Washing programme for machine washable wool as well as for hand washable woollens and delicate fabrics with the «hand washing» care symbol .

Selecting this programme, the laundry is gently washed and spun to avoid any creasing. In this way ironing is easier. Furthermore the machine will perform additional rinses.

This programme is suitable for washing heavily soiled sport items. The machine will automatically add a prewash phase before the main wash to eliminate mud stains. We recommend that you do NOT put the detergent into the compartment of the detergent drawer.

With this programme it is possible to wash free time items as pants, shirts or jackets and also jerseys made of hi-tech materials. The machine will perform some extra rinses.

With this programme it is possible to rinse and spin cotton garments which have been washed by hand. The machine performs 3 rinses, followed by a final spin at maximum speed. The spin speed can be reduced by pressing button .

For emptying out the water of the last rinse in programmes with the Rinse Hold option. Firstly, turn the programme selector dial to «O», then select programme Drain and press button .

To reset a programme and to switch off the machine turn the selector dial to «O». A new programme can now be selected.

Washing and drying 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

for normally soiled white

90° or 95°

50°/60°

30°-40°-Cold

cottons and linen (e.g. tea cloths, towels, tablecloths, sheets...)

for normally soiled, colour fast garments (e.g. shirts, night

dresses, pyjamas....) in linen,

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

for delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed laundry including synthetic fibres and woollens bearing the label «pure new wool, machine washable, non-shrink».

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.

Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy items such as towels as these can attract the fluff.

Remove the laundry when the appliance has finished drying.

To avoid a static charge when drying is completed, use either a fabric softener when you are washing the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for tumble dryers.

Particularly delicate items such as synthetic curtains, woollen and silk, garments with metal inserts, nylon stockings, bulky garments such as anoraks, bedcovers, quilts, sleeping bags and duvets must not be machine dried.

Garments padded with foam-rubber or materials similar to foam-rubber must not be machine dried; they represent a fire hazard.

Also, fabrics containing residues of setting lotions or hair sprays, nail solvents or similar solutions must not be machine dried in order to avoid the formation of harmful vapours.

For drying, follow the indications given on the manufacturer’s labels.

May be tumble dried

Drying at high temperature

Drying at reduced temperature

Do not tumble dry

IMPORTANT!

As a dryer, the machine works on the condensation principle.

Therefore, the water tap must be open and the drain hose must drain water into a sink or into the drain pipe, even during the drying cycle.

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.

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.

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 washer-dryer 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. 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.

Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on quantities to use.

Degrees of water hardness

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.

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.

Before the first use

WARNING!

Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instructions.

IMPORTANT!

Care and cleaning

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 the appliance is operating, wait, if

necessary, until the water has cooled down.

• open the pump door levering on the groove

with a coin.

• place a bowl with a small edge close to the

pump to collect any spillage

• pull out the emergency emptying cap from the

filter cover, using a pliers.

• when no more water comes out, unscrew the pump cover, using a pliers, and remove the filter. 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.

• replace the emergency emptying cap into the filter cover and fix it firmly.

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:

• pull out the plug from the power socket;

• Close the pump door.

• turn off the water tap.

• unscrew the inlet hose.

• place a bowl with a small edge close to the pump to collect any spillage from the emergency emptying hose. Place the end 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 cap on again into the filter cover.

• 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 using the suitable tool;

• place a bowl with a small edge close to the pump to collect any spillage. Remove the emergency emptying cap from the filter cover. The water should drain by gravity into the bowl. When the bowl is full, put the cap back on filter cover. Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water stops flowing out;

• clean the pump if necessary as previously described;

• replace the filter into the pump and screw it firmly as previously described;

• replace the emergency emptying cap into the filter cover and close the pump door.
