Installation and removal
When the appliance arrives
Whether new or just transported to a new house, installation is extremely important for the correct functioning of your washing machine.
After removing the appliance from its packaging, check that it is intact. If in doubt, contact a qualified technician immediately. The inside of the machine is blocked, for transportation, by four screws and rubber washers on the back panel.
Do not throw the blocking screws and the spacers away. In the event of a removal, they can be used to block the components inside the appliance again and so protect it during transport.
Connection to the water mains Water pressure must range within the values indicated on the data plate on the rear of your washing machine. Connect the inlet hose (situated unassembled inside the drum) to a cold water tap with a 3/4 gas threaded mouth. If the water pipes are new or left unused, run the water until it is clear and free of debris. Attach the hose to the appliance, in line with the appropriate water pipe inlet at the top right.ù
Unblocking: remove the 4 screws!

Before using the washing machine, remove the screws, screws remove the rubber washers with the relative spacer (keeping all the parts) and use the plastic tabs provided to fill in the holes. Warning: should the screws be re-used, make sure you fasten the shorter at the top. Levelling The washing machine must be levelled appropriately in order to guarantee its correct functioning. level appliance, feet To level the appliance, the feet must be adjusted the angle of adjusted; inclination, measured according to the worktop, must not exceed 2°. When placed on fitted carpet, make sure the ventilation is not obstructed within its surroundings.
If the hose drains into a tub or sink, apply the plastic guide and tie it to the tap.
The guide for draining into tubs and sinks. Water hose inlet to be fitted to the top right.
The feet are adjustable.
Connecting the drain hose On the back of the appliance, towards the top, you will find a hook onto which you should fasten the drain hose if necessary. Insert the other end in a wall draining duct or place it on the edge of a sink or tub avoiding excessive kinks and bending. It should be placed at a height ranging from 60 to 100 cm. In case it is necessary to fix the end of the hose at a height below 60 cm from the ground, it must be fixed in the appropriate hook placed on the back panel as mentioned above.
The hose must never immersed water. remain immersed in water. Extensions are inadvisable. In case of absolute need, the extension must have the same diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 150 cm in length. In case of wall draining pipes, their efficiency must be checked by a qualified technician. If the dwelling is on one of the upper floors of a building, there may be drain trap problems causing the washing machine to load and unload water continuously. In order to avoid such an inconvenience, special antidrain trap valves are available in shops.
Electric connection Before connecting the appliance to the electric socket, be sure that: 1) the electric socket is able to sustain the appliance's maximum power load indicated on the data plate and in compliance with the law; 2) the supply voltage is included within the values indicated on the data plate; 3) the socket is compatible with the appliance's plug. If not, do not use adapters, but replace either the socket or the plug; 4) electric household appliances must be equipped with an "earthing" system, 5) that the machine is not placed on top of the power supply cable once the connection has been made.
Warning!
Any modifications made to the factory settings or an irregular electric connection, any electrical, mechanical or hydraulic modification whatsoever to the appliance shall render the guarantee invalid and shall relieve the manufacturer and retailer of any and all liability. Plastic bags, polystyrene foam, screws and other packaging parts are not children's toys, and are potentially dangerous. Instructions for installation and use 2

Cashmere Gold: As gentle as a hand wash
The Cashmere Gold programme was designed to machine wash the most delicate and precious woollen and Cashmere garments. The Merloni Elettrodomestici "Wool-Cashmere" programme has been approved by The Woolmark Company for washing woollen garments labelled "hand wash only" featuring The Woolmark Company Brands. This is the first delicate hand wash cycle offered by a washing machine approved by The Woolmark Company. (M.0206). This result has been achieved thanks to the speed of the drum (90 rpm), even during the rinse phase, which prevents the fibres from rubbing.
The first washing machine to have "The Woolmark Company" recognition.
Always use programme 9 (wool) with all garments labelled hand wash: the tub with a hand in it. it is advisable to use specific detergents for woollen garments.

It's important for a good wash
deterg The secrets of the detergent dispenser
The first secret: the detergent dispenser is in a handy position underneath the appliance door.
You should add detergent and any additives following the dosage recommended by the manufacturers: generally, all the indications you need are on the box. Doses vary according to wash load, the water hardness and how soiled the washing is. Do not exceed. More detergent does not necessarily mean greater efficiency wash efficienc y, on the contrary... Experience will help you select the right dosage almost automatically: it will become your secret. When pouring in the softener in compartment 3 , avoid exceeding the "max" level indicated. The washing machine automatically adds the softener to the wash in each pro-gramme. Liquid detergent is to be poured in just a few seconds before starting the wash cycle. Remember that liquid detergent is particularly suitable for wash cycles of up to 60 degrees and those not requiring pre-washing. Liquid or powder detergents are sold together with special containers that are to be placed directly inside the washing machine drum, according to the instructions found on the detergent box. Never use hand wash detergent, because it may form too much foam, which could damage the washing machine. One last secret: when washing with cold water, always reduce the amount of detergent you use: it dissolves less easily in cold water than in hot water, so part of it would be wasted.
Pre-wash, bleach and fabric softener
Should it be necessary to bleach, set the special programmes and pour the bleach into compartment 4 of the detergent dispenser. When you pour the bleach in, take care not to exceed the "max" level indicated. The use of bleach excludes the possibility of running a pre-wash. bleac leach only Traditional bleach can only be used on sturdy white fabrics, whereas delicate bleach can be used for coloured fabrics and synthetics. You cannot bleach with the "Silk" program me and with the "Special Programmes" (see page 6).
N.B.: 1) Concentrated bleach must be diluted in all cases. 2) For concentrated detergents (in powder or liquid), use a programme without pre-washing. 3) For detergents contained in a ball or in tablets, do not run a pre-wash.

Troubleshooting
Before follo ollowing Before calling, read the following
Your washing machine could fail to work. In most cases, the problems arising can be easily solved without having to call for a technician. Before calling for assistance, always check these points.
The washing machine fails to start.
Is the plug correctly inserted in the socket? It could have been moved whilst cleaning. Is there electricity in the house? A circuit breaker could have gone off, perhaps because too many appliances are on at the same time. Or perhaps because of a general power failure in your entire area. Is the appliance door shut properly? For safety reasons, the
washing machine cannot work if the door is open or not shut properly. Is the ON/OFF button pressed? If it is, then a programmed start has been set. Is the programmed start knob, on those models concerned, in the correct position? Is the water tap turned on? For safety reasons, if the washing machine does not load water, it cannot start a wash cycle.
?
Leave the washing machine plugged in while cleaning. Even during maintenance, the appliance should always be unplugged. Use solvents and aggressive abrasives. Never use solvents or abrasives to clean the external and rubber parts of the washing machine. Neglect the detergent dispenser. It is removable and can easily be cleaned by leaving it under running water. Go on holiday without thinking about it. Before leaving, always make sure that the washing machine is unplugged and that the water tap is turned off.
RIGHT WRONG
Turning off the water tap after each wash limits the use of the washing machine's hydraulic system and eliminate leakage risks when no-one is at home. Try to only leave the appliance in use unattended if the place where it is located is equipped with a floor drain. Always leave all appliance doors ajar. This will avoid the formation of bad odours. Clean the appliance's exteriors delicately. To clean the exteriors and the rubber parts of the appliance, always use a cloth dipped in lukewarm soapy water.

Is the tap correctly attached to the pipe? Is the drain hose positioned too low? It must be installed at a height ranging from 60 to 100 cm. hose's Is the hose's mouth immersed in water? Does the wall drainage system 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 you live on an upper floor of your building, there may be a problem with your drain trap. To solve this problem, a special valve must be installed.
Is there a water shortage? There could be work in progress in your building or street. Is there enough pressure? The autoclave may be malfunctioning. Is the tap filter clean? If the water is very calcareous, or if work has recently been carried out on the water piping, the tap filter could be clogged with particles and debris. Is the rubber hose bent? The tract of the rubber hose bringing water to the washing machine must be as straight as possible. Make sure it is not squashed or bent.

Is the rubber hose bent? The tract of the drain hose must be as straight as possible. Make sure it is not squashed or bent. machine' hine's Is the washing machine's drain duct clogged? Is there an extension on the drain hose? If so, is it positioned incorrectly, blocking the water flow?
should not be leaning against any sanitary fixtures and must have some free space around it. If it is placed on a fitted carpet floor, ensure that there is enough room for air to circulate between the appliance feet and the carpet.
The washing machine does not drain or spin.
Does the selected programme foresee water draining? Some wash cycles require enabling the draining manually. Has the "Anti-crease" function - in those appliances where it is foreseen - been enabled? This function requires enabling the draining manually. Is the drain pump clogged? To check it, turn off the tap, unplug the washing machine and follow the instructions on page 12, or call for technical assistance.
Too much foam. muc foam. uch
Is the detergent suitable for washing-machine use? Make sure that it bears the definition "for washing-machines" or "hand and machine wash", or the like. Is the correct amount being used? An excessive amount of detergent, besides producing too much foam, does not guarantee a more effective wash, and causes scaling in the internal parts of the appliance. If, despite all checks, the washing machine fails to function and the problem persists, call your nearest authorised Customer Service Centre, providing the following information: - the type of malfunctioning - the model type no. (Model....... ) - the serial number (S/N .....) These indications can be found on the data plate situated on the back of the washing machine front base. (fig. 1)
The washing machine The washing machine vibrates too much leaks. during the spin cycle.
Has the internal floating unit been correctly unblocked during installation? See page 2 on installation procedures. Has the washing machine been levelled correctly? The levelling of the appliance should be checked periodically. In time, the appliance could move imperceptibly. Adjust the feet and check them with a level. Has it got enough room around around it? The appliance Is the metal ring of the inlet hose properly attached? Turn off the tap, unplug the appliance and try tightening its attachment without forcing it. Is the detergent dispenser obstructed? Try extracting it and washing it under tap water. Is the drain hose well attached? attached? Turn off the tap, unplug the appliance and try tightening its attachment.
Always get assistance from authorised technicians and always insist on original spare parts
When in need, check the pump and the rubber hose.
The washing machine comes equipped with a self-cleaning pump that does not require any cleaning or maintenance. Small objects may accidentally fall into the pump: coins, hair clips, loose buttons and other small items. To avoid possible damage, they are withheld in an accessible pre-chamber, situated at the lower end of the pump.
To access this pre-chamber, just remove the panel covering the bottom of the washing machine (fig. 1); then lift the cover rotating it anti-clockwise (fig. 2) and check its contents accurately. The rubber hose Check the rubber hose at least once a year. If you see any cracks, replace it immediately. When you use your washing machine, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose could easily split open. Fig. 1 Fig. 1 Fig. 2
Warning: make sure that the wash cycle has come to a full stop and unplug the appliance before removing the lid as well as before any type of maintenance procedure. It is normal to find that a little water comes out after removing the lid. When replacing the panel, make sure you insert the hooks situated at the bottom of the washing machine in the right slots before pushing it back against the appliance.

Easy Care and Maintenance
Treat it well and it' ll be your friend forever
Your washing machine is designed to last a lifetime without any problems. A few simple steps help keep it in shape and last longer. Firstly, you must turn off the water tap after each wash: the constant pressure of water could warp a few of the component parts. In addition, by doing so, you will avoid the risk of leaks when no-one is at home. If the water in your area is too hard, use a deliming product (water is hard if it often leaves whitish stains around taps or drains, especially of bath tubs. For more accurate information as to the type of water in your system, call the local water works or a local plumber). Pockets must always be emptied by removing even coins, pins, badges and any other hard object. The washing machine exterior should be cleaned with a cloth dipped in lukewarm soapy water.
Your washing machine is a reliable companion in life and on the job. It is just as important for you to keep it in shape.
It is important to wash the detergent dispenser regularly. To prevent dried washing powder from accumulating, place the dispenser under running water for a few minutes.
Never exaggerate with detergent doses.
Normal detergents already contain deliming agents. Only if the water is particularly hard, that is, rich in lime content, do we recommend the use of a specific product at every wash. A periodical wash cycle with a dose of a deliming product, without detergents or washing, may prove useful. Never use too much detergent or additives because this could cause an excess amount of foam, scaling and possible damage to the component parts of your washing machine.
Do not forget to empty all pockets:
small metallic objects can cause damage to your washing machines drum during the spin cycle.
How to clean the detergent dispenser How clean deterg
Disassembly:
Press lightly on the large button on the front of the detergent dispenser and pull it upwards (fig. 1).
Cleaning:
Then clean the dispenser under a tap (fig. 3) using an old toothbrush and, once the pair of siphons inserted in the top of compartments 1 and 2 (fig. 4) have been pulled out, check whether the same are not clogged and then rinse them.
Reassembly:
Do not forget to reinsert the pair of siphons into the special housings and then to replace the dispenser into its seat, clicking it into place (fig. 4, 2 and 1).

Electronic ABC balancing of your spin cycle
Warning
This appliance is equipped with an electronic autobalancing device ( Auto Balance Control) that enables the spin cycle to be run at high speed only with well-distributed wash loads. An unbalanced wash load would in fact seriously damage the appliance. Before each spin cycle phase, the ABC auto-balancing system makes the drum perform repeated revolutions, both clockwise and anticlockwise, in order to distribute the garments inside it uniformly and then to start the spin cycle off gently. In special load conditions, these revolutions may not be sufficient to distribute the weight inside the drum evenly (if there are towel bathrobes, blankets and sheets inside it that have formed a "ball", etc.). In these conditions, two different things may happen: - the ABC system "accepts" the imbalance, but reduces the spin speed. In this case, the clothes will come out wetter than usual; - the ABC system deems this imbalance to be beyond the acceptability threshold and excludes the spin cycle. In this case, take out the washing, unroll the garments and put them all back into the appliance and set the spin cycle programme. In both cases, it is not a matter of poor appliance quality, but raher one of the more advanced features it has to protet it from breakages, vibrations, movements on the floor or other inconveniences.

Quand votre lavelinge arrive
Que votre lave-linge soit neuf ou que vous veniez juste de déménager, son bon fonctionnement dépend en grande partie de son installation. Après avoir déballé l'appareil, vérifiez s'il est en bon état. En cas de doute, faites appel à un professionnel du secteur. Pour permettre son transport, l'in-térieur du lavelinge a été blo-qué à l'aide de quatre vis et de caoutchoucs sur le pan- neau arrière de la machine. Déblocage: enlever les 4 vis!

Avant de brancher votre lave-linge, enlevez les vis, le caoutchouc et la cale (conservez bien toutes ces pièces) et bouchez les trous à l'aide des cache-trous en plastique fournis avec l'appareil. Attention: en cas de réutilisation, les vis plus courtes doivent être montées dessus.
Mise à niveau
Raccordement à la prise d'eau La pression de l'eau doit être comprise entre les valeurs indiquées sur la plaquette fixée à l'arrière de l'appareil. Raccordez le tuyau d'arrivée que vous trouvez, démonté, à l'intérieur du tambour à une prise d'eau froide à embout fileté 3/4 gaz. Si les tuyauteries de l'eau sont neuves ou inutilisées depuis longtemps, faites couler l'eau jusqu'à ce qu'elle soit limpide et sans impuretés avant de raccorder. Raccordez le tuyau à la machine, au niveau de la prise d'eau prévue en haut, à droite.
Si le tuyau évacue dans la baignoire ou dans le lavabo, appliquez le support en plastique et attachez-le au robinet.
Branchement électrique Avant de brancher la machine à la prise de courant, contrôlez que: 1) la prise de courant est conforme aux normes et que sa charge électrique est bien apte à supporter la puissance maximum de la machine figurant sur la plaquette des caractéri-stiques; 2) la tension d'alimentation est bien comprise entre les valeurs figurant sur la plaquette des caractéri-stiques; 3) la prise est bien compati- ble avec la fiche de la machine. En cas d'incompatibilité, n'utilisez pas d'adaptateurs mais remplacez la prise ou la fiche; 4) votre installation électrique dispose bien d'une "mise à la terre". 5) une fois la machine branchée, elle ne s'appuie pas sur le câble d'alimentation.
