Helpful hints and tips
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.
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
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
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.

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.
1) do not use acetone on artificial silk
Drying Hints
22
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 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.
Drying Hints
Preparing the drying cycle
As a dryer, the appliance works on the condensation principle.
Therefore, the water tap must be open and the drain hose must drain water into a
sink or into the drain pipe, even during the drying cycle.
Attention!
Before starting the drying programme, reduce the loads of washed laundry, in order to
obtain good performances.
Laundry not suitable for drying
• Particularly delicate items such as synthetic curtains, woollen and silk, garments with
metal inserts, nylon stockings, bulky garments such as anoraks, bed covers, quilts, sleep-
ing bags and duvets must not be machine dried.
Care and cleaning
• Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy items such as towels as these can
attract the fluff.
• Remove the laundry when the appliance has finished drying.
• To avoid a static charge when drying is completed, use either a fabric softener when you
are washing the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for tumble dryers.
• Garments padded with foam-rubber or materials similar to foam-rubber must not be
machine dried; they represent a fire hazard.
• Also, fabrics containing residue of setting lotions or hair sprays, nail solvents or similar
solutions must not be machine dried in order to avoid the formation of harmful vapours.
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 re-circulation 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 .
Garment labels
For drying, follow the indications given on the manufacturer’s labels:
= May be tumble dried
•
= Drying at high temperature
•
= Drying at reduced temperature
•
= Do not tumble dry.
•
Drying cycle duration
The drying time may vary depending on:
• speed of the final spin
• dryness degree required (iron dry, store dry)
• type of laundry
• weight of the load size .
The average drying time for a timed drying are indicated in the «Drying programmes»
chapter. The experience will help you to dry your laundry in a more suitable way, according
to the different fabrics. Take note of the duration drying time of the already performed
cycles.
23
Additional drying
If the laundry is still damp at the end of the drying programme, select a short drying cycle
again.
WARNING!
Do not over dry the laundry in order to avoid creasing of fabrics or garment’s
shrinking.
Care and cleaning
You must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can carry out
any cleaning or maintenance work.
Care and cleaning
24
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.
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.
Care and cleaning
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.
Door seal
Check from time to time the door seal and eliminate eventual possible objects that could be trapped in the fold.
25
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.
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
cover.
Care and cleaning
26
6. When no more water comes out, un-
screw 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 emp-
tying hose and place the latter back in
its seat.
9. Screw the pump fully in.
10. Close the pump door.
WARNING!
Care and cleaning
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.
Cleaning the water inlet filters
If the appliance doesn't fill, takes long to fill water, the starting button blinks yellow or the
display (if available) shows the relevant alarm (see chapter "What to do if..." for more details),
check if the water inlet filters are blocked .
To clean the water inlet filters:
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. Make
sure the connection is tight.
27
5. Unscrew the hose from the machine. Keep
a rug nearby because some water may
flow.
6. Clean the filter in the valve with a stiff
brush or with the piece of cloth.
What to do if…
28
7. Screw the hose back to the machine and
make sure the connection is tight.
8. Turn on the water tap.
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 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. When 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.

• 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.
• The laundry load is perhaps to little, add more
items, redistribute the load manually and
then select the spinning programme.
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.

Water inlet
An inlet hose is supplied and can be found inside the machine drum.
This appliance must be connected to a cold water supply.
Do not use the hose from your previous machine to connect to the water supply.
1. Open the porthole and extract the inlet
hose.
2. Connect the hose with the angled con-
nection 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.
3. Set the hose correctly by loosening the
ring nut. After positioning the inlet hose,
be sure to tighten the ring nut again to
prevent leaks.
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".
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.
Water drainage
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:
1.
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.
2.
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.

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.
