ENGLISH 4

Installation

• A qualified and competent person must do
the electrical and the plumbing installation.

• This appliance is heavy. Take care when
you move it.

• Make sure that the appliance is not dam­aged because of transport. Do not connect
a damaged appliance. If necessary, con­tact dedicated After Sales Service.

• Remove all packaging and transit bolts be­fore first use. Serious damage can occur to
the appliance or to neighbouring cabinets
or furniture.

• Keep all transit devices so that they can be
refitted if the appliance ever has to be
transported again. Please refer to the rele­vant steps in the Assembly Instruction.

• Never place cardboard, wood or similar
materials under the appliance to compen­sate for any unevenness in the floor.
Level accurately the appliance and tight
the lock nuts to prevents vibration, noise
and displacement of the appliance during
operation.

• If your appliance is installed on a carpeted
floor, adjust the feet in order to ensure that
the air must circulate freely under the ap­pliance.

• Check that your appliance is not standing
on the inlet and drain hose and the work­top or the back of the appliance is not
pressing the electrical supply cable against
the wall.

• Always be sure, that there is no water
leakage from hoses and their connections
after the installation.

• If the appliance is installed in a location
subject to frost, please read the “dangers
of freezing” chapter.

Use

• The appliance is only for domestic use. Do
not use the appliance for commercial and
industrial use or for other uses.

• Only an authorised service engineer can
repair this appliance. Use only original
spare parts.

• Refer to the instructions on the label of
each item (garment) before washing.

• Do not overload the appliance. See the
Washing Programme Table.

• Before washing, ensure that all pockets are
empty and buttons and zips are fastened.

• Any objects such as coins, safety pins, nails,
screws, stones or any other hard, sharp
material can cause extensive damage and
must not be placed into the appliance.

• Treat stains such as paint, ink, rust, and
grass before washing.

• Only use the advised quantities of fabric
softener and detergent. Damage to the
fabric can ensue if you overfill. Refer to the
manufacturer’s recommendations of quan­tities.

• Wash small items such as socks, laces,
washable belts etc. in a washing bag or
pillow case as it is possible for such items
to slip down between the tub and the inner
drum.

• Do not use your appliance to wash articles
with whalebones, items without hems,
frayed and torn. Underwired bras must
NOT be washed.

• Garments which have been in contact with
volatile petroleum products should not be
appliance washed. If volatile cleaning flu­ids are used, care should be taken to en­sure that the fluid is removed from the gar­ment before placing in the appliance.

• The water we use normally contains lime. It
is a good idea to periodically use a water
softening powder in the appliance. Do this
without any laundry into the drum and ac­cording to the softening powder manufac­turer’s instructions. This will help to prevent
the formation of lime deposits making your
appliance more efficiency.

• Never pull the power supply cable to re­move the plug from the socket; always
take hold of the plug itself.

• Never use the appliance if the power sup­ply cable, the control panel, the working
surface or the base is damaged so that the
inside of the appliance is accessible.

Water inlet

• This appliance must be connected to a
cold water supply.

ENGLISH 5

• Do not use connection hoses from an old
appliance to connect it to the water supply.

• The water pressure must be in the limits
(refer to the chapter «Technical data» ta­ble). Make sure that the local water au­thority gives you the average mains pres­sure in your area.

• Make sure that there are no kinks in the
water inlet hose and that the water inlet
hose is not squashed or entangled.

• Before connecting up the appliance to new
pipework or to pipework that has not been
used for some time, run off a reasonable
amount of water to flush out any debris
that may have collected in the pipes.

• Turn the inlet hose on the back of the ap­pliance to the left or the right to suit the in­stallation.

• 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.

• Before opening the water tap, be sure to
tighten the ring nut well to prevent any
leaks.

Water drainage

• Make sure the end of the drain hose can­not come unhooked when the appliance is
emptying. This could be done by tying it to
the tap with a piece of string or attaching it
to the wall.

• The drain hose must be placed at a height
of not less than 44 cm and not more than
90 cm. Please refer to the Assembly In­struction booklet.

Care and cleaning

• Before maintenance, switch off the appli­ance and disconnect the mains plug from
the mains socket.

• Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance
with soap and water only, and then dry
thoroughly.

• The washing powder and additive dis­penser drawer should be cleaned regular­ly.

• Inspected the pump regularly and particu­larly if:
– the appliance does not empty and/or

spin

– the appliance makes an unusual noise

during draining due to objects such as
safety pins, coins etc. blocking the pump.

• Never remove the pump cover during a
wash cycle. Always wait until the appli­ance has drained out the water. If you
have selected an high temperature wash­ing programme please wait until the water
has cooled down.

Helpful hints and tips

Sorting out 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.

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
stain remover product 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 fingertips 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
(white cottons and fast coloureds only).
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach
(white cottons and fast coloureds only).
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with ace-

tone

1)

, lay the garment on a soft cloth and
dab the stain.
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then
treat stains with methylated spirits. Treat any
residual marks with bleach.
Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse
and treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse.
Treat any residual marks with bleach.
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten

the fabric first with acetone

1)

, then with acetic
acid; treat any residual marks on white fab­rics with bleach and then rinse thoroughly.
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, me­thylated spirits or benzine, then rub with de­tergent paste.

Degrees of water hardness

Water hardness is classified 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.

Characteristic

Degrees of water hardness

German °dH French °T.H.

Soft 0-7 0-15

Medium 8-14 16-25

Hard 15-21 26-37

Very hard > 21 > 37

A water softener must be added when water has a medium-high degree of hardness. Fol­low the manufacturer’s instructions. The quantity of detergent can then always be adjus-

ted (reduced) to degree of hardness soft.

1) do not use acetone on artificial silk

Care and cleaning

Warning! Switch the appliance off

before you carry out any cleaning or

maintenance work.

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:

• The drum should be empty of laundry.

• Select the hottest cotton wash programme.

• Use a normal measure of detergent, must

be a powder with biological properties.

Cleaning the dispenser drawer and the
drawer recess

1

To remove the
drawer, press the
catch downwards
and pull it out.

2

To aid cleaning, re­move also the top
part of the additive
compartment.

3

Use a stiff brush to
clean and remove
all washing powder
residue.

4 Flush out all the re-

moved parts of the
dispenser drawer
under a tap to re­move any traces of
accumulated pow­der.

5

Use the previous
brush to clean the
recess, ensuring that
upper and lower
part of it is well
cleaned.
After having
cleaned the dispens­er and the drawer
recess, replace it
and run a rinse pro­gramme without any
laundry in the drum
to flush away any
residue.

nearby to dry up
spillage of water
when removing the
pump.

5

Remove any objects
from the pump im­peller by rotating it.

6

Use a pencil to check whether the pump
wheel right at the back of the pump hous­ing can turn. (It is normal for the pumping
wheel to turn jerkily.) If the pumping wheel
cannot be turned, please contact the After
Sales Service.

Cleaning the water inlet filters

If the appliance takes long to fill with water
or doesn't fill, the starting button indicator
light blinks in red. Check if the water inlet fil­ters are blocked (see chapter "What to do
if..." for more details).
Proceed as follows:

ENGLISH 19

1 • Turn off the water

tap.

• Unscrew the hose
from the tap.

•Clean the filter in
the hose with a
stiff brush.

•Screw firmly the
inlet hose back

3

35°

45°

•Screw the hose
back to the appli­ance turning it to
the left or the right
to suit the installa­tion. Tight the
locknut correctly
to prevent water
leaks.

• Turn on the water
tap.

The dangers of freezing

If the appliance is exposed to temperatures
below 0°C, certain precautions should be
taken.

• Turn off the water tap.

• Unscrew the inlet hose.

• Place the end of the emergency emptying
hose and that of the inlet hose in a bowl
placed on the floor and let water drain out.

• Screw the water inlet hose back on and re­position the emergency emptying hose af­ter having put the cap on again.

• When you intend to start the appliance up
again, make sure that the room tempera­ture is above 0°C.

Emergency emptying out

If the water is not discharged, proceed as fol­lows to empty out the appliance:

• pull out the plug from the power socket;

• close the water tap;

• if necessary, wait until the water has
cooled down;

• open the pump door;

• place a bowl on the floor and place the
end of the emergency emptying hose into
the bowl. Remove its cap. The water
should drain by gravity into the bowl.
When the bowl is full, put the cap back on
the hose. Empty the bowl. Repeat the pro­cedure until water stops flowing out;

• clean the pump if necessary as previously
described;

• replace the emergency emptying hose in
its seat after having plugged it;

• screw the pump cover again and close the
door.

What to do if…

The start of the appliance does not occur or it
stops during operation.
First try to find a solution to the problem (re­fer to the table). If not, contact the service
centre.

Problem Possible cause Solution

The appliance
spinning phase
starts late or
does not start:

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.

Redistribute the load manually or
load more laundry and select the
spin programme.

There is water
on the floor:

Too much detergent or unsuitable
detergent (creates too much foam)
has been used.

Reduce the detergent quantity or
use another one.

Check whether there are any leaks
from one of the inlet hose fittings. It
is not always easy to see this as the
water runs down the hose; check to
see if it is damp.

Check the water inlet hose connec­tion.

The drain or inlet hose is damaged. Replace it with a new one (check

with the After Sales Service the right
spare part number).

new, longer hose specially designed for this
type of use.

Water drainage

A

If you connect the
water drain hose to
a water trap under
the sink, remove the
plastic membrane
(A). If you do not re­move the mem­brane, detergent
residue and clothes
fluff can cause a
