For all testing institutes:
2) Long cotton cycle: set cycle 5 at a temperature of 40°C.
3) Long synthetics cycle: set cycle 6 at a temperature of 40°C.
The cycle duration indicated on the display or instruction manual is an estimate based on
standard conditions. The actual duration may vary in relation to several factors, such as
the temperature and pressure of the incoming water, ambient temperature, amount of
detergent, load quantity and type, load balancing and any additional options selected.
1) Test programme in compliance with standard EN 50229 (Wash):
This cycle is designed for normally soiled cotton loads and is the most ecient in terms of
both electricity and water consumption; it should be used for garments washable at 60°C or
at 40°C. The actual washing temperature may dier from the indicated value.
Test programme in compliance with standard EN 50229 (Drying): select the 10 wash
programme and set the drying level to “ ”, for both loads. The rst drying cycle must be
carried out with the nominal load.
WASH CYCLES
Follow the instructions on the symbols of the garment’s wash
care label. The value indicated in the symbol is the maximum
recommended temperature for washing the garment.
Daily Mix Wash & Dry
use programme 1 to wash and dry mixed garments (cotton and
synthetics). This cycle may be used to wash and dry loads of up to 3,5 kg;
we recommend the use of liquid detergent.
The use of the steam in this programme is optimised to reduce the
formation of creases on garments, making them easier to iron.
Shirts & T-Shirts
Use programme 2 to wash and dry shirts and T-shirts in dierent fabrics
and colours to ensure maximum care. This cycle may be used to wash and
dry loads of up to 2 kg. To achieve optimum results, use liquid detergent
and pre-treat cus, collars and stains. The use of the steam in this
programme is optimised to reduce the formation of creases on garments,
making them easier to iron.
Pre Iron
Use this programme immediately before ironing; max. 1,5 kg load. The
use of the steam in this programme is optimised to reduce the formation
of creases on garments, making them easier to iron.
Steam Refresh
For refreshing garments, neutralised unpleasant odours and relaxing the
bres by delivering steam into the drum. The garments will be damp at
the end of the cycle.
Cotton
Suitable for washing towels, underwear, table cloths, etc. made of
resistant linen and cotton that are moderately to heavily soiled.
Synthetics
Suitable for washing moderately soiled garments made of synthetic bres
(e.g. polyester, polyacrylic, viscose, etc.) or mixed synthetic-cotton bres.
Anti Stain Quick
This cycle is ideal for washing daily stains in 45’. It is ideal for mixed fabrics
and coloured garments.
If the drying option is selected, a drying cycle automatically activates at
the end of the wash cycle that resembles open-air drying, with the added
advantages of preserving garments from yellowing due to sunlight
exposure and preventing loss of whiteness caused by the possible
presence of dust in the air. Dryness level “ ” recommended.
Anti Stain 100
This cycle is suitable to heavily-soiled garments with resistant colours. It
ensures a washing class that is higher than the standard class (A class).
When running the programme, do not mix garments of dierent colours.
We recommend the use of powder detergent. Pre-treatment with special
additives is recommended if there are obstinate stains.
If the drying option is selected, a drying cycle automatically activates at
the end of the wash cycle that resembles open-air drying, with the added
advantages of preserving garments from yellowing due to sunlight
exposure and preventing loss of whiteness caused by the possible
presence of dust in the air. Dryness level “ ” recommended.
White
For heavily soiled whites and resistant colours.
Eco Cotton
Suitable for washing moderately soiled cotton garments. At 40°C and
60°C it is the standard cycle for washing cotton garments, and is the most
ecient in terms of combined water and electricity consumption.
Coloureds
For washing coloured cotton garments. This programme is optimised to
keep colours bright even after repeated washing.
Ultradelicates
For washing very delicate garments. It is advisable to turn the garments
inside out before washing them. For best results, use liquid detergent on
delicate garments.
When selecting an exclusively time-based drying function, a drying cycle
is performed at the end of the wash cycle that is particularly delicate,
thanks to light handling and appropriate temperature control of the
water jet.
The recommended durations are:
1 kg of synthetic garments --> 150 min
1 kg of synthetic and cotton garments --> 180 min
1 kg of cotton garments --> 180 min
The degree of dryness depends on the load and fabric composition.

temperature, press the
40°
60°
button.
Drying
Drying may be set as follows:
- Based on the desired laundry dryness level:
Iron “ ”: suitable for clothes which will need ironing afterwards. the
remaining dampness softens creases, making them easier to remove.
Hanger “ ”: ideal for clothes which do not need to be dried fully.
Cupboard “ ”: suitable for laundry which can be put back in a cupboard
without being ironed.
- Based on a set time period: between 40 and 180 minutes.
If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much greater than the
maximum stated load, perform the wash cycle, and when the cycle is
complete, divide the garments into groups and put some of them back
in the drum. At this point, follow the instructions provided for a “Drying
only” cycle. Repeat this procedure for the remainder of the load. A
cooling-down period is always added to the end of each drying cycle.
Drying only
Press button to perform the drying-only cycle.
After selecting the desired cycle (compatible with the type of garments),
press button to exclude the washing phase and start the drying phase
at the maximum level for the selected cycle.
TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
Divide the laundry according to:
Type of fabric (cotton, mixed bres, synthetics, wool, garments to be
hand-washed). Colour (separate coloured garments from whites, wash
new coloured garments separately). Delicates (small garments – such as
nylon stockings – and items with hooks – such as bras: insert them in a
fabric bag).
Empty the pockets:
Objects such as coins or lighters can damage the washing machine and
the drum. Check all buttons.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Before performing cleaning and maintenance, switch the washing machine
o and disconnect it from the mains power. Do not use ammable liquids to
clean the washing machine.
Disconnect the water and power supplies
Close the water tap after every wash. This will limit wear on the hydraulic
system inside the washing machine and help to prevent leaks.
Unplug the washing machine when cleaning it and during all
maintenance work.
Clean the washing machine
The outer parts and rubber components of the appliance can be cleaned
using a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or
abrasives.
The washing machine has a “Auto-clean” cycle for its internal parts; it must
be run without any load in the drum.
To optimise this cycle, it is possible to use either detergent (10% of the
quantity specied for lightly soiled garments) or special additives to clean
the washing machine. We recommend running a cleaning cycle every 40
wash cycles.
To start the cycle press buttons and simultaneously for 5 seconds.
The cycle will start automatically and will run for about 70 minutes. To
stop the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button.
Care for the door and drum
Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant
odours from forming.
LOAD BALANCING SYSTEM
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations before every
spin and to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates
continuously at a speed which is slightly greater than the washing
rotation speed. If, after several attempts, the load is not balanced
correctly, the machine spins at a reduced spin speed. If the load is
excessively unbalanced, the washing machine performs the distribution
process instead of spinning. To encourage improved load distribution and
balance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed in the load.
TRANSPORT AND HANDLING
Do not lift the washing machine by gripping it from the upper section.
Unplug the appliance and close the water tap. Check that the door and
detergent dispenser drawer are tightly closed. Detach the lling hose
from the water tap then detach the drain hose. Empty all the water
remaining in the hoses and secure the latter so that they do not get
damaged during transport. Apply the transport bolts back on. Repeat, in
reverse order, the transport bolt removal procedure described in the
“Health & Safety and Installation Guides”.

CLEANING THE WATER FILTER / DRAINING RESIDUAL WATER
Switch o and unplug the washing machine before cleaning the water lter or draining residual water. If you used a hot
wash programme, wait until the water has cooled down before draining any water.
Clean the water lter regularly, to avoid that the water cannot drain after the wash due to obstruction of the lter.
If the water cannot drain, the display indicates that the water lter may be clogged.
1. Container for the drained water:
Place a low and wide container under the water lter in
order to collect the residual water.
2. Drain the water:
Slowly turn the lter counter-clockwise until all the water
has come out. Allow the water to ow out without
removing the lter. Once the container is full, close the
water lter by turning it clockwise. Empty the container.
Repeat the procedure until all the water has been drained.
3. Remove lter: Lay a cotton cloth beneath the water lter,
which can absorb a small amount of rest water. Then
remove the water lter by turning it out anticlockwise.
4. Clean the water lter: remove residues in the lter and
clean it under running water.
5. Insert the water lter: Reinsert the water lter again by turning it
in clockwise direction. Make sure to turn it in as far as it goes; the
lter handle must be in vertical position. To test water tightness
of the water lter, you can pour about 1 liter of water into the

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE FITTER
Mounting the wooden panel onto the door
and inserting the machine into cabinets:
In the case where the machine must be shipped
for nal installation after the wooden panel has
been mounted, we suggest leaving it in its
original packaging. The packaging was designed
to make it possible to mount the wooden panel
onto the machine without removing it
completely (see gures below).
The wooden panel that covers the face of the
machine must not be less than 13 mm in
thickness and can be hinged on either the right
or left. For the sake of practicality when using the
machine, we recommend that the panel be
hinged on the same side as the door for the
machine itself - the left.

to the top right side of the panel.
- Use an appropriately sized router to mill the holes
for the two hinges, the rubber plug and the magnet.
Mounding the Parts onto the Wooden Panel (Door).
- Insert the hinges into the holes (the movable part
of the hinge must be positioned facing away from
the panel) and fasten them with the 4 type A screws.
- Insert the magnet into the top hole on the
opposite side of the hinges and fasten it with the
two type B screws.
- Insert the rubber plug into the bottom hole.
The panel is now ready to be mounted onto the
machine.
Mounting the Panel into the machine.
Insert the nib of the hinge (indicated by the arrow
in g. 2) into the hole for the hinge and push the
panel towards the front of the machine. Fasten
the two hinges with the type D screws.
Fastening the plinth guide.
If the machine is installed at the end of a set of
modular cabinets, mount either one or both of the
guides for the base molding (as shown in g. 8).
Adjust them for depth based on the position of
the base molding, and, if necessary, fasten the
base to the guides (g. 9).
This is how to assemble the plinth guide (g. 8):
Fasten angle P using screw R, insert plinth guide Q
into the special slot and once it is in the desired
position, lock it in place using angle P and screw R.
Inserting the machine into the Cabinet.
- Push the machine into the opening, aligning it
with the cabinets (g. 6).
- Regulate the adjustable feet to raise the machine
to the appropriate height.
- To adjust the position of the wooden panel in
both the vertical and horizontal directions, use the
C and D screws, as shown in g. 7.
Important: close the lower part of the appliance front
by ensuring that the plinth rests against the oor.

Adjusting the appliance height.
The height of the appliance can be adjusted (from
815 mm to 835 mm), by turning the 4 feet.
Should you require the appliance to be placed
higher than the above height, you need to use the
following accessories to raise it to up to 870 mm:
the two crossbars (G); the 4 feet (H); the 4 screws
(I); the 4 nuts (L) then perform the following
operations (g. 11):
remove the 4 original feet, place a crossbar G at
the front of the appliance, fastening it in place
using screws I (screwing them in where the original
feet were) then insert the new feet H.
Repeat the same operation at the back of the
appliance.
Now adjust feet H to raise or lower the appliance
from 835 mm to 870 mm.
Once you have reached the desired height, lock
nuts L onto crossbar G.
To adjust the appliance to a height between 870
mm and 900 mm, you need to mount strip M,
adjusting feet H to the required height.
Insert the strip as follows:
loosen the three screws N situated at the front of
the Top cover of the appliance, insert strip M as
shown in g. 12, then fasten screws N.
