5.5 Water drainage

The drain hose should be positioned at a
height of not less than 60 cm and not more
than 100 cm from the floor.

It is possible to connect the drain hose in different ways:

• Connect the drain hose to the spigot and
tighten it with a clamp.

• Position the hose directly to a built-in drain
pipe in the room wall and tighten it with a
clamp.

• Without the plastic hose guide, to a sink
spigot - put the drain hose in the spigot
and tighten it with a clamp.

• To a stand pipe with vent hole - insert the
drain hose directly into a drain pipe or
stand pipe.

• The drain hose can be bent into U shape
and put around the plastic guide. On the
edge of a sink - fasten the guide to the
water tap or to the wall.

Make sure that the drain hose makes a
loop to prevent particles going into the
appliance from the sink.

Make sure that the plastic guide cannot
move when the appliance drains and the
drain hose end is not immersed in the
water. There may be a return of dirty
water into the appliance. Buy accessories
from authorised supplier.

The end of the drain hose must always
be ventilated , i.e. the inner diameter of
the drain pipe (min. 38 mm - min. 1.5")
must be larger than the external diameter
of the drain hose.

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

13.1 The laundry load

• Divide the laundry into: white, coloured,
synthetics, delicates and wool.

• Follow the washing instructions on the
laundry care labels.

• Do not wash white and coloured items
together.

• Some coloured items can discolour with
the first wash. We recommend that you
wash them separately for the first couple
of times.

• Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and items
with printed illustrations inside out.

• Pre-treat stubborn stains.

• Wash stubborn stains with a special
detergent.

• Be careful with curtains. Remove the
hooks and put the curtains in a washing
bag or pillowcase.

• A very small load can cause balance
problems with the spin phase leading to
excessive vibration. If this occurs:

a. interrupt the programme and open the

door (refer to "Daily Use" chapter);

b. manually redistribute the load so that

the items are spaced evenly around
the tub;

c. press the Start/Pause button. The

spin phase continues.

• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,
hooks and poppers. Tie up belts, cords,
shoelaces, ribbons and any other loose
elements.

• Do not wash laundry without hems or with
cuts. Use a washing bag to wash small
and/or delicate items (e.g. underwired

bras, belts, tights, shoelaces, ribbons,
etc. ).

• Empty pockets and unfold the items.

13.2 Stubborn stains

For some stains, water and detergent is not
sufficient.

We recommend that you pre-treat 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.

13.3 Detergent type and quantity

The choice of detergent and use of correct
quantities not only affects your wash
performance, but also helps to avoid waste
and protect the environment:

ENGLISH 25

• Use only detergents and other treatments
specially made for washing machines.
First, follow these generic rules:

– powder detergents for all types of

fabric, excluding delicate. Prefer
powder detergents containing bleach
for whites and laundry sanitization,

– liquid detergents, preferably for low

temperature wash programmes (60 °C
max) for all types of fabric, or special
ones for woollens only.

• The choice and quantity of detergent will
depend on: type of fabric (delicates,
woollens, cottons, etc), the colour of
clothes, size of the load, degree of soiling,
wash temperature and hardness of the
water used.

• Follow the instructions that you find on
packaging of the detergents or other
treatments without exceeding the

indicated maximum level (

• Do not mix different types of detergents.

• Use less detergent if:

– you are washing a small load,
– the laundry is lightly soiled,
– there is large amounts of foam during

washing.

• When using detergent tabs or pods,
always put them inside the drum, not in
the detergent dispenser.

Insufficient detergent may cause:

• unsatisfactory washing results,

• the wash load to turn grey,

• greasy clothes,

• mould in the appliance.

Excessive detergent may cause:

• sudsing,

• reduced washing effect,

• inadequate rinsing,

• a greater impact for the environment.

).

13.4 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 prewash in order to save
detergent, water and time (the
environment is protected too!).

• Loading the appliance to the maximum

capacity indicated for each
programmes helps to reduce energy
and water consumption.

• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and
limited soiling can be removed; the
laundry can then be washed at a lower
temperature.

• To use the correct quantity of detergent,
refer to the quantity suggested by the
detergent producer and check the water
hardness of you domestic system. Refer
to 'Water hardness'.

• Set the maximum possible spin speed
for the selected washing programme

before drying your laundry in a tumble
dryer. This will save energy during drying!

13.5 Water hardness

If the water hardness in your area is high or
moderate, we recommend that you additive
for water softening. In areas where the water
hardness is soft it is not necessary to use
him.

To find out the water hardness in your area,
contact your local water authority.

Use the correct quantity of additive for water
softening. Follow the instructions that you find
on the packaging of the product.
