When you set this option, we recommend that you decrease the quantity of the laundry. It is possible to keep the full load but the
washing results can be unsatisfactory. Recommended load: cotton: 4 kg, synthetics and delicates: 1,5 kg.

CONSUMPTION VALUES
Stated values are obtained in laboratory conditions with relevant standards. Different
causes can change the data: the quantity and type of laundry and ambient tempera‐
ture. Water pressure, the supply voltage and the temperature of inlet water may also
affect the washing programme duration.
Technical specifications may be changed without prior notice to improve the quality
of product.
At the start of the programme, the display shows the programme duration for the
maximum load capacity.
During the washing phase the programme duration is automatically calculated and
can be greatly reduced if the laundry load is lower than the maximum load capacity
(e.g. Cotton 60°C, maximum load capacity 8 kg, the programme duration exceeds 2
hours; actual load 1 kg, the programme duration will be less than 1 hour).
When the appliance is calculating the real programme duration a dot flashes in the
display.

HINTS AND TIPS
The laundry load
• Divide the laundry in: white, coloured,
synthetics, delicates and wool.
• Obey the washing instructions that are
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 times.
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,
hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.
• Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and
items with painted illustrations inside out.
• Remove hard stains with a special
detergent.
• Wash and pre-treat heavy soil stains
before putting items in drum
• Be careful with the curtains. Remove the
hooks and put the curtains in a washing
bag or pillowcase.
• 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, etc. ).
• A very small load can cause balance
problems with the spin phase. If this
occurs, adjust manually the items in the
tub and start the spin phase again.
• Avoid washing garments full of long
animal hair or poor quality garments
releasing lots of fluff that could block the
drain circuit and therefore requiring the
Service assistance.
• Empty the pockets and unfold the items.
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.
Detergents and additives
• Only use detergents and additives
specially made for washing machines:
– powder detergents for all types of
fabric,
– powder detergents for delicate
fabrics (40 °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.
• Do not mix different types of detergents.
• To help the environment, do not use
more than the correct quantity of
detergent.
• Obey the instructions that you find on
the on packaging of these products.
• Use the correct products for the type and
colour of the fabric, the programme
temperature and the level of soil.
• If your appliance does not have the
detergent dispenser with the flap device,
add the liquid detergents with a dosing
ball (supplied by the detergent's
manufacturer).
Ecological hints
• Always start a washing programme with
the maximum load of laundry allowed.
• If necessary, use a stain remover when
you set a programme with a low
temperature.
• To use the correct quantity of detergent,
check the water hardness of your
domestic system. Refer to "Water
hardness".
Stubborn stains
For some stains, water and detergent is not
sufficient.
21
Page 22
HINTS AND TIPS
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 know the water hardness in your area,
contact your local water authority.
Use the correct quantity of the water
softener. Obey the instructions that you find
on the packaging of the product.

CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
The appliance is intended for normal
household use only.
Read the chapter carefully for best
maintenance and care.
External cleaning
Clean the appliance with soap and warm
water only. Fully dry all the surfaces.
CAUTION!
Do not use alcohol, solvents or
chemical products.
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 prevent
limescale and rust particles.
To remove rust particles use only special
products for washing machines. Do this
separately from the laundry wash.
Always obey the instructions that you
find on the packaging of the product.
• Select the cotton programme with the
highest temperature with a small
quantity of detergent.
Door seal
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, in such a way
that there is no need by the customer to
access this area for regular maintenance
and cleaning.
Regularly examine the seal and remove all
objects from the inner part. Coins, buttons,
other small items forgotten in the pockets of
your clothes are deposited during the
washing cycle in the special double lip trap
in the porthole seal, where they can be
conveniently recovered at the end of the
cycle.
Cleaning the detergent
dispenser
Maintenance wash
With the low temperature programmes it is
possible that some detergent stays in the
