Getting to know your washing machine
Before doing anything else your should get to know your washing machine perfectly. To help you recognise all the different devices and elements which your machine is equip­ped with, we have included some dia­grams. These can be found at the back of the BOOKLET, inside the back cover. Please study them carefully. They will help you to understand the text and to visually locate all the elements which make up your machine.
Preliminary warnings
Installation
It is essential that the installation of your WASHING MACHINE be carried out in accordance with current standards.
Specific installation instructions can be found in the INSTALLATION MANUAL.
Before starting your washing machine, it is absolutely essential to remove the INTER­NAL FIXING SCREWS, used for transit. To do this, consult the installation manual.
Technical specifications table
Stuck of your WASHING MACHINE, you will find a TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS TABLE, which gives the technical and iden­tification information for your machine.
THIS LABEL SHOULD BE CONSULTED BEFORE MAKING ANY ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.
In order to preserve the environment, your washing machine is equipped with a sys­tem which is capable of adapting to diffe­rent conditions of use (amount of clothes and type of fabric), there by ensuring an optimum level of water and power with the same wash and rinse results. This means that during the washing process, the amount of water you observe through the hatch may seem low.
Moreover, for the same reason, some models have a patented system by means of which the drum turns faster than normal for a short amount of time (2 seconds) only in the wash programmes for normal fabrics (cotton, linen, ect.). This occurrs between six and eight times during the whole wash.

Stop/start button
Once you have selected the programme you require, press this button to start your washing machine (the button sticks out from the control panel). The “ON” light will come on after a few seconds, during which time the Door Safety device is activated.
If the programme is completed without interruptions, you can open the loading door once the programme is over and yo have waited for the Door Locking Safety device to the deactivated (about 2 minutes). The “ON” light will go off to indicate this.
When your washing machine is in operation, the wash cycle can be interrupted by pressing the Stop/Start button. The “ON” light will go off. Press the Stop/Start button again, to start your washing machine from the phase of the cycle where it left off. If you stop your machine from the phase of the cycle where it left off. If you stop your machine to add or remove garments,make sure that the water level not so high the it could overflow when the door is opened. Also make sure that the temperature inside the drum is not too high. Remember that even though the “ON” light goes off, you have to wait about two minutes until the door safety device is deactivated before you can open the door.
Additional functions buttons
By pressing these buttons, you can include a series of additional functions and features in the wash programme you have selected. These functions and features will enable you to adjust the wash to your particular needs and requirements.
These functions are activated when the button sticks our form the control panel, enabling you to see the symbol printed on it. Depending on the model, your washing machine will have some of the following functions.
No Sping button

Loading the drum
When loading clothes into the drum, you should bear the following points in mind:
- Make sure all the pockets are empty.
- Stretch out and unfold each item.
- Put the items into the drum one by one,
so that they do not get tangled up toget­her.
5
ENGLISH
CI
- Take into account the recommended load size for each programme.
- When washing towels, try not to wash them on their own.Mix them in with other clothes.
Once you have loades the drum, close the door by pressing on it until it is properly closed. Make sure that no clothes get trap­ped between the door and the rubber seal.
Adding detergent and additives
Before starting the wash programme, add the detergent or additive to the detergent dispenser (Figure 3).
Depending on the model, the detergent dispenser in your washing machine has three our four compartments marked with the following symbols:
compartment:
For the PREWASH detergent.
compartment:
For the MAIN WASJ detergent.
compartment:
For additives like starch, fabric conditioner, etc., if required
compartment:
(Optional) For liquid whiteners:
bleach etc., if required.
Note: The level of liquids should never exceed the MAX LEVEL (Fig. 3).
Optional dispenser
You can also use liquid detergent in your
washing machine. To do this you need the optional dispenser which you can obtain through the FAGOR SERVICE NETWORK. This optional dispenser should be placed in the COMPARMENT of the deter­gent dispenser (Figure 3-A). Always use the amount recommended by the deter­gent manufacturer. However, the detergent should never go above the MAX level mar­ked on the side of the dispenser.
Detergent
Only use detergents suitable for automatic washing machines good quality detergents which do not produce too much lather. When washing woollen garments, only use neutral detergents.
Detergent guide
Remember that the amount of detergent to be used always depends on:
- The size of the load.
- The type of clothes to be washed.
- How dirty the clothes are.
- The hardness of the water.
Using more detergent than necessary will not improve the results of your wash. In addition to being a waste it will also have negative effects on the environment.
For wash programmes without a prewash, it is best to use detergents which can be put straight in the drum. In any case, we recom­mend that you follow the instructions of the manufacturer of the detergent used.
6
ENGLISH
The following table will help you to determine the amount of detergent to be used, depending on the hardness of the water and the size of the load.
LOAD SIZE IN KG
4,5 3,5 2 1 KG.
Water Hardness (French measures) AMOUNT OF DETERGENT IN GRAMMES Soft: (Up to 12) 90 80 65 55 Medium (12/25) 125 115 90 75 Hard (25/37) 160 140 110 90 Very hard (over 37) 180 160 130 110
Information about water hardness can be obtained from your local authority. If your water hardness is measured in German measures, divide the hardness values given above by 1.78.
Selecting the wash programme
You now have a MULTIPROGRAMME WAS­HING MACHINE which allows you to adapt your wash to all types of clothes. For this you have 3 types of PROGRAMMES:
1.- NORMAL PROGRAMMES, suitable for
washing resistant clothes.
2.- DELICATE PROGRAMMES suitable for
washing delicate fabrics.
3.- WOOL PROGRAMME
Moreover, both the Normal and Delicate programmes can operate with hot or cold water, if your washing machines respective water inlets are properly connected.
The wash systems installed in your was­hing machine are suitable for washing both cotton and synthetic garments, and wool, silk and acrylics.
Basically, the PROGRAMMES are differen­tiated by the drum rotation rate and by tem­perature, wash time and water level.
In general NORMAL cycles are suitable for washing resistant fabrics such as cotton, resistant synthetics, linen, etc., while the
DELICATE cycles, with a gentler drum rotation,and lower temperatures are desig­ned for washing synthetics, mixed cotton etc.; and lastly the WOOL cycle is recom­mended for that type of fabric.
The models which have a wash temperatu­re Selector also have Automatic Variable Load adjustment so that water and electri­city consumption is automatically adjusted to the quantity of clothes to be washed.
Programme Charts
On the next page you have a detailed PRO­GRAMMES CHART. Consult it to fina all the data relating to the different types of wash programmes which your washing machine offers.
Depending on your model, the same chart in shortened form is given on the front panel of the detergent tray or on an acces­sible card located inside the tray.
You will have one of the tables given bellow, depending on your washing machi­ne model. It will the with either 10 or 13 wash programmes.

– If your coloureds are new, it is best to
wash them separately the first few times.
Dirtiness
– Sort the clothes according to dirtiness.
Give special treatment to those which are very dirty or have got difficult stains.
– Treat very dirty areas, like collars and
cuffs, beforehand.
– Wash clothes that are only slightly dirty
in short programmes. In this way, you will save energy as well as getting excellent results.
– Wash averagely dirty clothes in a nor-
mal wash programme.
– Wash very dirty clothes in a Long
Programme with a Prewash.
Sensitivity
– Certain clothes, either because of their
fabric or the way they are made, may be sesitive to action of your machine. When washing them it is best to use DELICATE PROGRAMMES.
– You can wash woollen garments in the
SPECIAL WOOL PROGRAMME. Make sure, first of all, that your woollen gar­ments are machine washable.

– Maximum WASH temperature. – Type of wash they can withstand. – Products with which they can or cannot
be washed. – Treatments for their care. – Correct ironing temperature and met-
hod.
Treating stains
On many occasions, due to the type and characteristics of some stains, you may not be able to get the results you would like from the wash. There follows a guide to the special treatments you can apply to these stains before putting the clothes into your washing machine.
Water soluble stains
Treat these stains, even if they are stub­born, with concentrated detergent or was­hing soap.
11
ENGLISH
Stains not soluble in water
Treat these stains with a special stain remo­val product.
Difficult stains
Felt-tip pen and biro: rub these stains with a cloth soaked in alcohol.
Candle wax: cover these stains with a piece of blotting-paper and iron at the correct temperature for the material. If necessary, repeat the operation.
Resin, grease and skin-care cream: treat these stains with a petro-based stain remo­ver and then wash.
Tar: rub these stains with butter and set to one side for a while, then wash.
Blood, milk and egg:soak in cold water and then wash with biological detergent at a temperature of 50ºC to 60ºC, provied the fabric can take it.
Fruit,coffee and wine: these stains normally disappear after a number of washes.
If you come up against a stain which is not washable or particularly stubborn, ask for specialist advice. In any case, NEVER USE CHEMICAL PRODUCTS IN THIS WASHING MACHINE.
Practical advice on the wash load
– Whenever possible, it is best to wash
with a full load, as this will reduce water
and electricity consumption conside-
rably. – If you have to wash very dirty clothes o
very absorbent items (towels, bathro-
om linen, etc.), it is advisale to reduce
the maximum load given. – Whenever possible, we recommend
that you wash items of different sizes in
the same wash programmes, as this
helps the wash action and benefits the
distribution of clothes in the drum
during spin drying. It also means that the machine operates more quietly.
General hints on washing
– When you wash garments which requi-
re different wash temperatues, always select the lowest temperature.
– Generally speaking, whiteners should
only be used to wash resistant while fabrics such as cotton, linen, etc.
– Wash garments made of synthetic,
mixed and delicate fibres in Delicate Programmes to avoid creasing which will be difficult to iron out.
– It is best to finish Delicate programmes
with a short spin. This will increase the efficiency of the rinses an mean that the clothes are well wrung out.
General tips
Maintenance
Before cleaning or carrying out any main­tenance operation on your washing machi­ne, always unplig in from the mains supply.
Cleaning
After each wash, leave the loading door open for a while so that air can circulate inside your machine.
From time to time it is a good idea to run a complete Wash Cycle, using a delicaling product. This will help prolong the life of your machine.
Cleaning the outside of your washing machine
Use warm soapy water or a gentle non­abrasive cleaning agent which is not a sol­vent to clean the outside of your washing machine. Then dry it well with a soft cloth.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
Clean the detergent dispenser whenever you see a build up of washing powder deposits. To do this:
12
ENGLISH
- Take the DETERGENT DISPENSER right
out, pulling outwards on the handle.
- Clean the DISPENSER COMPART-
MENTS with warm water and a brush.
- Clean the SUCTION SYPHONS as well. Once you have done this, put the dispenser
back in your washing machine.
Troubleshooting guide
If you have a problem with your washing machine, you will probaply be able to solve it by consulting the following guide.
If the guide does not offer a solution to the problem, unplug your washing machine and call your nearest AUTHORISED SERVI­CE CENTRE. Your washing machine con­tains no fuses or similar components which you can change. NEVER tamper with your washing machine.
Your washing machine does not start
Possible causes – There is no electricity supply – Your washing machine is not plugged
in. – A mains fuse has blown. – Your washing machine door is not pro-
perly shut. – The STOP/START button has not been
pressed.
Your washing machine is not taking in water
Possible causes – The mains water supply has been cut
off. – The water inlet tap is turned off. – The hose filter is blocked. – The pipe is blocked or bent.
Your washing machine does not empty or spin
Possible causes – The water outlet pipe is blocked or
bent.
