LEVELLING THE WASHING MACHINE AND

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

installation and assembly

LEVELLING

Level the appliance using its adjustable legs, to reduce noise and to stop the washing machine from moving during washing. Do not pull the legs out too far, as this will affect the stability of the appliance.

Important

For models with nuts, tighten the nuts with a spanner.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Consult the instruction plate on the washing machine loading door before making the electrical connection. Check the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated on the instruction plate.

Never remove the instruction plate, as it contains important information.

Make sure your washing machine is correctly plugged into an earthed socket.

The electrical installation, plug, mains socket and the fuses or automatic circuitbreaker and counter must withstand the maximum power indicated on the instruction plate.

Important

Never plug the washing machine into the mains with wet or damp hands.

To unplug the appliance from the mains, pull on the plug. Never pull on the cable.

If the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced as soon as possible with a cable or special unit provided by the manufacturer or after-sales service.

For built-in washing machines, the mains connection plug must be accessible after installation.

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 Select the Cotton 60ºC programme.

b Press the Start/Pause button.

PREPARING GARNMENTS FOR WASHING

PREPARATION

Make sure you empty the pockets of the clothes before you place them in the drum. Small objects could block the drain pump.

Important

SORTING THE LAUNDRY

a Sort the clothes by fabric type

We recommend using the delicate programmes for more fragile items. Use the special wool wash programmes for washing woollens.

b Sort the clothes by level of soilness

• A short cold water programme is better for only slightly soiled clothes.

• Use a programme without prewash if the clothes are not very soiled.

• Only use the long programmes with prewash for very dirty items.

Prewash Wash

If you wish to use the drying programme, first check that the fabric is suitable for machinedrying. Consult the label.

Check your woollens are machinewashable before washing them.

Wash

c Sort the laundry by colour

Wash whites and coloureds separately.

We recommend you load your washing machine to the maximum level, to economise on water and power.

We advise washing items of different sizes together whenever possible, as this optimises the washing process and favours the distribution of the load inside the drum on spin-drying,

Important

reducing noise. Wash small delicate items in a net

bag.

USING DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES

using the appliance and practical tips

DETERGENTS

AND ADDITIVES

a The detergent drawer of your washing

machine is divided into 3 compartments.

b Before washing, place the detergent and

additives in their corresponding compartments.

The compartments are marked with a MAX line to show the maximum level to which they can be filled.

ImportantImportant

Remember that the amount of detergent to be used depends on:

The amount of clothes to be washed. How dirty the clothes are.

The hardness of the water (to find out the water hardness in your area, contact the relevant local authorities).

We recommend you use an anti-scale product if you live in a hard water area.

PREWASH

WASH FABRIC SOFTENER

eco-note

Use only low-suds detergent formulated for drum type washes.

Using more detergent will not give you better wash results, and as well as

costing you money it will also have a negative effect on the environment.

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

SELECTING THE COMPLEMENTARY FUNCTIONS

using the appliance and practical tips

SPIN SPEED SELECTION

The programme selected is associated with a certain spin speed.

a To change it, turn the spin speed selector.

b No spin

Turn the spin speed selector to the “0” position to obtain a programme with no final spin, used to prevent particularly delicate fabrics from creasing.

FULL TUB STOP

The wash programme stops on the last rinse, with the clothes left in water. When the function is deactivated, the washing machine continues the programme, draining and spin-drying. It is used, for example, when you are not at home and want to delay the spindrying until you get home, to prevent the clothes creasing after spin-drying and being left in the drum to be removed.

To use it, turn the spin speed selector to the full tub stop position.

a b

INTENSIVE WASH

This option, specially recommended for heavily soiled, stained clothes, achieves better results by extending the normal wash cycle.

using the appliance and practical tips

EASY IRONING

This option prevents garments from creasing by means of carrying out a special programme with special turns to fluff out the garments after spin-drying and make them easier to iron.

EXTRA RINSE

Increases the level of the final rinse obtained in the clothes; suitable for large loads and garments belonging to people with sensitive skin. Increases water consumption!

START/PAUSE

To start up your washing cycle, press the

Start/Pause button.

WASH AND DRY PROGRAMME RUNNING AND

ELECTRICITY CUTS

using the appliance and practical tips

PROGRAMME

RUNNING

When the programme starts up, the remaining time until it finishes will appear on the screen.

Complementary functions can be selected at any time, providing the corresponding washing cycle has not finished and the programme admits this function.

If you press the Start/Pause button during the washing process, the washing machine will stop and go onto PAUSE.

If you change the programme on the programme selector dial during washing and drying, the washer dryer will automatically go onto PAUSE and the programme running will be cancelled.

If you need to add or remove an item, press the Stop/Pause button. Check there is no danger of the water overflowing when you open the door

Important

and that the water temperature is not too high. To restart and continue the washing cycle, press the Start/Pause button again.

POWER

CUTS

If a power cut should occur, when the electricity comes back on the washing machine will continue functioning from where it left off (it has a memory of several hours).

To reduce noise on spin drying, level the washing machine by regulating the adjustable feet.

You should wash clothes of different sizes on the same wash programme whenever possible, as this helps distribute the clothes inside the drum on spin-drying and improves spin performance.

All the models have a safety system to prevent spin-drying from starting up if the clothes are too concentrated inside the drum. This protects the washing machine from vibrating excessively. If you notice that the clothes are still too damp after spin drying, distribute them evenly inside the drum and then run the spin dry cycle again.

tips

washing machine

MAINTENANCE

After each wash programme, leave the loading door open for a short time so that air can circulate around the washing machine.

From time to time, depending on the water hardness in your area, it is recommendable to run a full wash cycle using an anti-scale product. This will prolong the life of your

washing machine.

Unplug the washing machine from the mains before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operations.

Important

CLEANING THE DETERGENT DRAWER

maintenance and cleaning

You should clean the detergent drawer regularly to remove any wash product residue remaining inside it.

a Pull outwards on the detergent

drawer to remove it completely.

b Use warm water and a brush to

clean the compartments.

c Also take out the additive

compartment siphons, clean them and replace them. Then fit the drawer back into its housing.

If the syphon is dirty or has not been correctly fitted it will prevent the additives from being used and water will be left in the compartment after washing.

Important
