Washing hints

Sorting the laundry

Follow the wash code symbols on each
garment label and the manufacturer’s washing
instructions. Sort the laundry as follows: whites,
coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.

Temperatures

Before loading the laundry

Never wash whites and coloureds together.
Whites may lose their «whiteness» in the
wash.
New coloured items may run in the first wash;
they should therefore be washed separately
the first time.

Make sure that no metal objects are left in
the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins,
pins). Button up pillowcases, close zip
fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie any belts
or long tapes.

Remove persistent stains before washing.
Rub particularly soiled areas with a special
detergent or detergent paste.
Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks
or tie them up in a bag or net.

Maximum loads

Recommended loads are indicated in the
programme charts.
General rules:
Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly
packed;

Synthetics: drum no more than half full;
Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more

than one third full.
Washing a maximum load makes the most
efficient use of water and energy.
For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load
size.

Laundry weights

The following weights are indicative:

Removing stains

Stubborn stains may not be removed by just
water and detergent. It is therefore advisable to
treat them prior to washing.
Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For
dried stains, soak overnight in water with a
special detergent then rub in the soap and
water.

90° or 95°

and linen (e.g. tea cloths, towels,

cotton or synthetic fibres and for
lightly soiled white cotton (e.g.
underwear).

Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain
remover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and
dab the stain; treat several times.
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine,
lay the garment on a soft surface and dab the
stain with the fingertips and a cotton cloth.
Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a
rust removing product used cold. Be careful
with rust stains which are not recent since the
cellulose structure will already have been
damaged and the fabric tends to hole.
Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well
(whites and fast coloureds only).
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach
(whites and fast coloureds only).
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with
acetone (*), lay the garment on a soft cloth and
dab the stain.
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then
treat stains with methylated spirits. Remove
any residual marks from white fabrics with
bleach.
Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse
and treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse.
Treat any residual marks with bleach.
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the
fabric first with acetone (*), then with acetic
acid; treat any residual marks on white fabrics
with bleach and then rinse thoroughly.
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover,
methylated spirits or benzine, then rub with
detergent paste.

(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk.

Detergents and additives

Good washing results also depend on the
choice of detergent and use of the correct
quantities to avoid waste and protect the
environment. Although biodegradable,
detergents contain substances which, in large
quantities, can upset the delicate balance of
nature.
The choice of detergent will depend on the
type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons,

etc.), the colour, washing temperature and
degree of soiling.
All commonly available washing machine
detergents may be used in this appliance:

● powder detergents for all types of fabric,

● powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C

max) and woollens,

● liquid detergents, preferably for low

temperature wash programmes (60°C max)
for all types of fabric, or special for woollens
only.

The detergent and any additives must be
placed in the appropriate compartments of the
dispenser drawer before starting the wash
programme.
If using concentrated powder or liquid
detergents, a programme without prewash
must be selected.
The washing machine incorporates a
recirculation system which allows an optimal
use of the concentrated detergent.
Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer
compartment marked just before starting
the programme.
Any fabric softener or starching additives must
be poured into the compartment marked
before starting the wash programme.
Follow the product manufacturer’s
recommendations on quantities to use and do

not exceed the «MAX» mark in the
detergent dispenser drawer.

Quantity of detergent to be used

The type and quantity of detergent will depend
on the type of fabric, load size, degree of
soiling and hardness of the water used.
Water hardness is classified in so-called
«degrees» of hardness. Information on
hardness of the water in your area can be
obtained from the relevant water supply
company, or from your local authority.
Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions
on quantities to use.
Use less detergent if:

● you are washing a small load,

● the laundry is lightly soiled,

● large amounts of foam form during washing.

IMPORTANT!

You must DISCONNECT the appliance from
the electricity supply, before you can carry out
any cleaning or maintenance work.

Descaling

The water we use normally contains lime. It is
a good idea to periodically use a water
softening powder in the machine. Do this
separately from any laundry washing, and
according to the softening powder
manufacturer's instructions. This will help to
prevent the formation of lime deposits.

Maintenance Wash

With the use of low temperature washes it is
possible to get a build up of residues inside the
drum.
We recommend that a maintenance wash be
performed on a regular basis.
To run a maintenance wash:

● The drum should be empty of laundry.

● Select the hottest cotton wash programme.

● Use a normal measure of detergent, must be

a powder with biological properties.

External cleaning

Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with
soap and water only, and then dry thoroughly.

Cleaning the dispenser drawer

The washing powder and additive dispenser
drawer should be cleaned regularly.

To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive
compartment should be removed.

Remove the drawer by pressing the catch
downwards and by pulling it out. Flush it out
under a tap, to remove any traces of
accumulated powder.

Cleaning the drawer recess

Having removed the

drawer, use a small

brush to clean the

recess, ensuring that all

washing powder

residue is removed from

the upper and lower
part of the recess.
Replace the drawer and run the rinse
programme without any clothes in the drum.

Cleaning the pump

The pump should be inspected if

● the machine does not empty and/or spin

● the machine makes an unusual noise during

draining due to objects such as safety pins,
coins etc. blocking the pump.

Proceed as follows:

● Disconnect the appliance.

● If necessary wait until the water has cooled

down.

● Open the pump door.

● Place a containfer

close to the pump to
collect any spillage.

● Pull out the emergency

emptying hose, place it
in the container and
remove its cap.

● When no more water comes out, unscrew the

pump cover and remove it. Always keep a
rag nearby to dry up spillage of water when
removing the cover.

● Remove any objects from the pump impeller

by rotating it.

● Put the cap back on the emergency emptying

hose and place the latter back in its seat.

● Screw the pump cover

fully in.

● Close the pump door.

IMPORTANT!

When the appliance is in use and depending
on the programme selected there can be hot
water in the pump.
Never remove the pump cover during a wash
cycle, always wait until the appliance has
finished the cycle, and is empty. When
replacing the cover, ensure it is securely
retightened so as to stop leaks and young
children being able to remove it.
Cleaning the water inlet filter
If your water is very hard or contains traces of
lime deposit, the water inlet filter may become
clogged.
It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time
to time.

Turn off the water tap.
Unscrew the water inlet
hose. Clean the filter
using a hard bristle
brush. Tighten up the
inlet hose.

The dangers of freezing

If the machine is exposed to temperatures
below 0°C, certain precautions should be
taken.

● Turn off the water tap.

● Unscrew the inlet hose.

● Place the end of the emergency emptying

hose and that of the inlet hose in a bowl
placed on the floor and let water drain out.

● Screw the water inlet hose back on and

reposition the emergency emptying hose
after having put the cap on again.

● When you intend to start the machine up

again, make sure that the room temperature
is above 0°C.

IMPORTANT!

Every time you drain the water through the
emergency emptying hose you must pour 2
litres of water into the main wash compartment
of the detergent drawer and then run the drain
programme. This will activate the ECO VALVE
device avoiding that part of the detergent
remains unused at next washing.

Emergency emptying out

If the water is not discharged, proceed as
follows to empty out the machine:

● pull out the plug from the power socket;

● close the water tap;

● if necessary, wait until the water has cooled

down;

● open the pump door;

● place a bowl on the floor and place the end

of the emergency emptying hose into the
bowl. Remove its cap. The water should
drain by gravity into the bowl. When the bowl
is full, put the cap back on the hose. Empty
the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water
stops flowing out;

● clean the pump if necessary as previously

described;

● replace the emergency emptying hose in its

seat after having plugged it;

● screw the pump cover again and close the

door.

Malfunction Possible Cause / Solution

The machine does not empty and/or
does not spin:

The drain hose is squashed or kinked.

(Red Start/ Pause pilot light flashes)

• Check the drain hose connection.

The drain pump is clogged.

(Red Start/Pause pilot light flashes)

• Clean the drain pump.

The option has been selected.

• Select the Drain or Spin programmes

The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.

• Redistribute the laundry.

There is water on the floor:

Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent (creates
too much foam) has been used.

• Reduce the detergent quantity or use another one.

Check whether there are any leaks from one of the
inlet hose fittings. It is not always easy to see this as
the water runs down the hose; check to see if it is
damp.

• Check the water inlet hose connection.

The inlet hose is damaged.

• Change it with a new one.

The cap on the emergency emptying hose has not
been replaced after cleaning the pump.

• Put the cap back on the emergency emptying and
place the latter back in its seat.

Unsatisfactory washing results:

Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been
used.

• Increase the detergent quantity or use another one.

The machine vibrates or is noisy:

The transit bolts and packing have not been
removed.

• Check the correct installation of the appliance.

The support feet have not been adjusted.

• Check the correct levelling of the appliance.

The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.

• Redistribute the laundry.

Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.

• Load more laundry.

Malfunction Possible Cause / Solution

The programme is still running.

• Wait the end of washing cycle.

The door lock has not been released.

• Wait about 2 minute.

There is water in the drum.

• Select drain or spin programme to empty out the
water.

Spinning starts late or the machine
does not spin:

The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in
because the laundry is not evenly distributed in the
drum. The laundry is redistributed by reverse rotation
of the drum. This may happen several times before
the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can
resume. If, after 10 minutes, the laundry is still not
evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will not
spin. In this case, redistribute the load manually and
select the spin programme.

● Redistribute the laundry.

The machine makes an unusual noise

The machine is fitted with a type of motor which
makes an unusual noise compared with other
traditional motors. This new motor ensures a softer
start and more even distribution of the laundry in the
drum when spinning, as well as increased stability of
the machine.

No water is visible in the drum

Machines based on modern technology operate very
economically using very little water without affecting
performance.

If you are unable to identify or solve the
problem, contact our service centre.
Before telephoning, make a note of the model,
serial number and purchase date of your
machine: the Service Centre will require this
information.

Installation instruction

Transit security bars

Before starting the machine up, the transport
security bars must be removed as follows:
You are advised to keep all the transport
security bars. In case the appliance has to be
transported again.

1. Unscrew and remove the three rear screws
by means of a key.

2. Lean the appliance back on the rear and fit
one of the polystyrene angles between the
appliance and the floor.

Make sure the hoses are not squashed.

3. Carefully remove the plastic bags on the left
and the right, pulling them to the centre of
the appliance.

4. Place the machine in an upright position
and remove the three plastic bolts.

5. Plug the 3 holes with the plastic plugs which
you can find in the envelope containing the
instruction booklet.

Positioning

Install the machine on a flat hard floor. Make
sure that air circulation around the machine is
not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that
the machine does not touch the wall or other
kitchen units. Level the washing machine by
raising or lowering the feet. Once in the right
position fix the feet by pushing the nuts against
the base of the case. The feet may be tight to
adjust as they incorporate but the machine
MUST be level and stable.
If necessary, check the setting with a spirit level.
Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and
displacement of the machine during
operation.Never place cardboard, wood or
similar materials under the machine to
compensate for any unevenness in the floor.
Some vibration is inevitable, especially if
mounted on a wooden floor.
Sprung wooden floors are particularly
susceptible to vibration. For advice, consult a
builder. If possible, always place the machine
on a solid floor.

126.2942.00…AW1002W.qxd 29/11/07 19:00 Página 23

Water inlet

There should be a COLD WATER tap near the
washing machine with a screwing on
connection pipe of 3/4" for the water supply, a
sink, a wash basin or a drainage system in the
wall.
Previously check if:

- it is not a hot water tap.

- the running water is clean. If not, run off a
reasonable amount of water to flush out any
debris that may have collected in the pipes.
Have the permanent drainage system in the
wall checked by a plumber.

1. Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4”
thread. Always use the hose supplied with
the appliance. The inlet hose must not be
lengthened. If it is too short and you do not
wish to move the tap, you will have to
purchase a new, longer hose specially
designed for this type of use.

NOTE
Installation should

comply with local
water authority and
building regulations’
requirements.

2. If necessary turn the hose adequately by
unscrewing the nut at the rear of the
appliance. Now tighten the nut anew to
avoid leaks. (Open the tap and assure that
it does not leak and close it again.)

The appliance must be connected to a cold
water supply.
A minimum water pressure of 0.05 MPa (0.5
bar) is required for safe operation of the
appliance.
If you cannot make the cold water connection
direct from the rising mains, you may be able
to operate the appliance from your cold water
storage system.
There should be a minimum distance of 5.02m
(16.5 ft) between the appliance’s inlet and the
bottom of the water storage tank.

Water drainage

This appliance is designed to be permanently
plumbed into your home's drainage system
using one of the following methods.

1. Into a drainage standpipe.

Firstly form a hook in the end of the drain
hose using the «U» piece supplied. Place the
drain hose into your standpipe, which should
have an internal diameter of approximately
38mm thus ensuring there is an air break
between the drain hose and standpipe.
When discharging into a standpipe ensure that
the top of the standpipe is no more than 90
cm (35.4'') and no less than 60 cm (23.6'')
above floor level.

U piece

supplied

126.2942.00…AW1002W.qxd 29/11/07 19:00 Página 24

25

The drain hose may be extended to a
maximum of 4 metres. An additional drain hose
and joining piece is available from your local
Service Force Centre. The joining piece must
have an internal diameter of 18mm.

If your drain hose
looks like this (see
below) you do not
require the «U» piece.
Just push the hose
firmly into the
standpipe.

2. Onto a sink outlet spigot.

If the outlet spigot has not been used before,
remove any blanking plug that may be in place.

Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure
with a clip if required, ensure a loop is formed
in the drain hose (see diagram) to prevent
waste from the sink entering the washing
machine.

Important!

Before connecting the machine to new
pipework or to pipework that has not been
used for some time, run off a reasonable
amount of water to flush out any debris that
may have collected in the pipes.

Loop

Special conditions

If the floor is carpeted or covered with crumbly
or soft material, insert a rigid support base
under the feet to prevent noise, vibration or
displacement. The base should protrude a few
centimetres beyond the edges of the machine.

WARNING!

The machine should NOT be placed on deep
pile carpeting.

NOTE

Please ensure that when the appliance is
installed it is easily accessible for the engineer
in the event of a breakdown.

In the interest of the environment

Washing machines and dishwashers should be
connected to the FOUL drainage system, the
water will then be taken to a sewage works for
treatment before being discharged safely into a
river. It is essential that these appliances are
not connected to the surface water drainage
system as this water is discharged directly into
a river or stream and may cause pollution.
