Getting to know your
washing machine
Before doing anything else you should get
to know your washing machine perfectly. To
help you recognise all the different devices
and elements which your machine is
equipped with, we have included some
diagrams. These can be found at the back
of the BOOKLET, inside the back cover.
Please study them carefully. They win help
you to understand the text and to visually
locate all the elements which make up your
machine.
Preliminary warnings
Installation
It is essential that the installation of your
WASHING MACHINE be carried out in
accordance with current standards.
Specific installation instructions can be
found in the INSTALLATION MANUAL.
Before starting your washing machine, it is
absolutely essential to remove the INTERNAL FIXING SCREWS, used for transit. To
do this, consult the installation manual.
Technical specifications table
Stuck to the back of your WASHING
MACHINE, you will find a TECHNICAL
SPECIFICATIONS TABLE, which gives the
technical and identification information for
your machine. THIS LABEL SHOULD BE
CONSULTED BEFORE MAKING ANY
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.
In order to preserve the environment, your
washing machine is equipped with a system which is capable of adapting to different conditions of use (amount of clothes
and type of fabric), thereby ensuring an
optimum level of water and power with the
same wash and rinse results. This means
that during the washing process, the
amount of water you observe through the
hatch may seem low.
Moreover, for the same reason, some
models have a patented system by means
of which the drum turns faster than normal
for a short amount of time (2 seconds) only
in the wash programmes for normal fabrics
(cotton, linen, etc.). This occurs between six
and eight times during the whole wash.

— Put the items into the drum one by one,
so that they do not get tangled up together.
— Take into account the recommended
load size for each programme.
— When washing towels, try not to wash
them on their own. Mix them in with
other clothes.
Once you have loaded the drum, close the
door by pressing on it until it is properly
closed. Make sure that no clothes get trapped between the door and the rubber seal.
Adding detergent and
additives
Before starting the wash programme, add
the detergent or additive to the detergent
dispenser (Figure 3).
Depending on the model, the detergent
dispenser in your washing machine has
three or four compartments marked with
the following symbols.
compartment:
For the PREWASH detergent.
compartment:
For the MAIN WASH detergent.
compartment:
For additives like starch,fabric conditioner,
etc., if required.
compartment:
(Optional) For liquid whiteners: bleach,
etc., if required.
Note: The level of liquid should never
exceed the MAX LEVEL (Figure 3).
Optional dispenser
You can also use liquid detergent in your
washing machine. To do this you need the
optional dispenser which you can obtain
through the FAGOR SERVICE NETWORK.
This optional dispenser should be placed
in the COMPARTMENT of the detergent dispenser (Figure 3-A). Always use
the amout recommended by the detergent
manufacturer. However, the detergent
should never go above the MAX level marked on the side of the dispenser.
Detergent
Only use detergents suitable for automatic
washing machines good quality detergents
which do not produce too much lather.
When washing woollen garments, only use
neutral detergents.
Detergent guide
Remenber that the amount of detergent to
be used always depends on:
— The size of the load.
— The type of clothes to be washed.
— How dirty the clothes are.
— The hardness of the water.
Using more detergent than necessary will
not improve the results of your wash. In
addition to being a waste it will also have
negative effects on the environment.
For wash programmes without a prewash, it
is best to use detergents which can be put
straight in the drum. In any case, we recommend that you follow the instructions of the
manufacturer of the detergent used.
The following table will help you to determine the amount of detergent to be used,
depending on the hardness of the water
and the size of the load.

Selecting the wash
programme
Your washing machine offers you a wide
range of programmes which will enable
you to wash all types of clothing.
It has 2 types of PROGRAMME:
1.- NORMAL WASH PROGRAMMES, for
resistant fabrics.
2.- DELICATE WASH PROGRAMMES, for
delicate fabrics.
The wash systems included in your washing machine are ideal for washing both
cotton and synthetic garments, as well as
woollen, silk or acrylic garments.
Basically, what varies between PROGRAMMES is the drum rotation speed, temperature, wash time and water level.
In general, the NORMAL, cycles are best
for washing resistant fabrics like cotton,
resistant synthetics, linen, etc., whilst the
DELICATE cycles, with slower drum rota-
tion speeds, lower temperature and higher
water levels, are for synthetic fabrics, wool,
silk, etc.
The models which have the wash temperature selector control have an automatic
variable load control feature, which automatically adjusts the consumption of water
and electricity to the a quantity of clothes to
be washed.
Programme tables
There follows a number of detailed PROGRAMME TABLES. Please consult them, as
they will provide you with information
about the different wash programmes
which your washing machine offers.
An abbreviated version of the table can be
found on the front or top panel of the detergent dispenser, or on a card included in
the documentation bag.
Water Hardness (French measures) Amount of detergent in grammes
Soft: (Up to 12) 90 80 65 55
Medium: (12/25) 125 115 90 75

Practical advice for a better
wash
There follows some advice, which you
should bear in mind when using your
washing machine. Advice concerning the
different types of clothes you can wash
and the different types of detergent you
can use.
Please read these pages carefully as they
will help you to get the best results from
your machine and to maintain it properly.
Sorting the clothes
Sort the different articles of clothing according to:
— COLOUR.
— DIRTINESS.
— SENSITMTY.
Colour
— Before putting the clothes into the
machine, sort the clothes according to
the type of fabric and depth of colour.
— Wash whites separately from coloureds.
— If your coloureds are new, it is best to
wash them separately the first few
times.
Dirtineas
— Sort the clothes according to dirtiness.
Give special treatment to those which
are very dirty or have got difficult
stains.
— Treat very dirty areas, like collars and
cuffs, beforehand.
— Wash clothes that are only slightly dirty
in short programmes. In this way, you
will save energy as well as getting
excellent results.
— Wash averagely dirty clothes in a nor-
mal wash programme.
— Wash very dirty clothes in a long pro-
gramme with a prewash.
Sensitivity
— Certain clothes, either because of their
fabric or the way they are made, may be
sensitive to action of your machine.When
washing them it is best to use DELICATE
PROGRAMMES.
— You can wash woollen garments in the
SPECIAL WOOL PROGRAMME. Make
sure, first of all, that your woolen garments are machine washable.
Care label symbols
These symbols are normally found on the
care labels in the necks or side seams of
your clothes.They indicate:
— Maximum WASH temperature.
— Type of wash they can withstand.
— Products with which they can or cannot
be washed.
— Treatments for their care.
— Correct ironing temperature and met-
hod.

Treating stains
On many occasions, due to the type and
characteristics of some stains, you may not
be able to get the results you would like
from the wash. There follows a guide to the
special treatments you can apply to these
stains before putting the clothes into your
washing machine.
Water soluble stains
Treat these stains, even if they are stubborn, with concentrated detergent or washing soap.
Stains not soluble in water
Treat these stains with a special stain removal product.
Difficult stains
Felt-tip pen and biro: rub these stains with
a cloth soaked in alcohol.
Candle wax: cover these stains with a piece
of blotting-paper and iron at the correct
temperature for the material. If necessary,
repeat the operation.
Resin, grease and skin-care cream: treat
these stains with a petrol-based stain remover and then wash.
Tar: rub these stains with butter and set to
one side for a while, then wash.
Blood, milk and egg:soak in cold water and
then wash with biological detergent at a
temperature of 50º to 60º, provided the
fabric can take it.
Fruit,coffee and wine: these stains normally
disappear after a number of washes.
If you come up against a stain which is not
washable or particularly stubborn, ask for
specialist advice. In any case, NEVER USE
CHEMICAL PRODUCTS IN THIS WASHING
MACHINE.
Practical advice on the
wash load
— Whenever possible, it is best to wash
with a full load, as this will reduce water
and electricity consumption conside-
rably.
— If you have to wash very dirty clothes o
very absorbent items (towels, bathro-
om linen, etc.), it is advisable to reduce
the maximum load given.
— Whenever possible, we recommend
that you wash items of different sizes in
the same wash programmes, as this
helps the wash action and benefits the
distribution of clothes in the drum
during spin drying. It also means that
the machine operates more quietly.
General hints on washing
— When you wash garments which requi-
re different wash temperatures, always
select the lowest temperature.
— Generally spesking, whiteners should
only be used to wash resistant white
fabrics such as cotton, linen, etc.
— Wash garments made of synthetic,
mixed and delicate fibres in delicate
programmes to avoid creasing which
will be difficult to iron out.
— It is best to finish delicate programmes
with a short spin. This will increase the
efficiency of the rinses and mean that the
clothes are well wrung out.

General tips
Maintenance
Before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance operation on your washing machine, always unplug it from the mains supply.
Cleaning
After each wash, leave the loading door
open for a while so that air can circulate
inside your machine.
From time to time it is a good idea to rum a
complete wash cycle, using a descaling
product. This will help prolong the life of
your machine.
Cleaning the autside of your washing
machine
Use warm soapy water or a gentle nonabrasive cleaning agent which is not a solvent to
clean the outside of your washing machine.
Then dry it well with a soft cloth.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
Clean the detergent dispenser whenever
you see a build up of washing powder
deposits. To do this:
— Take the DETERGENT DISPENSER right
out, pulling outwards the handle.
— Clean the DISPENSER COMPART-
MENTS with warm water and a brush.
— Clean the SUCTION SYPHONS as well.
Once you have done this, put the dispenser
back in your washing machine.
Troubleshooting guide
If you have problem with your washing
machine, you will probably be able to solve
it by consulting the following guide.
If the guide does not offer a solution to the
problem, unplug your washing machine
and call your nearest AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE. Your washing machine contains no fuses or similar components which
you can change. NEVER tamper with your
washing machine.
Your washing machine does not start
Possible causes
— There is no electricity supply.
— Your washing machine is not plugged in.
— A mains fuse has blown.
— Your washing machine door is not pro-
perly shut.
— The STOP/START button has not been
pressed.
Your washing machine is not taking in
water
Possible causes
— The mains water supply has been cut off.
— The water inlet tap is turned off.
— The hose filter is blocked.
— The pipe is blocked or bent.
Your washing machine does not empty
or spin
Possible causes
— The water outlet pipe is blocked or
bent.
Your washing machine vibrates or
makes a lot of noise.
Possible causes
— The INTERNAL FIXING SCREWS have
not been removed.(Consult the installation manual).
— The washing machine has not been
properly levelled.
Important
All models have a spin safety system which
stops the spin function from working if the
clothes are not properly distributed in such
a way that they could cause excessive
vibrations. If your clothes should come out
very wet,spin dry them again ensuring that
they are evenly distributed in the drum.
