STANDARD PROGRAMMES for the Energy Label consumption values.

According to regulation 1061/2010, these programmes are respectively the “standard
60° C cotton programme” and the “standard 40° C cotton programme” . They are the
most efficient programmes in terms of combined energy and water consumption for
washing normally soiled cotton laundry.
Set this programme to have a good washing results and decrease the energy
consumption. The time of the washing programme is extended. For cotton economy
programmes you can set only the Extra Quick duration.

The washing temperature of the washing phase may differ from the temperature
declared for the selected programme.

6.1 Woolmark Certificate

The wool wash cycle of this machine has
been approved by The Woolmark Com-

7. CONSUMPTION VALUES

At programme start the display shows the duration programme for the max­imum load capacity.
During the washing phase the programme duration is automatically calcula­ted and can greatly be reduced if the laundry load is lower than the maxi­mum load capacity (e.g. Cotton 60°C, maximum load capacity 7 kg, the pro­gramme duration exceeds 2 hours; real load 1 kg, the programme duration
don’t reach 1 hour).
When the appliance is calculating the real programme duration a dot blinks
in the display.

The data of this table are approximate. Different causes can change the da­ta: the quantity and type of laundry, the water and ambient temperature.

10.1 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.

10.2 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.

10.3 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.

10.4 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.

Do not use an extension hose if
the inlet hose is too short. Con­tact the service centre for the re­placement of the inlet hose.

Water-stop device

The inlet hose has a water stop device.
This device prevents water leaks in the

• 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 and not more than 100 cm. The
end of the drain hose must always be
ventilated , i.e. the inner diameter of
the drainpipe must be larger than the
external diameter of the drain hose.

• 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.

You can extend the drain hose to
maximum 400 cm. Contact the
service centre for the other drain
hose and the extension.
