Connecting the drain hose  
• the supply voltage is included within the values i  
ndicated on the Technical details table  
(see page 5);  
GB  
Connect the drain hose,  
without bending it, to a  
draining duct or a wall  
drain situated between  
65 and 100 cm from  
the floor;  
• the socket is compatible with the washing  
machine's plug. If this is not the case, replace  
the socket or the plug.  
65 - 100 cm  
Your appliance is now supplied with a 13 amp fused  
plug it can be plugged into a 13 amp socket for  
immediate use. Before using the appliance please  
read the instructions below.  
The drain hose may be  
connected to an

under-sink trap. Before  
connecting the drain  
hose from the machine  
ensure that any blanks  
or removable ends  
have been taken off  
the spigot.  
Replacing the fuse:  
When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA  
approved fuse to BS 1362 should always be used,  
and the fuse cover re-fitted. If the fuse cover is lost,  
the plug must not be used until a replacement is  
obtained.

Replacement fuse covers:  
If it is place over the  
edge of a basin or sink  
be sure the free end of  
the hose should not be  
underwater.  
If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of  
the correct colour as indicated by the coloured  
marking or the colour that is embossed in words on  
the base of the plug. Replacements can be obtained  
directly from your nearest Service Depot.  
Removing the plug:  
If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug  
and you should wish to re-route the mains cable  
through partitions, units etc., please ensure that  
either:  
! 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 150 cm in length.  
the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere re-  
wearable plug bearing the BSI mark of approval.  
or:  
the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp cable  
outlet, controlled by a switch, (in compliance with  
BS 5733) which is accessible without moving the  
appliance.  
Ensure that if the drain hose is pushed into a  
standpipe, that the end does not go down more  
than 15cms (6 inches). If the hose is pushed down  
too far, this may cause the machine to self -syphon  
ie. continuously empty as it is filling.  
Disposing of the plug:  
Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself, you  
make the pins unusable so that it cannot be  
accidentally inserted into a socket.  
Electric connection  
Before plugging the appliance into the mains  
socket, make sure that:

Special programmes  
Daily wash (programme 9 for Synthetics) is designed to wash lightly soiled garments in a short amount of time: it only lasts 30  
minutes and allows you to save on both time and energy. By setting this programme (9 at 30°C), you can wash different fabrics  
together (except for woollen and silk items), with a maximum load of 3 kg. We recommend the use of liquid detergent.  
“A class at 40°”, the washing machine has a special programme to allow you to obtain optimum results even at low  
temperatures. By setting programme 4 at a temperature of 40° C, the results you will obtain will be the same as you  
would normally obtain at 60°C thanks to the washing machines action and the length of the wash cycle.

Preparing your laundry  
• Divide your laundry according to:  
- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label.  
- the colours: separate coloured garments from  
whites.  
• Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons.  
• Do not exceed the weight limits stated below,  
which refer to the weight when dry:  
Sturdy fabrics: max 5 kg

Precautions and advice  
! The washing 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.  
recycling of the materials they contain and reduce  
the impact on human health and the  
GB  
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.  
General safety  
• This appliance has been designed for non-  
professional, household use and its functions must  
not be changed.  
Consumers should contact their local authority or  
retailer for information concerning the correct  
disposal of their old appliance.  
• This washing machine should only be used by  
adults and in accordance with the instructions  
provided in this manual.  
Saving energy and respecting the  
environment  
• Never touch the washing machine when barefoot  
or with wet or damp hands or feet.  
Environmentally-friendly technology  
If you only see a little water through your appliance  
door, this is because thanks to the latest Ariston  
technology, your washing machine only needs less  
than half the amount of water to get the best results:  
an objective reached to respect the environment.  
• 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.  
Saving on detergent, water, energy and time  
• To avoid wasting resources, the washing 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.  
• Do not touch the drain water as it could reach  
very high temperatures.  
• Never force the washing machine door: this could  
damage the safety lock mechanism designed to  
prevent any accidental openings.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
• Before loading your laundry into the washing  
machine, make sure the drum is empty.  
Disposal  
• Disposing of the packaging material:  
observe local regulations, so the packaging can  
be re-used.  
• If you use your washing machine from late in the  
afternoon until the early hours of the morning, you  
will help reduce the electricity board's peak load.  
• 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 must be collected  
separately in order to optimise the recovery and  
• 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.

Care and maintenance  
Cutting off the water or electricity  
supply  
Cleaning the pump  
GB  
The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning  
pump that does not require any maintenance.  
Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons)  
may fall into the pre-chamber that protects the  
pump, situated in the lower part of the same.  
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.  
! Make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug  
the appliance.  
Cleaning your appliance  
To access the pre-chamber:  
The exterior and rubber parts of your appliance can  
be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm  
soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.  
1. using a screwdriver,  
remove the cover panel  
on the lower front of the  
washing machine (see  
figure);  
Cleaning the detergent dispenser  
Remove the dispenser  
by pulling it out (see  
figure).  
Wash it under running  
water; this operation  
should be repeated  
frequently.  
2. unscrew the lid  
rotating it anti-  
clockwise (see figure): a  
little water may trickle  
out. This is perfectly  
normal;  
Caring for your appliance door and  
drum  
Always leave the appliance door ajar to prevent  
unpleasant odours from forming.  
3. clean the interior 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 water inlet hose at least once a year. If  
you see any cracks, replace it immediately: during  
the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and  
a cracked hose could easily split open.  
! Never use hoses that have already been used.

Troubleshooting  
Your washing machine could fail to work. Before calling for Assistance (see page 14), make sure the problem  
GB  
can't easily be solved by consulting the following list.  
Possible causes/Solution:  
Problem  
• The appliance is not plugged into the socket, or not enough to make contact.  
• There has been a power failure.  
The washing machine won't  
start.  
• The appliance door is not shut properly.  
• The  
button has not been pressed.  
NB: It should be held minimum one second.  
• The water tap is not turned on.  
• The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap.  
• The hose is bent.  
The washing machine does not  
fill with water.  
• The water tap is not turned on.  
• There is a water shortage.  
• The water pressure is insufficient.  
• The drain hose is too low or too far in to the stand pipe (see page 3)  
for correct installation.  
The machine continuously fills  
and empties with water.  
• The wall drainage system doesn't have a standard pipe (min. 38 mm).  
• Some programs have a slower final spin to taked best care of the  
fabrics. See page 8 for details of the final spin speed for each program.  
• The programme does not foresee the draining: some programmes  
require enabling the draining manually (see page 8).  
• The Anticrease function is enabled (where available): This function  
requires enabling the draining manually.  
The washing machine does not  
drain or spin.  
• The drain hose is bent (see page 3).  
• Remove the drain hose from the standpipe or under-sink trap and  
check for blockages, ensuring that the water can drain freely away  
from the machine.  
• Check that the transit bolts were removed correctly during installation  
(carefully read pages 2 and 3).  
The washing machine vibrates  
too much during the spin cycle.  
• The washing machine is not level (see page 2).  
• The washing machine is closed in between furniture cabinets and  
the wall (see page 2).  
• The water inlet hose is not screwed on correctly (see page 2).  
• The detergent dispenser is obstructed (to clean it, see page 12).  
• The drain hose is not secured properly (see page 3).  
The washing machine leaks.  
• Wait a few minutes for the drain pump to empty the tub, switch the  
washer off, select one of the symbols stop/reset , then switch it  
back on. If the knob continues to turn, call for assistance because it  
is showing an anomaly.  
The programme selector knob  
keeps turning?  
• The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should bear the  
definition "for washing machines" or "hand and machine wash", or the like).  
• You used too much detergent.  
There is too much foam.
