3. PRACTICAL TIPS

WARNING: when sorting laundry, make sure:

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

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

- to have removed rollers 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 centrifuging.

! 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.

! We recommend you clean the drawer to

avoid accumulating detergent and additive residue.

! To do this, extract the drawer using slight

force, clean it with running water and reinsert it in its housing.

! 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.

! Secure the drain tube with the strap when

finished.

** STANDARD COTTON PROGRAMMES ACCORDING TO (EU) No 1015/2010 and No 1061/2010.

COTTON PROGRAMME WITH A TEMPERATURE OF 60°C.

COTTON PROGRAMME WITH A TEMPERATURE OF 40°C.

These programmes are suitable to clean normally soiled cotton laundry and they are the most efficient programmes in terms of combined energy and water consumptions for washing cotton laundry. These programmes have been developed to be compliant with the temperature on the wash label on the garments and the actual water temperature may slightly differ from the declared temperature of the cycle.

To clean different types of fabrics and various levels of dirt, the washing machine has specific programs to meet every need of washing (see table).

Mix Power System +

The washing machine is equipped with an innovative pre-mix of detergent and water. A jet of water under high pressure sprays the mixture directly in the load. In the initial phase of the wash cycle, the high pressure spray facilitate the penetration of the wash solution through the fibres, thoroughly removing dirt ensuring the best wash performance.

The system also delivers the "Mix Power System +", during the rinse, the complete removal of the residues of detergent due to its high pressure water jet, which invests the laundry.

Perfect 20°C – Mix & Wash

This innovative "Mix Power System +" technology, allows you to wash fabrics such as cottons, synthetics and mixed fabrics at 20°C with a performance which is comparable to a 40°C wash. The consumption of this programme is about 50% of a conventional 40°C. Cottons wash. We suggest a wash load equal to 2/3 of the maximum capacity of the machine. This programme applies to the washing system "Mix & Wash" which allows you to wash different fabrics and colours together.

Intensive 40°

This programme is suitable for cotton garments and achieves excellent cleaning results at 40°C ensuring the application of fabrics and colors.

Hygiene 60°

This programme is suitable for cotton garments and has been specially developed to remove stubborn stains already at 60°C thanks to the "Mix Power System +" technology.

Perfect Rapid 59 Min

This specially designed programme maintains the high quality wash performance whilst greatly reducing the wash time. The programme is designed for a reduced load (see table of programmes).

Rapid 30 Min

- cloudier rinse drain water: This effect is

tied to the suspended zeolites which do not have negative effects on rinse efficiency.

- white powder (zeolites) on laundry at the end of the wash: this is normal, the powder is not absorbed by fabric and does not change its colour.

- foam in the water at last rinse: this does not necessary indicate poor rinsing.

- abundant foam: This is often due to the anionic surfactants found in the detergents which are hard to eliminate from laundry.

In this case, do not re-rinse to eliminate

these effects: it will not help at all.

2. INSTALACIJA

! Prerežite trake kojima su

pričvršćene cijevi i električni kabel, pritom pazeći da ih ne oštetite.

! Uklonite 2 ili 4 vijka (A) sa

stražnje strane uređaja te 2 ili 4 podloška (B) kao što je prikazano na slici 1.

! Zatvorite 2 ili 4 otvora korištenjem

isporučenih poklopaca (nalaze se u kuverti s dokumentacijom).

! Ukoliko je perilica rublja

ugradbena, nakon što prerežete trake, uklonite 3 ili 4 vijka (A) i 3 ili 4 podloška (B).

! Kod nekih modela perilica, 1 ili

više podložaka past će unutar

uređaja - kakbo biste ih uklonili, nagnite perilicu rublja prema naprijed. Zatvorite otvore korištenjem isporučenih poklopaca (nalaze se u kuverti s dokumentacijom).

! Postavite ploču od valovitog

materijala na dno uređaja, kako je prikazano na slici 2 (zavisno o modelu uređaja, uzmite u obzir verziju A, B ili C).

UPOZORENJE:

Ambalažu uređaja (stiropor, najlon i sl.) držite van dohvata djece jer za njih može biti opasna.

Spojite dovodnu cijev na slavinu. Za odvod vode iz uređaja koristite isključivo isporučenu cijev (sl. 3).

NE OTVARAJTE SLAVINU (prije nego se upoznate sa svim narednim uputama).

! Neki modeli perilica rublja mogu imati

jednu ili više niže navedenih mogućnosti:

! VRUĆA I HLADNA VODA (sl.4): Spajanjem

na vodovodnu instalaciju s priključkom na toplu i hladnu vodu može se postići veća ušteda u potrošnji električne energije. Spojite sivu cijev na slavinu za hladnu vodu

a crvenu na slavinu za toplu vodu. Perilicu rublja možete spojiti samo na hladnu vodu, pri čemu može doći do kašnjenja u pokretanju nekih programa pranja.

! AQUASTOP (sl.5): Uređaj koji je ugrađen na

dovodnu cijev zaustavlja dovod vode u slučaju da se cijev ošteti; u takvom slučaju na prozorčiću “A” prikazat će se crvena oznaka i cijev mora biti zamijenjena. Da odvrnete maticu, pritisnite tipku-osigurač "B".

! AQUAPROTECT - DOVODNA CIJEV S

ZAŠTITOM (sl.6): Ako glavna unutarnja cijev "A" curi, voda ć e se zadržati u prozirnoj zaštitnoj cijevi "B" kako bi se omogućio završetak ciklusa pranja. Nakon toga, kontaktirajte ovlašteni servis radi zamjene dovodne cijevi.

! Pripazite da dovodna i odvodna cijev nisu

previše savijene ili pritisnute od strane okolnih predmeta ili zidova. Odvodnu cijev možete objesiti preko umivaonika ili wc školjke ili spojiti na stalni zidni odvod koji mora biti minimalno na 50 cm visine i promjera većeg od odvodne cijevi (sl. 7).

podesivih nožica (slika 8):

a.okrenite maticu udesno da otpustite vijak; b.podesite nožicu kako biste povisili ili

snizili perilicu (sve dok čvrsto ne prianja na pod);

c.učvrstite nožicu tako da zategnete maticu,

sve dok ne prianja uz dno perilice rublja.

! Nakon poravnanja, uključite perilicu.

Ladica za deterdžent podijeljena je na 3 odjeljka slika 9:

! odjeljak “1”: deterdžent za predpranje; ! odjeljak “ ”:posebni dodaci, omekšivači,

bijelila itd;

! odjeljak “2”: deterdžent za glavno pranje. ! Posudica za tekući deterdžent

isporučena je samo uz neke modele perilica rublja (sl.10). Ako je želite koristiti, umetnite posudicu u odjeljak "2". Samo na taj način, tekući deterdžent ući će u bubanj u pravo vrijeme. Posudica se može koristiti i za izbjeljivanje rublja ukoliko je odabran program za ispiranje.

UPOZORENJE:

Ukoliko je potrebno zamijeniti glavni električni kabel, kontaktirajte ovlašteni servis.

Ladica za deterdžent

UPOZORENJE:

U ovom odjeljku koristite samo tekuća sredstva; perilica rublja je podešena da u svakom ciklusu pranja automatski uzima dodatke pri zadnjem ispiranju.

UPOZORENJE:

Neke vrste deterdženta se teško otapaju. Pri korištenju takve vrste deterdženta koristite poseban spremnik koji se stavlja izravno u bubanj perilice (primjer na slici 11).

3. PRAKTIČNI SAVJETI

UPOZORENJE: prije stavljanja rublja u perilicu, učinite sljedeće:

- s rublja uklonite metalne predmete poput kopči, kovanica iz džepova, sigurnosnih igli i sl.

- zakopčajte dugmad na posteljini, zatvorite patentne zatvarače, zavežite pojaseve i duge trake na odjeći;

- uklonite kopče /držače sa zavjesa;

- pažljivo pročitajte upute za pranje koje se nalaze na etiketama odjeće;

- za uklanjanje tvrdokornih mrlja koristite posebna sredstva.

! Kod pranja manjih prostirki, pokrivača za

krevete i drugog težeg rublja, preporuča se da isključite centrifugiranje.

! Vunenu odjeću i druge vunene predmete

perite u perilici rublja samo ako su deklarirani za pranje u perilici rublja ili za ručno pranje.

Savjeti za ekonomično i ekološko korištenje vaše perilice rublja.

Najveća količina rublja za pranje

! Najbolju učinkovitost u potrošnji električne

energije, vode i deterdženta možete postići ako perilicu napunite s maksimalno preporučenom količinom rublja. Uz potpuno napunjenu perilicu uštedjet ćete i do 50% električne energije u odnosu na dva polovična pranja.

Da li je potrebno predpranje

! Samo za jako prljvo rublje! UŠTEDITE

deterdžent, vrijeme, vodu i između 5 do 15% na potrošnji električne energije ako za manje ili uobičajeno prljavo rublje NE koristite predpranje.

Da li je potrebno pranje vrelom vodom?

! Da izbjegnte potrebu za pranjem na

visokoj temperaturi, mrlje na odjeći prethodno obradite sredstvom za uklanjanje mrlja ili namakanjem takve odjeće prije glavnog pranja. Uštedite do 50% električne energije pranjem na 60°C.

Pročitajte niže navedene kratke upute sa savjetima i preporukama za korištenje

deterdženta na različitim temperaturama pranja. U bilo kojem slučaju, uvijek pročitajte

upute za pravilno korištenje i doziranje koje se nalaze na ambalaži deterdženta.

Savjeti za pripremu rublja

Praktični savjeti za korisnika

Prilikom pranja jako zaprljanog bijelog rublja preporučamo upotrebu programa za pamuk na 60°C ili više i

uobičajeni praškasti deterdžent koji sadrži sastojke za izbjeljivanje. Takvi deterdženti postižu odlične rezultate pranja na srednjim/visokim temperaturama.

Za pranje između 40°C i 60°C koristite deterdžente odgovarajuće vrsti tkanine i razini prljavštine. Uobičajeni praškasti deterdženti prikladni su za bijele i tkanine postojanih boja većeg stupnja zaprljanosti, dok su tekući deterdženti, kao i praškasti deterdženti za zaštitu boja prikladniji za obojene tkanine i manji stupanj zaprljanosti.

Za pranje na temperaturama ispod 40°C preporučamo upotrebu tekućih

deterdženata ili onih posebno istaknutih za pranje na niskim temperaturama.

Za pranje vune ili svile, koristite isključivo deterdžente koji su posebno namijenjeni za takve vrste tkanina.

4. ČIŠĆENJE I ODRŽAVANJE

Za pranje vanjskih površina perilice rublja, koristite vlažnu mekanu krpu, izbjegavajte oštra/gruba sredstva (npr. vim) ili sredstva na bazi alkohola, otapala i sl. Za uobičajeno čišćenje/održavanje, perilica rublja ne zahtijeva posebnu brigu, povremeno operite ladicu za deterdžent i očistite filter. Ukoliko ne namjeravate koristiti perilicu kroz duži period, u nastavku su navedeni savjeti kako je pripremiti.

! Kako ne bi došlo do začepljenja odvoda

vode, u perilicu rublja ugrađen je poseban filter koji zadržava predmete poput kovanica, gumba, ostataka tkanina, kose i sl.

! Pažljivo izvucite ladicu za deterdžent iz

perilice (bez pretjerane sile). Operite ladicu pod tekućom vodom i vratite je nazad u perilicu.

! Da ne dođe do začepljenja odvoda vode

u perilicu rublja ugrađen je poseban filter koji zadržava predmete poput kovanica, gumba, ostataka tkanina, kose i sl.

! Dostupno samo na određenim modelima:

Rebrastu cijev povucite prema van, uklonite graničnik i ispustite vodu u spremnik.

! Za sakupljanje vode koja će isteći iz filtera (ili

cijevi) podmetnite posudicu ili suhu krpu.

! FIlter okrenite ulijevo dok se ne zaustavi

u okomitom položaju.

! Izvucite i očistite filter, a nakon čiš ć enja

vratite ga u početan položaj okretanjem udesno.

! Ponovite prethodne korake obrnutim

redoslijedom kako biste namjestili sve dijelove.

Ukoliko uređaj nemate namjeru koristiti kroz duži period (posebice ako će biti smješten u negrijanoj prostoriji) ili ako ga namjeravate premjestiti, postupite kako slijedi.

! Iskopčajte glavni električni kabel.

! Ispustite svu vodu iz odvodne cijevi.

! Odspojite dovodnu cijev sa slavine i

ispustite svu vodu.

! Osigurajte cijevi povezivanjem ili

ljepljivom trakom.

5. KRATKE UPUTE ZA UPOTREBU PERILICE RUBLJA

Ova perilica rublja automatski prilagođava razinu vode prema vrsti i količini rublja. Ta mogućnost pridonosi manjoj potrošnji električne energije i osjetno smanjuje vrijeme pranja.

! Uključite perilicu rublja i odaberite željeni

program pranja.

Podesite temperaturu pranja i po potrebi odaberite odgovarajuću tipku dodatnih opcija.

! Pritisnite START/PAUSE tipku kako biste

pokrenuli ciklus pranja.

U slučaju da tijekom rada perilice rublja nestane električne energije iz bilo kojeg razloga, postavke programa pohranit će se u posebnu memoriju, a nakon povratka električne energije perilica rublja nastavit će ciklus pranja od trenutka u kojem je zaustavljena.

! Nakon završetka programa, na ekranu će

se prikazati riječ "end" (kraj) ili ć e se ugasiti odgovarajući svjetlosni indikator.

! Isključite perilicu rublja.

Za bilo koju vrstu pranja, pogledajte podatke u tablici programa i slijedite tijek rada kako je navedeno.
