Fluff in the garments

During the WASHING AND/OR DRYING PHASE, certain types of fabric, as sponge-cloth,
wool, sweatshirt, could release fluff.
The released fluff could stick to the fabrics during the next cycle.
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

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.

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»

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:

Helpful hints and tips 25

The following weights are indicative:

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.
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.

1) do not use acetone on artificial silk

26 Drying Hints

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).

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

Degrees of water hardness

DRYING HINTS

Preparing the drying cycle

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

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.

Care and cleaning

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.

27

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.

28 Care and cleaning

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.

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.

1. Remove the detergent dispenser drawer by pulling it firmly.

2. Remove the conditioner insert from the

middle compartment.

3. Clean all parts with water.

4. Put the conditioner insert in as far as it

will go, so that it is firmly in place.

5. Clean all parts of the washing machine,

especially the nozzles in the top of the
washing-in chamber, with a brush.

6. Insert the detergent dispenser drawer in

the guide rails and push it in.

Washing drum

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

Care and cleaning 29

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.

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 opening the pump door, switch the appliance off remove the mains plug from the
socket.

Proceed as follows:

1. Unplug the appliance.

2. If necessary wait until the water has cooled down.

3. Open the pump door.

4. Pull flap forward to remove.

5. Place a container close to the pump to

collect any spillage.

30 Care and cleaning

6. Pull out the emergency emptying hose,

place it in the container and remove its
cap.

7. When no more water comes out, un-

screw the pump cover by turning it an­ti-clockwise and remove the filter. Use
pliers, if necessary. Always keep a rag
nearby to dry up any water spillages
when removing the cover.

Clean the filter under a tap, to remove
any traces of fluff.

8. Remove foreign bodies and fluff from

the filter seat and from the pump im­peller.

9. Check carefully whether the pump im-

peller rotates (it rotates jerkily). If it
doesn’t rotate, please contact your Serv­ice Centre.

10. Put the cap back on the emergency

emptying hose and place the latter back
in its seat.

11. Replace the filter into the pump by in-

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

12. Refit the flap and close the pump door.

WARNING!

Care and cleaning 31

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

sure the connection is tight.

5. Unscrew the hose from the machine.

Keep a towel nearby because some wa­ter may flow.

6. Clean the filter in the valve with a stiff

brush or with the piece of cloth.

32 Care and cleaning

7. Screw the hose back to the machine and

make sure the connection is tight.

8. Turn on the water tap.

Emergency emptying out

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

1. pull out the plug from the power socket;

2. close the water tap;

3. if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;

4. open the pump door;

5. 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. When the bowl
is full, put the cap back on the hose. Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water
stops flowing out;

6. clean the pump if necessary as previously described;

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

8. screw the pump again and close the door.

Frost precautions

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

1. close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet hose from the tap;

2. 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;

3. 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 ice forming and
consequently damage to the appliance.
When you use the machine again, make sure that the ambient temperature is above 0°C.

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.

What to do if… 35

The transit bolts and packing have not been removed.

• Check the correct installation of the appliance.

The support feet have not been adjusted

• Check the correct levelling of the appliance.

The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.

• Redistribute the laundry.

Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.

• Load more laundry.

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.

The drying time has not been selected.

• Select the drying time.

The water tap is not turned on. (E10)

• Open the water tap.

The drain filter is clogged. (E20)

• 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.

36 Technical data

Problem Possible cause/Solution

The laundry is full of differ­ent coloured fluff:

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.

If you are unable to identify or solve the problem,
contact our service centre. Before telephoning,
make a note of the model, serial number and pur­chase date of your machine: the Service Centre
will require this information.

Water drainage

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

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 stand­pipe, which should have an internal di­ameter of approximately 38 mm thus
ensuring there is an air break between
the drain hose and standpipe.

When discharging into a standpipe en­sure 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 be­low) 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.

loop

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.

In the interest of the environment

The appliance should be connected to the FOUL
drainage system, the water will then be taken to a
sewage works for treatment before being dis­charged safely into a river.
It is essential that these appliances are not con­nected to the surface water drainage system as
this water is discharged directly into a river or
stream and may cause pollution.
If you require any further advice please contact
your local water authority.
