! Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future
reference. Should the appliance be sold, transferred or
moved, make sure the instruction manual
accompanies the machine to inform the new owner as
to its operation and features.
! Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital
information on installation, use and safety.
Unpacking
1. Unpack the machine.
2. Check whether the machine has been damaged
during transport. If this is the case, do not install it and
contact your retailer.
Remove the transit fixings
IMPORTANT: Follow these instructions to remove the
TWO transit fixings (see Description for location).

It is important the transit bolt
and spacer (see pic) come out
intact.
1. Unscrew the bolt using a
13mm spanner.
2. STOP when 3 threads can be
seen.
3. Hold, slide sideways and pull
to remove.
4. For safety, insert one of the
the plastic covers (supplied with
your machine) over the hole.
! Repeat steps 1 to 4 to remove
the second transit bolt.
! Packaging materials are not
children’s toys.
Levelling
Your machine will be noisy if the two front feet are not
adjusted so that the machine stands firm and level.
! The machine should be levelled from side to side and
from front to back.
1. Move your machine into its final location.
- Take care not to trap or kink the hoses.
2. Turn one or both front feet
anti-clockwise by hand until the
feet cannot be turned any more.
When adjusting the feet, use a
spirit level to check the machine
stands level, from side to side
and from front to back.
- The spring on each foot will
stop them coming loose.
! If it is placed on a fitted or loose carpet, adjust the
feet in such a way as to allow enough room for
ventilation beneath the machine.
Water connection
Connecting the water inlet hose.
Remember that this is a cold-fill machine.
! Check that seal is in place
inside the hose end cap.
Before making the water connections to gas ¾ thread,
allow the water to run freely from the supply tap until it
is perfectly clear.
Screw the inlet end with the blue
cap onto the cold water supply
tap.
Turn the tap on and check for leaks: tighten if
necessary.
! Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the hose.
! The water pressure at the tap must be within the
values indicated in the Technical details table (next
page).
! If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact a
specialist store or an authorised serviceman.
! Always use new hoses.
! Check the water hose at least once a year, replace
any that are cracked as worn hoses could split under
water pressure.

Drainage connections
A. Connect the drain
hose, without kinking it,
to a draining duct or a
wall drain fixed at a
height between 65 and
100cm from the floor.
Use the curved bracket,
if reqired.
B. Alternatively, place it
over the edge of a basin, sink or tub, fastening the
hose supplied to the tap.
! The free end of the hose should not be under water.
! We advise against the use of hose extensions. In
case of absolute need, the extension must have the
same diameter as the original hose and must not
exceed 150cm in length.
Electrical connections
Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket,
make sure that:
the socket is earthed and in compliance with the
applicable law.
the socket is able to sustain the appliance’s
maximum power load indicated in the Technical
Details table (on the right).
the supply voltage is included within the values
indicated in the Technical Details table (on the right).
the socket is compatible with the machines plug. If
this is not the case, replace the socket or the plug.
! The machine should not be installed in an outdoor
environment, not even when the area is sheltered,
because it may be very dangerous to leave it exposed
to rain and thunderstorms.
! When the machine is installed, the mains socket
must be within easy reach and should be connected
to a suitable electrical supply.
! Do not use extensions or multiple sockets.
! The power supply cable must never be bent or
dangerously compressed.
! The power supply cable must only be replaced by an
authorised serviceman.
! The company denies all liability if and when these
norms are not respected.
The first wash cycle
Once the appliance has been installed and before you
use it for the first time, run a wash cycle without
detergent and no laundry, setting the 90°C
programme without a pre-wash cycle.

Precautions and advice
! The machine was designed and built in compliance
with the applicable international safety regulations.
The following information is provided for your safety
and should consequently be read carefully.
General safety
This appliance has been designed for non-
professional, household use and its functions must
not be changed.
This machine should only be used by adults and in
accordance with the instructions provided in this
manual.
Never touch the machine when barefoot or with wet
or damp hands or feet.
Do not pull on the power supply cable to unplug the
appliance from the electricity socket. Pull the plug
out yourself.
Do not open the detergent dispenser while the
appliance is in operation.
Do not touch the drain water as it could reach very
high temperatures.
Never force the machine door: this could damage
the safety lock mechanism designed to prevent
accidental openings.
In the event of a malfunction, do not under any
circumstances touch internal parts in order to
attempt repairs.
Always keep children well away from the appliance
while in operation.
The appliance door tends to get quite hot during
the wash cycle.
Should it have to be moved, proceed with the help
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 your laundry into the machine, make
sure the drum is empty.
Saving energy and respecting the
environment
Environmentally-friendly technology
If you only see a little water through your appliance
door, this is because thanks to the latest Ariston
technology, your machine only needs less than half the
amount of water to get the best results: an objective
reached to respect the environment.
Saving on detergent, water, energy and time
To avoid wasting resources, the machine should be
used with a full load. A full load instead of two half
loads allows you to save up to 50% on energy.
The pre-wash cycle is only necessary on extremely
soiled garments. Avoiding it will save on detergent,
time, water and between 5 and 15% energy.
Treating stains with a stain remover or leaving them
to soak before washing will cut down the need to
wash them at high temperatures.
A programme at 60°C instead of 90°C or one at
40°C instead of 60°C will save up to 50% on
energy.
Use the correct quantity of detergent, depending on
the water hardness, how soiled the garments are
and the amount of laundry you have, to avoid
wastage and to protect the environment: despite
being biodegradable, detergents do contain
ingredients that alter the natural balance of the
environment. In addition, avoid using fabric softener
as much as possible.
If you use your machine between late in the
afternoon and the early hours of the morning, you
will help reduce the electricity board’s peak load.
If your laundry has to be dried in a tumble dryer,
select a high spin speed. Having the least water
possible in your laundry will save you time and
energy in the drying process.
Disposal
Disposing of the packaging material:
observe local regulations, so the packaging can be
re-used.
Disposing of an old machine:
before scrapping your appliance, cut the power
supply cable and remove the appliance door.
Disposal of old electrical appliances
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires
that old household electrical appliances must not be
disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste
stream. Old appliances must be collected separately
in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the
materials they contain and reduce the impact on
human health and the environment.
The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on
the product reminds you of your obligation,
that when you dispose of the appliance it
must be separately collected.
Consumers should contact their local
authority or retailer for information
concerning the correct disposal of their old
appliance.

12
Switching off the electricity
Turn off the water tap after every wash. This will
limit the wear of your appliance’s water system and
also prevent leaks.
Unplug your appliance when cleaning it and during
all maintenance operations.
Cleaning
Cleaning the exterior
Use a damp cloth or silicon polish to clean the exterior
surfaces of the appliance.
Cleaning the door bowl
Clean the internal surface of the door bowl regularly
with a soft cloth. A build up of soap powder and water
hardness residue may result in water leaking from the
door.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer and
compartments
It is advisable to clean the dispenser drawer regularly.
! Do not try to clean any part of the dispenser drawer
while the machine is running.
1. Pull out the drawer until it
reaches its stop.
2. Press the drawer release
button to remove the dispenser
drawer (see figure).
3. Clean and dry the dispenser
drawer, syphons, grate and
fabric conditioner exit channel
(A). Also regularly clean the
outlet pipe area (B).
4. Relocate the dispenser drawer and push it firmly
back into place.
! Do not clean any part of the machine with abrasive
cleaners, scouring agents, acids, any bleach or metal
polish as they may cause damage.
Caring for your appliance door and
drum
Always leave the appliance door ajar to prevent
unpleasant odours from forming.
Checking the water inlet hose
Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If you
see any cracks, replace it immediately. During the
wash cycles, high water pressure could cause a
cracked hose to split open.
! Never use hoses that have already been used.

Troubleshooting
Your machine could fail to work. Before calling for Assistance (see Service), make sure the problem can’t easily be
solved by consulting the following list:
Possible causes / Solution:
The appliance is not plugged into the socket, or not enough to make
contact.
There has been a power failure.
The appliance door is not shut properly.
The ON/OFF button has not been pressed for at least 2 seconds.
The START/CANCEL button
has not been pressed for at least 2
seconds.
The water tap is not turned on.
The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap.
The hose is kinked.
The water tap is not turned on.
There is a water shortage.
The water pressure is insufficient.
The START/CANCEL button
has not been pressed for at least 2
seconds.
The drain hose is not fitted between 65 and 100cm from the floor (see
Installation).
The free end of the hose is underwater (see installation).
The wall drainage system doesn’t have a breather pipe.
If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water tap,
switch the appliance off and call for Assistance. If the dwelling is on one of
the upper floors of a building, there may be drain trap problems causing
the machine to load and unload water continuously. In order to avoid such
an inconvenience, special anti-drain trap valves are available in shops.
If the machine was unable to balance the load it will use a slow spin rather
than risk machine damage; the clothes might appear wetter than
expected.
The drain hose is bent (see Installation).
The drain duct is clogged.
Problem:
The machine won’t start?
The wash cycle won’t start?
The machine fails to fill with
water?
The machine continuously fills
with water and drains?
The machine does not drain or
spin?
Tr7738gb_AMXXL129.p65 15/07/05, 14.1913

Troubleshooting
Possible causes / Solution:
The transit fixings were not removed correctly (see Installation).
The machine is not level (see Installation).
The machine is closed in, between furniture cabinets and the wall (see
Installation).
The water inlet hose is not connected correctly (see Installation).
The detergent dispenser is obstructed, clean it (see Care and
Maintenance).
The drain hose is not secured properly (see Installation).
The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should bear the
definition “for washing machines” or “hand and machine wash”, etc.)
You used too much detergent.
Is the cold water turned on at the tap?
Did you select the correct heat/time setting?
Was the laundry spun dry at the end of the wash programme, if not select
the spin and dry option to suit the type of fabric?
Is your water pressure within limits?
Call for assistance because this means there is an error.
This is not a fault. We have designed the machine to release steam from
the dispenser drawer during hot washes. It may also vent (Washer Dryer
only) during drying.
