and energy consumption and consequently
reduce cycle length.
Before loading the laundry make sure that
buttons, zips, clasps and buckles are facing
inside and pockets are empty.
At the end of the job do the following:
- leave the door open;
- turn the machine off by the master switch
- close the hot water and cold water taps.
- turn the wall cutoff switch off.
7.5 WASH PROGRAMS
Cycle steps are detailed in the user-friendly
tables attached.
7.6 WARNING
- Do not leave the machine on to no purpose.
TURN the main switch OFF when the
machine is not used.
During use:
- Open the door only when the drum is still
and drained.
- In case of a potential drop, open the door by
the manual puller, down on the left.
Before opening the door make sure that the
drum has come to a complete stop, that the
water has been drained and the temperature
is lower than 40°C.
- Before any maintenance or cleaning
operation, check that the wall cutoff switch
is off and the hot water and cold water taps
are closed.
- Do not load the drum with fabrics that have
been cleaned, dampened, washed or stained
with inflammable or explosive substances.
Otherwise, hand-wash them first.
- Keep inflammable liquids far from the
washing machine, in dry and ventilated
premises, out of the reach of outsiders.
- Keep cleaning products and washing
powders far from the machine, if possible,
closed in a cabinet.
- Do not hamper air inlets or heat-exchanging
openings. Keep an appropriate distance
between the machine and the walls or other
objects.
7.7 ALARMS
All alarms appear on the TIME display.
1) Door open alarm: the "START" button
will not cause the machine to start a cycle
and the "PROG" key will not cause the
programming mode to be entered. The time
display will blink "door" for 3 seconds and
then it will resume its ordinary readings.
2) Alarm E1: water in the tub.
If water in the tub is detected before the start
of a cycle, all functions are disabled. The
alarm will disappear as soon as water reaches
below the safety level. This alarm does not
involve buzzer actuation and is called off
only when the machine is switched off and
then on again, or else, 5 minutes into the
alarm, this is automatically removed and the
door is unlocked. Of course, if when the
machine is switched back on alarm causes
are still there, the display will highlight this
condition.
The sources of this fault are either the drain
(make sure that the solenoid valve is clean
and in good working order) or the built-in
level pressure switch.
3) Alarm E2: Water level alarm
The water level required a the specific
programme has not been reached after taking
in water for 5 minutes. This alarm signal will
automatically disappear as soon as the tub
receives the required amount of water. This
alarm has no effect on the cycle, which is
resumed as soon as the correct water level is
reached.
If the correct level fails to be reached after
water has been taken in for 10 more minutes
the cycle is stopped and the buzzer is
activated. The alarm is called off only when
the machine is switched off and then on
again, or else, 5 minutes into the alarm, this
is automatically removed and the door is
unlocked. Of course, if when the machine is
switched back on alarm causes are still there,
the display will highlight this condition.
The causes may be poor pressure in the
mains, a blocked filter in the water intake
solenoid, a closed supply tap, a broken drain
solenoid valve or a leak in the same (water is
taken in but it is simultaneously drained and
it consequently fails or is slow to reach the
required level).
4) Alarm E3: Drain alarm.
Water has failed to drain below the safety
level after one minute. The cycle will be
resumed after water has reached below the
safety level, with no effect on cycle
completion. The buzzer is not actuated. As
for the causes, see alarm E1.
5) Alarm E4: Heating alarm
After the heating has worked for 20 minutes,
the temperature has not risen by at least 5°C,
and yet the cycle proceeds normally. This
alarm will automatically disappear as soon
as the temperature reaches the established
threshold. The buzzer is not actuated. The
cause may be an incorrect connection of the
heating elements or either scale or lint on the
heating elements. It is advisable to check
that the hot water inlet has been connected
properly: if the cold and hot water inlets
have been inverted, heating times will be
abnormally increased.
6) Alarm E5: Overtemperature alarm -
disconnected temperature probe
Water temperature has exceeded 95°C or the
temperature probe is either broken or
disconnected. The wash cycle is aborted and
the buzzer is activated. This alarm can only
be called off by switching the machine of
and then on again or else, 5 minutes into the
alarm, this is automatically removed and the
door is unlocked. Of course, if when the
machine is switched back on alarm causes
are still there, the display will highlight this
condition.

7) Alarm E6: Door lock alarm
Ten seconds after cycle start the door has
failed to be locked (the door is not closed ten
seconds after the START button has been
pressed). The wash cycle is aborted and the
alarm status can be removed only by pressing
the "START" button again. The buzzer is
not activated. Possible causes: the door may
not be closed properly or the door
microswitch may be damaged owing to
handle misuse.
8) Alarm E7: Door alarm
Door damage is detected during operation:
the wash cycle is immediately aborted and
the tub is drained. Normal conditions can
only be restored by switching the machine
off and then on again or else, 5 minutes into
the alarm, this is automatically removed and
the door is unlocked. Of course, if when the
machine is switched back on alarm causes
are still there, the display will highlight this
condition.
9) Alarm E8: Level alarm
A water level 10 cm above the established
height is detected: the cycle is aborted and
the buzzer is actuated. To remove this alarm,
just switch the machine off and then on again
or else, 5 minutes into the alarm, this is
automatically removed and the door is
unlocked. Of course, if when the machine is
switched back on alarm causes are still there,
the display will highlight this condition. The
cause of this alarm is surely the level probe.
ATTENTION, this fault can also be caused
by the use of foamy soap.
10) Alarm E9: Out-of-balance alarm
When this alarm status occurs, the step in
progress is aborted but the cycle is not
cancelled. The motor is disenergised for 200
or 90 seconds for high-speed spin and low-
speed spin respectively. Then a distribution
step intervenes for 90 seconds in order for
the laundry to be spread correctly.
Alarms occurring during intermediate spin
are not displayed: after distribution, the cycle
skips the spinning step and proceeds.
Conversely, alarms intervening during final
spin blink E9: after distribution, the machine
makes further spinning attempts, up to a
maximum of 15 and if it still fails to spin, the
alarm sign E9 is lit continuously, the buzzer
is actuated and the cycle is aborted. The
alarm is called off only when the machine is
switched off and then on again, or else, 5
minutes into the alarm, this is automatically
removed and the door is unlocked. Of course,
if when the machine is switched back on
alarm causes are still there, the display will
highlight this condition.
Alarm causes may be an incorrect laundry
load (too little or too big), unlevel machine
positioning or dampers worn out through
repeated incorrect loads.
11) Alarm E0: Motor overload cutout
In case of motor fault, i.e. overheating,
misconnection, etc., the motor goes to idle
and the message E0 is lit on the display.
When the motor is put to idle it waits for
