Washing Hints
Sorting The Laundry
Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label and
the manufacturer’s washing instructions. Sort the laundry as
follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.
Temperatures
Sanitary
60°
Cold-30°-40°
for normally soiled white cottons and linen
(e.g. tea cloths, towels, tablecloths, sheets...)
for normally soiled, colour fast garments (e.g.
shirts, night dresses, pyjamas....) in linen,
cotton or synthetic fi bres and for lightly soiled
white cotton (e.g. underwear).
for delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed
laundry including synthetic fi bres and woollens bearing the label «pure new wool, machine washable, non-shrink».
Before loading the laundry
Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites may lose
their «whiteness» in the wash.
New coloured items may run in the fi rst wash; they should
therefore be washed separately the fi rst time.
Make sure that no metal objects are left in the laundry (e.g. hair
clips, safety pins, pins). Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners,
hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.
Remove persistent stains before washing. Rub particularly
soiled areas with a special detergent or detergent paste.
Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or tie them
up in a bag or net.
Maximum Loads
Recommended loads are indicated in the «Programme
Table».
General rules:
Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed;
Synthetics: drum no more than half full;
Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more than one third full.
Washing a maximum load makes the most effi cient use of
water and energy. For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load
size.

Laundry weights
The following weights are indicative:
bathrobe 1200 g
napkin 100 g
quilt cover 700 g
sheet 500 g
pillow case 200 g
tablecloth 250 g
towelling towel 200 g
tea cloth 100 g
night dress 200 g
ladies’ briefs 100 g
man’s work shirt 600 g
man’s shirt 200 g
man’s pyjamas 500 g
blouse 100 g
man’s underpants 100 g
Removing Stains
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and detergent. It is therefore advisable to treat them prior to washing.
Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried stains, soak
overnight in water with a special detergent then rub in the
soap and water.
Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain remover, lay the
garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain; treat several times.
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay the garment
on a soft surface and dab the stain with the fi ngertips and a
cotton cloth.
Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust removing
product used cold. Be careful with rust stains which are not
recent since the cellulose structure will already have been
damaged and the fabric tends to hole.
Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whites and fast
coloureds only).
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and fast
coloureds only).
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone (*), lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat stains
with methylated spirits. Remove any residual marks from
white fabrics with bleach.
Red wine:
tic or citric acid, then rinse. Treat any residual marks with bleach.
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric fi rst with
acetone (*), then with acetic acid; treat any residual marks on
white fabrics with bleach and then rinse thoroughly.
Tar stains: fi rst treat with stain remover, methylated spirits or
benzine, then rub with detergent paste.
(*) do not use acetone on artifi cial silk.

Washing Hints, continued
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 upset the
delicate balance of nature.
The choice of detergent will depend on the type of fabric
(delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the colour, washing temperature and degree of soiling.
All commonly available washing machine detergents may be
used in this appliance:
• powder detergents for all types of fabric,
• powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C max) and
woollens,
• liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature wash
programmes (60°C max) for all types of fabric, or special
for woollens only.
The detergent and any additives must be placed in the appropriate compartments of the dispenser drawer before starting the wash programme.
Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer compartment
«Detergent Wash» just before starting the programme.
Any fabric softener must be poured into the compartment
marked («Fabric Softener») before starting the wash
programme. Do not exceed the «MAX» mark in the detergent
dispenser drawer. Overfi lling can cause early dispensing of the
fabric softener which could result in stained clothes.
Do not pour fabric softener directly on the wash load.
The bleaching agent (chlorine) can be used only for white
cotton and linen items. Pour it into the compartment marked
(«Liquid Bleach»). Do not exceed the «MAX» mark in the de-
tergent dispenser drawer. Overfi lling can cause early dispens-
ing of the bleach which could result in damaged clothes.
Do not pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the
load or into the drum. Fabric damage can occur.
Quantity of Detergent to be Used
The type and quantity of detergent will depend on the type of
fabric, load size, degree of soiling and hardness of the water
used. Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on
quantities to use.
Use less detergent if:
• you are washing a small load,
• the laundry is lightly soiled,
• large amounts of foam form during washing.
Degrees of Water Hardness
Water hardness is classifi ed in so-called «degrees» of hardness. Information on hardness of the water in your area can
be obtained from the relevant water supply company, or from
your local authority.
Degrees

Care and Cleaning
Descaling
The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good idea to
periodically use a water softening powder in the appliance.
Do this separately from any laundry washing, and according
to the softening powder manufacturer’s instructions. This will
help to prevent the formation of lime deposits.
Maintenance Wash
With the use of low temperature washes it is possible to get
a build up of residues inside the drum.
We recommend that a maintenance wash be performed on
a regular basis. To run a maintenance wash add a 1/2 cup of
liquid bleach to the detergent compartment of the dispenser
drawer and fi ll the bleach dispenser compartment to the Max
Fill level and run WITHOUT a clothes load selecting the Cot-
ton/Deep Clean programme at Sanitary (90°C).
IMPORTANT!
Before cleaning the appliance interior, unplug the electrical
power cord to avoid electrical shock hazards.

residue may remain on the drum. Remove this by wiping
the drum with a nonabrasive household cleanser. Rinse
thoroughly with water.
• Periodically, wipe dry the folds in the bottom of the fl exible
gasket to remove lint and other debris.
• The plastic drum vanes may become stained from fabric
dye. Clean these parts with a nonabrasive household
cleanser. This prevents dye transfer to future loads.
Cleaning The Dispenser Drawer
The washing powder and additive dispenser drawer should
be cleaned regularly:
• Remove the drawer by pulling the drawer out until it
stops. (Figure 1)
• Reach back into the left rear corner of the drawer cavity
and press down fi rmly on the lock tab (left rear portion of
the drawer). Pull out the drawer. (Figure 2). (Lock tab is
visible only after drawer has been pulled out).
Figure 3
• To clean the drawer opening, use a small brush to clean
the recess. Remove all residue from the upper and lower
parts of the recess. (Figure 4)
• Replace the insert pressing the “X” to lock it in place.
• Return the dispenser drawer.
Figure 4
External Cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and
water only, and then dry thoroughly.
Cleaning The Water Inlet Filter
If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime deposit,
the water inlet fi lter may become clogged. It is therefore a
good idea to clean it from time to time.
Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the water inlet hose. Clean
the fi lter using a hard bristle brush.
Tighten up the inlet hose.
The dangers of freezing
If the appliance is exposed to temperatures below 0°C, certain precautions should be taken.
• Pull out the plug from the power socket;
• Turn off the water tap.
Figure 1
• Remove the insert from the bleach and fabric softener
compartments. (Figure 3)
• Rinse the drawer and inserts with hot tap water to remove traces of accumulated powders and liquids. Large
amounts of fabric softener residue may indicate improper
dilution or more frequent cleaning is required.
Figure 2
• Unscrew the inlet hose.
• Place the end of the inlet hose in a bowl placed on the
fl oor and let water drain out.
• Screw the water inlet hose back on again.
• When you intend to start the appliance up again, make
sure that the room temperature is above 0°C.

Malfunction Possible Cause / Solution
Spinning starts late or the appliance does not spin:
No water is visible in the drum:
The drum light doesn’t work:
The message «PF» is displayed:
If you are unable to identify or solve the problem, contact our service centre.
Before telephoning, make a note of the model, serial number and purchase date of your appliance: the Service Centre will
require this information.
The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the laundry is not evenly
distributed in the drum. The laundry is redistributed by reverse rotation of the drum. This
may happen several times before the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can
resume. If, after 10 minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum, the
appliance will not spin. In this case, redistribute the load manually and select the spin
programme.
• Redistribute the laundry.
Appliances based on modern technology operate very economically using very little
water without affecting performance.
Please contact your local Service Centre.
A power supply break has probably occurred.
• Restart the appliance by pressing the button 8.

Installation Instruction
Unpacking
All transit bolts and packing must be removed before using
the appliance. You are advised to keep all transit devices
so that they can be refi tted if the appliance ever has to be
transported again.
1. After removing all the packaging, carefully lay the appliance
on its back. Use a rug, blanket or piece of cardboard to
protect the fl oor.
2. Remove the polystyrene base from the bottom and the
shipping plug.
3. Carefully return the appliance to an upright position.
4. With a suitable spanner unscrew and remove the following
from the rear of the appliance:
• 4 shipping bolts
• 4 spacers
• 3 plastic “P” clamps

5. Remove the power supply cable, the draining hose and the
inlet hose from the hose clips on the rear of the appliance.
6. Remove the 4 plugs from the literature pack located in the
drum and install them in the holes vacated by the packaging spacers.
Positioning
Install the appliance on a fl at hard fl oor. Make sure that air
circulation around the appliance is not impeded by carpets,
rugs etc. Check that the appliance does not touch the wall
or other kitchen units. Level the
appliance by raising or lowering
the feet. The feet may be tight to
adjust as they incorporate a self
locking nut, but the appliance
MUST be level and stable. Any
necessary adjustment can be
made with a spanner.
Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and displacement
of the appliance during operation. Never place cardboard,
wood or similar materials under the appliance to compensate
for any unevenness in the fl oor.
If necessary, check the setting with a spirit level. Improper
installation could cause an increase of vibration and noise,
especially during spinning phases.

Installation
Water inlet
Do not use the hose from your previous appliance to connect to
the water supply.
WARNING!
Do not place the inlet hose downwards. Angle the hose to the left
or right depending on the position
of your water tap.
1. Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring nut. After
positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten the ring nut
again to prevent water leaks.
2. Connect the hose to a tap with
a 3/4” thread. Always use the
hose supplied with the appliance. The inlet hose must
not be lengthened. If it is too
short and you do not wish to
move the tap, you will have to
purchase a new, longer hose
specially designed for this type
of use.
Water drainage
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:
In a sink drain pipe branch. This
branch must be above the trap
so that the bend is at least 60 cm
above the ground.
Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less than 60 cm
and not more than 90 cm. The end of the drain hose must
always be ventilated, i.e. the inside
diameter of the drain pipe must be
larger than the outside diameter of
the drain hose.
The drain hose must not be kinked.
Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plastic hose guide supplied
with the appliance. In this case,
make sure the end cannot come
unhooked when the machine is
emptying. This could be done by
tying it to the tap with a piece of
string or attaching it to the wall.

Ecological tips
To save water, energy and to help protect the environment,
we recommend that you follow these tips:
• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order to save detergent, water and time (the
environment is protected too!).
• The appliance works more economically if it is fully loaded.
• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling
can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a
lower temperature.
• Measure out detergent according to the water hardness,
the degree of soiling and the quantity of laundry being
washed.
