• The appliance incorporates backflow protection
complying with AS/NZS 3500.1.2.
No further backflow protection required for
connection to the water supply.
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.
Warnings
• 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 turn the water
taps off after use.
General safety

Disposal
Tips for environmental protection
Packaging materials
The materials marked with the symbol are
recyclable.
>PE<=polyethylene
>PS<=polystyrene
>PP<=polypropylene
This means that they can be recycled by disposing of
them properly in appropriate collection containers.
Machine
Use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance.
Help to keep your country tidy!
To save water, energy and to help protect the
environment, we recommend that you follow these
tips:
• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without
prewashing in order to save detergent, water and
time (the environment is protected too!).
• The machine works more economically if it is fully
loaded.
• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited
soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be
washed at a lower temperature.
• Measure out detergent according to the water
hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of
laundry being washed.

Installation
Unpacking
All transit bolts and packing must be removed
before using the appliance.
You are advised to keep all transit devices so that
they can be refitted if the machine ever has to be
transported again.
1. Using a spanner, unscrew and remove the two
rear bottom screws. Slide out the two plastic pins.
Lay the machine on its back, taking care not to
squash the hoses. This can be avoided by
placing one of the corner packing pieces between
the machine and the floor.
2. Remove the polystyrene blocks from the bottom
of the machine and release the two plastic bags.
3. Very carefully slide out the left polythene bag,
removing it towards the right and then
downwards.
4. Very carefully slide out the right polythene bag,
removing it towards the left and then upwards.
�����
����������
�
�
�
����������
5. Set the machine upright and remove the
remaining rear screw. Slide out the relevant pin.
6. Plug all the holes with the plugs which you will
find in the envelope containing the instruction
manual.
Positioning
Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
Make sure that air circulation around the machine is
not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that the
machine does not touch the wall or other kitchen
units.
Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in or
out. Never place cardboard, wood or similar
materials under the machine to compensate for any
unevenness in the floor.
Water inlet
The inlets on the back of the appliance are colour
coded, blue for cold and red for hot.
Connect the red marked hose to hot water and the
other hose to cold water tap.
The other end of the inlet hose which connects to the
machine can be turned in any direction. Simply
loosen the fitting, rotate the hose and retighten the
fitting, making sure there are no water leaks.
��������
���
�
���������
132994830.qxd 11/27/02 9:32 AM Pagina 5 (Nero/Process Black pellicola)
6
The inlet hoses must not be lengthened. If they are
too short and you do not wish to move the taps, you
will have to purchase new, longer hoses specially
designed for this type of use.
Important !
The highest allowed temperature of hot water is
60°C. If your water supply is hotter than the required
temperature, you must fit a tempering valve,
available from plumbing supply outlets.
High water temperatures may damage the inlet
hoses and valves, which is not covered by warranty.
Water drainage
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in four
ways:
Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plastic
hose guide supplied with the machine. In this
case, make sure the end cannot come unhooked
when the machine is emptying.
This could be done by tying it to the tap with a piece
of string or attaching it to the wall.
In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must be
above the trap so that the bend is at least 60 cm
above the ground.
Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less
than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm.
The end of the drain hose must always be
ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain pipe
must be larger than the outside diameter of the drain
hose.
Floor drain: the washing machine should be
installed where a floor drain or hole is located
(depending on plumbing regulations). A floor drain is
required to drain away water which may overflow
from the washing machine due to a hose leak or
malfunction.
�����
The drain hose must not be kinked. Run it along the
floor; only the part near the drainage point must be
raised.
The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4
metres. An additional drain hose and joining piece
is available from your local Service Centre.
Electrical connection
Plug the washing machine into a properly earthed 3
pin power point.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
CAUTION !
If the appliance is supplied from a cord extension
set or an electrical portable outlet device, the
cord extension set or electrical portable outlet
device must be positioned so that it is not
subject to splashing or ingress of moisture.
The manufacturer declines any responsibility
for damage or injury through failure to comply
with the above safety precaution.
IMPORTANT!
If the electrical cord of this appliance is
damaged, it must be replaced by the
Manufacturer, Authorised Service Agent or
similarly qualified person in order to avoid a
hazard.

Your new washing machine
This new machine meets all modern needs for effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy and
detergent consumption.
• The temperature selector dial will allow you to choose the most suitable temperature for your laundry.
• The special wool programme with its new delicate wash system treats your woollens with extreme care.
• The balance control device ensures the machine is stable during the spin.
Detergent dispenser drawer
The detergent dispenser is divided into three
compartments (fig.). The table of Washing
Programmes shows which compartment to use.
Compartment : this compartment is only used for
washing powder when a programme has Prewash.
Compartment : this compartment is used for
washing powder or liquid detergent on all
programmes.
Compartment : this compartment is used for
fabric conditioner and starching agent.
Always add laundry detergents before switching the
machine on and keep the dispenser clean and dry,
so that the detergent can be efficiently dispensed
from the unit.
