Useful advice for users

Tips on using your domestic appliance in the most environmentally-friendly and economical way

Do a full load in your washing machine

To prevent any possible waste of energy, water or detergent we recommend that you put a full load in your washing machine, not exceed the maximum loads shown below:

Cotton and linen	3,5	kg
Mixed	2	kg
Very delicate	1,5	kg
Wool	1	kg

Up to 50% energy saving can be made with one full load compared to two half load washes

When is prewashing really needed?

Only with particularly dirty loads!

Energy savings of 5 to 15% are made by not selecting the prewash option for normal soiled laundry.

Which wash temperature should you choose?

Using stain removers before machine washing reduces the need to wash at temperatures over 60°C.

Energy savings of up to 50% can be made by using a 60°C wash temperature rather than 90°C

NO SPIN button	D

By pressing this button it is possible to eliminate the spin-drying on all programmes. This operation is suitable for programmes at 90°C and at 60°C in case of special treated fabrics (cottonova or permanent press) or for mixed delicate fabrics.

EXTRA RINSE button

E

This function will allow an extra rinse or more water added at the rinse stage – depending on the programme selected. This is particularly important for avoiding skin irritation from detergent residues for people with particularly sensitive skin.

The extra rinse button is also recommended when washing heavily soiled fabrics, requiring the use of a lot of detergent, or when washing items made of towelling, whose fibres have a greater tendency to retain detergent.

WASH TEMPERATURE selector	I
Can be turned in either direction
This washing machine is equipped with this device for
setting the wash temperature you want. We recommend
that the temperature shown on the label inside garments
should never be exceeded.
The most suitable temperature and cycle for each type of
fabric is shown in the programme guide.
To protect fabrics, if the variable temperature dial has
accidentally been set too high than stated in the
programme guide, the machine will lower the temperature automatically.

8

PROGRAMME Selector	L
Note: never turn the dial anti-clockwise (Turn it
clockwise and do not press the on/off button before
selecting the programme.)

The tables in the washing section describe the various programmes and give the number or symbol to select for them.

OK

IMPORTANT : IF YOU NEED TO CHANGE A PROGRAMME THAT HAS ALREADY STARTED – SWITCH OFF THE MACHINE BY THE ON / OFF BUTTON AND THEN MOVE THE PROGRAMME DIAL TO THE CORRECT POSITION. IF YOU DO NOT PRESS “OFF” BEFOREHAND, THE DIAL WILL AUTOMATICALLY MOVE TO ITS INITIAL POSITION.

Pull-out wash programme guide

M

Apply the adhesive label supplied in the appropriate language onto the pull-out wash programme guide.

Detergent drawer

A

The detergent draw is split into 2 compartments:

- the first, labelled "I", is for main wash detergent;

- the second, labelled " " is for special additives, fabric softeners, fragrances, starch, brighteners etc.

When washing with bleach use the compartment for softener.

When pre-washing, put the detergent directly in the drum.

When selecting the “32 minute Rapid programme”, put the detergent directly in the drum.

Note: some detergents are difficult to remove. For these, we recommend you use the special dispenser which is placed in the drum.

Note: only put liquid products in the second compartments.

Programme selector

The washing machine has 3 different programme groups according to type of wash, temperature and duration for handling the various types of fabric (see wash programme guide).

1.	Colourfast fabric	COTTONS
The programmes are designed for maximum washing and rinsing.
With spin stages in between, they guarantee the laundry is rinsed perfectly.
The final spin stage ensures laundry is wrung out as much as possible.
2.	Mixed fibres and synthetics	SYNTHETICS
Washing and rinsing performance is optimised through drum rotation
speeds and water level. The delicate action spin minimises creasing.
3.	Delicate fabrics, wool & extra delicate programme	DELICATES

This group of programmes have been specially designed to wash the most delicate fabrics

Use the Delicate programme for delicate fabrics

Use the Woollens programme only for machine washable wool

Use the extra delicate programme for any machine washable handwash garments

Main wash

Automatic Variable Capacity

The washing machine is fitted with an automatic reduction in consumption system (known as Automatic Variable Capacity).

This system enables the machine to use the amount of water needed to wash and rinse the laundry in relation to the particular load.

This results in a reduction in the amount of water used and electricity needed to heat it to the minimum required, without in any way compromising the washing and rinsing performance. In fact the amount of water and electricity used will always be appropriate for the amount of washing.

The washing machine therefore ensures you achieve excellent washing results whilst respecting the environment and saving you money.
