WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

13.1 The laundry load

• Divide the laundry into: white, coloured,
synthetics, delicates and wool.

• Follow the washing instructions on the
laundry care labels.

• Do not wash white and coloured items
together.

• Some coloured items can discolour with
the first wash. We recommend that you
wash them separately for the first couple
of times.

• Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and items
with printed illustrations inside out.

• Pre-treat stubborn stains.

• Wash stubborn stains with a special
detergent.

26 ENGLISH

• Be careful with curtains. Remove the
hooks and put the curtains in a washing
bag or pillowcase.

• A very small load can cause balance
problems with the spin phase leading to
excessive vibration. If this occurs:

a. interrupt the programme and open the

door (refer to "Daily Use" chapter);

b. manually redistribute the load so that

the items are spaced evenly around
the tub;

c. press the Start/Pause button. The

spin phase continues.

• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,
hooks and poppers. Tie up belts, cords,
shoelaces, ribbons and any other loose
elements.

• Do not wash laundry without hems or with
cuts. Use a washing bag to wash small
and/or delicate items (e.g. underwired
bras, belts, tights, shoelaces, ribbons,
etc. ).

• Empty pockets and unfold the items.

13.2 Stubborn stains

For some stains, water and detergent is not
sufficient.

We recommend that you pre-treat these
stains before you put the items in the
appliance.

Special stain removers are available. Use the
special stain remover that is applicable to the
type of stain and fabric.

13.3 Detergent type and quantity

The choice of detergent and use of correct
quantities not only affects your wash
performance, but also helps to avoid waste
and protect the environment:

• Use only detergents and other treatments
specially made for washing machines.
First, follow these generic rules:

– powder detergents for all types of

fabric, excluding delicate. Prefer
powder detergents containing bleach
for whites and laundry sanitization,

– liquid detergents, preferably for low

temperature wash programmes (60 °C
max) for all types of fabric, or special
ones for woollens only.

• The choice and quantity of detergent will
depend on: type of fabric (delicates,
woollens, cottons, etc), the colour of
clothes, size of the load, degree of soiling,

wash temperature and hardness of the
water used.

• Follow the instructions that you find on
packaging of the detergents or other
treatments without exceeding the

indicated maximum level ( ).

• Do not mix different types of detergents.

• Use less detergent if:

– you are washing a small load,
– the laundry is lightly soiled,
– there is large amounts of foam during

washing.

• When using detergent tabs or pods,
always put them inside the drum, not in
the detergent dispenser.

Insufficient detergent may cause:

• unsatisfactory washing results,

• the wash load to turn grey,

• greasy clothes,

• mould in the appliance.

Excessive detergent may cause:

• sudsing,

• reduced washing effect,

• inadequate rinsing,

• a greater impact for the environment.

13.4 Ecological hints

To save water, energy and to help protect the
environment, we recommend that you follow
these tips:

• Normally soiled laundry may be washed
without prewash in order to save
detergent, water and time (the
environment is protected too!).

• Loading the appliance to the maximum

capacity indicated for each
programmes helps to reduce energy
and water consumption.

• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and
limited soiling can be removed; the
laundry can then be washed at a lower
temperature.

• To use the correct quantity of detergent,
refer to the quantity suggested by the
detergent producer and check the water
hardness of you domestic system. Refer
to 'Water hardness'.

• Set the maximum possible spin speed
for the selected washing programme

before drying your laundry in a tumble
dryer. This will save energy during drying!

ENGLISH 27

13.5 Water hardness

If the water in your area is hard or medium
hard, we recommend that you use a water
softener for washing machines.

The water is hard or medium hard when the
hardness exceeds 8dH.

In areas where the water is soft it is not
necessary to use a water softener.

14. CARE AND CLEANING

To find out the water hardness in your area,
contact your local water authority.

Use the correct quantity of water softener.
Follow the instructions that you find on the
packaging of the product.

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

14.1 Periodic cleaning schedule

Periodic cleaning helps to extend the life
of your appliance.

After each cycle, keep the door and the
detergent dispenser slightly ajar to get air
circulation and dry the humidity inside the
appliance: this will prevent mildew and
odours.

If the appliance is not used for a long time:
close the water tap and unplug the appliance.

Indicative periodic cleaning schedule:

Descaling Twice a year

Maintenance wash Once a month

Clean door seal Every two months

Clean drum Every two months

Clean detergent dispens‐erEvery two months

Clean drain pump filter Twice a year

Clean the inlet hose and
the valve filter

The following paragraphs explain how you
should clean each part.

Twice a year

14.2 Removing foreign objects

Make sure that pockets are empty and all
loose elements are tied up before
running your cycle. Refer to "The laundry
load" in "Hints and tips".

Remove any foreign objects (such as metal
clip, buttons, coins, etc) that you may find in
the door seal, the filters and the drum. Refer
to "Door seal with double lip trap", "Cleaning
the drum", "Cleaning the drain pump" and
"Cleaning the inlet hose and the valve filter"
paragraphs. If necessary, please contact the
Authorised Service Centre.

14.3 External cleaning

Clean the appliance with mild soap and warm
water only. Fully dry all the surfaces. Do not
use a scouring pads or any scratching
material.

CAUTION!

Do not use alcohol, solvents or chemical
products.

CAUTION!

Do not clean the metal surfaces with
chlorine-based detergent.

28 ENGLISH

14.4 Descaling

If the water in your area is hard or
medium hard, we recommend that you
use a water softener for washing
machines.
The water is hard or medium hard when
the hardness exceeds 8dH.

Regularly examine the drum to check for
limescale.

Regular detergents already contain water
softening agents, but we recommend to run a
cycle with an empty drum and a descaling
product.

Clean it when needed, using ammonia cream
cleanser agent without scratching the seal
surface.

Always obey the instructions that you find
on the packaging of the product.

Always follow the instructions that you
find on the packaging of the product.

14.5 Maintenance wash

The repeated and prolonged use of low
temperature programmes can cause
detergent deposits, fluff residues, bacterial
growth inside the drum and the tub. This
could generate bad odours and mildew. To
eliminate these deposits and clean the inner
part of the appliance, run a maintenance
wash regularly (at least once a month).

Refer to "Cleaning the drum" paragraph.

14.6 Door seal with double lip trap

This appliance is designed with a self
cleaning draining system, allowing light fluff

fibers that fall off the clothes to be drained out
with the water. Regularly examine the seal.
Coins, buttons, other small items can be
recovered at the end of the cycle.

14.7 Cleaning the drum

Regularly examine the drum to prevent
unwanted deposits.

Rust deposits in the drum may occur due to
rusting foreign body in the washing or tap
water containing iron

Clean the drum with special products for
stainless steel.

Always follow the instructions that you
find on the packaging of the product.
Do not clean the drum with acidic
descaling products, scouring products
containing chlorine or iron or steel wool.

For a thorough clean:

1. Remove all laundry from the drum.

2. Run a Cottons programme with the

highest temperature.

3. Add a small quantity of powder detergent

into the empty drum, in order to rinse out
any left residues.

Occasionally, at the end of a cycle the

display may show the icon : this is a
recommendation to perform the “drum
cleaning”. Once the drum cleaning has
been performed, the icon disappears.
