4. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

4.1 Special features

Your new washing machine meets all modern requirements for an effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy and detergent consumption and proper care of fabric.

• The interactive touch screen display makes the setting and the use of the

appliance more immediate and agreeable.

• The SoftWater Technology acts as water softener and removes harsh minerals from the inlet water and supplies soft water for the washing. Wash after wash, fabric stiffness, shrinkage and colour fading are prevented.

Page 11

1 2 3

11 12

ENGLISH 11

• The Oko-Mix technology has been designed to protect the fabric fibres thanks to different pre-mixing phases that dissolves first the detergent and then fabric softener in the water before they are distributed in the laundry. So every fibre is reached and cared for.

• Thanks to the Weight Sensors the appliance can detect the weight of your load and advise on how much detergent you need to achieve the best results without waste.

• The ProSense technology adjusts automatically the programme duration to the laundry in the drum to achieve perfect washing results in the minimum possible time.

4.2 Appliance overview

• The steam has a quick and easy way to refresh the clothes. The gentle steam programmes remove odours and reduce creases in dry fabrics so they need little ironing. The Plus Steam option, finishes every cycle with gentle steam that relaxes the fibres and reduces fabric creasing. Ironing will be easier!

• The Stains option pre-treats stubborn stains optimizing the effectiveness of the stain remover.

• Thanks to the Soft Plus option, the fabric softener is uniformly spread out in the laundry and deeply penetrates the fabric fibres favouring a perfect softness.

When selecting a prewash phase, put the detergent/ additive in a dosing ball inside the drum.

After a washing cycle, if necessary, remove any detergent residue from the detergent dispenser.

5. THE WATER SOFTENER (SOFTWATER TECHNOLOGY)

5.1 Introduction

The water contains harsh minerals. The higher the content of these minerals the harder the water is.

Hard water can reduce the effectiveness of the detergent, reduce the softness of fabrics and contribute towards shrinkage and colour fading.

This appliance is equipped with a water softener able to provide the right degree

of water softening to preserve the fabric integrity, colour brightness and ensuring good wash performances at low temperature.

The water softener should be adjusted according to the water hardness of your inlet water. A correct setting allows to achieve the best washing results and the maximum garments protection.

To set the water softener correctly, please refer to 'How to set the water hardness level'.

The first time you turn the appliance on, the touch screen proposes different settings: one on this is water hardness level.

5.2 How to set the water hardness level

The appliance allows you to chose between 7 levels corresponding to 7 different ranges of water hardness.

Depending on the country, the water hardness is expressed in equivalent scales: e.g. French degrees (°f), German degrees (°d), English degrees (°e), mmol/l and ppm.

If necessary, please contact your local water authority to check the water hardness in your area.

Check in the "Water hardness levels" table which is the proper level.

To set the water hardness level:

1. Press the 开/关 button for a few

seconds to activate the appliance.

2. Wait until the programme screen appears and scroll up and down the list to find Settings.

4. Scroll the list up and down to find Water Hardness.

5. Tap on the Water Hardness bar.

6. Scroll the level list right and left to

chose the proper level.

7. Tap on the Water Hardness bar to exit and to confirm the chosen level.

8. Scroll up and down the setting list to find the Water Softener bar and tap on it to enter.

3. Tap on to enter the setting list.

9. Scroll the bar right and left to chose:

• Wash: the water softener acts

during washing phase only. This setting satisfies most of the use condition.

• Wash & Rinse: if the inlet water is

particularly hard (6 and 7 levels), we suggest to set the water softener also during rinsing phase to preserve the fabric softness.

This setting increases the salt consumption.

• OFF: to deactivate the water

softener.

Salt

ENGLISH 15

Regularly check if there is enough salt.

The compartment

can contain about 600 gr of salt that are sufficient for about 20 - 300 washing cycles (or 4 - 70 weeks) depending on the set water hardness level and whether the water softener is activated during wash phase only. If the water softener is activated also during rinse phase, the salt refilling lasts 5 - 80 washing cycles (or 1 - 18 weeks) depending on the set water hardness level. Refer to 'How to set the water hardness level'.

The display shows the message Top up salt at the end of a cycle when

compartment needs to be refilled with salt, even if a little salt still remains.

WARNING!

Pour the salt in the

compartment

only.

WARNING!

Do not put anything but salt

in the compartment

. If any other detergent/additive is poured inadvertently in this compartment, please refer to 'Eliminating detergent or other additives from salt compartment' in 'Troubleshooting' chapter.

Only use special salt for dishwasher and/or washing machine. The proper salt can be ordered form the web site! Other types of salts are less efficient and over time could damage the water softener technology permanently. Do

not use fine salt!

The appliance works normally even without salt, but without exploiting its full potential. If you use the appliance without salt for a long time, once the salt is finally refilled, the water softener function is completely restored after a few long washing cycles.

Programme Programme description

Machine Clean Maintenance cycle with hot water to clean and freshen the

drum and to remove residue that may cause odour. For the best result use this cycle once a month. Before running this cycle, remove all items from the drum. Pour a cup of chlorine bleach or a washing machine cleaner in the washing phase compartment. DO NOT use both together.

After the drum cleaning, run a further rinse cycle with empty drum and no detergent to remove any residue of bleach.

Run this programme especially when the message Cleaning cycle recommended pops up. If the cleaning programme is postponed, the message keeps on popping up during next uses until it is run.

During this cycle the drum rotates slowly to ensure a gentle wash. It can seem that the drum doesn't

rotate or doesn't rotate properly, but this is normal for this programme.

If you set a Steam programme with dried laundry, at the end of the cycle the laundry can be humid.

Line dry the items for about 10 minutes.

Steam programme doesn't remove particularly intense odour.

14. HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

14.1 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.

• Button up pillowcases, close zippers, hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.

• Empty pockets and unfold.

• Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and items with printed illustrations inside out.

• Pre-treat tough stains.

• Wash heavy soil 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, 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);

2. Tap on OK to return to factory settings or on Cancel to keep the current settings.

b. manually redistribute the load so

that the items are spaced evenly around the tub;

c. press the 启动/暂停 button. The

spin phase continues.

14.2 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.

14.3 Detergents and other

treatments

• Only use detergents and other

treatments specially made for washing machines:

– powder detergents for all types of

fabric, excluding delicate. Prefer powder detergents containing bleach for whites and laundry sanitization

– liquid detergents, preferably for

low temperature wash programmes (60 °C max) for all types of fabric, or special ones for woollens only.

• Do not mix different types of

detergents.

• To help the environment, do not use

more than the recommended quantity of detergent.

• Follow the instructions that you find

on packaging of the detergents or

Page 39

ENGLISH 39

other treatments without exceeding

the indicated maximum level ( ).

• Use the recommended detergents for the type and colour of the fabric, the programme temperature and the level of soil.

14.4 Ecological hints

• Set a programme without the prewash phase to wash laundry with normal soil.

15. CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

15.1 External cleaning

Clean the appliance with mild soap and warm water only. Fully dry all the surfaces.

CAUTION!

Do not use alcohol, solvents or chemical products.

CAUTION!

Do not clean the metal surfaces with chlorine-based detergent.

15.2 Descaling

If you use the salt regularly to activate the SoftWater Technology, the descaling procedure described in this paragraph is not necessary.

If the water hardness in your area is high or moderate, we recommend that you use a water descaling product for washing machines.

• Always start a washing programme with the maximum load of laundry allowed.

• If you pre-treat the stains, you can use a stain remover when you set a programme with a low temperature.

• To use the correct quantity of detergent, refer to the quantity suggested by the detergent producer.

Always follow the instructions that you find on the packaging of the product.

15.3 Maintenance wash

The repeated and prolonged use of low temperature and short programmes can cause detergent deposits, fluff residues and 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 after about 60 cycles, especially when the message Cleaning cycle recommended pops up on the display:

1. Remove all laundry from the drum.

2. Run the Machine Clean programme

as described in the ‘Programmes’ chapter.

If the cleaning programme is postponed, the message keeps on popping up during next uses until it is run.

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.
