8.
Remove the laundry.
• After the drying phase, thoroughly clean the empty drum, the gasket and the door with a wet rag.
FLUFF IN THE GARMENTS
During the WASHING AND/OR DRYING PHASE, certain types of fabric, as sponge­cloth, 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.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
ENGLISH
21
THE LAUNDRY LOAD
• Divide the laundry in: white, coloured, synthetics, delicates and wool.
• Obey the washing instructions that are on the laundry care labels.
• Do not wash together white and col­oured items.
• Some coloured items can discolour with the first wash. We recommend that you wash them separately for the first times.
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers, hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.
• Empty the pockets and unfold the items.
• Turn inside out multilayered fabrics, wool and items with painted illustra­tions.
• Remove hard stains.
• Wash with a special detergent heavy soil stains.
• Be careful with the curtains. Remove the hooks or put the curtains in a wash­ing bag or pillowcase.
• Do not wash in the appliance : – Laundry without hems or with cuts – Underwired bras. – Use a washing bag to wash small
items.
• A very small load can cause balance problems with the spin phase. If this oc­curs, adjust manually the items in the tub and start the spin phase again.
STUBBORN STAINS
For some stains, water and detergent is not sufficient. We recommend that you remove these stains before you put the items in the ap­pliance. Special stain removers are available. Use the special stain remover that is applica­ble to the type of stain and fabric.
DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES
• Only use detergents and additives spe­cially made for washing machines.
• Do not mix different types of deter­gents.
• To help the environment, do not use more than the correct quantity of deter­gent.
• Obey the instructions that you find on the on packaging of these products.
• Use the correct products for the type and colour of the fabric, the pro­gramme temperature and the level of soil.
• If you use liquid detergents, do not set the prewash phase.
• If your appliance has not the detergent dispenser with the flap device, add the liquid detergents with a dosing ball.
WATER HARDNESS
If the water hardness in your area is high or moderate, we recommend that you use a water softener for washing machines. In areas where the water hardness is soft it is not necessary to use a water softener. To know the water hardness in your area, contact your local water authority. Obey the instructions that you find on the packaging of the products. Equivalent scales measure the water hard­ness:
• German degrees (°dH).
• French degrees (°TH).
• mmol/l (millimol for each litre - interna­tional unit for the hardness of water).
• Clarke degrees.

Problem Possible cause/Solution
The drain hose is squashed or kinked.
• Check the drain hose connection. The drain filter is clogged.
The machine does not empty and/or does not spin:
• Clean the drain filter. You have set an option or a programme that ends with the water still in the tub or a that eliminates all the spinning phases.
• Set the draining or the spinning programme. The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.
• Redistribute the laundry.
Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent (creates too much foam) has been used.
• Reduce the detergent quantity or use another one. Check whether there are any leaks from one of the in­let hose fittings. It is not always easy to see this as the water runs down the hose; check to see if it is damp.
There is water on the floor:
• Check the water inlet hose connection. The drain or the inlet hose is damaged.
• Replace it with a new one. The cap on the emergency emptying hose has not been replaced or the filter has not been properly screwed in after cleaning action.
• Refit the cap on the emergency emptying hose or screw the filter fully in.
Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used.
• Increase the detergent quantity or use another one.

With the plastic hose guide.
ENGLISH
• On the edge of a sink.
• Make sure that the plastic guide cannot move when the appliance drains. At­tach the guide to the water tap or the wall.
• To a stand pipe with vent-hole. Refer to the illustration. Directly into a
drain pipe at a height of not less than 60 cm (23.6”) and not more than 100 cm (39.3”). The end of the drain hose must always be ventilated , i.e. the inner di­ameter of the drainpipe (min. 38 mm — min. 1.5”) must be larger than the ex­ternal diameter of the drain hose.
35
• If the end of the drain hose is this (see the drawing), you can push it directly in­to the stand pipe.
Page 36

Without the plastic hose guide.
• To a sink spigot. Refer to the illustration. Put the drain
hose in the spigot and tighten it with a clip. Make sure that the drain hose makes a loop to prevent that remaining particles go in the appliance from the sink.
• Directly to a built-in drain pipe in the room wall and tighten it with a clip.
You can extend the drain hose to maximum 400 cm. Contact the service centre for the other drain hose and the extension.
IN THE INTEREST OF THE ENVIRONMENT
• Connect the appliance to the FOUL sys­tem for the drain water. The sewage works keeps the drain water for the treatment before to release safely it in­to a river. Do not connect this appliance to the surface drain system of the water because it releases the drain water di­rectly into a river or stream without a treatment and this can cause of pollu­tion. Contact your local water authority to have more information.
