3.  During the removal of the screws occasionally spacer tubes fall inside the product, these can be removed by tilting the product forward and recovering them from the floor or inside the base of the machine.
4.  Cover the open transportation screw holes with the 2 or 4 plastic caps included in the instruction bag.

WARNING:
keep packaging materials away from children.

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 an 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.

•  Connect the water hose to the water supply tap (fig. 3) only using the hose supplied with the appliance (do not 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 rain ose (fig. 7).
•  Level the appliance using the feet as illustrated in figure 8:
•  turn the nut clockwise to release the screw;  rotate the foot to raise or lower it until it touches to the floor;
• lock the foot, screwing in the nut, until it tightens against to the bottom of the washing machine.
•  Plug in the appliance.
• WARNING: 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.;
• WARNING: 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.
• WARNING: 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.
•  When washing rugs, bedcovers or other heavy clothing, we recommend you avoid the spinning cycle.
•  To wash wool, make sure the item can be machine washed. Check the fabric label.
•  Leave the appliance’s door slightly open between washes, to prevent possible bad smells developing inside the machine.

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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• SAVE energy and time by selecting a high spin speed to reduce the water content in laundry before using a drying programme.
•  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 and AVOIDING ABRASIVES, ALCOHOL AND/OR DILUENTS.
•  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.
• The appliance has a special filter that traps larger residues that could block the draining system, such as buttons or coins.
•  Disconnect the machine from the power supply.

Shirts
The washing cycle is optimized to reduce the creation of creases, keeping an excellent washing performance. It is also possible to further reduce the spin speed, to ensure an easier ironing.

Cottons
This programme is suitable for washing coloured cotton garments at 40°C or for ensuring the highest degree of cleanliness for cotton resistant laundry washing at 60°C or 90°C. The final spin is at maximum speed that ensures excellent water removal.

Cottons + Prewash
This programme has been designed to remove the stronger stains from cotton white clothes. The prewash guarantees the tough dirt removal. Add into compartment “1” a quantity of detergent equal to 20% of that used for main wash.

ECO 40-60
The ECO 40-60 programme is able to clean normally soiled cotton laundry declared to be washable at 40°C or 60°C, together in the same cycle. This programme is used to assess the compliance with the EU Ecodesign legislation (environmentally friendly products design). 20°C This innovative programme, allows you to wash different fabrics and colours together, such as cottons, synthetics and mixed fabrics at only 20°C and provides an excellent cleaning performance. Consumption on this program is about 40% of a conventional 40°C cottons wash.

Synthetics
This programme allows you to wash different type’s fabrics and different colours all together. The rotation movement of the drum and the water levels are optimized, both during the washing the rinsing phase. The accurate spin action, ensures a reduced formation of creases in the fabrics.

Rinse
This program performs 3 rinses with an intermediate spin (which can be reduced or excluded by using the appropriate button). It is used for rinsing any type of fabric, for example after a wash carried out by hand.

Drain + Spin
The program completes the drain and a maximum spin. It is possible to delete or reduce the spin through the SPIN SELECTION button.

Jeans
