HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

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.

Page 22

Helpful hints and tips

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. 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.

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. 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

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 tic 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.

, lay the garment on a soft cloth and

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.

1) do not use acetone on artificial silk

Page 23

Care and cleaning

The detergent and any additives must be placed in the appropriate compartments of the dispenser drawer before starting the wash programme. If using liquid detergents, a programme without prewash must be selected. Your appliance incorporates a recirculation system which allows an optimal use of the concentrated detergent. 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.

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. If the water hardness degree is medium or high we suggest you to add a water softener following always the manufacturer’s instructions. When the degree of hardness is soft, readjust the quantity of the detergent.

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.

Page 24

Care and cleaning

• 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.

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.

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 machine,

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.

Washing drum

Rust deposits in the drum may occur due to rusting foreign bodies in the washing or tap water containing iron.

Do not clean the drum with acidic descaling agents, scouring agents containing chlorine or iron or steel wool.

1. Remove any rust deposits on the drum with a cleaning agent for stainless steel.

2. Run a washing cycle without any washing to clean off any cleaning agent residues.

Programme: Short Cotton Programme at maximum temperature and add approx. 1/4 measuring cup of detergent.

Page 25

Care and cleaning

Door seal

Check from time to time the door seal and objects that could be trapped in the fold.

Drain pump

The pump should be inspected regularly and particularly if:

• the appliance does not empty and/or spin;

• the appliance makes an unusual noise during draining due to objects such as safety

pins, coins etc. blocking the pump;

• a problem with water draining is detected (see chapter “What to do if...” for more details).

WARNING!

Before opening the pump door, switch the appliance off remove the mains plug from the socket.

Proceed as follows:

1. Unplug the appliance.

2. If necessary wait until the water has cooled down.

3. Open the pump door.

4. Pull flap forward to remove.

5. Place a container close to the pump to

collect any spillage.

6. Pull out the emergency emptying hose,

place it in the container and remove its cap.

Page 26

Care and cleaning

7. When no more water comes out, un-

screw the pump cover by turning it anticlockwise and remove the filter. Use pliers, if necessary. Always keep a rag nearby to dry up any water spillages when removing the cover.

Clean the filter under a tap, to remove any traces of fluff.

8. Remove foreign bodies and fluff from

the filter seat and from the pump impeller.

9. Check carefully whether the pump im-

peller rotates (it rotates jerkily). If it doesn’t rotate, please contact your Service Centre.

10. Put the cap back on the emergency emp-

tying hose and place the latter back in its seat.

11. Replace the filter into the pump by in-

serting it correctly into the special guides. Screw the pump cover firmly by turning it clockwise.

12. Refit the flap and 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 refitting the pump cover, ensure it is securely retightened so as to stop leaks and young children being able to remove it.

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. Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulations requirements. Check the minimum water pressure required for safe operation of the appliance in the chapter "Technical Data".

Page 37

Installation

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 «A» . Should this occur, turn the water tap off and refer to your Service Centre to replace the hose.

WARNING! Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulations’ requirements. The appliance must be connected to a cold water supply.

A minimum water pressure of 0.05 MPa (0.5 bar) is required for safe operation of the appliance. If you cannot make the cold water connection direct from the rising mains, you may be able to operate the appliance from your cold water storage system. There should be a minimum vertical distance of 5.02 m (16.5 ft) between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the water storage tank.

Water drainage

This appliance is designed to be permanently plumbed into your home's drainage system using one of the following methods.

Into a drainage standpipe

Firstly form a hook in the end of the

drain hose using the “U” piece” supplied.

Place the drain hose into your standpipe,

which should have an internal diameter

of approximately 38 mm thus ensuring

there is an air break between the drain

hose and standpipe.

38 mm (11.2”)

30 cm(12”)

Page 38

Installation

When discharging into a standpipe en-

sure that the top of the standpipe is no

more than 90 cm (35.4'') and no less

than 60 cm (23.6'') above floor level.

The drain hose may be extended to a max-

imum of 4 metres. An additional drain

hose and joining piece is available from

your local Service Force Centre. The joining piece must have an internal diameter of

18 mm.

If your drain hose looks like this (see be-

low) you do not require the “U” piece”.

Just push the hose firmly in to the stand-

pipe.

Onto a sink outlet spigot.

If the outlet spigot has not been used be-

fore, remove any blanking plug that may

be in place.

Push the drain hose onto the spigot and

secure with a clip, ensure a loop is

formed in the drain hose (see diagram)

to prevent waste from the sink entering

the appliance. If you intend to drain the hose from the machine into a sink, make sure that the sink is

loop

empty and the plug hole is not blocked. Use the plastic “U - Piece” supplied.

Before connecting up the machine to new pipework or to pipework that has not been used for some time, run off a reasonable amount of water to flush out any debris that may have collected in the pipes.

Page 39

In the interest of the environment

The appliance should be connected to the FOUL drainage system, the water will then be taken to a sewage works for treatment before being discharged safely into a river. It is essential that these appliances are not connected to the surface water drainage system as this water is discharged directly into a river or stream and may cause pollution. If you require any further advice please contact your local water authority.
