wall checked by a plumber.

1.

Carefully screw the pipe to the tap taking care not to damage the screwdrive and fix the nut well on to the end in order to avoid leaking.

2. Lean the appliance back on the rear and fit one of the polystyrene angles between the appliance and the floor.

Make sure the hoses are not squashed.

3. Carefully remove the plastic bags on the left and the right, pulling them to the centre of the appliance

4. Place the machine in an upright position and remove the three plastic bolts.

5. Plug the 3 holes with the plastic plugs which you can find in the envelope containing the instruction booklet.

30

2.

If necessary turn the hose adequately by unscrewing the nut at the rear of the appliance.

Now tighten the nut anew to avoid leaks. (Open the tap and assure that it does not leak and close it again.)

3.

Place the discharging hose in a washbasin or sink with the aid of the bent piece delivered separately. The bent piece has to be entered into the tube’s mouth in order to assure the fixed to the wall by means of an opening on the upper part and that way the hose does not move and its falling is avoided.

support. Aforesaid piece allows the hose to be

35.292.973…ZWG3101.qxd 24/4/06 16:41 Página 31

IMPORTANT:

The distance from the floor to the highest part of the hose should be between 60 to

90 cm. (It is advised to be between 60 and 70 cm).

The hose must not be bent nor twisted to avoid clogging. Should a prolongation of the discharging hose be unavoidable this must never surpass 1.5 m and must be of the same diameter as the original hose.

Make sure the hoses are not too tense.

Levelling

Level the appliance by loosening or tightening the feet. Once in the right position fix the feet by pushing the nuts (A) (see graphic P0254) against the base of the case. Accurate levelling will prevent vibration, noise and displacement of the appliance during operation.

Some vibration is inevitable, especially if placed on a wooden floor. Wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibrations. If possible always place the appliance on a solid floor.

Electrical connections

Before plugging the appliance make sure that:

1º.

the mains of your installation is the same as on the rating plate of your appliance (the plate is sticked to the rear of the appliance).

2º.

The meter, the fuses, the wiring and the socket outlet can support the max. power absorbed stated on the rating plate.

3º.

The socket base and the plug must fit in adequately without any reducing interposition, multiple outlets or adapters. If necessary replace the socket outlet by an adequate one.

The applicable rules for electrical security require an adequate earthing. The plug of the appliance is provided with such a device.

Make sure your socket outlet is provided with an adequate earthing too.

The manufacturer declines any liability in case of accidents or incidents should these safety measures not be observed.

The power supply cable only can be replaced by a person of our Service Force Centre.

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)

laundry including synthetic fibres and woollens bearing the label «pure new wool, machine washable, non-shrink».

The wool wash cycle of this machine has been approved by Woolmark for the washing of machine washable Woolmark products provided that the garments are washed according to the instructions on the garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this washing machine.

M9604.

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.

36

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 napkin quilt cover sheet pillow case tablecloth towelling towel tea cloth night dress ladies’ briefs man’s work shirt man’s shirt man’s pyjamas blouse men’s underpants

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.

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 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.

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.

Maintenance

1. Bodywork

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.

Important:

do not use methylated spirits, solvents or similar products to clean the bodywork.

2. 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.

To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the additive compartments can be removed.

3. Cleaning of the drainage area

The drainage area must be cleaned if the pump has been blocked with objects such as buttons, safety pins, coins, etc. , or if lint has built up because clothes that generate lint have been washed at high temperatures.

• Pull out the plug from the power socket.

• If necessary, wait until the water has cooled down.

• Open the drainage area door.

• Place a bowl to collect the water.

• Release the emergency emptying hose, place it in the bowl and remove its cap, when the bowl is full put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose.

• Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until you have completely emptied the washing machine.

Detergent can also accumulate inside the drawer recess: clean it with an old toothbrush. Refit the drawer after cleaning.

• To continue, unscrew the lid of the diaphragm by turning it counter clockwise and pull it out.

• Always keep a rag nearby to dry up spillage of water when removing the cover.

• Remove the objects such as buttons, coins and the lint that has been accumulated in the area of the pump impeller by rotating it.

• Screw the lid of the diaphragm clockwise, be sure is completely tighten.

• Replace the emergency emptying hose in its initial position and close the drainage area door.

4. The water inlet hose filter

If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged.

It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time.

Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the water inlet hose.

Clean the filter using a hard bristle brush.

Tighten up the inlet hose.

5. Emergency emptying out

If the water is not discharged (outlet pump is blocked, filter or drain hose are clogged), 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 drainage area door;

• place a bowl to collect the water;

• release the emergency emptying hose, place it in the bowl and remove its cap, when the bowl is full put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose;

• empty the bowl, repeat the procedure until you have completely emptied the washing machine;

• replace the emergency emptying hose in its initial position and close the drainage area door.

6. Frost precautions

If the machine is installed in a place where the temperature could drop below 0°C, proceed as follows:

• disconnect the appliance;

• close the water tap;

• if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;

• open the drainage area door;

• place a bowl to collect the water that will flow out;

• release the emergency emptying hose, place it in the bowl and remove its cap;

• when the water stops flowing out, put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose, replace the emergency emptying hose in its initial position and close the drainage area door.

By doing this, any water remaining in the machine is removed, avoiding the formation of ice and, consequently, breakage of the affected parts.

When you use the machine again, make sure that the ambient temperature is above 0°C.

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) 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.

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

• The machine does not start up:

Possible cause

• The door is not firmly closed.

• 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 DELAY START option has been selected.

• The machine does not fill:

• The machine fills then empties immediately:

• The machine does not empty and/or does not spin:

• There is water on the floor:

• Unsatisfactory washing results:

• The water tap is closed.

• 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 drain hose is squashed or kinked.

• The (ANTI-ARRUGAS) RINSE HOLD option has been selected

• The drain pump is clogged.

• The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.

• The spin speed selector dial is positioned on NO

SPIN option .

• 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.

• The cap on the emergency emptying hose has not been replaced after cleaning the filter.

• The pump has not been fully screwed in after cleaning.

• Too little or too much detergent has been used.

Problem

• Water is not visible in the machine:

• Spinning starts late or the machine does not spin:

• The machine vibrates or is noisy:

• The door will not open:

Possible cause

• The machine, which is the result of modern technology, runs in a very economical way with low water consumption. Performance is nevertheless excellent.

• 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.

• 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 programme is still running.

• The door lock has not been released.

• There is water in the drum.

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.
