3. PRACTICAL TIPS

Load tips

WARNING: when sorting laundry, make

sure:

- have eliminated metallic objects such as
barrettes,pins, coins,from laundry;

- to have buttoned pillow cases, closed
zips, tied loose belts and long robe
ribbons;

- to have removed rollersfrom curtains;

- to have carefully read clothing washing
labels;

- to have removed any persistent stains
using specific detergents.

• When washing rugs, bedcovers or other

heavy clothing, we recommendyou avoid

centrifuging.

• To wash wool, make surethe item can be

machine washed and marked by the
"Pure virgin wool" symbol with the "Does
not mat"or "Machinewashable" label.

Helpful suggestions for the user

A guide environmentally friendly and
economicuse.of your appliance.

Maximise The Load Size

• Achieve the best use of energy, water,

detergent and time by using the
recommendedmaximumload size.
Save up to 50% energy by washing a full
load insteadof 2 half loads.

Do you need to pre-wash?

• For heavilysoiled laundryonly!

SAVE detergent, time, water and
between 5 to 15% energy consumption
by NOT selecting Prewash for slight to
normallysoiled laundry.

Is a hot wash required?

• Pretreat stainswith stain remover or soak
dried in stains in water before washing to
reduce the necessity of a hot wash

programme.
Save up to 50% energy by using a 60°C
wash programme.

Following is a quick guide with tips and
recommendationson detergent use at the
various temperatures. In any case, always
read the instructions on the detergent for
correct useand doses.

When washing heavily soiled whites,
we recommend using cotton
programs of 60°C or above and a

normal washing powder (heavy duty)
that contains bleaching agents that at
medium/high temperatures provide
excellent results.

For washes between 40°C and 60°C

the type of detergent used needs to be
appropriate for the type of fabric and

level of soiling.

Normal powders are suitable for "white"
or colour fast fabrics with high soiling,
while liquid detergents or "colour
protecting" powders are suitable for
coloured fabrics with light levels of
soiling.

For washing at temperatures below

40°C we recommend the use of liquid

detergents or detergents specifically

labeled as suitable for low temperature

washing.

For washing wool or silk, only use
detergents specifically formulated for
these fabrics.

4. MAINTENANCE AND
CLEANING

To clean the washing machine exterior, use
a damp cloth, avoiding abrasives, alcohol
and/or solvents. The washing machinedoes

not require any special care for ordinary
cleaning: clean drawer compartments and

the filter; some tips on how to move the

machine or on long periods of disuse are
providedbelow.

Drawer cleaning

• We recommend you clean the drawer to

avoid accumulating detergent and
additive residue.

• To do this, extract the drawer using slight

force, clean it with running water and
reinsert it in its housing.

Filter

cleaning

• The washing machine comes with a

special filter able to trap large residue,
such as buttons or coins, which could
clogthe drain.

• Only available on certain models: pullout

the corrugated hose, remove the stopper
and drainthe water into a container.

• Before unscrewing the filter, we

recommendyou place an absorbent cloth
under it to keep the floor dry.

• Turn the filter counter-clockwise to the
limit stop in the vertical position.

• Remove and clean the filter; when

finished, replace it turning it clockwise.

• Repeat the previous steps in reverse

orderto reassembleall parts.

•

Suggestio'ns for moves or
prolonged disuse

• Should the washing machine be stored in
an unheated room for a long period of

time, drain all water from tubes.

• Unplugthe washing machine.

• Detach the tube from the strap and lower
it,fully draining water into a bowl.

• Secure the drain tube withthe strap when

finished.

--------------------------C!J--------------------------

5. QUICK USER GUIDE

the indicator light will automatically show
the wash time set for that programme.

• Selecting a different wash time the
relevant indicator will light up.

EXTRA RINSE button

• This button allows you to add rinses at

the end of the washing cycle. The

maximum number of extra rinses is
related to the programme selected.

• This function has been studied for the
people with delicate and sensitive skin,

for which also a least residue of detergent

can cause irritations or allergies.

• It advises to also use this function for the
children items and in case of washings of

very dirty items, for which it is due to use
a lot of detergent, or in the washing of
toweling items whose fibres mostly have
the tendency to hold the detergent.

OPTIONS button

You can choose between three different
options:

- PREWASHING

• This option allows you to make a prewash
and it is particularly useful for heavily

soiled loads (can be used only on some

programmes as shown in the table of
programmes).

• We recommend you use only 20% of the
recommended quantities shown on the

detergent pack.

- HYGIENE

• With this option it is possible to hygienize

the clothes, the washing programme
reach a temperature of 60°C.

- NIGHT CYCLE

• This option reduces the intermediate spin

speed to 400 rpm, where applicable,
increase the water level during rinsing and
keepthe laundry immersed inwater afterthe
final rinse, in order to spread the fibre
sevenly.

• During the phase in which the water is

held in the tub, the relevant indicator light
blink to show that the machine is at a
standstill.

• Deselect the option to end the cycle with a

spin dry (which may be reducedor cancelled
using the appropriate button) and emptying
phase.

• Thanks to electronic control, the water

in the intermediate phases is emptied
silently, making this option very useful for
washing at night.

EASY IRON button

This function allows you to minimizes
creases as much as possible, eliminating
the intermediate spins or reducing the
intensity of the last one.

If you believe the washing machine is not working correctly, consult the quick guide

provided below with some practical tips on how to fix the most common problems.

---------------------------[!!J---------------------------

The use of ecological detergents without

phosphates may cause the following effects:

- cloudier rinse drain water:

This effect is
tied to the suspended zeolites which do
not have negative effects on rinse
efficiency.

- white powder (zeolites) on laundry at
the end of the wash:

this is normal, the
powder is not absorbed by fabric and
does not change its colour.

- foam in the water at last rinse:

this

does not necessary indicate poor rinsing.

- abundant foam:

This is often due to the

anionic surfactants found in the

detergents which are hard to eliminate
from laundry.

In this case, do not re-rinse to eliminate

these effects: it will not help at all.

If the problem persists or if you suspect a
malfunction, immediately contact the
