Installation
This instruction manual should be kept in a safe place
for future reference. If the washing machine is sold,
given away or moved, please ensure the manual is kept
with the machine, so that the new owner may benefit
from the advice contained within it.
Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital
information relating to the safe installation and operation
of the appliance.
Inside the pack containing this manual, you will also
find the guarantee and all the details necessary for
installation.
Unpacking and levelling
Unpacking
1. Once you have removed all the packaging from the
washing machine, make sure it has not been damaged
during transportation.
If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not
proceed any further with the installation process.
2. Remove the 4
protective screws (used
during transportation) and
the corresponding spacer,
located on the rear part of
the appliance (see figure).
3. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs supplied in
the pack.
4. Keep all the parts in a safe place; they will be
needed again if the washing machine is moved to
another location, to prevent the inside of the
appliance being damaged.
Packaging materials should not be used as toys for
children.
Levelling
1. Place the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor,
without resting it up against walls or cabinets.
2. If the floor is uneven,
the front feet of the
machine may be adjusted
until it reaches a horizontal
position (the angle of
inclination must not
exceed 2 degrees).
If the appliance is levelled correctly, it will be more
stable and much less likely to cause vibrations and noise
while it is operating, particularly during the spin cycle.
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
Before connecting the inlet hose to the water supply,
run the water until it is perfectly clear.
1. Connect the inlet hose
to the machine by
screwing it onto the cold
water inlet of the
appliance, which is
situated on the top right-
hand side of the rear part
of the appliance (see
figure).
2. Connect the inlet hose
by screwing it to a cold
water tab using a 3/4 gas
threaded connection (see
figure).
3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over or bent.
The water pressure at the tap must fall within the
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 or old inlet hoses; use the
products supplied with the machine.

Auto Dose System
Introduction
This washing machine is
equipped with two tanks:
one for liquid detergent
(either concentrated or
diluted) with a capacity of
approx. 5.5 l and another for
liquid fabric softener (either
concentrated or diluted) with
a capacity of approx. 3.5 l
(see picture).
Check the detergent/fabric
softener box to verify
whether it is diluted or
concentrated detergent. The
automatic dosing system intakes the correct amount of
detergent and fabric softener from the tanks for each
type of load and at the right time, guaranteeing optimal
washing results without wastage. The amount of
detergent/fabric softener can be modified manually by
pressing the DETERGENT and FABRIC SOFTENER
buttons (refer to "Modifying pre-set parameters"). If you
prefer, the washing machine can also be used in the
"traditional" mode, i.e. by adding the detergent in the
dispenser; the machine will automatically detect the
detergent and will not use the tanks.
Detergent dispenser
"Traditional" mode.
Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer up to the first
stop point to add the detergent (either liquid or powder
detergent), bleach or other additives (e.g. whiteners) and
the pre-wash detergent for washing in the "traditional"
mode (refer to "Traditional mode).
"Auto Dose System mode.
In order to fill the detergent
and fabric softener tanks,
the detergent dispenser
drawer must be fully
extracted: open the
dispenser drawer up to the
first stop point then press the
lever (A) and open up to the
second stop point, making
sure that it is fully
extracted. Avoid moving the dispenser drawer during
filling operations. Once the tanks have been filled (refer
to "Filling the tanks"), the machine can run up to 60 cycles
before the detergent finishes (*).
First-time use
Turn the washing machine on by pressing the ON/OFF
button. The first wash cycle must be carried out without
laundry and by adding detergent in the detergent dispenser
(refer to "Traditional mode); set the programme "
"
(Cotton 90°) without pre-wash and without filling the tanks.
Filling the tanks:
Open the detergent dispenser drawer in the "Auto Dose
System" mode (refer to "Detergent dispenser").
Slowly pour the detergent (B) and fabric softener (C)
until the tanks are completely filled (see picture).
To avoid exceeding the maximum capacity, a buzzer (beep)
will sound with growing intensity to signal the level and 3
long beeps will sound once the tank is completely full.
Start the wash cycle immediately after filling the tanks to
ensure that the dispenser is properly cleaned.The
respective icons
(for the detergent) and (for the
fabric softener) will light up gradually to signal the level.
The filling time depends on the density of the product.
Very dense products will take longer to fill.
Close the detergent dispenser drawer only once the
compartments are completely empty.
Select the density of the detergent added (either concentrated
or liquid) by pressing the appropriate button
.
Concentrated
Diluted
The machine will store the selection.
If no option is selected, the detergent intake option will
be pre-set to "diluted".
Use button
to set the amount of fabric softener that
will be automatically extracted by the machine:
1) If concentrated softener is used, we recommend
selecting the first level (
with one bar) and, if necessary,
stepping up by a single position (
with 2 bars) to
increase detergent intake.
2) If diluted softener is used, we recommend setting level
3 (
with 3 bars) and to then either increase/decrease
the amount of fabric softener to be extracted.
3) To exclude the use of fabric softener, press
until the
bars disappear (also refer to "Modifying pre-set
parameters").

Signals for successive refilling:
Once, at the end of a cycle, the level of detergent/fabric
softener falls below the level required for a successive
wash cycle, the display will visualise the relative
messages "At end of cycle refill detergent" or "At end
of cycle refill softener" or "At end of cycle refill
tanks". If the tanks are not filled, the successive wash
cycles in Auto Dose System will be carried out without
any intake of detergent.
We suggest adding detergent and fabric softener
ONLY after the machine's signal.
NEVER mix two different detergents; always clean out
the tank before adding a new type of detergent (refer to
"Cleaning cycle set by the user").
Using the "Auto Dose System"
If the compartments have been filled with detergent and
fabric softener, you may start using the machine (refer
to "Running a wash cycle").
Powder detergents for pre-washing and powder
additives may only be used in the traditional mode or
using the "Auto Dose System", by placing the additives
directly inside the drum, preferably in conjunction with
the "laundry ball".
Whenever bleaching is required, pour the bleach in the
relative compartment (refer to the option "Super Wash").
Modifying pre-set parameters:
The machine automatically intakes detergent on the
basis of the selected programme, wash load and water
hardness. However, the amount of detergent/fabric
softener used may be modified.
button: press to increase, decrease and to exclude
detergent intake.
button: press to increase, decrease and to exclude
fabric softener intake.
The level of detergent/fabric softener suggested by the
machine is indicated by 3 bars.
Less than 3 bars indicates a lower level of detergent/
fabric softener compared to that suggested by the
machine, while more than 3 bars indicates a higher level
of detergent/fabric softener.
Cleaning the tanks:
Tank cleaning cycles can either be automatic or pre-set
by the user.
Automatic cleaning:
The washing machine carries out an automatic cleaning
cycle during the rinse cycle if the level of detergent that
remains is insufficient for carrying out a
successive wash cycle.
Cleaning cycle set by the user:
Run the cleaning cycle (with empty drum) if you require
adding a different product to the previous one or if the
tanks have been incorrectly filled (e.g. fabric softener
has been erroneously poured into the detergent tank or
vice-versa). Press button
and hold for 5 sec. to
activate cleaning of the detergent tank, button
for
cleaning the fabric softener tank or button
for
cleaning both tanks. Keep pressing for a further 3 sec.
(the countdown "4-3-2-1" will appear in the top right
corner) until "CLEAN-GO" pops up.
The cleaning cycle lasts about 40' if the tanks are initially
empty; if not, the cycle will last longer. The icons
indicating that the tanks are empty will appear on the
display.
"Traditional" mode
Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer up to the first
stop point (see picture) then pour the amount of
detergent and other additives (e.g. bleach) required for a
single wash cycle directly into the dispenser.
1. pre-wash compartment:
use powder detergent only.
2. main wash
compartment: use powder
or liquid detergent. If the
latter is used, we
recommend pouring it into
the dispenser immediately
before starting the washing
machine and without
running a pre-wash cycle.
3. bleach compartment: to be used whenever bleaching is
required (refer to "Super Wash" option).
Tablet detergent or the relative "laundry ball" must be
added directly inside the drum. In this event, deactivate
the "Auto Dose System" (by pressing the
button until
the relative vertical bars disappear from the display).
Do not pour any fabric softener as the appropriate
quantity required for each wash cycle will be
automatically extracted.
To deactivate fabric softener intake, press the
button
until the vertical bars disappear from the display.
For wool and silk garments, we recommend using a
special detergent which must be poured directly into the
detergent dispenser (compartment 2).

Detergents and laundry
Detergent
The type and quantity of detergent required depend on
the type of fabric you are washing (cotton, wool, silk,
etc.), as well as its colour, the washing temperature, the
level of soiling and the hardness of the water in the area.
Whenever the detergent and fabric softener Auto Dose
Systemis activated, this washing machine helps to
prevent wastage and to protect the environment,
besides guaranteeing optimal washing performance.
We recommend the following:
Use powder detergent for carrying out a pre-wash
and pour in the "traditional" mode.
Use liquid detergents for delicate cotton garments and
for all low-temperature wash cycles.
When activating the "Auto Dose System" mode, use
liquid detergent and fabric softeners only. Never add
ultra-concentrated detergents (e.g. "Gel" type
detergents or similar).
Use gentle liquid detergents for wool and silk
garments and pour in the "traditional" mode.
Never mix two different detergents; always clean out
the tank before adding a new type of detergent.
The detergent should be poured into the relevant
compartment - or the dispenser placed directly inside the
drum - before the wash cycle begins. In the latter case, it will
not be possible to select the Cottons with pre-wash cycle.
Do not use hand washing detergents because these
create too much foam.
Preparing the laundry
Shake out the garments before loading them into the
machine.
Divide the laundry according fabric type (symbol on the
washing instruction label) and colour, making sure you
separate the coloured garments from the white ones;
Empty all 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 pillowcase 150-200 g
1 tablecloth 400-500 g
1 bathrobe 900-1200 g
1 towel 150-250 g
1 pair of jeans 400-500 g
1 shirt 150-200 g
Washing recommendations
Shirts: use the special Shirts wash cycle to wash
shirts in different fabrics and colours to guarantee they
receive the best possible care.
Jeans: use the special Jeans
wash cycle for all
denim garments; turn inside out before washing and use
a liquid detergent.
Baby: use the special Baby
wash cycle to remove
the remove the soiling typically caused by babies, while
removing all traces of detergent from nappies in order to
prevent the delicate skin of babies from suffering allergic
reactions. The cycle has been designed to reduce the
amount of bacteria by using a greater quantity of water
and optimising the effect of special disinfecting additives
added to the detergent. At the end of the wash cycle,
the machine will slowly rotate the drum; to end the cycle
press the START/PAUSE button.
Silk: use the special Silk
wash cycle to wash all silk
garments. We recommend the use of special detergent
which has been designed to wash delicate clothes.
Curtains: use the Silk
wash cycle. These should
be folded and placed inside the bag provided.
Wool: Hotpoint/Ariston is the only washing machine brand
to have been awarded the prestigious Woolmark Platinum
Care endorsement (M.0508) by the Woolmark Company,
which means that all woollen garments may be washed in
the washing machine, even those which state hand wash
only
on the label. The Wool wash cycle can be used
to wash all woollen garments in the washing machine
while guaranteeing optimum performance.
Duvets: to wash double or single duvets (the weight of
which should not exceed 3,5 kg), cushions or clothes
padded with goose down such as puffa jackets, use the
special Duvets
wash cycle. We recommend that
duvets are placed in the drum with their edges folded
inwards (see figure) and that no more than ¾ of the total
volume of the drum is used.
Quilts: to wash quilts with a synthetic outer layer, use
the bag provided and set the wash cycle to Duvets
.
Bedlinen and towels: use the Bed & Bath cycle
to wash laundry from all over the house; this optimises
fabric softener performance and helps you save time and
energy. We recommend the use of powder detergent.
Stubborn stains: it is wise to treat stubborn stains with
solid soap before washing, and to use the Cottons with
pre-wash cycle.
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.

Precautions and tips
The 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 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.
This appliance was designed for domestic use only.
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 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.
If it must 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 laundry into the washing machine,
make sure the drum is empty.
Disposal
Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local
regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.
The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states
that household appliances should not be disposed of
using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted
appliances should be collected separately in order to
optimise the cost of re-using and recycling the
materials inside the machine, while preventing
potential damage to the atmosphere and to public
health. The crossed-out dustbin is marked on all
products to remind the owner of their obligations
regarding separated waste collection.
For more information relating to the correct disposal of
household appliances, owners should contact their
local authorities or appliance dealer.
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. remove the cover panel on the lower front part of the
washing machine (see overleaf).
4. pull outwards using the
tab as indicated in the figure,
until the plastic tie-rod is
freed from its stop position;
pull downwards until you
hear a click, which
indicates that the door is
now unlocked.
5. open the door; if this is
still not possible repeat the
procedure.
6. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are
securely in place before you push it onto the appliance.
EN
12
Cutting off the water and electricity
supplies
Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle. This will
limit wear on the hydraulic system in the machine and
help to prevent leaks.
Unplug the appliance when cleaning it and during all
maintenance work.
Cleaning the 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.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer
To pull out the dispenser drawer, open until the first stop
point then press lever A to open completely; finally, press
one of the levers D and pull the drawer outwards (see
picture).
Wash it under running water; this procedure should be
effected regularly. Be careful to remove any detergent
residues from the dispenser drawer socket on the
machine.
Keep the drawer to the left hand side when replacing it
to ensure that it centres the guides and to prevent it
from jamming.
Caring for your appliance drum
Always leave the door ajar 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
protective pre-chamber at the base of the pump.
Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug the
appliance.
To access the pre-chamber:
1. take off the cover panel on the front of the machine
by first pressing it in the centre and then pushing
downwards on both sides until you can remove it (see
figures);
2. position a container so
that it will collect the water
which flows out
(approximately 1.5 l) (see
figure);
3. unscrew the lid by
rotating it in an anti-
clockwise direction (see
figure);
4. clean the inside thoroughly;
5. screw the lid back on;
6. 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.

Trouble shooting
Your washing machine could occasionally fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre
(see Assistance), make sure that the problem cannot be not 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 washing machine door
remains locked.
The machine continuously fills
with water and drains.
The washing machine does not
drain or spin.
The machine vibrates a lot during
the spin cycle.
The washing machine leaks.
The icons corresponding to the
Phase in progress flash rapidly
at the same time as the ON/OFF
indicator light.
There is too much foam.
The washing machine door
remains locked.
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 door is not closed properly.
The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.
The water tap has not been opened.
A DELAY TIMER 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.
If you have selected the Baby
cycle or the Easy iron option, when
the wash cycle has finished the machine will slowly rotate the drum; to end
the cycle press the START/PAUSE button or the Easy iron
button. If
you have selected the Silk
wash cycle, the machine will end the cycle
while the laundry is soaking; to drain the water so that the laundry may be
removed, press the START/PAUSE button or the Easy iron
button.
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).
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 wall drainage system is not fitted with a breather pipe.
The wash cycle does not include draining: Some wash cycles require the
drain phase to be started manually (see Wash cycles and options).
The Easy iron option is enabled: to complete the wash cycle, press the
START/PAUSE button (Wash cycles and options).
The drain hose is bent (see Installation).
The drainage duct is clogged.
The drum was not unlocked correctly during installation (see Installation).
The machine is not level (see Installation ).
The machine is trapped between cabinets and walls (see Installation).
The load is unbalanced (see Detergents and laundry).
The water inlet hose is not screwed on properly (see Installation).
The detergent dispenser is blocked (to clean it, see Care and
maintenance).
The drain hose is not fixed in place 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.
Perform the manual unlocking procedure (see Precautions and tips).

Troubleshooting:
The machine's washing
performance is unsatisfactory.
What happens if the tanks are
loaded even if they are already full?
What happens if the dispenser is
used in the traditional mode while
the tanks are still full?
Can the tanks also be used for
powder detergent?
Can powder detergent fall into the
tanks?
What happens if the dispenser is
not opened properly when filling the
tanks?
What happens if detergent and
fabric softener are erroneously
inverted?
What happens if different
detergents are mixed before the
tanks are empty?
Possible causes / Solutions:
The tanks have not been loaded correctly (e.g. fabric softener has been
added instead of detergent or vice-versa)
Two different types of detergent/fabric softener have mixed.
NEVER mix two different detergents; always clean out the tanks before adding
a new type of detergent.
The "Auto Dose Systemis blocked due to prolonged lack of use: carry
out a tank cleaning cycle (refer to "Cleaning cycle set by the user").
Buzzers (Beep) and visual signals (icons appearing on the display) indicate
that the tank is full. If further detergent/fabric softener is added, the excess
quantity will fall into the drum and will be washed away with the next cycle.
The machine will automatically track whether powder or liquid detergent
has been loaded in the traditional mode and will not intake any amount of
detergent from the tank. Fabric softener can only be used in the "Auto
Dose System mode.
No, powder detergent can only be used in the traditional mode.
No, there is a barrier to prevent powder detergent from falling into one of
the tanks even if the dispenser is open in the "Auto Dose System" position
(i.e. completely open).
If the dispenser is not completely open, the detergent or fabric softener
that has been added will fall into the drum and will be washed away with
the next cycle.
The washing machine will wash with unsatisfactory results, the tanks will
have to be emptied and subjected to a manual cleaning cycle.
The machine will wash normally although we recommend only refilling the
tanks after the signal emitted by the machine; do not mix different
detergents/fabric softeners.
Note: To exit Demo mode, press and hold the two ON/OFF and START/PAUSE buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds.
