15. FLUFF IN THE FABRICS

During the washing and/or drying phase, some types of fabric, (sponge, wool, sweatshirt) could release fluff.
The released fluff could stick to the fabrics during the next cycle.
This inconvenient increases with technical fabrics.
To prevent the fluff in your laundry, we recommend that you:
• To do not wash dark fabrics after you washed and dried light coloured fabrics (hand towel, wool, sweatshirt ) and the contrary.
• To dry this type of fabrics at open air when they are washed the first time.
• To clean the drain filter.
• After the drying phase, clean the empty drum, the gasket and the door with a wet cloth.

16. HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.

16.1 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.
• 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:
To remove the fluff inside the drum, set a special programme:
• Empty the drum.
• Clean the drum, the gasket and the door with a wet cloth.
• Set the Machine Clean programme and the Dry together to activate the anti-fluff action.
• Touch the Start/Pause button to start the programme.
If the appliance is frequently used, carry out the cleaning programme regularly.
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.
Page 35

16.2 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.
Do not spray stain remover on garments near the appliance as it is corrosive to the plastic parts.

16.3 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 (also tablets
and single-dose detergents) for all types of fabric, excluding delicate. Prefer powder detergents containing bleach for whites and laundry sanitization,
– liquid detergents (also single-dose
detergents) , preferably for low temperature wash programmes
ENGLISH 35
(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 and follow the manufacturer's recommendations .
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.

16.4 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 programme for saving energy during drying phase!

16.5 Water hardness

If the water hardness in your area is high or moderate, we recommend that you use a water softener for washing machines. In areas where the water hardness is soft it is not necessary to use a water softener.
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.

16.6 Prepare the drying cycle

• Open the water tap.

17. CARE AND CLEANING

ENGLISH 37
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.

17.1 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
Remove fluff inside the drum
Clean detergent dispenser
Clean drain pump filter
Clean the inlet hose and the valve filter
1)
Refer to ''Fluff in the fabrics'' chapter.
The following paragraphs explain how you should clean each part.

17.2 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.

17.4 Descaling

If the water hardness in your area is high or moderate, we recommend that you use a water descaling product for washing machines.
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.
Always follow the instructions that you find on the packaging of the product.

17.5 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.

17.6 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.
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. Do not clean the drum with acidic descaling products, scouring products containing chlorine or iron or steel wool.
