1.- Prior warnings

Familiarize yourself with your washing

machine

Before anything else, you must familiarize

yourself with and get to know your washing

machine perfectly. With the aim of helping

you to recognize the different devices and

elements with which the machine is equip-

ped, we have incorporated some diagrams

in this MANUAL which are to be found at

the end of this instruction book on the back

page. We strongly recommend that you

study them. In them appears a series of

illustrations that will doubtless help you to

understand the text and locate all the ele-

ments comprising the appliance.

Installation

Installation of the WASHING MACHINE

must be carried out in accordance with the

regulations in force. Specific installation

instructions are given in the INSTALLA-

TION MANUAL.

IMPORTANT: Before starting the washing

machine, remember that it is absolutely

essential to remove the INSIDE BINDING

SCREWS that are required for transport.

Please consult the Instruction Manual.

Technical nameplate data

The technical nameplate data are to be

found attached to the front part of the WAS-

HING MACHINE. Here are shown the tech-

nical and identification data of this applian-

ce. THIS NAMEPLATE MUST BE CONSUL-

TED PRIOR TO PROCEEDING WITH THE

RELEVANT ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.

The washing machine is environmentally

friendly in so far as it comes equipped with

a system that is able to be adapted to diffe-

rent conditions of use (loading of clothes

and type of fabric) by guaranteeing an

optimum water and energy level and main-

taining the same results in washing and

rinse. This means that the amount of water

that may be observed through the hatch

during the washing process is low.

Moreover and with the same aim in mind,

your washing machine comes equipped

with a patented system whereby only in

washing programmes for normal fabrics

(cotton, linen, etc.) does the drum spin fas-

ter than usual for the briefest of time (2

seconds). This occurs between three and

ten times during the entire washing pro-

cess, depending on the temperature selec-

ted.

3.- Use of controls and

selection keys

Power supply key of the washing

machine

If the key is pushed out, the washing machi-

ne is switched on. The maximum permitted

spin speed for the washing programme

selected will be lit up, as will the start/stop

key (this light-up switch may be flashing or

permanently on).

If the key is pushed in, the washing machi-

ne is switched off and no light will come on.

You may cut off the power supply to your

washing machine using this key (key pus-

hed in) while a programme is in operation

or when it has finished.

When you press the key again to reconnect

the washing machine to the power supply

(key pushed out), the washing machine will

continue what it was doing. If it was running

a programme, it will continue doing so until

its END, with the start/stop key lit up. The

washing phase in operation key and that of

the options selected will also be lit up. If, on

the other hand, the washing machine has

reached the END of the programme, it will

remain stopped with the start/stop light

flashing.

WARNING: if you cut off the power supply

of your washing machine while a washing

programme is in operation, the loading

door may be opened once the safety devi-

ce has been released (approximately 2

minutes). If you should open the door

under these conditions, please ensure

that the water level does not overflow out

of the door and that the temperature insi-

de is not too high. If you wish to stop the

programme for any reason, use the

start/stop key instead of this key, since the

washing machine will check on your behalf

that there have been no problems with

overflowing.

If the programme runs without interruption,

the loading door will be able to be opened

once the programme has finished and the

necessary time has elapsed for the door

locking safety device incorporated in the

washing machine to be released (approxi-

mately 2 minutes). This will be displayed

by means of the door locked pilot light

being switched off.

As a general rule, when a washing pro-

gramme finishes and the loading door of

the washing machine has been released,

the washing machine’s power supply

should be switched off by pressing this key

(key pushed in).

Programme selector control

With this control, you may select the was-

hing programme you desire. To do so, turn

it any direction until the index coincides

with the programme desired.

If you wish to cancel a washing programme

that has already started without it having

finished, select the EMPTYING/END pro-

gramme. This programme carries out an

emptying process and leaves the program-

me in its END position. When the light-up

switch of these washing stages indicates

END, the programme will have been can-

celled, it then being possible to select the

new programme.

Additional function keys

These keys provide you with the possibility

of incorporating previously selected was-

hing into the programme (if the latter

should enable it to do so); a series of addi-

tional functions and features that will enable

you to adjust the washing of your clothes

according to your wishes and require-

ments.

Your washing machine features the func-

tions described below:

Prewash key

When this option is selected, the pilot light

will light up and the clothes will be soaked

prior to starting the washing cycle. Energy

and water consumption increase accor-

dingly.

The water temperature during soaking will

be that of the programme selected, except

where the latter is 60 or 90º C, in which

case the soaking temperature will be limi-

ted to 40º C.

22

ENGLISH

Any temperature may be selected within

the normal and delicate programmes.

Extra rinse key

When selecting this option you increase the

level of final rinse obtained in the clothes.

Water consumption also increases.

When selecting it, the switch lights up. To

switch it off, press the key again.

It may be selected in all programmes

except in the spin and emptying/end ones.

Spin/creaseguard selection key

Pressing this key enables you to reduce

spin speed, eliminate the spin or select the

creaseguard option, with the relevant pilot

light coming on.

— Reduction in spin speed: this reduction

is especially indicated when very worn

clothes are used or with specific rinses.

The option of reducing spin speed may

be selected in all programmes except

in the emptying/end programme.

— Elimination of spin: the spin stage is eli-

minated in any programme that has

been selected. In this way, the formation

of creases is avoided when washing

special fabrics.

The option of eliminating spin may be

selected in all programmes except in

the spin programme.

— Creaseguard: the programme will be

interrupted in the last rinse, with the

clothes remaining floating in water insi-

de the drum and preventing the forma-

tion of creases. The creaseguard light-

up switch will start flashing. In this situa-

tion, press the key again and select the

final spin speed desired or eliminate

the spin so that washing may be com-

pleted.

The creaseguard option may be selec-

ted in all programmes except the empt-

ying/end and spin ones.

Start/stop key

The washing programme selected is star-

ted and paused using this key.

This key has a light-up switch that indicates

whether the washing machine is on (per-

manently lit-up switch) or has paused

(light-up switch flashing).

If while a washing programme is running

you wish to temporarily stop the washing

machine so as to load more clothes, or for

any other reason, do so with this key.

NOTE: If there is a lot of water in your was-

hing machine or emptying is in operation,

the machine may not be paused, and the

light-up switch of this key will remain per-

manently on.

4.- Putting clothes into the

drum

Opening of loading door

To open the loading door of the drum, pull

the hand outwards (Fig. 1-3)

Loading clothes into the drum

When putting clothes into the drum, we

recommend that you do the following:

— Ensure that all pockets are empty.

— Stretch and unfold the garments.

— Insert the garments into the drum one

by one, avoiding their getting tangled

up. Ensure that you put the smallest gar-

ments at the bottom of the drum.

— Do not apply pressure on them.

— Take the weight of the load recommen-

ded in the different programmes into

account.

— When washing bathing costumes, try

not to wash towels on their own. Mix

them with other garments.

Once the clothes have been put inside the

drum, close the loading door by applying

pressure on it until you are sure that no gar-

ment has got caught between the loading

door and the rubber joint.

23

ENGLISH

5.- Adding detergents and

additives

Add the detergent or additive to the soap

dispenser before starting the washing pro-

gramme (Fig.3)

The soap dispenser in your washing

machine has three compartments marked

with the following symbols:

Compartment: Detergent for PRE-

WASH is poured into this.

Compartment: Detergent for WAS-

HING is poured into this.

Compartment: Liquid additives such

as finishing agents, washing-blue and

fabric softeners, etc are poured into this if

required.

Note: The level of liquid must in no case

exceed the MAX SIGN (Fig.3).

Optional dispenser

In this washing machine you may also use

liquid detergents by making use of an

optional dispenser that may be acquired

through the AFTER-SALES SERVICE NET-

WORK. This optional dispenser must be

placed in the COMPARTMENT of the

soap dispenser (Fig. 3-A). As regards the

dosage, always follow the instructions

given by the manufacturers. In any case, the

detergent level must never exceed the

MAX sign engraved on the wall of the dis-

penser.

6.- Detergent

Only use detergents that are suitable for

washing clothes in automatic washing

machines, good quality detergents that do

not produce foam. For washing woollen

garments, only use neutral detergents.

Dosage of detergent

Remember that the dosage of detergent to

be used will always depend on:

— The amount of clothes to be washed.

— The type of clothes to be washed.

— How dirty the clothes are.

— The hardness of the water.

Using a larger amount than necessary does

not help to improve washing results and, as

well as being an additional cost, is not envi-

ronmentally friendly.

In washing programmes without prewash,

we recommend using those detergents that

may be inserted directly inside the drum.

We recommend , in any event, that you

heed the manufacturer’s instructions of the

detergent used.

The table shown below may serve as a gui-

deline when measuring the amount of

detergent according to the hardness of the

water and the amount of clothes to be was-

hed:

ENGLISH

7.- Operating a washing

programme

Selection of washing programme

Programme

After pressing the power supply key (1) of

your washing machine, the light-up switch

of the start/stop key (2) will start flashing.

When this happens, select the programme

required using the selector control (6).

NOTE: If the light-up switch goes perma-

nently on when the key (1) is pressed, this

means that there has been a programme

running and that it will continue running

until the END.

Draining/creaseguard speed

You may if you wish proceed to modify the

spin speed using the key (5), by varying

the speed from zero (eliminate spin) to

maximum speed (light-up switches (15)).

The CREASEGUARD option may also be

selected using said key (light-up switch

(14)).

If you select the creaseguard option, the

washing machine will stop with water in the

last rinse, and with the creaseguard light-

up switch (14) flashing. This reduces the

formation of creases.

To continue running the programme, press

this speed key (5), selecting the final drai-

ning speed required.

Note: draining speeds and the elimination

of spin and creaseguard may be selected

or not according to the programme chosen

(see table of programmes or the section

referring to “Special function keys” of this

manual).

Options

The options that may be selected are PRE-

WASH and EXTRA RINSE using the keys (3)

and (4). When one of these options is selec-

ted, the relevant switch (9) and (10) res-

pectively will light up.

Note: the options may be selected or not

according to the programme chosen (see

table of programmes or the section refe-

rring to “Special function keys” of this

manual).

section) to start, press the start/stop key

(2). The light- up switch (8) of this key will

stop flashing and go permanently on.

The programme will have started the

moment that the door locked light-up

switch (7) and the switch corresponding to

the washing stages in operation (11), (12)

and (13) (washing, rinse or end respecti-

vely) light up.

SUMMARY OF STARTING

1. Press the power supply key (1) of

your washing machine.

2. Select the washing programme

using the selector control (6).

3. If required, select the spin crease-

guard speed using the switch (5)

and the prewash and/or extra rinse

options using the switches (3) and

(4) respectively.

4. Press the start/stop key (2). Its light-

up switch (8) must remain perma-

nently on, with the programme star-

ting when the door locked switch (7)

lights up.

End of programme

We will know when the washing program-

me chosen has ended the moment that the

switch corresponding to the washing sta-

ges lights up “end” (13).

However, as a safety measure, only once

the door locked light-up switch (7) has

been switched off may the loading door of

the washing machine be opened.

Pause

Your washing machine is on pause if the

light-up switch (8) is flashing.

If while running a programme you wish to

momentarily stop it in order to insert more

clothes, etc., the start/stop key (2) must be

pressed. When doing so, the light-up

switch (8) of this key will remain flashing

and the washing programme that was run-

ning will stop.

The loading door of the washing machine

may be opened when the locked door

light-up switch (7) switches off.

To continue, close the loading door and

press the start/stop key (2) so that its light-

up switch (8) remains permanently on.

Once a few seconds have elapsed, the lit

up locked door switch (7) will confirm that

that the washing programme is continuing.

When a washing programme is running,

the washing machine will pause if there is a

change of programme. To continue, press

the start/stop key (2).

Note: If there is a lot of water in your was-

hing machine or it is being emptied, no

pause may be made.

Cancelling the programme in operation

If while a programme is running you wish

to change to another without the former

ending or you simply wish to cancel it,

select the emptying/end programme. The

machine will be emptied and the program-

me will be cancelled the moment that

“end” (13) lights up on the switch corres-

ponding to washing stages.

You may then select a new washing pro-

gramme again, if you wish.

Protection against power cuts

When the washing machine loses its power

supply (when the power supply of your

washing machine is cut off using the key

(1), or due to a power cut resulting from a

storm or building work, etc.), the control

system of the appliance enables the

options selected prior to the interruption of

the wash to be conserved for some hours,

in such a way that the programme resumes

at the point where it left off once the power

supply has been restored.

8.- Washing programmes

You are in possession of a MULTIPRO-

GRAMME WASHING MACHINE that ena-

bles you to wash all types of clothes. It has

4 types of PROGRAMMES for such purpo-

se:

1. NORMAL PROGRAMMES

2. PROGRAMMES FOR DELICATE GAR-

MENTS

26

ENGLISH

3. PROGRAMMES FOR WOOLLENS

4. SPECIAL PROGRAMMES

The washing systems incorporated in your

washing machine are suitable for washing

both cotton garments and synthetic and

mixed garments, as well as woollen, silk

and acrylic ones.

Basically, the PROGRAMMES may be dis-

tinguished from each other by the rotatio-

nal speed of the drum, as well as the tem-

perature, washing time and water level.

The NORMAL programmes are suitable for

washing resistant fabrics such as cotton,

resistant synthetics and linen, etc.

The programmes for DELICATE garments,

with a lighter movement of the drum and

lower temperature, are geared towards

washing synthetic fabrics, mixed cotton

and delicate garments, etc.

The programmes for WOOLLEN garments

are those indicated for this type of fabric.

Special programmes range from fast was-

hes to rinse and spin programmes, etc.

Your washing machine includes a Variable

Load Automatic adjustment device that

enables the consumption of water and

energy to be adjusted automatically accor-

ding to the amount of clothes to be washed.

List of washing programmes

We provide you below with a detailed

TABLE OF PROGRAMMES. In it may be

found all the details relating to the different

types of washing programmes offered by

your washing machine. We suggest that

you consult it in order to obtain maximum

benefit form your washing machine.

An abbreviated version of the table can be

found on the front or top panel of the deter-

gent dispenser, or on a card included in

the documentation bag.

Consumption details may differ from those

levels shown according to the pressure,

hardness and inlet temperature of the

water, of atmospheric temperature, the

type and amount of clothes, fluctuations in

voltage and the option keys selected.

9.- Prior cleaning

With the aim of evacuating and cleaning

the inside of the washing machine of the

possible remains of lubricant materials and

test water, it is advisable to undertake a

prior cleaning of your washing machine

before using it for the first time with clothes.

The following operations may be carried

out for such purpose:

— Press the power supply key of the was-

hing machine (key pushed outwards)

— Insert a dosage of detergent into

the compartment of the SOAP

DISPENSER.

— Select the Normal 90ºC WASHING

PROGRMME programme using the

selector control.

— Start the washing machine by pressing

the Start/Stop key.

— Wait until the programme finishes.

10.- Cleaning and special

care

(Fig. 6)

Clean the accessible filter whenever the

drainage pump is blocked by foreign

bodies.

a) Loosen the base by gently pulling on

the sides and turning downwards.

Then undo the fasteners.

If there is no side access, introduce a

small screwdriver in the three slots on

the upper part of the base, in order to

lever it and loosen the hooks.

b) Use a plate or other container under

the filter to collect the water that will

be released when it is loosened.

c) Turn the filter a quarter- or halfway

sideways towards the left. Water will

start to come out.

d) When you are finished taking the water

out of the washing machine, turn the fil-

ter around several times until you can

take it out fully.

e) Remove any objects or fluff that may be

in the filter.

f ) Replace the filter and the base in their

places.

Important: In order to avoid burns, this

operation should not be carried out when

the wash water temperature is over 30ºC.

11.- Practical advice for

optimizing washing

We now offer you some advice which you

should take into account when using your

washing machine.

Advice referring to the different types of

clothes that you may wash, as well as the

different types of detergents that may use.

Consult this advice thoroughly. Familiarize

yourself with it, as it will help you to obtain

better washing results and also optimum

maintenance of your washing machine.

Classification of clothes

Classify the different items of clothing

according to their:

— COLOUR

— DIRTINESS

— SENSITIVITY

Colour

— Before inserting clothes inside the was-

hing machine, select the garments

according to the type of fabric and soli-

dity of their clothes.

— Wash white garments separately from

coloured ones.

— If the coloured garments are new, we

advise that you wash them separately

several times.

Dirtiness

— Classify clothes according to their dirti-

ness, taking special care with those that

30

ENGLISH

are very dirty or have some type of

special stain.

— Previously treat the very dirty areas,

especially necks and cuffs.

— Wash slightly dirty garments preferably

in a short programme. In this way, you

will save energy as well as obtaining

excellent results from washing.

— Wash averagely dirty garments in a

normal washing programme.

— Wash very dirty garments in a long

programme with prewash

Sensitivity

Certain garments, either due to their fabric

or manufacture, may be sensitive to move-

ment. In order to wash them, we advise

using the DELICATE PROGRAMMES in

your washing machine.

Woollen garments may be washed in the

SPECIAL PROGRAMMES FOR WOOL in

your washing machine.

Previously ensure that your woollen gar-

ments may be machine-washed.

Conservation symbols

These symbols are normally found on the

labels located on the necks and side seams

of garments. These symbols indicate:

— Maximum WASHING temperature.

— Types of cleaning with which they may

or may not be washed.

— Products with which they may or may

12.- Treatment of stains

On many occasions, and given the type and

characteristics of some stains, you do not

obtain the desired results from washing.

Below we provide you with a series of spe-

cial forms of treatment you may use on

these stains before inserting the garments

in the washing machine.

Stains that are soluble in water

Although they may be stubborn, treat these

stains using a mass of detergent or with a

washing paste.

Wool

Stains that are insoluble in water

Treat these stains with a special cleaning

agent.

Special stains

Felt-tip pen and ballpoint pen: Rub them

with a cloth soaked in alcohol.

Candle wax: Cover these stains with a

sheet of blotting paper and iron them at a

temperature which is suitable for the fabric.

If necessary, repeat the operation.

Resin, grease and skin cream: Clean them

using petrol stain remover and then wash

them.

Tar: Rub them with butter and leave the

butter to work on the stain for a while. Then

wash them.

Blood, milk and egg: Soak them in cold

water and then wash them with enzymatic

detergent at a temperature of between 50º

and 60º, provided that the type of fabric of

the garment allows this.

Fruit, coffee and wine: These stains nor-

mally disappear after several washes.

In case you should come up against some

type of non-washable or particularly seve-

re stain, ask a specialist for advice. In any

event, DO NOT USE CHEMICAL PRO-

DUCTS IN THIS WASHING MACHINE

13.- Practical advice for

loading clothes into the

drum

— Provided it is possible to do so, it is

advisable to load the washing machine

to its maximum capacity. In this way you

will be able to considerably reduce

water and energy consumption.

— When you have to wash either very

dirty clothes or some spongy garments

(towels, swimming costumes, etc.), it is

advisable to reduce the maximum load

envisaged.

We recommend that where possible you

wash garments of different sizes in the

same washing programme. In this way the

washing action is reinforced, thus benefi-

ting the way the clothes are distributed insi-

de the drum during the spin; this will also

result in the machine running more quietly.

14.- General advice for

washing

— If items of clothing are washed that

withstand different washing temperatu-

res, the lowest temperature must always

be selected.

— As a general rule, whiteners may only

be used to wash white resistant fabrics

such as cotton, linen, etc.

— Synthetic fibre, mixed and delicate gar-

ments should be washed in delicate

programmes so as to prevent the for-

mation of creases that may prove diffi-

cult to remove when ironing.

— It is advisable to complement delicate

programmes with a brief spin. In this

way, the effectiveness of the rinses will

increase and the clothes will be remo-

ved well drained.

— Only wool with this symbol may be

machine-washed.

15.- General advice

Maintenance

Before carrying out any cleaning or main-

tenance operation, it is advisable to discon-

nect the washing machine from the mains.

Cleaning

Following each wash, leave the LOADING

DOOR open for a while so that air may fre-

ely circulate around the inside of the

machine.

From time to time, it is advisable to run a

complete washing cycle using a decalcif-

ying agent. This will extend the working life

of your washing machine.

External cleaning

For the external cleaning of your washing

machine use warm soapy water or a mild

32

ENGLISH

cleaning agent that is neither abrasive nor

solvent. Then dry it well with a soft cloth.

Cleaning the soap dispenser

Clean the SOAP DISPENSER all the time

you notice the residue of some washing

product in it. Carry out the following opera-

tions for such purpose:

1. Completely remove the SOAP DISPEN-

SER by pulling the handle outwards

(Fig.4).

2. Clean the COMPARTMENTS of the DIS-

PENSER using warm water and a

brush.

3. Also clean the SIPHON of the additive

dispenser (Fig.5).

Once these operations have been carried

out, insert the dispenser again in the was-

hing machine.

16.- Troubleshooting

Should a problem arise when using your

washing machine, you may most likely

solve it after consulting the guidelines

below:

Otherwise, disconnect the appliance and

contact AFTER-SALES SERVICE. There is

no fuse or similar component inside the

machine that may be replaced by the user.

We ask that under no circumstances do you

open up the machine.

The washing machine fails to start

— There is no mains voltage

— The electrical installation fuses have

blown.

— The washing machine is not connected

to the mains.

— The door of the washing machine is not

properly closed.

— The power supply key of the washing

machine is disconnected (the key must

be pushed out).

— The Start/Stop key has not been pres-

sed (the light-up switch of this key must

be permanently on).

The washing machine vibrates or makes

excessive noise

— The INSIDE BINDING SCREWS have

not been removed.

— The washing machine is badly levelled

(consult the installation manual).

Important: Your washing machine is in

possession of a safety system in the spin

that prevents the latter from reaching an

excessive level of vibration where the dis-

tribution of clothes in the drum might cause

this to happen. If in a particular case you

should detect that the clothes have not

been suitably drained, try to spin them

again after having spread them out more

uniformly in the drum.

17.- Detection or indication

of faults and

breakdowns

Some malfunctions and breakdowns are

easily detectable by your washing machine

and are indicated as such so that you may

solve the problem yourself wherever possi-

ble. Alternatively, it facilitates your getting

in contact with After-Sales Service.

Indication of faults

When an abnormal situation is detected,

the fault is then displayed. The light-up

switches of the Washing, Rinse and End sta-

ges are used for such purpose.

Washing Rinse End

OOO

Fault in the entry of water: the Washing

and Rinse light-up switches start flashing

alternately.

Fault in emptying: the Rinse and End

light-up switches start flashing alternately.

Any other type of fault: all three Washing,

Rinse and End light-up switches start flas-

hing simultaneously.

Action to be taken

Depending on the type of fault detected,

the action to be taken is as follows:

33

ENGLISH

Fault in the entry of water: due to the

water supply being cut off, the washing

water inlet tap being off or water inlet filter

being obstructed.

— wait until the water supply resumes.

— turn on the water inlet tap.

— release the water inlet hose of the was-

hing machine and clean its filter.

Fault in emptying: due to obstruction of

the drainage pump of the washing machi-

ne, due to obstruction of the drainage

piping of the building or due to improper

electrical connection of the pump.

— if your washing machine possesses an

accessible filter, a sheet of paper will

have been included with this manual in

which is indicated how to proceed with

its cleaning.

— if your washing machine does not have

an accessible filter, call After-sales

Service.

Any other type of fault: due to a fault in the

water heating system, movement of the

washing drum, etc.

— call After-sales Service.
