Warnings

The following warnings are provided in the interests of overall safety. You must read them carefully before installing or using the appliance.

Installation

•All internal packing must be removed before using the appliance. Serious damage may be caused to the machine or adjacent furniture if the protective transit devices are not removed or are not completely removed. Refer to the relevant paragraph in the instruction book.

•Any electrical work required to install this appliance must be carried out by a qualified electrician.

•Any plumbing work required to install this appliance must be carried out by a qualified plumber.

•After having installed the machine, check that it is not standing on its electrical supply cable.

•If the appliance is placed on a carpeted floor, ensure that air can circulate freely between the feet and the floor.

Use

•This appliance is designed for domestic use. It must not be used for purposes other than those for which it was designed.

•Only wash fabrics which are designed to be machine washed. Follow the instructions on each garment label.

•Do not overload the appliance. Follow the instructions in the instruction book.

•Make sure that all pockets are empty. Objects such as coins, safety pins, pins and screws can cause extensive damage.

•Do not machine wash garments saturated with petroleum, methylated spirits, trichlorethylene, etc. If such fluids have been used to remove stains prior to washing, wait until they have completely evaporated from the fabric before placing garments in the appliance.

•Place small items such as socks, belts, etc. in a cloth bag or pillowcase to prevent them getting trapped between the drum and the tub.

•Use only the recommended quantities of fabric softener. An excessive amount could damage the laundry.

•Leave the porthole door slightly ajar when the appliance is not in use. This preserves the door seal and prevents the formation of musty smells.

•Always check that water has emptied out before opening the door. If not, drain the water following the instructions in the instruction book.

•Always unplug the appliance and shut the water tap after use.

General safety

•Repairs to the machine must be carried out only by qualified personnel. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons could cause serious danger. Contact your local Service Centre.

•Never pull the power supply cable to remove the plug from the socket; always take hold of the plug itself.

•During high temperature wash programmes the door glass may get hot. Do not touch it!

4

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. To avoid this the machine incorporates a special feature. To activate this device, rotate the button (without pressing it) inside the door clockwise until the groove is horizontal. If necessary use a coin.

To disable this device and restore the possibility of closing the door, rotate the button anti-clockwise until the groove is vertical.

P1131

•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.

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

90° 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

14

residual marks with bleach.

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.

The bleaching agent (chlorine) can be used only for white or fast coloured cotton and linen items.

Pour it into the compartment marked .

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.

4. Drain pump

The pump should be inspected if

•the machine does not empty and/or spin

•the machine makes an unusual noise during draining due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking the pump.

Proceed as follows:

•Disconnect the appliance.

•If necessary wait until the water has cooled down.

•Open the pump door.

P1114

•Place a container close to the pump to collect any spillage.

•Release the emergency emptying hose, place it in the container and remove its cap.

•When no more water comes out, unscrew the pump cover and remove the pump. Always keep a rag nearby to dry up spillage of water when removing the pump.

P1115

•Remove any objects from the pump impeller by rotating it.

•Put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose and place the latter back in its seat.

P1117

•Screw the pump cover fully in.

•Close the pump door.

5. Water inlet filter

If you notice that the machine is taking longer to fill, check that the filter in the water inlet hose is not blocked.

Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the hose from the tap.

Clean the filter with a stiff brush. Screw the hose back onto the tap.

P1090

6. Emergency emptying out

If the water is not discharged, proceed as follows to empty out the machine:

•pull out the plug from the power socket;

•close the water tap;

•if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;

•open the pump door;

•place a bowl on the floor and place the end of the emergency emptying hose into the bowl. Remove its cap. The water should drain by gravity into the bowl. Whe the bowl is full, put the cap back on the hose. Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water stops flowing out;

•clean the pump if necessary as previously described;

•replace the emergency emptying hose in its seat after having plugged it;

•screw the pump cover again and close the door.

7. Frost precautions

If the machine is installed in a place where the temperature could drop below 0°C, proceed as follows:

•Remove the plug from the socket.

•Close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet hose from the tap.

•Place the end of the emergency emptying hose and that of the inlet hose in a bowl placed on the floor and let water drain out.

•Screw the water inlet hose back on and reposition the emergency emptying hose after having put the cap on again.

By doing this, any water remaining in the machine is removed, avoiding the formation of ice and, consequently, breakage of the affected parts.

When you use the machine again, make sure that the ambient temperature is above 0°C.

Important!

Every time you drain the water through the emergency emptying hose you must pour 2 litres of water into the main wash compartment of the detergent drawer and then run the drain programme. This will activate the ECO VALVE device avoiding that part of the detergent remains unused at next washing.
