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 fi 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.

• If water hardness level exceeds 14°dH degrees, the use of water conditioner is required. Any
damage to the heater due to failure to use a water conditioning agent shall not be covered by
this warranty.

• Chlorine-based whitening agents are not recommended, as it can damage the heater.

Hardness scale Degree of hardness

°dH(°N) m mol/l °fH(°F) p.p.m.

1 - Soft < 8,4 < 1,5 < 15 < 150
2 - Medium 8,4 - 14 1,5 - 2,5 15 - 25 150 - 250
3 - Hard > 14 > 2,5 > 25 > 250

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 (depending on model). 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.

19

242221

• 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.

Cleaning and maintenance

Disconnect the washing machine from the mains

before cleaning!

• The casing should be cleaned with soft cloth and mild
detergent.

• The interior of the drum and the door gasket is cleaned by
washing at 60°C without laundry and adding half quantity of
detergent.

• If necessary, clean the detergent dispenser. Pull it out from its
casing completely by pressing the fl ap (see Fig.).

242221

• If necessary, clean the cover of the bung under the running
water.

• Wash it under running water using a brush, and dry it. Remove
any leftover dried detergent from the bottom of the casing.

• Clean the entire rinsing area of the washing machine with a
brush, especially the nozzles on the upper side of the rinsing
chamber.

• 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 fi lter lid using fl at screwdriver or similar tool.

• Filter needs occasional cleaning, especially following heavily
shaggy or old laundry. Before cleaning, drain any water from
the machine via drain pipe.

• Turn it anti-clockwise, pull it out and clean under running
water.

21

Failures

If the washing machine identifi es failures in the operation, it reports it immediately. Sound alarm is
heard and the display reads ERROR. Number identifi 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 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.

Warranty shall not apply in case of failures due to interferences from the environment (lightning
stroke, power supply circuit faults, natural disasters).
