The cotton 60 °C economy and cotton 40 °C economy are the standard
cotton programmes for normally soiled cotton laundry. They are suitable
to clean normally soiled cotton laundry and they are the most efficient
programmes in terms of combined energy and water consumption for
washing that type of cotton laundry. The actual water temperature may
differ from the declared cycle temperature.

The consumption information shown in this chart is indicative. It can vary depending on the
quantity and the type of laundry, on the temperature of the water supply and on the
ambient temperature.

soil stains.

• Be careful with the curtains. Remove

the hooks or put the curtains in a

washing bag or pillowcase.

• Do not wash in the appliance :

the tub and start the spin phase
again.

STUBBORN STAINS

For some stains, water and detergent is
not sufficient.
We recommend that you remove 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.

DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES

• Only use detergents and additives
specially made for washing machines.

• Do not mix different types of deter­gents.

• To help the environment, do not use
more than the correct quantity of de­tergent.

• Obey the instructions that you find
on the on packaging of these prod­ucts.

• Use the correct products for the type
and colour of the fabric, the pro­gramme temperature and the level of
soil.

• If you use liquid detergents, do not
set the prewash phase.

• If your appliance has not the deter­gent dispenser with the flap device,
add the liquid detergents with a dos­ing ball.

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 know the water hardness in your
area, contact your local water authority.
Obey the instructions that you find on
the packaging of the products.
Equivalent scales measure the water
hardness:

• German degrees (°dH).

• French degrees (°TH).

• mmol/l (millimol for each litre - inter­national unit for the hardness of wa­ter).

• Clarke degrees.

• Use a correct quantity of powder de­tergent with biological properties.

After each wash, keep the door open
for a while to prevent mould and to let
unpleasant smells go out.

and disconnect the two parts.

2. Clean all the parts with water.

3. Assemble the two parts of the de-

tergent dispenser.

4. Put back the detergent dispenser.

POSITIONING AND LEVELLING

A

ENGLISH 25

1. Pull the lever from right to left.

2. When the position of the appliance

is right, put back the lever.

3. Install the appliance on a flat hard
floor.

4. Make sure that carpets do not stop
the air circulation below the appli­ance.

5. Make sure that the appliance does
not touch the wall or other units.

6. Loosen the feet to adjust the level.
Measure with a spirit level. Tighten
the pieces A.

7. A correct adjustment of the appli­ance level prevents the vibration,
noise and the movement of the ap­pliance when in operation.

• The appliance must be level and sta-

ble.

CAUTION!

Do not put cardboard, wood or
equivalent materials below the
appliance feet to adjust the lev­el.

26

THE INLET HOSE

1. Connect the hose to the appliance.

Loose the ring nut to set it in the
correct position.

90˚

2. Connect the water inlet hose to the
cold water tap with 3/4 thread.

CAUTION!

Make sure that there are no
leaks from the couplings.

Do not use an extension hose if
the inlet hose is too short. Con­tact the service centre for the re­placement of the inlet hose.

Water-stop device

A

WATER DRAINAGE

There are different procedures to con­nect the drain hose:

The inlet hose has a water stop device.
This device prevents water leaks in the
hose because of its natural ageing. The
red sector in the window «A» shows this
fault .
If this occur, close the water tap and
contact the service centre to replace
the hose.

With the plastic hose guide.

ENGLISH 27

• On the edge of a sink.

• Make sure that the plastic guide can-

not move when the appliance drains.
Attach the guide to the water tap or
the wall.

• To a stand pipe with vent-hole.

Refer to the illustration. Directly into
a drain pipe at a height of not less
than 70 cm and not more than 100
cm. The end of the drain hose must
always be ventilated , i.e. the inner
diameter of the drainpipe must be
larger than the external diameter of
the drain hose.

Without the plastic hose guide.

•To a sink spigot.

Refer to the illustration. Put the drain
hose in the spigot and tighten it with
a clip. Make sure that the drain hose
makes a loop to prevent that remain­ing particles go in the appliance from
the sink.

28

• Directly to a built-in drain pipe in the

room wall and tighten it with a clip.

You can extend the drain hose
to maximum 400 cm. Contact
the service centre for the other
drain hose and the extension.
