BEFORE USING THE WASHING MACHINE

1.Removing the packaging and inspection

• After unpacking, make sure that the washing

machine is undamaged. If in doubt, do not use the washing machine. Contact After-Sales Service or your local retailer.

• Check that the accessories and supplied parts are

all present.

• Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags,

polystyrene parts, etc.) out of reach of children, as they are potentially dangerous.

2.Remove the transport bolts

• The washing machine is fitted with transport

bolts to avoid any possible damage to the interior during transport. Before using the machine, it is imperative that the transport bolts are removed.

• After their removal, cover the openings with the

4 enclosed plastic caps.

3.Install the washing machine

• Remove the protective film from the control panel.

• Move the appliance without lifting it by the worktop.

• Install the appliance on a solid and level floor

surface, preferably in a corner of the room.

• Make sure that all four feet are stable and resting

on the floor and then check that the washing machine is perfectly level (use a spirit level).

4.Water inlet

• Connect the water supply inlet hose in

accordance with the regulations of your local water company.

• Water inlet: Cold water only

(if no other information on your programme chart)

• Water tap: 3/4” threaded hose

connector

• Water pressure

(flow pressure): 100-1000 kPa (1-10 bar).

• Only use a new inlet hose for connecting the

washing machine to the water supply. Used hoses must not be employed anymore

5.Drain

• Connect the drain hose to the siphon or hook it

over the edge of a sink by means of the “U” bend supplied.

• If the washing machine is connected to an

integrated drainage system, ensure the latter is equipped with a vent to avoid simultaneous loading and draining of water (siphoning effect).

6.Electrical connection

• Electrical connections must be carried out by a

qualified technician in compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions and current standard safety regulations.

• Data regarding voltage, power consumption and

protection requirements is given on the inside of the door.

• The appliance must be connected to the mains by

means of a socket with an earth connection in accordance with current regulations. The washing machine must be earthed by law. The manufacturer declines all liability for damage to property or injury to persons or animals due to non-compliance with the directions given above.

• Do not use extension leads or multiple sockets.

• Before any maintenance on the washing machine

disconnect it from the mains supply.

• After installation, access to the mains plug or to

disconnection from mains supply must be ensured at all times via a double-pole switch.

• Do not operate the washing machine if it has

been damaged during transport. Inform the After-Sales Service.

• Mains cable replacement is only to be carried out

by After-Sales Service.

• The appliance must only be used in the

household for the prescribed uses.

DOOR

To open the door, hold the door handle, press the inside handle and pull the door. Close the door by pressing it without excessive force until it clicks shut.

CHILD SAFETY (IF AVAILABLE)

To protect the appliance against improper use, turn the plastic screw on the interior of the door. To do this, use the thick rounded corner of the coloured insert from the detergent dispenser or a coin:

• Slot vertical: the door will not lock.

• Slot horizontal - normal position: the door can be locked

again.

BEFORE THE FIRST WASH CYCLE

To remove any residual water used in testing by the manufacturer, we recommend that you carry out a short wash cycle without laundry.

1. Open the tap.

2. Close the door.

3. Pour a little detergent (about 30 ml) into the main wash chamber of the detergent dispenser.

4. Select and start a short programme (see separate quick reference guide).

PREPARATION OF THE WASHING

1.Sort the laundry according to...

• Type of fabric / care label symbol

Cottons, mixed fibres, easy care/synthetics, wool, handwash items.

• Colour

Separate coloured and white items. Wash new coloured articles separately.

•Loading

Wash items of different sizes in the same load to improve washing efficiency and distribution in the drum.

• Delicates

Wash small items (e.g. nylon stockings, belts etc.) and items with hooks (e.g. bras) in a cloth bag or pillow case with zip. Always remove curtain rings or wash curtains with the rings inside a cotton bag.

2.Empty all pockets

Coins, safety pins etc. can damage your laundry as well as the appliance drum and tub.

3.Fasteners

Close zips and fasten buttons or hooks; loose belts or ribbons should be tied together.

Stain removal

• Blood, milk, eggs etc. are generally removed by the

automatic enzyme phase of the programme.

• To remove red wine, coffee, tea, grass and fruit

stains etc. add a stain remover to the main wash chamber of the detergent dispenser.

• Pre-treat heavily-soiled areas with stain remover if

necessary.

Dyeing

• Only use dyes that are suitable for washing machines.

• Follow the Manufacturer’s instructions.

• Plastic and rubber parts of the washing machine can

be stained by dyes.

Loading the laundry

1. Open the door.

2. Load the articles one at a time loosely into the

drum, without overfilling. Observe the load sizes given in the quick reference guide. Note: overloading the machine will result in unsatisfactory washing results and creased laundry

3. Close the door.

DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES

The choice of detergent depends on:

• type of fabric (cottons, easy care/synthetics, delicate

items, wool).

Note: Use only specific detergents for washing wool

• colour

• the wash temperature

• degree and type of soiling

Remarks:

Any whitish residues on dark fabrics are caused by insoluble compounds used in modern phosphate-free powder detergents. If this occurs, shake or brush out the fabric or use liquid detergents. Use only detergents and additives specifically produced for domestic washing machines. When using descaling agents, dyes or bleaches for the pre-wash, make sure that they are suitable for use in domestic washing machines. Descalers could contain products which could damage your washing machine. Do not use any solvents (e.g. turpentine, benzine). Do not machine wash fabrics that have been treated with solvents or flammable liquids.

Dosage

Follow the dosage recommendations on the detergent pack. They depend on:

• degree and type of soiling

• size of wash

follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions for a full load; half load: 3/4 the amount used for a full load; Minimum load (about 1 kg): 1/2 the amount used for a full load

• water hardness in your area (ask for information

from your water company). Soft water requires less detergent than hard water (refer to the water hardness table in the operating instructions).

Notes:

Too much detergent can result in excess foam formation, which reduces washing efficiency. If the washing machine detects too much foam, it may prevent spinning. Insufficient detergent may result in grey laundry in time and also calcifies the heating system, drum and hoses.
