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.

2 - Medium 7-14 1,3-2,5 12-25 120-250
3 - Hard 14-21 2,5-3,8 25-37 250-370
4 - Extra hard >21 >3,8 >37 >370
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
liquid detergent directly into the drum, in the 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.

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
