Each product is identified by a unique 16character code, also called the "serial number", printed on the sticker. This can be found inside the door opening. This code is a unique code for your product that you will need to register the product warranty, or if you need to contact the Customer Service Centre.

INSTALLATION

• Remove the 2 or 4 transportation screws (A) on the back and remove the 2 or 4 flat washers, rubber bungs and plastic spacer tubes (B) as illustrated in figure 1.
  
• If the washing machine is builtin, unscrew the 3 or transportation screws (A) and remove the 3 or 4 flat washers, rubber bungs and plastic spacer tubes (B).
• During the removal of the screws occasionally spacer tubes fall inside the product, these can be remove by tilting the product forward and recovering them from the floor or inside the base of the machine.
• Cover the open transportation screw holes with the 2 or 4 plastic caps included in the instruction bag.

Instructions for mounting the furniture door

• Position the template onto the reverse of the furniture door. It is possible to mount the hinges and closure magnet on the right or left-hand side depending on your requirements. Mark the screw hole positions, then drill out these positions.
• Fix the hinges in place with the 4 screws provided (A).
• Fix the magnet (B) in place using screw (C).
• Mount the plate (D) on the right or left-hand side, depending on your installation requirements. Place the plastic support (E) under the plate and fix it in position with screw (F).
• Snap mount cap (G) in the lower position.

• Mount the furniture door to the front of the washer using the hinges. Fix the spacers (I) in place with the 2 screws (J) and then fix the hinges with 2 screw (H).
  We suggest mounting the furniture door so that it opens towards the left, which is the same direction as the porthole door. This will leave more space when you are loading washing into the appliance.
• Slide the washer into opening of the size indicated in the diagram opposite. A furniture plinth may be run across the front of the appliance, but its height will be dictated by the height the washer is set at.
• The 4 adjustable feet allow the height of the washer to be adjusted from 820 mm to a maximum of 840 mm. To adjust the height, you should remove the nuts fitted to each foot and replace these with the 5 mm nuts supplied. Raise the feet to your desired height and then fully tighten the lock nut to the base of the washer.

Hydraulic connections

• Connect the water hose to the water supply tap (fig. 3) only using the hose supplied with the appliance (do reuse old hose-sets).
  
• SOME MODELS may include one or more of the following features:
• HOT&COLD (fig. 4): water mains connection settings with hot and cold water for higher energy savings. Connect the grey tube to the cold water tap and the red one to the hot water tap. The machine can be connected to the cold water tap only: in this case, some programs may start a few minutes later.
  
• AQUASTOP (fig. 5): a device located on the supply tube that stops water flow if the tube deteriorates; in this case, a red mark will appear in the window "A" and the tube must be replaced. To unscrew the nut, press the one-way lock device "B".
  
• AQUAPROTECT – SUPPLY TUBE WITH GUARD (fig. 6): Should water leak from the primary internal tube "A", the transparent containment sheath "B" will contain water to permit the washing cycle to complete. At the end of the cycle, contact the Customer Service Centre to replace the supply tube.
  

Setting

• The washing machine should be installed in its final position such that the water fill hose is not kinked or trapped. The corrugated drain hose should be inserted into suitable drain pipe of between 50 cm and 85 cm height above the floor using the curved drain hose support. If an under sink connection is used the drain hose must be routed above the sink overfill opening to prevent back siphoning. Care must be taken to avoid kinking or trapping the drain hose (fig. 7).
  
  * ACCESSORY SOLD SEPARATELY
• Level the appliance using the feet as illustrated in figure 8:
  
  1. turn the nut clockwise to release the screw;
  2. rotate the foot to raise or lower it until it touches to the floor;
  3. lock the foot, screwing in the nut, until it tightens against to the bottom of the washing machine.
• Plug in the appliance.

contact the Customer Service Centre should the power cord need replacement.
Installation faults are not covered by the manufacturers warranty.

DETERGENT DRAWER

The detergent draw is split into 3 compartments as illustrated in figure 9:

• compartment "1": for prewash detergent;
• compartment "": for special additives, softeners, starch fragrances, etc.;
  
  only use liquid products; the washing machine is set to automatically dose additives at each cycle during the last rinse.
• compartment "2": for washing detergent.

some detergents are not designed for use in the dispenser drawer but are supplied with their own dispenser that is placed in the drum directly.

PRACTICAL HINTS

Load tips
When sorting laundry, make sure:

• have eliminated metallic objects such as hair clips, pins, coins, from laundry;
• to have buttoned pillow cases, closed zips, tied loose belts and long robe ribbons;
• to have removed rollers, hooks or clips from curtains;
• to have carefully read clothing washing labels;
• to have removed any persistent stains using specific detergents.

Useful advice for saving
Tips on how to save money and not damage the environment when using your appliance.

• Load the machine to the highest capacity shown in the programme table for each programme - this will allow you to SAVE energy and water.
• Noise and residual laundry moisture are affected by spin speed: a faster spin is associated with greater noise and lower residual moisture in the laundry.
• The most efficient programmes in terms of combined use of water and energy are usually the longer-lasting ones with lower temperature.

Maximise the load size

• Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent and time by using the recommended maximum load size. Save up to 50% energy by washing a full load instead of 2 half loads.

Do you need to pre-wash?

• For heavily soiled laundry only! SAVE detergent, time, water and between 5 to 15% energy consumption by NOT selecting Prewash for slight to normally soiled laundry.

Is a hot wash required?

• Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried in stains in water before washing to reduce the necessity of a hot wash programme. Save energy by using a low temperature wash programme.

Before using a drying programme (WASHER-DRYERS)

• SAVE energy and time by selecting a high spin speed to reduce the water content in laundry before using a drying programme.

Dosing the detergent
Below is a short guide with tips and advice on the use of detergent.

• Only use detergents suitable for machine washing.
• Select your detergent according to the type of fabric (cotton, delicates, synthetics, wool, silk, etc.), the colour, the type and level of soiling and the programmed washing temperature.
• To use the right amount of detergent, softener or any other additives, carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions every time: correctly using the appliance with the right dose allows you to avoid waste and to reduce the environmental impact.
  When washing heavily soiled whites, we recommend using cotton programs of 60°C or above and a normal washing powder (heavy duty) that contains bleaching agents that at medium/high temperatures provide excellent results.
  For washes between 40°C and 60°C the type of detergent used needs to be appropriate for the type of fabric and level of soiling. Normal powders are suitable for "white" or colour fast fabrics with high soiling, while liquid detergents or "colour protecting" powders are suitable for coloured fabrics with light levels of soiling.
  For washing at temperatures below 40°C we recommend the use of liquid detergents or detergents specifically labeled as suitable for low temperature washing.
  For washing wool or silk, only use detergents specifically formulated for these fabrics.
• Too much detergent leads to excessive foam, which prevents the cycle being carried out correctly. It could also affect the quality of the washing and rinsing.

The use of ecological detergents without phosphates may cause the following effects:

• cloudier rinse drain water: This effect is tied to the suspended zeolites which do not have negative effects on rinse efficiency.
• white powder (zeolites) on laundry at the end of the wash: this is normal, the powder is not absorbed by fabric and does not change its colour.
  To remove the zeolites, select a rinse programme. In the future consider using slightly less detergent.
• foam in the water at last rinse: this does not necessary indicate poor rinsing. Consider using less detergent in future washes.
• abundant foam: This is often due to the anionic surfactants found in the detergents which are hard to eliminate from laundry.
  In this case, do not re-rinse to eliminate these effects: it will not help at all.
  We suggest conducting a maintenance wash using a proprietary cleaner.

If the problem persists or if you suspect a malfunction, immediately contact an Authorised Customer Service Centre.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Looking after your appliance correctly can extend its lifespan.

Cleaning the appliance's exterior

• Disconnect the machine from the power supply.
• Clean the appliance's external cabinet, using a damp cloth andAVOIDING ABRASIVES, ALCOHOL AND/OR DILUENTS.

Drawer cleaning

• It is advisable to regularly clean the detergent drawer to avoid the accumulation of detergent and additive residues.
• Remove the drawer gently but firmly.
• Clean the drawer under running water and put it back into its compartment.

FOR MODELS WITH AUTOMATIC LIQUID DETERGENT AND SOFTENER DOSING SYSTEM:
Before proceeding with cleaning, all the compartments must be empty.

• Pull out the drawer completely by pressing the release button, paying attention to the leakage of detergent residues.
  
• Fill the drawer with hot water.

CARE DOSE button (AUTODOSE SYSTEM)
SOME MODELS are provided with the automatic dosage, that carries out a precise dosage of detergent and softener, up to 20 washing cycles*, providing a perfect cleaning of your garments. This way water and energy wastes are reduced, as the right detergent and softener quantities are perfectly to the milligram dosed, according to the type of garment, to the weight of the clothes and to the water hardness.
* Estimate based on a medium load and a low water hardness level.
The drawer is divided into three compartment, as indicated in the figure:

1. for LIQUID washing detergent
2. for softener
3. NO AUTOMATIC DOSING: for powder detergent or liquid detergent with the specific tray provided.

The automatic dosing system can only be used with LIQUID softeners and detergents. IT IS FORBIDDEN to use powder detergents or other additives.
Before using concentrated softeners, dilute them according to the manufacturer's instructions on the package.

The default setting for the autodose system is set in the factory to carry out both the detergent and softener autodose.

• Pressing theCARE DOSE button you will be able to set the autodose function, according to your needs.
• If you want to change the factory settings, pressCARE DOSE button. Afterward, you can choose the desired setting:
  • Pressing once the CARE DOSE button, the ONLY softener autodose will be deselected.
  • Pressing twice the CARE DOSE button, both the detergent and softener autodose will be deselected.

  • Pressing four times the CARE DOSE button to go back to the factory settings (both the detergent and softener autodose are ON).

It is necessary to clean the drawer every time it is filled or the type of detergent and softener is changed.
The drawer MUST REMAIN CLOSED during the entire wash cycle, otherwise the dosing may not work properly or water may leak.

If you are not satisfied with the washing performance results, by increasing the water hardness LEVEL (as indicated in the related paragraph) the CARE DOSE system will be able to dispense a greater quantity of detergent, guaranteeing a better cleaning action during the washing phase.

WATER HARDNESS SETTING
This washing machine, thanks to the CARE DOSE system, is able to dose your detergent automatically. The optimum quantity of detergent depending on the water hardness, on the load quantity and on the chosen cycle (cotton, delicates, etc...)
The default setting for the water hardness is set in the factory at level 2 (HL2) as this satisfies the requirements of the majority of users.

Water Hardness level:
HL1 = LOW (0-12 °fH o 0-7 °dH)
HL2 = MEDIUM (13-30 °fH o 8-17 °dH)
HL3 = HIGH (≥ 30 °fH o ≥ 17 °dH)

• If you want to change the water hardness setting (and consequently the amount of detergent dispensed) hold downDELAY START and CARE DOSE buttons simultaneously for about 2 seconds (the relevant indicator light will turn on). HL1, HL2 or HL3 will appear on the display and you can choose the desired level by pressing the CARE DOSE button again.
• To confirm the water hardness level set, wait a few seconds.
