3. PRACTICAL TIPS

WARNING: when sorting laundry, make sure:

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

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

- to have removed rollers, hooks or clips from 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 recommend you avoid the spinning cycle.

! To wash wool, make sure the item can be

machine washed. Check the fabric label.

A guide environmentally friendly and economic use of your appliance.

Maximise The Load Size

! Achieve the best use of energy, water,

detergent and time by using the recommended maximum load size. Save up to 50% energy by washing a full load instead of 2 half loads.

Do you need to pre-wash?

! For heavily soiled laundry only!

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

Is a hot wash required?

! Pretreat stains with 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.

Before using a drying programme…

! SAVE energy and time by selecting a

high spin speed to reduce the water content in laundry before using a drying programme.

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

Load tips

Helpful suggestions for the user

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. To maintain a good wash performance we recommend that the soap drawer and pump filters are regularly cleaned. A monthly service wash, using a proprietary cleaner is also recommended.

! 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.

! Ensure the siphon cap is correctly

refitted.

! The washing machine comes with a

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

! Only available on certain models: pull out

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

! Ensure all the water has been emptied

from the drum.

! Before unscrewing the filter, we

recommend you place an absorbent cloth under it to keep the floor dry. A small amount of water will come out of the filter as you remove it - this is normal.

! Turn the filter counter-clockwise to the

limit stop.

! Remove and clean the filter; when

finished, replace it turning it clockwise. The filter handle will be locked when it is not possible to turn any further and the handle is horizontal. Smearing a small amount of liquid soap on the filter seal will help refitting.

! Repeat the previous steps in reverse

order to reassemble all parts.

! Should the washing machine be stored in

an unheated room for a long period of time, drain all water from tubes.

! Unplug the washing machine.

! Detach the tube from the drainage

system and clip on the rear of the machine and lower it, fully draining water into a bowl.

! Secure the drain tube with the drainage

system and clip on the rear of the machine when finished.

! Keep the door glass and gasket clean.

To clean different types of fabrics and various levels of dirt, the washing machine has specific programs to meet every need of washing (see table of programmes).

WASHING Active Steam

This exclusive programme uses a steam treatment that allows you to reduce and relax the creases reaching the ideal moisture level easier ironing. Through a dedicated button it’s possible to select three different levels of intensity, customizing for dry or wet items, and accordingly on the type of fabric.

ALL IN ONE technology

This washing machine is equipped with an innovative system with an high pressure jet that sprays a mixture of water and detergent directly into the load. The special motor movement used in this machine manages the drum movement during the start up of each programme, in conjunction with the high pressure jet spraying the detergent mixture into the load, the cycle includes a set of spin actions that helps the detergent solution to penetrate into the fibers, helping dirt removal and ensuring the best available wash performance. The ALL IN ONE system is also used during the water load phases where the high pressure jet aids the complete removal of detergent residues trapped in the clothes.

Mixed All In One

This programme allows you to wash different type’s fabrics and different colours all together. The rotational movement of the drum and the water levels are optimized during the washing and rinsing phases. The accurate spin action, ensures a reduced formation of creases in the fabrics. Thanks to ALL IN ONE technology, a complete washing cycle optimization is possible.

IMPORTANT WASH PERFORMANCE ADVICE:

! New, coloured garments should be

washed separately for at least 5 or 6 washes.

! Certain large dark items such as jeans

and towels should always be washed separately.

! Never mix NON COLOURFAST fabrics.

All Delicates

9. THROUBLESHOOTING AND WARRANTY

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. To remove the zeolites, select a rinse programme. In the future consider using slightly less detergent.

- foam in the water at last rinse: this does not necessary indicate poor rinsing. Consider using less detergent in future washes.

- 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. We suggest conducting a maintenance wash using a proprietary cleaner.

If the problem persists or if you suspect a malfunction, immediately contact an Authorised Customer Service Centre.
