INSTALLING THE WASHING MACHINE UNDER A KITCHEN

WORKTOP AND PRE-CLEANING

INSTALLATION UNDER

A WORKTOP

Your washing machine may be fitted underneath a kitchen worktop.

If you need to remove the washing machine’s worktop, for safety reasons you need to fit a protection plate which you can obtain from your Dealer or Technical Assistance Service.

Follow these steps to fit the plate:

a Remove the washing machine work top

by taking out the side screws and moving it gently back.

b Take out the screws and remove the

parts holding the worktop in place.

c Put the protection plate into place and

screw it to the washing machine so it can then be inserted in the place you wish, fitting spongy adhesive all around the perimeter first to prevent noise.

PRE-CLEANING

When your washing machine has been correctly installed, we recommend that you pre-clean the machine.

This is to check that the installation, the connections and the drainage are all correct, and to thoroughly clean the inside of the washing machine before any wash programmes are run (see the operating instructions on the following pages).

a Press ON/OFF button.

b Select the normal programme at 60ºC.

c Press the start/pause button.

PREPARING

GARMENTS FOR WASHING

PREPARATION

Before placing the clothes in the drum, make sure all the pockets are empty.

Any small objects may block the drain pump.

Important

SORTING THE CLOTHES

a Sort the clothes according to fabric

and how they are made:

We recommend using the delicate

programmes for sensitive fabrics. There is a special wool programme for woollens.

b Sort clothes according to how soiled

they are.

• Wash lightly soiled garments using a short programme.

• Use a programme without prewash for medium-soiled garments.

• Wash heavily soiled garments using a long programme with prewash.

c Sort your clothes according to colour.

Wash whites and coloured separately.

We recommend loading the washing machine to its full capacity. This means savings on water and energy.

Whenever possible, we recommend that you wash garments of different sizes within the same wash programme. This improves the washing action and also aids the correct distribution of the garments in the drum when spin-drying, and

Important

the washing machine will therefore be quieter.

It is a good idea to put small garments in a wash bag.

Prewash Wash

Important

Make sure beforehand that your woollens can be machinewashed.

Before using the drying programme, first check the label on the garment to make sure it can be tumble dried.

USING DETERGENT AND ADDITIVES

using the appliance and practical tips

DETERGENT AND

ADDITIVES

a Your washing machine’s detergent

dispenser has three compartments.

b Put the detergent or additive into the

detergent dispenser before starting the wash programme.

c Liquid detergents may also be used in

this washing machine. An optional detergent dispenser is to be used for this, which can be obtained from the Technical Service Network.

Place this optional dispenser inside the wash compartment.

The level of liquid must never be higher than the MAX mark printed on the dispenser wall.

Important

Remember that the amount of detergent to be used will always depend on:

The amount of clothes to be washed. How heavily the clothes are soiled.

The hardness of the water (Information on water hardness in your area can be obtained from the competent local authorities).

We recommend the use of a decalcifying product if the water hardness is high in your area.

Important

Prewash

Wash

Fabric softener

eco-note

Remember that concentrated detergents exist which are more environment- and nature-friendly.

The use of more detergent than necessary will not improve you washing results, and apart from costing

you money it will have a negative effect

on the preservation of the

environment.

We therefore recommend you follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions.

using the appliance

warnings

Level the washing machine by adjusting the

feet to reduce the noise caused by spin-drying.

Try and wash clothes of different sizes in the same wash programme to favour the distribution of the clothes inside the drum during spin-drying.

All the models have a safety system for spin-drying that prevents spin-drying from being carried out if the distribution of the clothes inside the drum is too concentrated. This prevents the appliance from vibrating too much. If you find that the clothes are not properly wrung out, try spin-drying them again after having distributed the clothes more evenly in the drum.

washing machine

After each wash, leave the door open for a while to allow the air to circulate freely inside the machine.

From time to time, depending on the hardness of your water, it is recommendable to run a full wash cycle using a decalcifying product. This will

extend the life of your washing machine.

The washing machine should be disconnected from the mains electricity supply before any cleaning or maintenance is carried out.
