Installation

! This instruction manual should be kept in a safe place for

future reference. If the washing machine is sold, transferred

or moved, make sure that the instruction manual remains

with the machine so that the new owner is able to

familiarise himself/herself with its operation and features.

! Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital

information relating to the safe installation and operation of

the appliance.

Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking

1. Remove the washing machine from its packaging.

2. Make sure that the washing machine has not been

damaged during the transportation process. If it has been

damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any

further with the installation process.

3. Remove the 4 protective

screws (used during

transportation) and the

rubber washer with the

corresponding spacer,

located on the rear part of

the appliance (see figure).

4. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs provided.

5. Keep all the parts in a safe place: you will need them

again if the washing machine needs to be moved to

another location.

! Packaging materials should not be used as toys for

children.

Levelling

1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor, without

resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or anything

else.

2. If the floor is not perfectly

level, compensate for any

unevenness by tightening or

loosening the adjustable front

feet (see figure); the angle

of inclination, measured in

relation to the worktop, must

not exceed 2°.

Levelling the machine correctly will provide it with stability,

help to avoid vibrations and excessive noise and prevent it

from shifting while it is operating. If it is placed on carpet or

a rug, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow a sufficient

ventilation space underneath the washing machine.

Connecting the electricity and water

supplies

Connecting the water inlet hose

1. Connect the inlet hose

by screwing it to a cold

water tap using a 3/4 gas

threaded connection (see

figure).

Before performing the

connection, allow the

water to run freely until it is

perfectly clear.

2. Connect the inlet hose

to the washing machine

by screwing it onto the

corresponding water inlet

of the appliance, which is

situated on the top right-

hand side of the rear part of

the appliance (see figure).

3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over or bent.

! The water pressure at the tap must fall within the range

of values indicated in the Technical data table (see next

page).

! If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialised

shop or an authorised technician.

! Never use second-hand hoses.

! Use the ones supplied with the machine.

without bending it, to a

drainage duct or a wall

drain located at a height

between 65 and 100 cm

from the floor;

alternatively, rest it on

the side of a washbasin

or bathtub, fastening the

duct supplied to the tap

(see figure). The free end

of the hose should not be

underwater.

! We advise against the use of hose extensions; if it is

absolutely necessary, the extension must have the same

diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 150 cm

in length.

automatically set to “Normal” as optimised for garments

with an average level of soil (this setting is not applicable

to the “Wool” cycle, which is automatically set to

“Delicate”).

For heavily-soiled garments press button until

the “Intensive” level is reached. This level ensures

a high-performance wash due to a larger quantity of

water used in the initial phase of the cycle and due to

increased drum rotation. It is useful when removing the

most stubborn stains.

It can be used with or without bleach. If you desire

bleaching, insert the extra tray compartment (4) into

compartment 1. When pouring in the bleach, be careful

not to exceed the “max” level marked on the central

pivot (see figure pag. 10).

Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser drawer

Successful washing results also depend on the correct

dose of detergent: adding too much detergent will not

necessarily result in a more efficient wash, and may in

fact cause build up on the inside of your appliance and

contribute to environmental pollution.

! Do not use hand washing detergents; they create too

much foam.

Open the detergent

dispenser drawer and pour

in the detergent or washing

additive, as follows.

compartment 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder)

Before pouring in the detergent, make sure that extra

compartment 4 has been removed.

compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle

(powder or liquid)

If liquid detergent is used, it is recommended that the

removable plastic partition A (supplied) be used for proper

dosage.

If powder detergent is used, place the partition into slot B.

compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)

The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.

extra compartment 4: Bleach

Preparing the laundry

• Divide the laundry according to:

- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label

- the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.

• Empty all garment pockets and check the buttons.

• Do not exceed the values listed in the “Table of wash

cycles”, which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry.

How much does your laundry weigh?

1 sheet 400-500 g

1 pillow case 150-200 g

1 tablecloth 400-500 g

1 bathrobe 900-1,200 g

1 towel 150-250 g

Special wash cycles

Anti Stain: the programme 1 is suitable to heavily-soiled

garments with resistant colours. It ensures a washing class

that is higher than the standard class (A class).

When running the programme, do not mix garments of

different colours. We recommend the use of powder

detergent. Pre-treatment with special additives is

recommended if there are obstinate stains.

Whites: use this cycle 2 to wash white clothes. The

programme is designed to maintain the brightness of white

clothes over time. Use powder detergent for best results.

Anti allergy: use programme 7 to remove major allergens

such as pollen, mites, cat’s and dog’s hair.

Steam Refresh: this programme refreshes garments by

removing bad odours and relaxing the fibres (2 kg, roughly

3 items). Insert dry items only (that are not dirty) and select

programme 8. The garments will be damp once the cycle

is completed, so we recommend hanging them to dry. The

8 programme makes ironing easier.

! Not recommended for wool or silk garments.

! Do not add softeners or detergents.

! The indicator light for the “ ” option will switch on when

this cycle is selected.

Wool: the wool wash cycle on this Ariston machine has

been tested and approved by The Woolmark Company

for washing wool garments labelled as hand washable

provided that the garments are washed according to the

instructions on the garment label and those issued by the

manufacturer of this washing machine. Ariston is the first

washing machine brand to be approved by The Woolmark

Company for Apparel Care- Platinum for its washing

performance and consumption of energy and water.

(M1135)

In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade

mark is a Certification trade mark.

Delicates: use programme 10 to wash very delicate

garments having strasses or sequins.

To wash silk garments and curtains select the cycle 10

and set the “Delicate” level from option .

We recommend turning the garments inside out before

washing and placing small items into the special bag

for washing delicates. Use liquid detergent on delicate

garments for best results.

Eco cycles

The Eco Cycles assure energy saving by eliminating

the need of heating water and it’s an advantage

both to your energy bill and the environment! These

innovative Eco programmes (

12

Cottons,

13

Synthetics

and

14

Fast Wash) are available for various fabrics

and different quantity of garment; they have been

designed to guarantee a high cleaning action even at

low temperature and can be used for lightly to medium

soiled loads. Eco Cycles give the best results thanks

to an intensified wash action, water optimization and

are carried out in the same average time of a standard

cycle. For the best washing results with Eco Cycles we

recommend the usage of a liquid detergent.

Precautions and tips

! This washing machine was designed and constructed

in accordance with international safety regulations. The

following information is provided for safety reasons and

must therefore be read carefully.

General safety

• This appliance was designed for domestic use only.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons

(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or

mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,

unless they have been given supervision or instruction

concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible

for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure

that they do not play with the appliance.

• Do not touch the machine when barefoot or with wet or

damp hands or feet.

• Do not pull on the power supply cable when unplugging

the appliance from the electricity socket. Hold the plug

and pull.

• Do not open the detergent dispenser drawer while the

machine is in operation.

• Do not touch the drained water as it may reach

extremely high temperatures.

• Never force the porthole door. This could damage the safety

lock mechanism designed to prevent accidental opening.

• If the appliance breaks down, do not under any

circumstances access the internal mechanisms in an

attempt to repair it yourself.

• Always keep children well away from the appliance while

it is operating.

• The door can become quite hot during the wash cycle.

• If the appliance has to be moved, work in a group of two

or three people and handle it with the utmost care. Never

try to do this alone, because the appliance is very heavy.

• Before loading laundry into the washing machine, make

sure the drum is empty.

Load balancing system

Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations

before every spin and to distribute the load in a uniform

manner, the drum rotates continuously at a speed which

is slightly greater than the washing rotation speed. If,

after several attempts, the load is not balanced correctly,

the machine spins at a reduced spin speed. If the load is

excessively unbalanced, the washing machine performs

the distribution process instead of spinning. To encourage

improved load distribution and balance, we recommend

small and large garments are mixed in the load.

Disposal

• Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local

regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.

• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical

and Electronic Equipment, requires that old household

electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the

normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances

Opening the porthole door manually

In the event that it is not possible to open the porthole

door due to a powercut, and if you wish to remove the

laundry, proceed as follows:

1. remove the plug from the

electrical socket.

2. make sure the water level

inside the machine is lower

than the door opening; if

it is not, remove excess

water using the drain hose,

collecting it in a bucket as

indicated in the figure.

3. using a screwdriver,

remove the cover panel on

the lower front part of the

washing machine (see figure).

4. pull outwards using the tab as indicated in the figure,

until the plastic tie-rod is freed from its stop position; pull

downwards and open the door at the same time.

5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely

in place before you push it onto the appliance.

Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water and electricity

supplies

• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle. This will limit

wear on the hydraulic system inside the washing machine

and help to prevent leaks.

• Unplug the washing machine when cleaning it and

during all maintenance work.

Cleaning the washing machine

• The outer parts and rubber components of the

appliance can be cleaned using a soft cloth soaked in

lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.

• The washing machine has a “Auto Clean” programme

for its internal parts that must be run with no load in the

drum.

To help the wash cycle you may want to use either the

detergent (i.e. a quantity 10% the quantity specified for

lightly-soiled garments) or special additives to clean the

washing machine. We recommend running a cleaning

programme every 40 wash cycles.

To start the programme press buttons A and B

simultaneously for 5 seconds (see figure).

The programme will start automatically and will run for

about 80 minutes. To stop the cycle press the START/

PAUSE button.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer

Remove the dispenser by

raising it and pulling it out

(see figure).

Wash it under running

water; this operation should

be repeated frequently.

Caring for the door and drum of your

appliance

• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent

unpleasant odours from forming.

Cleaning the pump

The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning pump

which does not require any maintenance. Sometimes,

small items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into the pre-

chamber which protects the pump, situated in its bottom

part.

! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug the

appliance.

To access the pre-chamber:

1. using a screwdriver,

remove the cover panel

on the lower front part of

the washing machine (see

figure);

2. unscrew the lid by

rotating it anti-clockwise

(see figure): a little water

may trickle out. This is

perfectly normal;

3. clean the inside thoroughly;

4. screw the lid back on;

5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely

in place before you push it onto the appliance.

Checking the water inlet hose

Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If there are any

cracks, it should be replaced immediately: during the wash

cycles, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose

could easily split open.

! Never use second-hand hoses.

Troubleshooting

Your washing machine could occasionally fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Service (see “ Service”),

make sure that the problem cannot be solved easily using the following list.

Problem:

The washing machine does not

switch on.

The wash cycle does not start.

The washing machine does not fill

with water (the text “H2O” flashes

on the display).

The washing machine continuously

takes in and drains water.

The washing machine does not

drain or spin.

The washing machine vibrates a

lot during the spin cycle.

The washing machine leaks.

The “option” and START/PAUSE

indicator lights flash rapidly and an

error code appears on the display (e.g.:

F-01, F-..).

There is too much foam.

Possible causes / Solutions:

• The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or not enough to make

contact.

• There is no power in the house.

• The washing machine door is not closed properly.

• The ON/OFF button has not been pressed.

• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.

• The water tap has not been opened.

• A delayed start has been set.

• The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap.

• The hose is bent.

• The water tap has not been opened.

• There is no water supply in the house.

• The pressure is too low.

• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.

• The drain hose is not fitted at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor

(see “Installation”).

• The free end of the hose is under water (see “Installation”).

• The wall drainage system is not fitted with a breather pipe.

If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water tap, switch the

appliance off and contact the Technical Assistance Service. If the dwelling is on one

of the upper floors of a building, there may be problems relating to water drainage,

causing the washing machine to fill with water and drain continuously. Special anti-

draining valves are available in shops and help to prevent this inconvenience.

• The wash cycle does not include draining: some cycles require the draining

process to be enabled manually.

• The drain hose is bent (see “Installation”).

• The drainage duct is clogged.

• The drum was not unlocked correctly during installation (see “Installation”).

• The washing machine is not level (see “Installation”).

• The washing machine is trapped between cabinets and walls (see “Installation”).

• The water inlet hose is not screwed on properly (see “Installation”).

• The detergent dispenser drawer is blocked (for cleaning instructions, see “Care

and maintenance”).

• The drain hose is not fixed properly (see “Installation”).

• Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1 minute and then

switch it back on again.

If the problem persists, contact the Technical Assistance Service.

• The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should display the text “for

washing machines” or “hand and machine wash”, or the like).

• Too much detergent was used.

Service

Before contacting the Technical Assistance Service:

• Check whether you can solve the problem alone (see “Troubleshooting”);

• Restart the wash cycle to check whether the problem has been solved;

• If this is not the case, contact an authorised Technical Assistance Centre.

! Always request the assistance of authorised technicians.

Have the following information to hand:

• the type of problem;

• the appliance model (Mod.);

• the serial number (S/N).

This information can be found on the data plate applied to the rear of the washing machine, and can also be found on the

front of the appliance by opening the door.

FR

Installation

! Conserver ce mode d’emploi pour pouvoir le consulter

à tout moment. En cas de vente, de cession ou de

déménagement, veiller à ce qu’il suive toujours le lave-

linge pour que son nouveau propriétaire soit informé sur

son mode de optionnement et puisse profiter des conseils

correspondants.

! Lire attentivement les instructions: elles fournissent

des conseils importants sur l’installation, l’utilisation et la

sécurité de l’appareil.

Déballage et mise à niveau

Déballage

1. Déballer le lave-linge.

2. Contrôler que le lave-linge n’a pas été endommagé

pendant le transport. S’il est abîmé, ne pas le raccorder et

contacter le vendeur.

3. Enlever les 4 vis de

protection servant au

transport, le caoutchouc

et la cale, placés dans la

partie arrière (voir figure).

4. Boucher les trous à l’aide des bouchons plastique

fournis.

5. Conserver toutes ces pièces: il faudra les remonter en

cas de transport du lave-linge.

! Les pièces d’emballage ne sont pas des jouets pour

enfants.

Mise à niveau

1. Installer le lave-linge sur un sol plat et rigide, sans

l’appuyer contre des murs, des meubles ou autre.

2. Si le sol n’est pas

parfaitement horizontal,

visser ou dévisser les pieds

de réglage avant (voir figure)

pour niveler l’appareil; son

angle d’inclinaison, mesuré

sur le plan de travail, ne doit

pas dépasser 2°.

Une bonne mise à niveau garantit la stabilité de

l’appareil et évite qu’il y ait des vibrations, du bruit et des

déplacements en cours de optionnement. Si la machine

est posée sur de la moquette ou un tapis, régler les pieds

de manière à ce qu’il y ait suffisamment d’espace pour

assurer une bonne ventilation.

Raccordements eau et électricité

Raccordement du tuyau d’arrivée de l’eau

1. Reliez le tuyau

d’alimentation en le vissant

à un robinet d’eau froide à

embout fileté 3/4 gaz (voir

figure).

Faire couler l’eau jusqu’à

ce qu’elle soit limpide et

sans impuretés avant de

raccorder.

2. Raccorder le tuyau

d’arrivée de l’eau au lave-

linge en le vissant à la prise

d’eau prévue, dans la partie

arrière en haut à droite (voir

figure).

3. Attention à ce que le tuyau ne soit pas plié ou écrasé.

! La pression de l’eau doit être comprise entre les valeurs

indiquées dans le tableau des Caractéristiques techniques

(voir page ci-contre).

! Si la longueur du tuyau d’alimentation ne suffit pas,

s’adresser à un magasin spécialisé ou à un technicien

agréé.

! N’utiliser que des tuyaux neufs.

! Utiliser ceux qui sont fournis avec l’appareil.

65 - 100 cm

Raccordement du tuyau de vidange

Raccorder le tuyau

d’évacuation, sans le plier,

à un conduit d’évacuation

ou à une évacuation murale

placés à une distance du

sol comprise entre 65 et

100 cm;

ou bien l’accrocher à un

évier ou à une baignoire,

dans ce cas, fixer le

support en plastique fourni

avec l’appareil au robinet

(voir figure). L’extrémité

libre du tuyau d’évacuation

ne doit pas être plongée

dans l’eau.

! L’utilisation d’un tuyau de rallonge est absolument

déconseillée mais si on ne peut faire autrement, il faut

absolument qu’il ait le même diamètre que le tuyau original

et sa longueur ne doit pas dépasser 150 cm.
