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.
Care and cleaning
16
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.
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.
Care and cleaning
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 eliminate eventual possible objects that could be trapped in the fold.
Drain pump
The pump should be inspected regularly and particularly 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:
1. Disconnect the appliance.
2. If necessary wait until the water has cooled down.
3. Open the pump door.
17
4. Place a container close to the pump to collect any spillage.

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.

Problem Possible cause/Solution
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 hap-
Spinning starts late or the machine does not
spin:
The machine makes an unusual noise:
No water is visible in the drum:
pen several times before the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can resume. If, after
some minutes, the laundry is still not evenly
distributed in the drum, the machine will not
spin.
• Redistribute 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.
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.

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.
Before placing it on small tiles, apply a rubber
coating.
Never try to correct any unevenness in the floor
by putting pieces of wood, cardboard or similar
materials under the machine.
If it is impossible to avoid positioning the machine
next to a gas cooker or coalburning stove, an insulating panel covered with aluminium foil on the
side facing the cooker or stove, must be inserted
between the two appliances.
The machine must not be installed in rooms where the temperature can drop below 0°C.
The water inlet hose and the drain hose must not be kinked.
Installation
Please ensure that when the appliance is installed, it is easily accessible for the engineer in
the event of a breakdown.
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
This appliance must be connected to a cold water supply.
1. Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4”
thread. Always use the hose supplied with
the appliance.
Do not use the hose from your previous machine to connect to the water
supply.
2. The other end of the inlet hose which
connects to the machine can be turned as
showed in the picture.
Do not place the inlet hose downwards. Angle the hose to the left or
right depending on the position of
your water tap.
3. Set the hose correctly by loosening the
ring nut. After positioning the inlet hose,
be sure to tighten the ring nut again to
prevent 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.
Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulations requirements. A minimum water pressure of 0.05 MPa is required for safe operation of the appliance.
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:
1.
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.
Electrical connection
28
This could be done by tying it to the tap
with a piece of string or attaching it to the
wall.
2.

must be above the trap so that the bend
is at least 60 cm above the ground.
3.
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.
The drain hose must not be kinked.
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 Centre.

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.
