13. HINTS AND TIPS
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 tough 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.
• 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. ).
• 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.
• 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.
Do not spray stain remover on garments
near the appliance as it is corrosive to
the plastic of the cabinet.
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:
• 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,
ENGLISH 31
– 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
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 find out the water hardness in your
area, contact your local water authority.
Use the correct quantity of water
softener. Follow the instructions that you
find on the packaging of the product.
14. CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
14.1 Periodic cleaning schedule
Periodic cleaning helps to extend the
life of your appliance.
After each cycle, keep the door and the
detergent dispenser slightly ajar to get
air circulation and dry the humidity inside
the appliance: this will prevent mildew
and odours.
If the appliance is not used for a long
time: close the water tap and unplug the
appliance.

14.2 Removing foreign objects
Make sure that pockets are
empty and all loose
elements are tied up before
running your cycle. Refer to
'The laundry load' in 'Hints
and tips'.
Remove any foreign objects (such as
metal clip, buttons, coins, etc) that you
may find in the door seal, the filters and
the drum. Refer to 'Door seal with
double lip trap', 'Cleaning the drum',
'Cleaning the drain pump' and 'Cleaning
the inlet hose and the valve filter'

14.3 External cleaning
Clean the appliance with mild soap and
warm water only. Fully dry all the
surfaces.
Do not use a scouring pads or any
scratching material.
CAUTION!
Do not use alcohol, solvents
or chemical products.
14.4 Descaling
If the water hardness in your
area is high or moderate, we
recommend that you use a
water descaling product for
washing machines.
Regularly examine the drum to check for
limescale.
The regular detergents already contain
water softening agents, but we
recommend to run a cycle with empty
drum and a descaling product
occasionally.
Always follow the
instructions that you find on
the packaging of the
product.
14.5 Maintenance wash
The repeated and prolonged use of low
temperature programmes can cause
detergent deposits, fluff residues,
bacterial growth inside the drum and the
tub. This could generate bad odours and
mildew.
To eliminate these deposits and
hygienize the inner part of the appliance,
run a maintenance wash regularly (at
least once a month):
1. Remove all laundry from the drum.
2. Run a cotton programme with the
highest temperature with a small
quantity of powder detergent or, if
available, run the Machine Clean
programme.
14.6 Door seal
This appliance is designed with a self
cleaning draining system, allowing light
fluff fibers that fall off the clothes to be
drained out with the water. Regularly
examine the seal. Coins, buttons, other
small items can be recovered at the end
of the cycle.
CAUTION!
Do not clean the metal
surfaces with chlorine-based
detergent.

unwanted deposits.
Rust deposits in the drum may occur due
to rusting foreign body in the washing or
tap water containing iron.
Clean the drum with special products for
stainless steel.
Always follow the
instructions that you find on
the packaging of the
product.
Do not clean the drum with
acidic descaling products,
scouring products
containing chlorine or iron or
