In a basin drainpipe branch: the branch must be
above the basin siphon so that the end of the hose is
at least 60 cm from ground level.
Directly in a drainpipe: you are advised to use a
vertical 65 cm high pipe; in any case it should never
be shorter than 60 cm or longer than 90 cm.
The end part of the drain hose must always be ventilated, i.e. the internal diameter of the pipe must be
wider than the external diameter of the drain hose.
The drain hose can be extended up to a maximum
length of 180 cm. Use an extension with an internal
diameter at least equal to the diameter of the original
hose and a suitable fitting. The hose extension will
run along the floor and only the part near the drainage point will be raised.

Washing hints
You are advised not to leave your laundry too long,
especially when damp. Damp laundry produces
mould and unpleasant smells.
Mould stains cannot be removed.
Sort your laundry
Study carefully the chart in this booklet explaining the
symbols used on clothes labels.
The following points are particularly important:
■
a line under the bowl means that the garment cannot be washed using programmes for resistant
fabrics such as cotton and linen;
■
do not mix coloured garments with whites;
■
anticrease materials like polyester/cotton should
be treated as synthetics;
■
non-resistant fabrics like acrylic and most curtain
materials should be treated as delicate fabrics;
■
the wool programme is designed specifically for
pure new wool. Other types of wool and wool mixtures may shrink or felt if machine-washed.
Woollen garments should be spun briefly immediately after washing.
Pre-wash
Pre-wash is not normally necessary. Your new
washing machine combined with modern detergents
will give perfect washing results without pre-wash,
thus saving energy, time, water and detergent.
However, when the laundry is particularly dirty (for
example if you have to wash mechanics’ overalls or
butchers’ aprons), you are advised to use prewash
with a biological detergent.
Temperatures
We suggest that white cotton and linen, if it is not
excessively soiled, can be washed at 60° instead of
95°. There should be no reduction in performance,
but there will be an energy saving of approximately
30%.
The same applies to a lesser extent to fast coloured
garments.
They usually require a temperature of 60° but if they
are not excessively dirty, you will have satisfactory
results at 40°.
Garments with non-fast colours should not be washed
at temperatures above 40°. If fast and non-fast
colours are washed together, they should be treated
as non-fast colours and therefore the temperature
should not exceed 40°.
Resistant white and coloured synthetics can normally
be washed at 60° but also in this case 40° is sufficient
if the laundry is not excessively dirty.
Delicate synthetics, synthetics with non-fast colours
and woollen garments must never be washed above
40°. If only one of the labels specifies 30°, this
temperature must be selected for the whole wash.
How much laundry can be washed in one
load?
For cotton and linen items as well as for synthetics
and wool refer to the quantities indicated on the programme charts.
Strictly speaking you should always weigh your laundry.
As weighing can be complicated, we suggest you
estimate the weight according to how full the drum is:
cotton and linen: drum full but not too tightly packed
resistant synthetics: no more than
delicate fabrics and wool: no more than
Before placing the laundry in the machine:
mend all tears, holes and ladders;
secure loose buttons and close poppers and zips;
do not wash frayed garments - mend hems before
washing;
remove all small objects from pockets. Nails, pins,
clips and similar objects can seriously damage your
washing machine and laundry;
remove curtain hooks;
wash coloured garments and in particular those with
non-fast colours separately when washing for the first
time. They are likely to lose colour the first time they
are washed;
treat obstinate stains such as grass, rust, tar, paint,
ink etc. with a stain remover before washing.
To remove paint stains, for example, use a volatile
substance such as turpentine: in this case, you
should wait for it to dry completely before washing.
The manufacturer of the appliance is not responsible
for any damage deriving from the use of volatile,
inflammable or toxic substances.

Detergents and additives
Good washing results also depend on the choice of
detergent and use of the correct quantities to avoid
waste and protect the environment.
Although biodegradable, detergents contain substances which in large quantities can damage the delicate
ecological balance of nature.
Always use good quality detergents suitable for
use in washing machines.
Follow the indications given by the detergent manufacturer according to the weight of laundry, the
degree of soil and the hardness of the water in your
area; if you do not know how hard it is, ask your local
Water Authority.
Powder detergents
The washing powder should be placed in the appropriate compartments of the dispenser drawer before
starting the programme.
Special detergents are available for coloured and delicate fabrics and for wool.
«Concentrated» powder detergents
Pour the concentrated powder detergent into the
compartment for the main wash.
The washing machine incorporates a recirculation
system which allows an optimal use of the concentrated detergent.
Avoid selecting programmes including prewash
when concentrated detergents are used.
Avoid use of the proportioners supplied with the
detergents into the internal drum.
Liquid detergents
A liquid detergent can be used in the middle compartment of the dispenser drawer as long as you start the
machine up straight away without prewash.
Liquid additives
It may be advisable to use a liquid fabric softener
when you are going to dry synthetic garments in the
tumble dryer for example.
This prevents the fabrics becoming charged with static electricity.

MAINTENANCE
Bodywork
The outside of the machine can be cleaned with warm
water and a neutral non-abrasive household detergent. Wipe with clean water and dry after cleaning.
Important: do not use methylated spirit, diluents or
similar products.
Detergent dispenser drawer
After a while detergents and fabric softeners leave a
deposit in the drawer.
It should be cleaned from time to time with a jet of
running water.
If necessary it can be removed completely from the
machine by pulling it out after depressing the button
at the rear of the drawer.
To facilitate cleaning, the upper part of the additive
compartment can be removed.
P0010
P0009
The drain filter
The drain filter collects threads and small objects left
in the laundry. Check regularly that the filter is
clean to ensure smooth running of your machine.
Place a bowl underneath and unscrew the filter by turning it to the left.
Remove the filter.
P0037
P0040
P0039
Clean it under a fast-running tap.
The drawer recess
P0038
Detergent can also accumulate inside the recess
which should be cleaned
occasionally with an old
toothbrush.
Once you have finished
cleaning, replace the
drawer and run a rinse
