This appliance is marked according to
the European directive 2012/19/EU
on Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE).

WEEE contains both polluting substances (which
can cause negative consequences for the
environment) and basic components (which can
be re-used). It is important to have WEEE
subjected to specific treatments, in order to
remove and dispose properly all pollutants, and
recover and recycle all materials. Individuals can
play an important role in ensuring that WEEE
does not become an environmental issue; it is
essential to follow some basic rules:

! WEEE should not be treated as household

waste;

! WEEE should be handed over to the relevant

collection points managed by the municipality or
by registered companies. In many countries, for
large WEEE, home collection could be present.

In many countries, when you buy a new
appliance, the old one may be returned to the
retailer who has to collect it free of charge on a
one-to-one basis, as long as the equipment is of
equivalent type and has the same functions as
the supplied equipment.

3. PRACTICAL TIPS

WARNING: when sorting laundry, make
sure:

- have eliminated metallic objects such as
hair clips, pins, coins, from laundry;

- to have buttoned pillow cases, closed
zips, tied loose belts and long robe
ribbons;

- to have removed rollers, hooks or clips
from curtains;

- to have carefully read clothing washing
labels;

- to have removed any persistent stains
using specific detergents.

! When washing rugs, bedcovers or other

heavy clothing, we recommend you avoid
the spinning cycle.

! To wash wool, make sure the item can be

machine washed and marked by the
“Pure virgin wool” symbol with the “Does
not mat” or “Machine washable” label.

A guide environmentally friendly and
economic use of your appliance.

Maximise The Load Size

! Achieve the best use of energy, water,

detergent and time by using the
recommended maximum load size.
Save up to 50% energy by washing a full
load instead of 2 half loads.

Do you need to pre-wash?

! For heavily soiled laundry only!

SAVE detergent, time, water and
between 5 to 15% energy consumption
by NOT selecting Prewash for slight to
normally soiled laundry.

Is a hot wash required?

! Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak

dried in stains in water before washing to
reduce the necessity of a hot wash
programme.
Save up to 50% energy by using a 60°C
wash programme.

Following is a quick guide with tips and
recommendations on detergent use at the
various temperatures. In any case, always
read the instructions on the detergent for
correct use and doses.

Load tips

Helpful suggestions for the user

When washing heavily soiled whites,
we recommend using cotton
programs of 60°C or above and a

normal washing powder (heavy duty)
that contains bleaching agents that at
medium/high temperatures provide
excellent results.

For washes between 40°C and 60°C
the type of detergent used needs to be
appropriate for the type of fabric and
level of soiling.
Normal powders are suitable for “white”
or colour fast fabrics with high soiling,
while liquid detergents or “colour
protecting” powders are suitable for
coloured fabrics with light levels of
soiling.

For washing at temperatures below
40°C we recommend the use of liquid

detergents or detergents specifically
labeled as suitable for low temperature
washing.

For washing wool or silk, only use
detergents specifically formulated for
these fabrics.

4. MAINTENANCE AND
CLEANING

To clean the washing machine exterior, use a
damp cloth, avoiding abrasives, alcohol and/or
solvents. The washing machine does not
require any special care for ordinary cleaning:
clean drawer compartments and the filter;
some tips on how to move the machine or on
long periods of disuse are provided below.

! The washing machine comes with a

special filter able to trap large residue,
such as buttons or coins, which could
clog the drain.

! Only available on certain models: pull out

the corrugated hose, remove the stopper
and drain the water into a container.

! Before unscrewing the filter, we

recommend you place an absorbent cloth
under it to keep the floor dry.

! Turn the filter counter-clockwise to the

limit stop in the vertical position.

! Remove and clean the filter; when

finished, replace it turning it clockwise.

! Repeat the previous steps in reverse

order to reassemble all parts.

! Should the washing machine be stored in

an unheated room for a long period of
time, drain all water from tubes.

! Unplug the washing machine.

! Detach the tube from the strap and lower

it, fully draining water into a bowl.

finished.

! Press button (A).

! Hold down the button and turn the

detergent dispenser outwards.
