check into the drum before using.

• Any objects such as coins, safety pins, nails, screws, stones or any other hard, sharp ma­terial can cause extensive damage and must not be placed into the machine.

• Only use the advised quantities of fabric softener and detergent. Damage to the fabric
can ensue if you over-fill. Refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations of quantities.

• Wash small items such as socks, laces, washable belts etc in a washing bag or pillow case
as it is possible for such items to slip down between the tub and the inner drum.

• Do not use your washing machine to wash articles with whalebones, material without
hems or torn material.

• Always unplug the appliance and turn off the water supply after use, cleaning and main­tenance.

This drawback increases with technical fabrics.
To prevent the lint in your clothes, it is recommended:

• To do not wash dark fabrics after you washed and dried light colored fabrics (new
sponge, wool, sweatshirt especially) and vice versa.

• To air-dry this type of fabrics when they are washed the first time.

• To clean the filter.

• Perform one or more rinse cycles to wash the drum between the washing and drying of
fabrics with different colors.

• After the drying phase, thoroughly clean the empty drum, the gasket and the door with a
wet rag.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

Sorting out 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° or 90°

60°/50°

40°-30°- Cold

for normally soiled white cottons and linen (e.g. tea cloths, towels,
tablecloths, sheets...)

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)

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

22 Helpful hints and tips

Maximum loads

Recommended loads are indicated in the washing 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

quilt cover 700 g

man’s work shirt 600 g

sheet, man’s pyjamas 500 g

tablecloth 250 g

pillow case, towelling towel, night dress, man’s shirt 200 g

tea cloth, ladies’ briefs, napkin, blouse, 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

the stain.
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat stains with methylated spirits. Treat any
residual marks 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.

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

Drying Hints

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

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 liquid detergents, a programme without prewash must be selected.
Your appliance incorporates a recirculation system which allows an optimal use of the con­centrated detergent.
Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations on quantities to use and do not ex-

ceed the «MAX» mark in the detergent dispenser drawer.

Degrees of water hardness

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.

A water softener must be added when water has a medium-high degree of hardness (from
degree of hardness II). Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. The quantity of detergent
can then always be adjusted to degree of hardness I (= soft).

23

Level Characteristic

1 soft 0-7 0-15

2 medium 8-14 16-25

3 hard 15-21 26-37

4 very hard > 21 > 37

DRYING HINTS

Preparing the drying cycle

As a dryer, the appliance works on the condensation principle.

Degrees of water hardness

German °dH French °T.H.

24 Drying Hints

Therefore, the water tap must be open and the drain hose must drain water into a sink
or into the drain pipe, even during the drying cycle.
Attention!

Before starting the drying programme, reduce the loads of washed laundry, in order to ob­tain good performances.

Laundry not suitable for drying

• Particularly delicate items such as synthetic curtains, woollen and silk, garments with

metal inserts, nylon stockings, bulky garments such as anoraks, bed covers, quilts, sleep-

ing bags and duvets must not be machine dried.

• Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy items such as towels as these can

attract the fluff.

• Remove the laundry when the appliance has finished drying.

• To avoid a static charge when drying is completed, use either a fabric softener when you

are washing the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for tumble dryers.

• Garments padded with foam-rubber or materials similar to foam-rubber must not be

machine dried; they represent a fire hazard.

• Also, fabrics containing residue of setting lotions or hair sprays, nail solvents or similar

solutions must not be machine dried in order to avoid the formation of harmful vapours.
The detergent and any additives must be placed in the appropriate compartments of the
dispenser drawer before starting the wash programme.
If using liquid detergents, a programme without prewash must be selected.
Your appliance incorporates a re-circulation system which allows an optimal use of the
concentrated detergent.
Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations on quantities to use and do not ex-

ceed the «MAX» mark in the detergent dispenser drawer.

Garment labels

For drying, follow the indications given on the manufacturer’s labels:

= May be tumble dried

•

= Drying at high temperature

•

= Drying at reduced temperature

•

= Do not tumble dry.

•

Drying cycle duration

The drying time may vary depending on:

• speed of the final spin

• dryness degree required (iron dry, store dry)

• type of laundry

• weight of the load size .
The average drying time for a timed drying are indicated in the «Drying programmes» chap­ter. The experience will help you to dry your laundry in a more suitable way, according to
the different fabrics. Take note of the duration drying time of the already performed cycles.

Care and cleaning

Additional drying

If the laundry is still damp at the end of the drying programme, select a short drying cycle
again.

WARNING!

Do not over dry the laundry in order to avoid creasing of fabrics or garment’s shrinking.

CARE AND CLEANING

You must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can carry out
any cleaning or maintenance work.

Descaling

The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good idea to periodically use a water soft­ening powder in the machine. Do this separately from any laundry washing, and according
to the softening powder manufacturer's instructions. This will help to prevent the forma­tion of lime deposits.

After each wash

Leave the door open for a while. This helps to prevent mould and stagnant smells forming
inside the appliance. Keeping the door open after a wash will also help to preserve the door
seal.

Maintenance wash

With the use of low temperature washes it is possible to get a build up of residues inside
the drum.
We recommend that a maintenance wash be performed on a regular basis.
To run a maintenance wash:

• The drum should be empty of laundry.

• Select the hottest cotton wash programme.

• Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a powder with biological properties.

25

External cleaning

Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and water only, and then dry thor­oughly.

Do not use methylated spirits, solvents or similar products to clean the cabinet.

Detergent dispenser drawer

The detergent dispenser drawer should be cleaned regularly.

26 Care and cleaning

1. To aid cleaning, the top part of the addi-

tive compartment should be removed.
Remove the detergent dispenser drawer
by pressing the catch downwards and by
pulling it out.

2. Flush it out under a tap, to remove any

traces of accumulated powder.

3. Having removed the drawer, use a small

brush to clean the recess, ensuring that
all washing powder residue is removed
from the upper and lower part of the
recess.

4. Replace the drawer and run the rinse

programme without any clothes in the
drum.

Washing drum

Rust deposits in the drum may occur due to rusting foreign bodies in the washing or tap
water containing iron.

Do not clean the drum with acidic descaling agents, scouring agents containing chlorine or
iron or steel wool.

1. Remove any rust deposits on the drum with a cleaning agent for stainless steel.

2. Run a washing cycle without any washing to clean off any cleaning agent residues.

Programme: Short Cotton Programme at maximum temperature and add approx. 1/4
measuring cup of detergent.

Care and cleaning 27

Door seal

Check from time to time the door seal and objects
that could be trapped in the fold.

Drain pump

The pump should be inspected regularly and particularly if:

• the appliance does not empty and/or spin;

• the appliance makes an unusual noise during draining due to objects such as safety pins,

coins etc. blocking the pump;

• a problem with water draining is detected (see chapter “What to do if...” for more de-

tails).

WARNING!

Before unscrewing the pump cover, switch the appliance off and remove the mains plug
from the socket.

Proceed as follows:

1. Unplug the appliance.

2. If it is necessary, wait until the water has cooled down.

emptying hose and place the latter back
in its seat.

8. Replace the filter into the pump by in-

serting it correctly into the special
guides. Screw the pump cover firmly by
turning it clockwise.

WARNING!

When the appliance is in use and depending
on the programme selected there can be hot
water in the pump.
Never remove the pump cover during a wash cycle, always wait until the appliance has fin­ished the cycle, and is empty. When refitting the pump cover, ensure it is securely re-tight­ened so as to stop leaks and young children being able to remove it.

Cleaning the water inlet filters

If the appliance doesn't fill, it takes a long time to fill with water, the starting button blinks
yellow or the display (if available) shows the relevant alarm (see chapter "What to do if..."
for more details), check if the water inlet filters are blocked .

To clean the water inlet filters:

1. Turn off the water tap.

2. Unscrew the hose from the tap.

3. Clean the filter in the hose with a stiff

brush.

4. Screw the hose back onto the tap. Make

What to do if… 33

The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the
laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is redis­tributed by reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen several
times before the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can
resume. If, after 10 minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distrib­uted in the drum, the machine will not spin. In this case, redistrib­ute the load manually and select the spin programme.

• Redistribute the laundry.

The load is too small.

• Add more items, redistribute the load manually and then select
the spinning programme.

• Clean the drain filter.

The machine is overloaded.

• Reduce the laundry load.

The selected drying time was not suitable for the laundry.

• Select the suitable drying time for the laundry.

The machine is fitted with a type of motor which makes an un­usual noise compared with other traditional motors. This new mo­tor ensures a softer start and more even distribution of the laun­dry in the drum when spinning, as well as increased stability of
the machine.

Machines based on modern technology operate very economically
using very little water without affecting performance.

The fabrics washed in the previous cycle released fluff of a differ­ent colour (refer to “Fluff in the garments” in chapter “Use ­Washing & Drying”) .

• The drying phase helps to eliminate some fluff.

• Clean the clothes with a fluff remover.

In case of an excessive amount of fluff in the drum repeat the fol­lowing procedure twice:

• Thoroughly clean the empty drum, the gasket and the door
with a wet rag.

• Perform a rinse cycle.

• Put a wool or piled fabric rag inside the drum.

• Perform a drying cycle of 10 minutes.

• Remove the old wool cloth.

Now you can wash other garments.

authority and building regulations require­ments. Check the minimum water pressure
required for safe operation of the appliance
in the chapter "Technical Data".

Water-stop device

The inlet hose is provided with a water stop de­vice, which protects against damage caused by
water leaks in the hose which could develop due
to natural ageing of the hose. This fault is shown
by a red sector in the window «A». Should this oc­cur, turn the water tap off and refer to your Serv­ice Centre to replace the hose.

Installation 39

Water drainage

This appliance is designed to be permanently plumbed into your home's drainage system
using one of the following methods.

A

40 Installation

1. Into a drainage standpipe

Firstly form a hook in the end of the

drain hose using the “U” piece” supplied.

Place the drain hose into your stand-

pipe, which should have an internal di-

38 mm (11.2”)

standpipe

diameter

ameter of approximately 38 mm thus

ensuring there is an air break between

30 cm(12”)

the drain hose and standpipe.

When discharging into a standpipe en-

sure that the top of the standpipe is no

more than 90 cm (35.4'') and no less

than 60 cm (23.6'') above floor level.

The drain hose may be extended to a

maximum of 4 metres. An additional

drain hose and joining piece is available

from your local Service Force Centre. The joining piece must have an internal diameter

of 18 mm.

If your drain hose looks like this (see be-

low) you do not require the “U” piece”.

Just push the hose firmly in to the

standpipe.

2. Onto a sink outlet spigot.

If the outlet spigot has not been used

before, remove any blanking plug that

may be in place.

Installation 41

Push the drain hose onto the spigot and

secure with a clip, ensure a loop is

formed in the drain hose (see diagram)

to prevent waste from the sink entering

the appliance.
If you intend to drain the hose from the ma­chine into a sink, make sure that the sink is
empty and the plug hole is not blocked.
Use the plastic “U - Piece” supplied.

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.

WARNING!

Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulations’ require­ments.
The appliance must be connected to a cold water supply.

A minimum water pressure of 0.05 MPa (0.5 bar) is required for safe operation of the appli­ance.
If you cannot make the cold water connection direct from the rising mains, you may be
able to operate the appliance from your cold water storage system.
There should be a minimum vertical distance of 5.02 m (16.5 ft) between the appliance’s
inlet and the bottom of the water storage tank.

• Hinges

To mount the hinges it is necessary to drill two

14

holes (dia. 35 mm, depth 12.5-14 mm depend­ing on the depth of door furniture) on the in­ner side of the door. The distance between the
holes hobs fixing centres must be 416 mm.

595-598

The distance (B) from upper edge of the door to
the centre of the hole depends on the adjacent furniture's dimensions.

The required dimensions are given in the picture C.
The hinges will be fixed to the door by means of screws for wood (2-Fig. B) supplied with

the appliance.

• Mounting the door

Fix the hinges (1) to the machine by means of the M5x15 screws (3-Fig. B). The hinges
can be adjusted to compensate for possible uneven thickness of the door.

To align the door perfectly it is necessary to loosen the screw (3-Fig. B), adjust the door
and tighten the screw again.

• Counter-magnet (6)

The appliance is prearranged for a magnetic
closure of the door. To enable a correct opera­tion of this device, it is necessary to screw the
counter-magnet (6) (steel disk + rubber ring)
into the inner side of the door.

Its position must correspond to the magnet (4)
on the appliance (see picture D).

If the door has to be opened from left to right, in­vert the position of the plates (7), the magnet (4)
and the plate (5) (Fig. B and E). Mount the coun­ter-magnet (6) and the hinges (1) as previously
described.

Ecological hints

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.
