Disposal

Tips for environmental protection

Packaging materials

The materials marked with the symbol are
recyclable.

>PE<=polyethylene
>PS<=polystyrene
>PP<=polypropylene

This means that they can be recycled by disposing of
them properly in appropriate collection containers.

Machine

Use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance.
Help to keep your country tidy!

To save water, energy and to help protect the
environment, we recommend that you follow these
tips:

• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without
prewashing in order to save detergent, water and
time (the environment is protected too!).

• The machine works more economically if it is fully
loaded.

• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited
soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be
washed at a lower temperature.

• Measure out detergent according to the water
hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of
laundry being washed.

Child safety

• Children are often not aware of how dangerous
electrical appliances can be. When the machine is
working, children should be carefully supervised
and not be allowed to play with the appliance.

• The packaging components (e.g. plastic film,
polystyrene) can be dangerous to children - danger
of suffocation! Keep them out of children’s reach.

• Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children’s
reach.

• Make sure that children or pets do not climb into
the drum.

• When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the
electrical supply cable and destroy the plug with
the remaining cable. Disable the door catch in
order to prevent children from becoming trapped
inside while playing.

Unpacking

All transit bolts and packing must be
removed before using the appliance.

You are advised to keep all transit devices so that
they can be refitted if the machine ever has to be
transported again.

1. Using a spanner, unscrew and remove the two

rear bottom screws. Slide out the two plastic pins.

2. Lay the machine on its back, taking care not to

squash the hoses. This can be avoided by
placing one of the corner packing pieces between
the machine and the floor.

3. Remove the polystyrene block from the bottom of

the machine and release the two plastic bags.

4. Very carefully slide out the left polythene bag,

removing it towards the right and then
downwards.

5. Very carefully slide out the right polythene bag,

removing it towards the left and then upwards.

6. Set the machine upright and remove the

remaining rear screw. Slide out the relevant pin.

P0001

7. Plug all the holes with the plugs which you will
find in the envelope containing the instruction
booklet.

Positioning and levelling

Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
Make sure that air circulation around the machine is
not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that the
machine does not touch the wall or other kitchen
units.
Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in or
out. Never place cardboard, wood or similar
materials under the machine to compensate for any
unevenness in the floor.

Water inlet

Connect the water inlet hose supplied with the
machine to a tap with a 3/4" thread.

Do not use already employed hoses for water
connection.

The other end of the inlet hose which connects to
the machine can be turned in any direction. Simply
loosen the fitting, rotate the hose and retighten the
fitting, making sure there are no water leaks.

The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too
short and you do not wish to move the tap, you will
have to purchase a new, longer hose specially
designed for this type of use.

Important!

Before connecting up the machine to new pipework
or to pipework that has not been used for some
time, run off a reasonable amount of water to flush
out any debris that may have collected in the pipes.

Water drainage

The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three
ways:

Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plastic
hose guide supplied with the machine. In this

case, make sure the end cannot come unhooked
when the machine is emptying.
This could be done by tying it to the tap with a piece
of string or attaching it to the wall.

In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must be
above the trap so that the bend is at least 60 cm
above the ground.

Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less
than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm.
The end of the drain hose must always be
ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain pipe
must be larger than the outside diameter of the drain
hose.

P0022

P0021

Any extension applied to the drainage hose should
not be longer than 200 cm and its diameter must not
be smaller than that of the original hose. Use a
suitable fitting for the connection.

The drain hose must not be kinked.

For a correct functioning of the machine the
drain hose must remain hooked on the proper
support piece situated on the top part of the
back side of the appliance.

Electrical connection

This machine is designed to operate on a 220-230
V, single-phase, 50 Hz supply.

Check that your domestic electrical installation can
take the maximum load required (2.2 kW), also
taking into account any other appliances in use.

Connect the machine to an earthed socket.

The manufacturer declines any responsibility
for damage or injury through failure to comply
with the above safety precaution.
Should the appliance power supply cable
need to be replaced, this should be carried
out by our Service Centre.

Please ensure that when the appliance is
installed the power supply cable is easily
accessible.

Washing hints

Sorting the laundry

Follow the wash code symbols on each garment
label and the manufacturer’s washing instructions.
Sort the laundry as follows:
whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.

Temperatures

95° for normally soiled white cottons and linen

(e.g. tea cloths, towels, tablecloths,
sheets...)

60° for normally soiled, colour fast garments

(e.g. shirts, night dresses, pyjamas....) in

linen, cotton or synthetic fibres and for
lightly soiled white cotton (e.g. underwear).

(cold)for delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed

30°-40° laundry including synthetic fibres and

woollens bearing the label «pure new
wool, machine washable, non-shrink».

Before loading the laundry

Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites
may lose their “whiteness” in the wash.

New coloured items may run in the first wash; they
should therefore be washed separately the first time.

Make sure that no metal objects are left in the
laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).

Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks
and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.

Remove persistent stains before washing. Rub
particularly soiled areas with a special detergent or
detergent paste.

Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or tie
them up in a bag or net.

Maximum loads

Recommended loads are indicated in the
programme charts.

General rules:

Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed;
Synthetics: drum no more than half full;
Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more than

one third full.
Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient

use of water and energy.
For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.

Laundry weights

The following weights are indicative:
bathrobe 1200 g
napkin 100 g
quilt cover 700 g
sheet 500 g
pillow case 200 g
tablecloth 250 g
towelling towel 200 g
tea cloth 100 g
night dress 200 g
ladies’ briefs 100 g
man’s work shirt 600 g
man’s shirt 200 g
man’s pyjamas 500 g
blouse 100 g
men’s underpants 100 g

Removing stains

Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water
and detergent. It is therefore advisable to treat them
prior to washing.

Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried
stains, soak overnight in water with a special
detergent then rub in the soap and water.

Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain
remover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the
stain; treat several times.

Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay
the garment on a soft surface and dab the stain with
the fingertips and a cotton cloth.

Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust
removing product used cold. Be careful with rust
stains which are not recent since the cellulose
structure will already have been damaged and the
fabric tends to hole.

Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whites
and fast coloureds only).

Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and
fast coloureds only).

Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone (*),
lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.

Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat
stains with methylated spirits. Remove any residual
marks from white fabrics with bleach.

Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and
treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse. Treat any
residual marks with bleach.

132992970-EWF800•GB 10/07/03 10:19 Pagina 11

12

Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric
first with acetone (*), then with acetic acid; treat any
residual marks on white fabrics with bleach and then
rinse thoroughly.

Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated
spirits or benzine, then rub with detergent paste.

(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk.

Detergents and additives

Good washing results also depend on the choice of
detergent and use of the correct quantities to avoid
waste and protect the environment. Although
biodegradable, detergents contain substances
which, in large quantities, can upset the delicate
balance of nature.

The choice of detergent will depend on the type of
fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the colour,
washing temperature and degree of soiling.

All commonly available washing machine detergents
may be used in this appliance:

– powder detergents for all types of fabric,
– powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C max)

and woollens,

– liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature

wash programmes (60°C max) for all types of
fabric, or special for woollens only.

The detergent and any additives must be placed in
the appropriate compartments of the dispenser
drawer before starting the wash programme.

If using concentrated powder or liquid detergents, a
programme without prewash must be selected.

The washing machine incorporates a recirculation
system which allows an optimal use of the
concentrated detergent.

Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer
compartment marked just before starting the
programme.

Any fabric softener or starching additives must be
poured into the compartment marked before
starting the wash programme.

Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations
on quantities to use and do not exceed the «MAX»

mark in the detergent dispenser drawer.

Quantity of detergent to be used

The type and quantity of detergent will depend on
the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and
hardness of the water used.

Water hardness is classified in so-called “degrees” of
hardness. Information on hardness of the water in
your area can be obtained from the relevant water
supply company, or from your local authority.

Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on
quantities to use.

Use less detergent if:
– you are washing a small load,
– the laundry is lightly soiled,
– large amounts of foam form during washing.
