Disposal

Tips for environmental protection

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.

• 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.

Installation

Unpacking

All transit bolts and packing must be removed

before using the appliance.

You are advised to keep all transit devices so that they can be refitted if the machine ever has to be transported again.

1. Using a spanner, unscrew and remove the two rear bottom screws. Slide out the two plastic pins. Lay the machine on its back, taking care not to squash the hoses. This can be avoided by placing one of the corner packing pieces between the machine and the floor.

2. Remove the polystyrene blocks from the bottom of the machine and release the two plastic bags.

3. Very carefully slide out the left polythene bag, removing it towards the right and then downwards.

4. Very carefully slide out the right polythene bag, removing it towards the left and then upwards.

P1127

P1126

P1123

P0001

P1129

5. Set the machine upright and remove the remaining rear screw. Slide out the relevant pin.

6. Plug all the holes with the plugs which you will find in the envelope containing the instruction manual.

Positioning

Install the machine on a flat hard floor. Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that the machine does not touch the wall or other kitchen units. Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in or out. Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor.

Water inlet

The inlets on the back of the appliance are colour coded, blue for cold and red for hot. Connect the red marked hose to hot water and the other hose to cold water tap.

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.

P0021

P1088

P1051

P0002

P1128

Page 6

The inlet hoses must not be lengthened. If they are too short and you do not wish to move the taps, you will have to purchase new, longer hoses specially designed for this type of use.

Important !

The highest allowed temperature of hot water is 60°C. If your water supply is hotter than the required temperature, you must fit a tempering valve, available from plumbing supply outlets. High water temperatures may damage the inlet hoses and valves, which is not covered by warranty.

Water drainage

The end of the drain hose can be positioned in four 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. Floor drain: the washing machine should be installed where a floor drain or hole is located (depending on plumbing regulations). A floor drain is required to drain away water which may overflow from the washing machine due to a hose leak or malfunction.

P0022

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

The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4 metres. An additional drain hose and joining piece is available from your local Service Centre.

Electrical connection

Plug the washing machine into a properly earthed 3 pin power point.

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.

CAUTION ! If the appliance is supplied from a cord extension set or an electrical portable outlet device, the cord extension set or electrical portable outlet device must be positioned so that it is not subject to splashing or ingress of moisture.

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

IMPORTANT!

If the electrical cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the Manufacturer, Authorised Service Agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

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.

Temperatures

90°

for normally soiled white cottons and linen (e.g. tea cloths, towels, tablecloths, sheets...)

60° 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), mixed

30°-40° laundry including synthetic fibres and

woollens. The wool wash cycle of this machine has been approved by Woolmark for the washing of machine washable Woolmark products provided that the garments are washed according to the instructions on the garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this washing machine. Licence No. M9604.

Before loading the laundry

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.

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.

Laundry weights

The following weights are indicative:

bathrobe 1200 g

napkin 100 g

quilt cover 700 g

sheet 500 g

pillow case 200 g

tablecloth 250 g

towelling towel 200 g

tea towel 100 g

night dress 200 g

ladies’ briefs 100 g

man’s work shirt 600 g

man’s shirt 200 g

man’s pyjamas 500 g

blouse 100 g

men’s underpants 100 g

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.

Page 12

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

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

Concentrate and liquid detergent can also be measured into the specially designed dosing device/ball which should be placed on top of the laundry and at the back of the machine drum.

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.

Quantity of detergent to be used

The quantity of detergent will depend on the 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.

Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on quantities to use.

Not enough washing powder causes:

– the washload to turn gray,

– greasy clothes.

Too much washing powder causes:

– sudsing,

– reduced agitation and washing effect,

– inadequate rinsing,

Use less detergent if:

– you are washing a small load,

– the laundry is lightly soiled,

– large amounts of foam form during washing.

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 fastness, 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 compact (concentrate) or liquid detergents, a programme without prewash must be selected.

Page 13

7. At the end of the programme

The machine stops automatically.

45 S 508 D - 45 S 551 D

If you have selected a programme which ends with the water of the last rinse left in the tub (programmes G - H - K - L - M), drain the water before opening the door. Select programme “N” (drain) or “J” (short spin).

45 S 651 D

If you have selected option

the water of the last rinse must be emptied out by selecting programme “N” (drain) or by depressing button again (after draining, the spin will performed).

Wait one or two minutes before opening the door to give the electric locking mechanism time to release it.

This is a safety feature to ensure that the wash bowl has finished spinning.

Depress the ON/OFF button again to switch the machine off. The mains on light goes out.

Remove the laundry.

Turn the drum by hand to make sure it is completely empty, so as to avoid any forgotten items being damaged in a subsequent wash (e.g. shrinking) or their colour running into a load of whites.

Release any buttons which have been pressed.

Turn the water taps off and unplug the machine.

Leave the door ajar to air the machine.

Important!

• Programme H for synthetics and K for wool begin with a short drain, then the programme selector dial advances automatically to the water filling position.

• We suggest you not to switch the appliance off and on during its operation. This would modify the memorised programme in progress with unsatisfactory washing results.

• On models 45 S 508 D and 45 S 551 D the water of the last rinse of these programmes remains in tub to prevent fabrics from creasing. To drain water, select programme J or N.

• On model 45 S 651 D the water of the last rinse is emptied out automatically and a short spin follows after draining. If anti-crease option has been selected, the water of the last rinse remains in tub. To drain, select programme “N”, to drain and spin depress button again.

Maintenance

Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply.

After each wash

Leave the door open for a while. This helps to prevent mould and stagnant smells forming inside the appliance. Keeping the door open after a wash will also help to preserve the door seal.

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.

Door seal

Check from time to time the door seal and eliminate eventual possible objects that could be trapped in the fold.

Cabinet

Clean the outside of the machine with warm water and a detergent used to handwash dishes. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.

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

Detergent dispenser drawer

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

P1050

To remove the drawer from the machine, press the button in the rear left-hand corner.

45 S 508 D 45 S 551 D - 45 S 651 D

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

45 S 508 D 45 S 551 D - 45 S 651 D

Clean the drawer by rinsing it under a running tap.

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

Emergency emptying out

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

• pull out the plug from the power socket;

• close the water taps;

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

• place a bowl on the floor under the filter;

• slightly loosen the filter to let the water come out slowly;

• at the end screw the filter again.

The dangers of freezing

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

• Close the water taps and unscrew the water inlet hoses from the taps.

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

• Select programme “N” (draining) and run it until the machine stops.

• Switch the machine OFF by depressing the ON/OFF button .

• Screw the water inlet hoses back on and put the drain 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.

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.

Water inlet filters

If you notice that the machine is taking longer to fill, check that the filters in the water inlet hoses are not blocked.

Turn off the water taps.

Unscrew the hoses from the taps.

Clean the filters with a stiff brush.

Screw the hose back onto the taps.

Trouble-Shooting Guide

Problem Possible cause

• The machine does not start up:

• The door is not firmly closed.

• The machine is not plugged in or there is no power at the socket.

• The main fuse has blown.

• The programme selector dial is not positioned correctly.

• The ON/OFF button has not been depressed.

• The machine does not fill:

• The water taps are closed.

• The inlet hoses are squashed or kinked.

• The filter in the inlet hoses is blocked.

• The door is not properly 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:

• The drain hose is squashed or kinked.

• A programme which ends with water in the drum has been selected (45 S 508 D - 45 S 551 D).

• Option has been selected (45 S 651 D).

• The drain filter is clogged.

• 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 hoses; check to see if it is damp.

• The drain hose is damaged.

• 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.

• The machine vibrates or is noisy:

• The transit bolts and packing have not been removed.

• The support feet have not been adjusted.

• The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.

• Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.

• The door will not open:

• The programme is still running.

• The door lock has not been released.

• There is water in the drum.

Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out an engineer. Before contacting your local Service Centre, please carry out the checks listed below.

Problem Possible cause

• Spinning starts late or the laundry is not spun enough:

• 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 20 minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will not spin. If at the end of the programme the laundry is not spun enough, redistribute the load manually and select the spin programme.

• No water is visible in the drum

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

• 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.
