Preparing the wash cycle

Preparing the wash cycle

Sorting out the laundry

Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label and the manufacturer’s
washing instructions. Sort the laundry as follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics,
delicates, woollens.

Temperatures

31

95° or 90°

60°/50°

40°-30°- Cold

for normally soiled white cottons and linen (e.g. tea cloths,
towels, tablecloths, sheets...).

for normally soiled, colour fast garments (e.g. shirts, night

dresses, pyjamas....) in linen, cotton or synthetic fibres and

for lightly soiled white cotton (e.g. underwear).
for delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed laundry including

synthetic fibres and woollens bearing the label «pure new
wool, machine washable, non-shrink».

Before loading the laundry

Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites may lose their “whiteness” in
the wash.

New coloured items may run in the first wash; they should therefore be washed
separately the first time.

Make sure that no metal objects are left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips,
safety pins, pins).

Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or
long tapes.

Remove persistent stains before washing.
Rub particularly soiled areas with a special detergent or detergent paste.
Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or tie them up in a bag or net.

Preparing the wash cycle

32

Maximum loads

Recommended loads are indicated in the washing programme charts.
General rules:

Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed;
Synthetics: drum no more than half full

;

Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more than one third full.
Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient use of water and energy.
For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.

Laundry weights

The following weights are indicative:

100 gmen’s underpants

Removing stains

Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and detergent. It is therefore
advisable to treat them prior to washing.

Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried stains, soak overnight in
water with a special detergent then rub in the soap and water.

Oil based paint::moisten with benzine stain remover, lay the garment on a soft

cloth and dab the stain; treat several times.
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay the garment on a soft

surface and dab the stain with the fingertips and a cotton cloth.

Preparing the wash cycle

Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust removing product used cold. Be
careful with rust stains which are not recent since the cellulose structure will
already have been damaged and the fabric tends to hole.

Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whites and fast coloureds only).
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and fast coloureds only).
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone (*), lay the garment on a soft

cloth and dab the stain.
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat stains with methylated

spirits. Treat any residual marks with bleach.
Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and treat with acetic or citric acid,

then rinse. Treat any residual marks with bleach.
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric first with acetone (*), then

with acetic acid; treat any residual marks on white fabrics with bleach and then
rinse thoroughly.

Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated spirits or benzine, then rub
with detergent paste.

(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk.

Detergents and additives

Good washing results also depend on the choice of detergent and use of the
correct quantities to avoid waste and protect the environment.

Although biodegradable, detergents contain substances which, in large
quantities, can upset the delicate balance of nature.

The choice of detergent will depend on the type of fabric (delicates, woollens,
cottons, etc.), the colour, washing temperature and degree of soiling.

All commonly available washing machine detergents may be used in this
appliance:

powder detergents for all types of fabric,
powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C max) and woollens,
liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature wash programmes (60°C

max) for all types of fabric, or special for woollens only.

The detergent and any additives must be placed in the appropriate
compartments of the dispenser drawer before starting the wash programme.

If using concentrated powder or liquid detergents, a programme without

prewash must be selected.

33

Preparing the wash cycle

34

The washing machine incorporates a recirculation system which allows an
optimal use of the concentrated detergent.

Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer compartment marked just
before starting the programme.

Any fabric softener or starching additives must be poured into the compartment
marked before starting the wash programme.

Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations on quantities to use and do

not exceed the «MAX» mark in the detergent dispenser drawer.

Quantity of detergent to be used

The type and quantity of detergent will depend on the type of fabric, load size,
degree of soiling and hardness of the water used.

Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on quantities to use.
Use less detergent if:

• you are washing a small load,

• the laundry is lightly soiled,

• large amounts of foam form during washing.Pour le traitement des taches
avant le cycle de lavage, conformez-vous aux doses et aux instructions
préconisées par le fabricant du produit. Si vous utilisez du produit de lavage
pour traiter les taches, vous devez démarrer immédiatement le cycle de
lavage.

Degrees of water hardness

Water hardness is classified in so-called “degrees” of hardness. Information on
hardness of the water in your area can be obtained from the relevant water
supply company, or from your local authority.

Note: A water softener must be added when water has a medium-high degree
of hardness (from degree of hardness II). Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
The quantity of detergent can then always be adjusted to degree of hardness I (=
soft).

Care and cleaning

You must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can
carry out any cleaning or maintenance work.

Descaling

The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good idea to periodically use a
water softening powder in the machine. Do this separately from any laundry
washing, and according to the softening powder manufacturer's instructions.

This will help to prevent the formation of lime deposits.

After each wash

Leave the door open for a while. This helps to prevent mould and stagnant smells
forming inside the appliance. Keeping the door open after a wash will also help
to preserve the door seal.

Maintenance wash

With the use of low temperature washes it is possible to get a build up of
residues inside the drum.

We recommend that a maintenance wash be performed on a regular basis.
To run a maintenance wash:

• The drum should be empty of laundry.

• Select the hottest cotton wash programme.

• Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a powder with biological
properties

.

External cleaning

Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and water only, and then
dry thoroughly.
Important: do not use methylated spirits, solvents or similar products to clean
the cabinet.

Detergent dispenser drawer

The detergent dispenser drawer should be
cleaned regularly.

1. Remove the detergent dispenser drawer

by pulling it firmly.

Care and cleaning

2. Remove the conditioner insert from the

middle compartment.

3. Clean all parts with water.

4. Put the conditioner insert in as far as it

will go, so that it is firmly in place.

5. Clean all parts of the washing ma-

chine, especially the nozzles in the top of the washing-in chamber, with a
brush.

6. Insert the detergent dispenser drawer in the guide rails and push it in.

Drain pump

The pump should be inspected regularly and particularly if

• the machine does not empty and/or spin

• the machine makes an unusual noise during draining due to objects such as
safety pins, coins etc. blocking the pump.

Proceed as follows:

1. Disconnect the appliance.

2. If necessary wait until the water has

cooled down.

3. Open the pump door.

37

4. Place a container close to the pump to

collect any spillage.

5. Release the emergency emptying hose,

place it in the container and remove its
cap.

Care and cleaning

38

6. When no more water comes out,

unscrew the pump and remove it.
Always keep a rag nearby to dry up
spillage of water when removing the
pump.

7. Remove any objects from the pump

impeller by rotating it.

8. Put the cap back on the emergency

emptying hose and place the latter
back in its seat.

9. Screw the pump fully in.

10. Close the pump door.
Warning!

When the appliance is in use and
depending on the programme selected
there can be hot water in the pump. Never
remove the pump cover during a wash
cycle, always wait until the appliance has
finished the cycle, and is empty. When
replacing the cover, ensure it is securely
retightened so as to stop leaks and young
children being able to remove it.

Water inlet filter

If you notice that the machine is taking longer
to fill, check that the filter in the water inlet
hose is not blocked.

1. Turn off the water tap.

2. Unscrew the hose from the tap.

3. Clean the filter in the hose with a stiff

brush.

4. Screw the hose back onto the tap.

Care and cleaning

Frost precautions

If the machine is installed in a place where the temperature could drop below
0°C, proceed as follows:

1. Close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet hose from the tap.

2. Place the end of the emergency emptying hose and that of the inlet hose in a

bowl placed on the floor and let water drain out.

3. Screw the water inlet hose back on and reposition the emergency emptying

hose after having put the cap on again

By doing this, any water remaining in the machine is removed, avoiding ice
forming and consequently damage to the appliance.

When you use the machine again, make sure that the ambient temperature is
above 0°C.

.

Emergency emptying out

If the water is not discharged, proceed as follows to empty out the machine:

1. pull out the plug from the power socket;

2. close the water tap;

3. if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;

4. open the the pump door;

5. place a bowl on the floor and place the end of the emergency emptying hose

into the bowl. Remove its cap. The water should drain by gravity into the
bowl. Whe the bowl is full, put the cap back on the hose. Empty the bowl.
Repeat the procedure until water stops flowing out;

6. clean the pump if necessary as previously described;

7. replace the emergency emptying hose in its seat after having plugged it;

8. screw the pump again and close the door.

Something not working

42

Problem Possible cause/Solution

There is water on the floor:

Unsatisfactory washing results:

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.

• Check the water inlet hose connection.

The drain hose is damaged.

• Change it with a new one.

The cap on the emergency emptying hose has not
been replaced after cleaning the pump.

• Put the cap back on the emergency emptying and

place the latter back in its seat.

Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been
used.

• Increase the detergent quantity or use another one.

Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to
washing.

• Use commercial products to treat the stubborn

stains

.

The correct temperature was not selected.

• Check if you have selected the correct temperature.

Excessive laundry load.

• Introduce into the drum less laundry.

.

The door will not open:

The programme is still running.

• Wait the end of washing cycle.

The door lock has not been released.

• Wait some minutes.

There is water in the drum.

• Select drain or spin programme to empty out the

water.

Problem Possible cause/Solution

The machine vibrates or is noisy:

Spinning starts late or the machine
does not spin:

Something not working

The transit bolts and packing have not been removed.

• Check the correct installation of the appliance.

The support feet have not been adjusted

• 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
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.

• Redistribute the laundry.

43

The machine makes an unusual
noise

No water is visible in the drum:

The machine is fitted with a type of motor which
makes an unusual noise compared with other
traditional motors. This new motor ensures a softer
start and more even distribution of the laundry in the
drum when spinning, as well as increased stability of
the machine.

Machines based on modern technology operate very
economically using very little water without affecting
performance.

Positioning and levelling

Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
Make sure that air circulation around the machine is

not impeded by carpets, rugs etc.
Before placing it on small tiles, apply a rubber

coating.
Never try to correct any unevenness in the floor by

putting pieces of wood, cardboard or similar
materials under the machine.

If it is impossible to avoid positioning the machine next to a gas cooker or coal­burning stove, an insulating panel covered with aluminium foil on the side facing
the cooker or stove, must be inserted between the two appliances.

The machine must not be installed in rooms where the temperature can drop
below 0.

The water inlet hose and the drain hose must not be kinked.
Please ensure that when the appliance is installed, it is easily accessible for the

engineer in the event of a breakdown.
Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in or out. Never place cardboard,

wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness
in the floor.

Automatic foot: The rear foot on the left-hand
side of your washing machine is built as a shock
absorbing foot, which is why the appliance gives in
the back left-hand corner if put under load. The
automatic foot guarantees that the appliance does
not move even at high spin speeds. Basically the
automatic foot does not need to be set.

Water inlet

An inlet hose is supplied and can be found inside the machine drum.

Do not use the hose from your previous
machine to connect to the water supply.

This appliance must be connected to a cold
water supply.

1. Open the porthole and extract the inlet hose.

2. Connect the hose with the angled connection to

the machine.

Do not place the inlet hose downwards. Angle the hose to the left or
right depending on the position of your water tap.

loosening the ring nut.

After positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten the ring nut again to prevent leaks.

3. Set the hose correctly by

4. Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4” thread. Always use the hose supplied with
the appliance.

The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too short and you do not wish to
move the tap, you will have to purchase a new, longer hose specially designed
for this type of use.

Water-stop device

The inlet hose is provided with a water stop device,
which protects against damage caused by water leaks in
the hose which could develop due to natural ageing of
the hose. This fault is shown by a red sector in the
window “AA”. Should this occur, turn the water tap off
and refer to your Service Centre to replace the hose.

Water drainage

The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:

Hooked over the edge of a sink using the
plastic hose guide supplied with the machine.

In this case, make sure the end cannot come
unhooked when the machine is emptying.

This could be done by tying it to the tap with a piece
of string or attaching it to the wall.

In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must be
above the trap so that the bend is at least 60 cm above
the ground.

Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less than 60 cm and not more
than 90 cm.

The end of the drain hose must always be ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of
the drain pipe must be larger than the outside diameter of the drain hose.

The drain hose must not be kinked.

Installation

P1118

Important!

The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4 metres. An additional drain hose and
joining piece is available from your local Service Centre.

Electrical connection

This machine is designed to operate on a 220-230 V, single-phase,
50 Hz supply.

Check that your domestic electrical installation can take the maximum load
required (2.2 kW), also taking into account any other appliances in use.

Connect the machine to an earthed socket.

51

The manufacturer does not accept any responsibility for damage or
injury through failure to comply with the above safety precaution.

Permanent connection

In the case of a permanent connection it is necessary that you install a double pole
switch between the appliance and the electricity supply (mains), with a minimum
gap of 3 mm between the switch contacts and of a type suitable for the required
load in compliance with the current electrical regulations.

The switch must not break the yellow and green earth cable at any point.
This operation must be performed by a qualified electrician.

The power supply cable must be easily accessible after installing the
machine.

Should the appliance power supply cable need to be replaced, this must
be carried out by a Service Centre.

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 prewashing in order to save

detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).

• The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded.

• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the

laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.

• Measure out detergent according to the water hardness, the degree of soiling

and the quantity of laundry being washed.
