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.

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.
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.
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

Removing stains
Before loading the laundry
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water
and detergent. It is therefore advisable to treat them
prior to washing.
Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites
may lose their “whiteness” in the wash.
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.
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).
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.
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay
the garment on a soft surface and dab the stain with
the fingertips and a cotton cloth.
Remove persistent stains before washing. Rub
particularly soiled areas with a special detergent or
detergent paste.
Maximum loads
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.
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).
Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or tie
them up in a bag or net.
Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed;
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone (*),
lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.
Synthetics: drum no more than half full;
Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more than
one third full.
36
35.292.976.qxd 04/06/2005 12:55 Página 37
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat
stains with methylated spirits. Remove any residual
marks from white fabrics with bleach.
Quantity of detergent to be used
Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and
treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse. Treat any
residual marks 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.
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.
Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on
quantities to use.
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated
spirits or benzine, then rub with detergent paste.
Use less detergent if:
– you are washing a small load,
(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk.
– the laundry is lightly soiled,
– large amounts of foam form during washing.
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.
Degrees of water hardness
Degrees
Level
Characteristic
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.

Maintenance
1. Bodywork
3. Cleaning of the drainage area
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.
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.
Important: do not use methylated spirits, solvents or
similar products to clean the bodywork.
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.
• Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until you
have completely emptied the washing machine.
2. Detergent dispenser drawer
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.
To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the additive
compartments can be removed.

4. The water inlet hose filter
6. Frost precautions
If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime
deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged.
If the machine is installed in a place where the
temperature could drop below 0°C, proceed as
follows:
It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to
time.
• disconnect the appliance;
Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the water inlet hose.
• close the water tap;
Clean the filter using a hard bristle brush.
• if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;
Tighten up the inlet hose.
• 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.
P1090
When you use the machine again, make sure that
the ambient temperature is above 0°C.
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.

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
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 DELAY START option has been selected.
• The machine does not fill:
• 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 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.
• The
or
option has been selected.
• The drain pump is clogged.
• The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.
• 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.
• 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.
• Unsatisfactory washing results:
• Too little or too much detergent has been used.
• An unsuitable detergent has been used.
• Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to
washing.
• The correct programme/temperature was not
selected.
• Excessive laundry load.

35.292.976.qxd 04/06/2005 12:55 Página 47
Possible cause
• 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.
• Spinning starts late or the machine
does not spin:
• 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 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 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.
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

The machine makes an unusual
noise. The machine is fitted with a commutator
motor which improves machine
performance.
