Tips for environmental protection

Child safety

• Children are often not aware of the dangers of
electrical appliances. When the machine is
working, children should be carefully supervised
and not allowed to play with the appliance.

• The packaging components (e.g. plastic film,
polystyrene) can be dangerous to children ­suffocation! Keep them out of children’s reach.

• Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children’s
reach.

• When the appliance is to be scrapped, pull the plug
out of the socket, cut off the electrical supply cable
and destroy the plug with the remaining cable.
Disable the door catch in order to prevent children
from becoming trapped inside while playing.

Packaging materials

The materials marked with the symbol are
recyclable.

>PE< polyethylene
>PS< polystyrene
>PP< polypropylene

This means that they can be recycled by disposing of
them properly in appropriate collection containers.

Machine

Use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance.
Help to keep your country tidy!

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 machine works more economically if it is fully
loaded.

• When small loads are washed, use only half to two
thirds of the recommended amount of detergent.

• 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.

Water inlet

Connect the water inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4"
thread after having inserted the small filter “A”
supplied with the machine.
The other end of the inlet hose which connects to the
machine can be turned in any direction. Simply
loosen the fitting, rotate the hose and retighten the
fitting, making sure there are no water leaks.

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:

Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plastic
hose guide supplied with the machine. 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.

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.

P0022

P0021

A

P0003

The drain hose must not be kinked. Run it along the
floor; only the part near the drainage point must be
raised.

Electrical connection

This machine is designed to operate on a 220-230 V,
single-phase, 50 Hz supply.

Check that your domestic electrical installation can
take the maximum load required (2.2 kW), also
taking into account any other appliances in use.

Connect the machine to an earthed socket, in
accordance with current wiring regulations.

The manufacturer declines any responsibility
for damage or injury through failure to comply
with the above safety precaution.

Should the appliance power supply cable
need to be replaced, this should be carried
out by our Service Centre.

Your new washing machine

Your new washing machine meets all modern requirements for effective treatment of laundry with low water,
energy and detergent consumption.

• Programme and temperature setting using the
programme selector.

• Programme progress display showing the
programme steps selected and the programme
phase which is running.

• Automatic cooling of the wash water before
draining prevents distortion of plastic pipes in the
domestic water system due to the high
temperature of the water and reduces thermal
shock to fabrics, helping to prevent creasing.

• The special wool programme with its new
delicate wash system treats your woollens with
extreme care.

• The balance control device ensures that the
washing machine remains stable when spinning.

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.

• Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites
may lose their “whiteness” in the wash.

• New coloured items may run in the first wash; they
should therefore be washed separately the first
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.

Temperatures

60°-95° for normally soiled white cottons and

linen (e.g. tea cloths, towels,
tablecloths, sheets...)

60°-50° for normally soiled, colour fast

garments (e.g. shirts, night dresses,

pyjamas....) in linen, cotton or synthetic

fibres and for lightly soiled white cotton
(e.g. underwear).

Cold for delicate items (e.g. net curtains),

30°-40° mixed laundry including synthetic fibres

and woollens bearing the label «pure
new wool, machine washable, non­shrink».

Maximum loads

Recommended loads are indicated in the
programme charts.

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 efficient

use of water and energy.
For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.

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 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 (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: 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 (*), 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.

(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk.

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.

If using concentrated powder or liquid detergents, a
programme without prewash must be selected.

The washing machine incorporates a recirculation
system which allows an optimal use of the
concentrated detergent.

Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer
compartment marked just before starting the
programme.

Any fabric softener or starching additives must be
poured into the compartment marked before
starting the wash programme.

Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations
on quantities to use and do not exceed the «MAX»

mark in the detergent dispenser drawer.

14

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.

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.

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.

1. Bodywork

Clean the outside of the machine with warm water
and a neutral, non-abrasive household detergent.
Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.

Important: do not use methylated spirits, solvents or
similar products to clean the bodywork.

2. Detergent dispenser drawer

After a while, detergents and fabric softeners leave
deposits in the drawer.

Clean the drawer from time to time by rinsing it under
a running tap. To remove the drawer from the
machine, press the button in the rear left-hand
corner.

To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the additive
compartment can be removed.

Detergent can also accumulate inside the drawer
recess: clean it with an old toothbrush. Refit the
drawer after cleaning.

3. Drain filter

The drain filter collects threads and small objects
inadvertently left in the laundry. Check regularly that
the filter is clean.

Open the filter door.
Place a container under the filter and unscrew it.

Pull out the filter.
Clean the filter under a running tap, then refit it,

screwing it fully in.

4. Water inlet filter

If you notice that the machine is taking longer to fill,
check that the filter in the water inlet hose is not
blocked.

Turn off the water tap.
Unscrew the hose from the tap and remove the filter.
Clean it with a stiff brush.
Refit the filter and screw the hose back onto the tap.

5. Emergency emptying out

If the water is not discharged (outlet pump is
blocked, filter or outlet hose are clogged), proceed
as follows to empty out the machine:

• pull out the plug from the power socket;

• close the water tap;

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

• place a bowl on the floor;

• put the outlet hose end into the bowl and let the
water come out.

Should it not be possible to have access to the outlet
hose because, for example, the appliance is built in
the kitchen furniture, slightly loosen the outlet filter
after placing a bowl on the floor, to let the water
come out slowly.

At the end screw the filter again.

6. Frost precautions

If the machine is installed in a place where the
temperature could drop below 0°C, proceed as
follows:

• Close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet
hose from the tap.

• Place the end of the outlet hose and that of the
inlet hose in a bowl placed on the floor.

• Select the draining programme (PUMP OUT) and
run it until the machine stops.

• Switch the machine off.

• Remove the plug from the socket.

• Screw the water inlet hose back on and put the
outlet hose back in its place.

By doing this, any water remaining in the machine is
removed, avoiding the formation of ice and,
consequently, breakage of the affected parts.

When you use the machine again, make sure that
the ambient temperature is above 0°C.

Something not working?

Problem Possible cause

• The machine does not start up:

• The machine does not fill:

• Check that the water tap is open.

• Check that water is coming out of the tap.

• Check that the inlet hose is not squashed or kinked.

• Check that the filter in the inlet hose is not blocked.

• Check that the door is closed.

• The machine fills then empties
immediately:

• The end of the drain hose is too low. Refer to
relevant paragraph in “water drainage” section.

• The machine does not empty
and/or does not spin:

• There is water on the floor:

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

• 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 that the drain hose is not damaged.

• The machine vibrates or is
noisy:

• Check that all the transit bolts and packing have been
removed.

• Check that the machine is not resting against
anything.

• Check that the support feet are resting firmly on the
ground.

• Check that the laundry is evenly distributed in the
drum.

• Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.

• Check that the drain hose is not squashed or kinked.

• A programme with the RINSE HOLD option has been
selected .

• The drain filter is clogged. Clean it.

• Check that the door is firmly closed.

• Check that the machine is plugged in and that there
is power at the socket.

• Check that the main fuse has not blown.

• Check that the programme selector dial is positioned
correctly.

• Check that the START/PAUSE button has been
depressed.

In the event of operating problems, you are advised to read the following chart carefully before calling the
service centre.

During machine operation the ALARM light, the light of the START/PAUSE button and one of the following
lights in the programme progress display may flash indicating that there are operating problems:

RINSE HOLD: problems with the water supply,
RINSES : problems with water draining,
MAIN WASH : door open.
Once the problem has been eliminated, press the START/PAUSE button to restart the programme.

• The door will not open:

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 machine: the Service Centre will require
this information.

• Unsatisfactory washing results:

• Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has
been used.

• Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to
washing.

• The correct temperature was not selected.

• Excessive laundry load.

• Detergent residue is left after the
wash cycle:

• This is most problaby due to non soluble
components contained in modern detergents. It is
not a sign of inadequate rinsing.
Brush or shake the garments and, if necessary,
rinse them again.

• Foam remains after the last
rinse:

• Modern detergents can produce foam even after
rinsing, but this will not affect the quality of the
wash.

• Spinning starts late or laundry is
not completely spun at the end
of the programme:

• 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 15 minutes, the laundry is still not
evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will spin
at a reduced speed.

• The machine makes an unusual
noise:

• The machine is fitted with a type of motor which
makes an unusual noise compared with other
traditional motors. This new motor ensures a softer
start and more even distribution of the laundry in
the drum when spinning, as well as increased
stability of the machine.

• No water is visible in the drum:

• Machines based on modern technology operate
very economically using very little water without
affecting performance.
