Make sure that no metal objects are left in
the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins,
pins). Button up pillowcases, close zip
fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie any belts
or long tapes.
Remove persistent stains before washing.
Rub particularly soiled areas with a special
detergent or detergent paste.

Descaling
The water we use normally contains lime. It is
a good idea to periodically use a water
softening powder in the machine. Do this
separately from any laundry washing, and
according to the softening powder
manufacturer's instructions. This will help to
prevent the formation of lime deposits.
Having removed the
drawer, use a small
brush to clean the
recess, ensuring that
all washing powder
residue is removed
from the upper and

part of the recess.
With the use of low temperature washes it is
possible to get a build up of residues inside the
drum.
We recommend that a maintenance wash be
performed on a regular basis.
Replace the drawer and run the rinse
programme without any clothes in the drum.
Cleaning the pump
The pump should be inspected if
To run a maintenance wash:
●

Use a normal measure of detergent, must be
a powder with biological properties.
●
Proceed as follows:
●
Disconnect the appliance.
If necessary wait until the water has cooled
down.
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with
soap and water only, and then dry thoroughly.
●
●
Open the pump door.

The dangers of freezing
If the machine is exposed to temperatures
below 0°C, certain precautions should be
taken.
●
●
●
Turn off the water tap.
Unscrew the inlet hose.
Place the end of the inlet hose in a bowl
placed on the floor and let water drain out.
Screw the water inlet hose back on.

●
Screw the pump
cover fully in.
Close the pump
door.
IMPORTANT!
Every time you drain the water through the
emergency emptying hose you must pour 2
litres of water into the main wash compartment
of the detergent drawer and then run the drain
programme. This will activate the ECO VALVE
device avoiding that part of the detergent
remains unused at next washing.
IMPORTANT!
When the appliance is in use and depending
on the programme selected there can be hot
water in the pump.
Never remove the pump cover during a wash
cycle, always wait until the appliance has
finished the cycle, and is empty. When
replacing the cover, ensure it is securely
retightened so as to stop leaks and young
children being able to remove it.

Malfunction
Possible Cause / Solution
The programme is still running.
• Wait the end of washing cycle.
The door lock has not been released.
• Wait about 2 minute.
The door will not open:
There is water in the drum.
• Select drain or spin programme to empty out the
water.
The transit bolts and packing have not been
removed.
• Check the correct installation of the appliance.
The support feet have not been adjusted.
• Check the correct levelling of the appliance.
The machine vibrates or is noisy:
The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.
• Redistribute the laundry.
Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.
• Load more laundry.
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.
Spinning starts late or the machine
does not spin:
●
Redistribute the laundry.
The machine is fitted with a type of motor which
makes an unusual noise compared with other
traditional motors. This new motor ensures a softer
start and more even distribution of the laundry in the
drum when spinning, as well as increased stability of
the machine.
The machine makes an unusual noise
No water is visible in the drum
Machines based on modern technology operate very
economically using very little water without affecting
performance.
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.

Installation instruction
Transit security bars
Before starting the machine up, the transport
security bars must be removed as follows:
You are advised to keep all the transport
security bars. In case the appliance has to be
transported again.
4. Plug the 3 holes with the plastic plugs which
you can find in the envelope containing the
instruction booklet.
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. Level the washing machine by
raising or lowering the feet. Once in the right
position fix the feet by pushing the nuts against
the base of the case. The feet may be tight to
adjust as they incorporate but the machine
MUST be level and stable.
1. Unscrew and remove the three rear screws
by means of a key.
Make sure the hoses are not squashed.
If necessary, check the setting with a spirit level.
Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and
displacement of the machine during
operation.Never place cardboard, wood or
similar materials under the machine to
compensate for any unevenness in the floor.
Some vibration is inevitable, especially if
mounted on a wooden floor.
Sprung wooden floors are particularly
susceptible to vibration. For advice, consult a
builder. If possible, always place the machine
on a solid floor.
2. Open the porthole and remove the
poliestyrene block fitted with the adhesif
tape on the door seal.
3. Place the machine in an upright position
and remove the three plastic bolts.
23
126.2942.02…AW1202-AW1402.qxd 25/4/08 12:53 Página 24
Water inlet
The appliance must be connected to a cold
water supply.
There should be a COLD WATER tap near the
washing machine with a screwing on
connection pipe of 3/4" for the water supply, a
sink, a wash basin or a drainage system in the
wall.
Previously check if:
- it is not a hot water tap.
- the running water is clean. If not, run off a
reasonable amount of water to flush out any
debris that may have collected in the pipes.
Have the permanent drainage system in the
wall checked by a plumber.
A minimum water pressure of 0.05 MPa (0.5
bar) is required for safe operation of the
appliance.
If you cannot make the cold water connection
direct from the rising mains, you may be able
to operate the appliance from your cold water
storage system.
There should be a minimum distance of 5.02m
(16.5 ft) between the appliance’s inlet and the
bottom of the water storage tank.
Water drainage
1. Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4”
thread. Always use the hose supplied with
the appliance. The inlet hose must not be
lengthened. If it is too short and you do not
wish to move the tap, you will have to
purchase a new, longer hose specially
designed for this type of use.
This appliance is designed to be permanently
plumbed into your home's drainage system
using one of the following methods.
1. Into a drainage standpipe.
NOTE
Installation should
comply with local
water authority and
building regulations’
requirements.
“U” piece
supplied
2. If necessary turn the hose adequately by
unscrewing the nut at the rear of the
appliance. Now tighten the nut anew to
avoid leaks. (Open the tap and assure that
it does not leak and close it again.)
Firstly form a hook in the end of the drain
hose using the «U» piece supplied. Place the
drain hose into your standpipe, which should
have an internal diameter of approximately
38mm thus ensuring there is an air break
between the drain hose and standpipe.
When discharging into a standpipe ensure that
the top of the standpipe is no more than 90
cm (35.4'') and no less than 60 cm (23.6'')
above floor level.

Special conditions
If the floor is carpeted or covered with crumbly
or soft material, insert a rigid support base
under the feet to prevent noise, vibration or
displacement. The base should protrude a few
centimetres beyond the edges of the machine.

maximum of 4 metres. An additional drain hose
and joining piece is available from your local
Service Force Centre. The joining piece must
have an internal diameter of 18mm.
NOTE
Please ensure that when the appliance is
installed it is easily accessible for the engineer
in the event of a breakdown.
If your drain hose
looks like this (see
below) you do not
require the «U» piece.
Just push the hose

standpipe.
2. Onto a sink outlet spigot.
If the outlet spigot has not been used before,
remove any blanking plug that may be in place.
Loop
Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure
with a clip if required, ensure a loop is formed
in the drain hose (see diagram) to prevent
waste from the sink entering the washing
machine.
Important!
Before connecting the machine to new
pipework or to pipework that has not been
used for some time, run off a reasonable
amount of water to flush out any debris that
may have collected in the pipes.
