Tips for washing and energy saving

Before washing sort out the laundry according to

•

the type, degree of dirtiness and color resistance.

Prior selecting the washing program consult the

•

sewn tab with information on a particular piece
of laundry (see Maintenance chart on the last
page).

Wash separately the new colored textile products

•

for the rst time.

Wash heavily soiled laundry in small quantities

•

and add more detergent.

Treat stubborn stains with special stain remover, it

•

will save energy.

For lightly stained laundry select washing program

•

without pre-wash, use short program and select
lower washing temperature. This way you may
save up to 50% of energy.

Avoid washing too little quantities of laundry

•

because of energy saving and for better
performances of the appliance.

The largest allowed quantity of dry laundry is

•

indicated in the Program chart on the last page.

Before washing empty the pockets, close zip

•

fasteners, and remove any metal fasteners or
badges that might clog the drain or damage the
laundry or drum interior.

Loosen the stacked laundry prior inserting it into

•

the drum.

Use only detergents for machine wash.

•

Add powder or liquid detergents according to the

•

manufacturer’s instructions.

In case of hard water it is recommended to use

•

water softeners.

In case of hard water add detergent according to the Chart for

degree 1 and add appropriate quantity of water softener (see

manufacturer’s instructions).

If you do not apply the program which includes

•

the pre-wash feature, you may add washing
detergent directly into the drum.

If you use thick liquid softener it is recommended

•

to dilute it with water, to prevent clogging of
dispenser compartment ducts.

Washing machine is equipped with the dispenser

•

partition gate, so you may pour liquid detergent
also into the central compartment. If you use
powder detergent the gate is lifted up, and in case
of liquid detergent it is slid down.

Liquid detergents are intended for main wash

•

only, without pre-wash.

In models with the delayed start feature, add

•

attached vessel.

Insert particularly delicate linen (stockings,

•

delicate female underwear, etc.) into the special
bag.

High spin RPM leave less moisture in laundry

•

which dries out much quicker in the tumble dryer,
thereby saving energy.

Do not put clods of detergent into the

soap dispenser as the tube in the washing
machine may clog.

Wash it under running water using a brush, and

•

dry it. Remove any leftover dried detergent from
the bottom of the casing.

Clean frequently the water inlet hose screen

•

under running water.

After each wash wipe the door rubber gasket. This

•

will prolong its useful life.

Open the lter lid using at screwdriver or similar

•

tool.

Filter needs occasional cleaning, especially

Failures

If the washing machine identies failures in the
operation, it reports it immediately. Sound alarm
is heard and the display reads ERROR. Number
identies the type of failure.
In some cases you may attempt removing certain
failures yourself (see the chart below), and the
machine will continue to perform the operation after
pressing the START knob (F). The machine signals
failures immediately after detecting them and stops
the program, except for heater failure, where the
machine completes the washing program without
heating water (FAILURE 1).

In case the machine signals faults number

you have to wait for at least 2 minutes
before you can open the door of the
washing machine.

Interferences from the ambient (for example
electrical wiring) could induce signalization of
different faults. In such cases:

- switch the appliance off, and wait for a few
seconds;

- switch the appliance back on and repeat the
washing program.

If the fault repeats, call authorized service shop.

Failure Possible cause Remedy

The machine does
not work
(display is not
illuminated).

softening. Such substances
may be deposited upon
the laundry. Inappropriately
selected program.

Use the detergent containing
whitener.
Select the heavily soiled laundry
