HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
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.

The machine vibrates or
is noisy:
• 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
Spinning starts late or
the machine does not
spin:
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.
• The laundry load is perhaps to little, add more
items, redistribute the load manually and then select the spinning programme.
The machine is fitted with a type of motor which

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.
31
• If the end of the drain hose is this (see
the drawing), you can push it directly into the stand pipe.

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.
