Detergent drawer

WARNING: only use liquid products; the washing machine is set to automatically dose additives at each cycle during the last rinse.

WARNING: some detergents are hard to remove. In this case we recommend using the specific container to be placed in the drum (example in figure 11).

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. To maintain a good wash performance we recommend that the soap drawer and pump filters are regularly cleaned. A monthly service wash, using a proprietary cleaner is also recommended.

! 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.

Ensure the siphon cap is correctly refitted.

! 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.

Ensure all the water has been emptied from the drum.

Before unscrewing the filter, we recommend you place an absorbent cloth under it to keep the floor dry. A small amount of water will come out of the filter as you remove it - this is normal.

Turn the filter counter-clockwise to the limit stop.

! Remove and clean the filter; when

finished, replace it turning it clockwise. The filter handle will be locked when it is not possible to turn any further and the handle is horizontal. Smearing a small amount of liquid soap on the filter seal will help refitting.

! 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 drainage

system and clip on the rear of the machine and lower it, fully draining water into a bowl.

! Secure the drain tube with the drainage

system and clip on the rear of the machine when finished.

! Keep the door glass and gasket clean.

** 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 of programmes).

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°

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.

Coloured 40°

This programme allows you to wash different type’s fabrics and different colours all together. The rotation movement of the drum and the water levels are optimized, both during the washing the rinsing phase. The accurate spin action, ensures a reduced formation of creases in the fabrics. Thanks to "Mix Power System +" technology, a complete washing cycle optimization is possible.

Hygiene 60°

Thanks to the "Mix Power System +" technology, this program ensures deep cleaning by optimizing the cycle in terms of temperature and rinses, eliminating allergens and detergent residues. Ideal for sensitive skin. Designed for cotton garments, it provides a 60°C temperature and is recommended for a reduced load.

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 (14/30/44 Min.)

Washing cycle suggested for low loads and slightly dirty. With this program it is recommended to reduce the quantity of detergent normally used, in order to avoid unnecessary waste. Selecting the RAPID program and acting on the button you can choose one of three programs available.

Hand/Silk

This programme allows a delicate washing cycle for garments specified as "Hand Wash only" and laundry items made from Silk or specified as "Wash as Silk" on the fabric label.

New coloured garments should be washed separately for at least 5 or 6 washes.

Certain large dark items such as jeans and towels should always be washed separately.

Never mix NON COLOURFAST fabrics.

Rinse

This program performs 3 rinses with an intermediate spin (which can be reduced or excluded by using the appropriate button) . It is used for rinsing any type of fabric, for example after a wash carried out by hand.

Drain + Spin

The program completes the drain and a maximum spin. It is possible to delete or reduce the spin with the SPIN SPEED button.

Delicates

This program has reduced periods of drum rotation during the cycle and is particularly suitable or washing delicate fabrics. The wash cycle and rinses are carried out with a high level of water to ensure the best performance.

Mixed

The washing and rinsing optimise the speed and rhythm of the drum action and water levels. The gentle spin, ensures a reduced formation of creases in the fabric.

Cottons

This program is suitable to clean normally soiled cotton laundry and it is the most efficient program in terms of combined energy and water consumptions for washing cotton laundry.

Whites

Made to have a perfect washing. The final spin at maximum speed gives more efficient removal.

Easy Iron

This wash program is suitable for mixed fabrics and uses a steam treatment that relaxes creases and regenerate fibres, which makes ironing the garment far easier.

SMART Fi+

Position that you have to select when you want to enable remote control through the App (via Wi-Fi). In this case, the start of cycle will take place through the App commands. If the machine hasn’t been enrolled yet, pressing the START/PAUSE button on the appliance, the "Auto-Clean" cycle will be performed. Designed to sanitize the drum, remove bad smells and extend the life of the appliance, make sure there is no load in the drum before starting the "Auto-Clean" cycle and use a proprietary washing machine cleaning agent or powder detergent. Leave the door of the machine open at the end of the cycle to allow the drum to dry. Recommended every 50 washes.
