• Follow the Manufacturer’s instructions.

• Plastic and rubber parts of the washing

machine can be stained by dyes or bleaches.

Loading the laundry

1.Open the door.

2.Load the articles one at a time loosely into the

drum, without overfilling. Observe the load

sizes given in the programme chart.

Note: overloading the machine will result in

unsatisfactory washing results and creased

laundry.

3.Close the door. Take care that no laundry gets

stuck between door and door seal.

DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES

Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry place out of the reach of children.

Do not use any solvents (e.g. turpentine, benzene); do not machine wash fabrics that have been treated with solvents or flammable liquids.

Only use detergents and/or additives that are specifically produced for domestic washing machines.

Observe the recommendations on the care labels of your laundry.

The choice of detergent depends on:

• Type of fabric

• Colour

• Recommended wash temperature

• Degree and type of soiling Laundry type Kind of detergent

White robust laundry (cold-95°C): White delicate laundry (cold-40°C):

Light /pastel- shaded colours (cold-60°C):

Intensive colours (cold60°C):

Black/dark colours (cold-60°C):

heavy duty detergents with bleach mild detergents with bleach and/or optical brighteners detergents with bleach and/or optical brighteners colour detergents without bleach/optical brighteners special detergents for black/dark laundry

For laundry requiring special treatment (e.g. wool or microfibres), we recommend to use specialized detergents, additives or pre-treatment available on the market. Refer to internet link www.cleanright.eu for more detailed information.

Do not use liquid detergent for the main wash when having activated the “Prewash” option. Do not use liquid detergent when selecting a later cycle start / cycle end (depending on the model).

Dosage

Follow the dosage recommendations on the detergent pack. They depend on:

• Degree and type of soiling

• Size of wash

- full load: follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions.

- half load: 3/4 the amount used for a full load.

- minimum load (about 1 kg): 1/2 the amount used for a full load. If there is no reference to a certain wash load on the detergent pack: the detergent manufacturers usually refer their dosing recommendations to

4.5 kg laundry for heavy duty detergent and

2.5 kg laundry for delicate detergent.

• Water hardness in your area (ask for

information from your water company). Soft water requires less detergent than hard water.

EN 5

Please note:

()

Too much detergent can result in excess foam formation, which reduces washing efficiency. If the washing machine detects too much foam, it may prevent spinning, or prolong the programme duration and increase the water consumption (see also remarks on foam formation in the “Troubleshooting Guide”). Insufficient detergent may result in grey laundry and also calcifies the heating system, drum and hoses.

Where to put detergent and additives

The detergent drawer has three chambers (fig. “A”).

Main Wash Chamber

• Detergent for the main wash

• Stain remover

• Water softener

Softener Chamber

• Fabric softener

• Liquid starch

Pour additives only up to the “MAX” mark.

Prewash Chamber

• Detergent for the prewash

• Fabric softener ONLY when using Colours 15° plus (if available)

If you use liquid detergent, close the dispenser right after having filled in the detergent.

Insert for the Main Wash Chamber (fig. B - only available for washing machine models with option “Colours 15° plus”):

This insert must be used in the main wash chamber if you activate option “Colours 15° plus” and you intend to use liquid detergent for the main wash.

IMPORTANT! This insert is suitable for liquid detergents only and must not be used for powder detergents.

If you always use liquid detergents for the main wash, you can leave the insert in the main wash chamber even when the option “Colours 15° plus” is not activated.

How to use the option “Colours 15° plus” (if available):

If you activate this option, you must

• add the insert to the main wash chamber only if you intend to use liquid detergent for the main wash (fig. C)

• pour liquid detergent into the insert placed in the main wash chamber (fig. D). If you use powder detergent, do not use the insert. Pour powder into the main wash chamber directly.

• pour liquid fabric softener to the prewash chamber (fig. E), according to the dosing recommendations indicated on the softener bottle.

• if you want your laundry to be soft, you can of course add liquid fabric softener to the softener chamber as well

EN 6

Using chlorine bleach

• Wash your laundry in the desired programme (Cotton, Synthetics),

adding an appropriate amount of chlorine bleach to the SOFTENER chamber (close the detergent dispenser carefully).

• Immediately after end of programme, start the “Rinse and Spin” programme to eliminate any residual bleach smell; if you want, you can add softener. Never put both chlorine bleach and softener into the softener chamber at the same time.

• Prefer to use bleaches on oxygen basis; in this case follow the instructions of the manufacturer.

Using starch

• Select the “Rinse and Spin” programme and check that the spin

speed is adjusted to not more than 800 rpm.

• Start the programme, pull out the detergent dispenser so that you can see approximately 3 cm of the softener chamber.

• Pour the starch solution prepared into the softener chamber while the water is running into the detergent dispenser.

DRAINING RESIDUAL WATER/

CLEANING THE FILTER

We recommend that you check and clean the filter regularly, at least two or three times a year, especially:

• If the “Clean pump” indication lights up.

• If the appliance is not draining properly or if it fails to

perform spin cycles.

If the washing machine stands in a room prone to frost, you have to drain residual water after each wash to avoid damages.

IMPORTANT: make sure the water has cooled before draining the appliance.

1. Stop the appliance and unplug it.

2. To open the plinth (depending on the model):

- Push down the tabs right and left (if available) to

release the plinth and remove it (picture “A”).

- Remove the plinth by using the siphon insert of the detergent dispenser: push downwards one side of the plinth with your hand, then push the siphon insert into the gap between plinth and front panel and pry open the plinth (picture “B”).

3. Place a container near the washing machine.

4. If your washing machine has an emergency drain hose:

- Unclip the emergency drain hose.

If there is no emergency drain hose: place a broad, flat container beneath the filter (picture “D”). Ignore steps 5-8 and proceed with 9.

5. Hold the emergency hose’s end into the container and remove the stopper (picture “C”).

6. Wait until all the water has drained, then refix the stopper at the hose’s end (picture “E”).

7. Refix the emergency drain hose (if available) to the clip.

8. Lay an absorbable cotton cloth (e.g. a towel) on the

floor in front of the filter.

9. Slowly open the filter by turning it counter-clockwise (picture “F”); wait until all the water has drained, then unscrew the filter completely and remove it.

10. Only for draining residual water: tilt the appliance forwards carefully (a second person must help you) to allow the water to flow out completely.

11. Only for cleaning the filter: clean the filter and the filter chamber; check that the pump rotor in the filter chamber moves freely.

12. Reinsert the filter and screw it in clockwise as far as it will go.

13. Pour about 1 litre of water into the detergent dispenser to reactivate the “Eco system”. Check that the filter is inserted properly and securely and no water comes out.

14. Reinstall the plinth (picture “G”); if necessary, tilt the washing machine slightly backwards for doing that (a second person must help you).

15. Plug in the washing machine. It is now ready for operation again.

Appliance exterior and control panel

• Wash down with a soft, damp cloth. Dry with a

soft cloth.

Appliance interior

• After each washing, leave the door open for some

time to allow the inside of the appliance to dry.

• If you never or seldom wash your laundry at

95 °C, we recommend to occasionally run a 95 °C programme without laundry, adding a small amount of detergent, to keep the interior of the appliance clean.

Do not use detergents containing solvents, scouring powder, glass or general purpose cleaners, and flammable fluids. They may harm the plastic surfaces or other parts.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser

1. Pull out the dispenser drawer until it stops. Press with your

finger on the small depression over the “PUSH” marking (fig. “A”) to release the drawer and pull it out completely.

2. Remove the siphon from the softener chamber by pulling it

upwards (fig. “B”). If available, also remove the insert for liquid detergent from the main wash chamber and remove the coloured siphon part (fig. “C”).

3. Wash all the parts under running water.

4. Clean the dispenser compartment with a damp cloth.

5. Refit the siphon in the softener chamber by pushing it down

until it stops; if your washing machine has an insert for liquid detergent, add the coloured siphon part to the insert again. Then push the dispenser drawer back into the dispenser compartment.

Filter

• Check and clean the filter regularly, at least two

or three times a year (see “Draining Residual Water/Cleaning The Filter”).

Water supply hose(s) (picture D, E or F - depending on model)

Check regularly for brittleness and cracks. In case of a damage, replace it by a new hose of the same type, available through our After-Sales Service or your specialist dealer.

If the inlet hose of your washing machine corresponds with the model on picture “E”, periodically check the safety valve inspection window: if it is red, the hose’s waterstop function was triggered, and the hose must be exchanged by a new one from our After-Sales Service or your specialist dealer. This model may have a release lever which must be pressed down while unscrewing the hose.

If your supply hose has a transparent hose coating (fig. “F”), periodically check the colour; if it intensifies locally, the hose may have a leak and should be replaced. Contact our After-Sales Service team or specialist dealer to obtain a replacement hose.

Cleaning the mesh filter in the water supply hose(s)

1. Close the tap and loosen the inlet hose on the tap.

2. Clean the internal mesh filter and screw the water inlet hose

back onto the tap.

3. Now unscrew the inlet hose on the rear of the washing machine.

4. Pull off the mesh filter from the washing machine connection

with universal pliers and clean it.

5. Refit the mesh filter and screw the inlet hose on again.

6. Turn on the tap and ensure that the connections are

completely water-tight.

Appliance does not start although “Start/Pause” has been pressed

Appliance stops during the programme, and the “Start/Pause” indicator blinks

Detergent dispenser contains residues from detergent and/or additives

Appliance vibrates during spin cycle

“Unbalance during spinning”

The “Spin/Drain” indicator in the programme flow bar blinks, or the spin speed on the display blinks, or the spin speed indicator blinks after the end of the programme (depending on the model). The laundry is still very wet.

Final spin results are poor • Unbalance during spinning prevented spin phase to protect the

• Plug is not properly inserted in socket.

• Socket or fuse does not function correctly (use a table lamp or similar

appliance to test it).

• Door is not properly closed.

• The “Child lock/Lock buttons” feature has been activated (if

available on your model). To unlock the buttons, push the two buttons marked with the key symbol simultaneously and hold them at least for 3 seconds. The key symbol on the display disappears and the programme can be started.

• “Rinse hold” is activated. Press “Start/Pause” to spin the laundry. For

draining the water without spinning, select “Drain” Programme (if available) or press the “Reset/Drain” button for at least 3 seconds.

• Programme has been changed - reselect desired programme and press “Start/Pause”.

• Programme has been interrupted and eventually door has been opened - close door and restart programme by pressing “Start/Pause”.

• The appliance’s safety system has been activated (see “Failure

indicators” in your programme chart).

• Water tap is not opened or water inlet hose is kinked or blocked (“Water tap closed” indicator blinks).

• Water entering is not enough; the mesh filters of the water supply could be blocked (see “Care And Maintenance”).

• Transport bolts have not been removed; before using the washing machine, it is imperative that the transport bolts are removed.

• Appliance is not level / not standing firmly on all four feet (see separate

“Installation Guide”).

Unbalance of the laundry load during spinning prevented the spin phase to avoid damages on the washing machine. This is why the laundry is still very wet. Reason for unbalance can be: small laundry loads (consisting of only few quite big or absorbent items, e.g. towels), or big/heavy laundry items.

• If possible avoid small laundry loads.

• It is highly recommended that you add other laundry items of different

sizes when washing a big or heavy piece of laundry.

If you want to spin the wet laundry, add more laundry items of different sizes, and subsequently select and start the “Rinse & Spin” programme.

Problem Causes, Solutions, Tips

The washing machine is at a standstill for several minutes in the middle of a running programme; the wash programme seems not to proceed

Detergent residues on laundry after wash

Programme duration is considerably longer or shorter as indicated in the “programme chart” or on the display (if available)

Normal function of the washing machine used for optimizing the rinse phase. One reason for such a pause can be that you might have used too much detergent; the washing machine automatically interrupts the programme to have the foam reduced. This standstill may be repeated several times until the foam reduction is sufficient to continue the wash cycle. If the foam persists, the red “Service” indicator will light up and the display shows “F18” or “Fod” - refer to the instructions concerning the “Service” indication on the next pages in this case.

Whitish residues on dark fabrics are caused by insoluble compounds used in phosphate-free powder detergents.

- avoid overdosing of detergent; use liquid detergent; select “Intensive

Rinse” option if possible; brush out the fabric. Normal function of the washing machine to adapt to factors that can have an effect on the programme duration, like excessive foam

formation, load unbalance due to heavy laundry items, prolonged heating time resulting from low inlet water temperature etc. Moreover, the sensing system of the washing machine adapts the programme duration to the size of the wash load. Depending on these factors, the duration is recalculated during the programme and updated if necessary; during such periods, an animation appears on the display (if available). For small loads, the programme time indicated in the “programme chart” may be reduced by up to 50%.

REMAINING MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE LAUNDRY AFTER SPINNING

The degree of moisture remaining in the laundry after spinning mainly depends on the fabric type, the selected programme and spin speed. The lowest remaining moisture content can be achieved using the wash programme referred to by the Energy Label, with maximum spin speed. This programme is marked in the separate programme chart as “Reference programme for the Energy Label”. Below a survey of the remaining moisture content (in %) related to the various spin-drying efficiency classes:

Spin-drying efficiency class Remaining moisture content in %

A (= most efficient) less than 45

B 45 or more, but less than 54

C 54 or more, but less than 63

D 63 or more, but less than 72

E 72 or more, but less than 81

SAVE ENERGY AND HELP PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

• You reach the best use of energy, water, detergent and time by running the programmes with the

maximum load size.

• Save energy by using a 60°C instead of a 95°C wash programme, or by using a 40°C instead of a 60°C

wash programme.

• Use “Prewash” for heavily soiled laundry only. Save detergent, time, water and energy by not selecting

“Prewash” for lightly or normally soiled laundry.

• Do not exceed the detergent dosages indicated in the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Select a high spin speed if you intend to dry your laundry in a tumble dryer, in order to reduce time and

energy for the drying process.

EXPLANATION OF THE ENERGY LABEL

(only for washing machines with Energy Label according to Directive 2010/30/EU)

The Energy Label contains information on performance and consumption of your washing machine: The bold black arrow marks the energy efficiency class (A+++ = most efficient / D = least efficient).
