BEFORE USING THE WASHING MACHINE

•

1.Removing the packaging and inspection

•

After unpacking, make sure that the washing
machine is undamaged. If in doubt, do not use the
washing machine. Contact After-Sales Service or
your local retailer.

•

Check that the accessories and supplied parts are
all present.

•

Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags,
polystyrene parts, etc.) out of reach of children,
as they are potentially dangerous.

•

If the appliance was exposed to the cold before
delivery, keep it at room temperature for a few
hours before operating.

2.Remove the transport bolts

•

The washing machine is fitted with transport
bolts to avoid any possible damage to the interior
during transport. Before using the washing
machine, it is imperative that the transport bolts
are removed.

•

After their removal, cover the openings with the
4 enclosed plastic caps.

3.Install the washing machine

•

You are advised not to install the appliance in a
room where the temperature could drop to
below 0°C.

•

Given the weight of the appliance, attention must
be paid to safety standards when it is being moved.

•

When positioning the appliance, make sure that
the power cable is not kinked or compressed and
that it can be easily accessed if required.

•

Remove the protective film from the control
panel (if available on your model).

•

Move the appliance without carrying it by the
worktop.

•

Install the appliance on a solid and level floor
surface, preferably in a corner of the room.

•

Make sure that all four feet are stable and resting
on the floor and then check that the washing
machine is perfectly level (use a spirit level).

•

In case of wooden or so-called “floating floors”
(for instance certain parquet or laminate floors),
place the appliance on a 60 x 60 cm sheet of
plywood at least 3 cm in thickness which is
secured to the floor.

connector”

Use only new hoses to connect the washing
machine to the water supply. Used hoses must
not be used and should be discarded,

5.Drain

•

Connect the drain hose to the siphon or hook it
over the edge of a sink by means of the “U” bend
supplied.

•

If the washing machine is connected to an
integrated drainage system, ensure the latter is
equipped with a vent to avoid simultaneous
loading and draining of water (siphoning effect).

6.Electrical connections

•

Electrical connections must be carried out by a
qualified technician in compliance with the
manufacturer’s instructions and current standard
safety regulations.

•

Voltage, power consumption and electrical
protection data are supplied on the inside of the

earthed by law. The manufacturer declines all
liability for possible damage to property or injury
to persons or pets deriving from failure to
observe the a/m directions.

•

Do not use extension leads or multi sockets.

•

Before any maintenance on the washing machine
disconnect it from the mains supply.

•

After installation, access to the mains plug or to
disconnection from mains supply must be
ensured at all times via a double-pole switch.

•

Do not operate the washing machine if it has
been damaged during transport. Inform the
After-Sales Service.

•

recovery and recycling of this product, please
contact your local city office, your household
waste disposal service or the shop where you
purchased the product.

3.Safety Instructions

•

The washing machine can only be used indoors.

•

Do not store flammable fluids near the appliance.

•

If you want to place a dryer on top of your
washing machine, first contact our After-Sales
Service or your specialist dealer to verify if this is
possible. Placing a dryer on your washing
machine is only admitted by using an appropriate
stacking kit available through our After-Sales
Service or your specialist dealer.

•

Do not leave the appliance plugged in when not
in use.

•

Turn off the tap when not in use.

•

Before any cleaning and maintenance switch off
the machine or disconnect it from the mains.

•

Never open the door forcibly or use it as a step.

•

Children must not be allowed to play with the
washing machine or to climb into the drum.

•

If necessary, the power cable may be replaced
with an identical one obtained from our After­Sales Service. The power cable must only be
replaced by a qualified technician.

For washer/dryer models

•

Do NOT dry items that have been washed or
treated with chemical stain removers, cooking
oil, petroleum, acetone, alcohol, petrol, paraffin,
white spirit, wax.
Remove these substances by means of a hot wash
with abundant detergent before drying.

•

Do NOT dry items made from foam rubber,
latex, raincoats, waterproof fabrics, rubber
airbeds, printed objects, clothes or pillows filled
with foam rubber. These materials could melt
and damage other items in the wash or damage
the appliance.

4.Advice on saving energy

•

To achieve the best use of energy, water,
detergent and time use the recommended
maximum load size.

•

Do not exceed the recommended dosages on
the detergent packet.

•

The Eco Flap - a special system in the outlet ­prevents detergent loss from the drum to avoid
detergent loss into the environment.

•

Use the “Pre-wash” programme for heavily
soiled laundry only. Use a programme with no
“Pre-wash” cycle for slightly or normally soiled
items; You save on water, energy and time as a
result.

•

Before using the washing machine, treat laundry
with a stain remover or soak dry stained items in
water so as to avoid having to use high
temperature wash programmes.

•

Save energy by using a 60° C instead of a 95° C
wash programme or a 40° C instead of a 60° C
wash programme.

•

Save energy and time by selecting a high spin
speed to reduce the water content in laundry

GB 5

PREPARATION OF THE WASHING

1.Sort the load according to...

• Type of fabric / care label symbol

Cottons, mixed fibres, easy care/synthetics,
wool, handwash items.

• Colour

Separate coloured and white items. Wash new
coloured items separately.

•Loading

Wash items of different sizes in the same load to
improve washing efficiency and distribution in the
drum.

• Delicates

Wash small items (e.g. nylon stockings, belts etc.)
and items with hooks (e.g. bras) in a washbag or
pillow case with a zip fastener. Always remove
curtain glides or wash curtains with the glides
inside a cotton bag.

2.Empty all pockets

Coins, safety pins etc. can damage your laundry
as well as the appliance drum and tub.

3.Fasteners

Close zips and fasten buttons or hooks; loose
belts or ribbons should be tied together.

Stain removal

•

Blood, milk, eggs etc. are generally removed by
the automatic enzyme phase of the programme.

•

For stains made by red wine, coffee, tea, grass,
fruit etc. add a stain remover to the main wash
chamber of the detergent dispenser.

•

Pre-treat heavily-soiled areas with stain remover
if necessary.

Dyeing and bleaching

•

Only use dyes and bleaches that are suitable for
washing machines.

•

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

•

Plastic and rubber parts of the washing machine
can be stained by dyes or bleaches.

LOADING THE LAUNDRY

1.

Open the door.

2.

Unfold the laundry and place it loosely in the
drum. Observe the load sizes given in the quick
reference guide.

Note:

Overloading the machine reduces the

wash efficiency and encourages creasing.

3.

Close the door.

DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES

Keep detergents and additives in a dry
place out of the reach of children.
The type of detergent depends on:

•

type of fabric (cottons, easy care/synthetics,
delicate items, wool).

Note:

•

•

•
Remarks:

•

•

•

•

•

•

Use only specific detergents for wool.
Colour.
washing temperature.
Degree and type of soiling.

Whitish residues on dark fabrics are due to the
insoluble water softeners in modern phosphate­free detergents. If you notice this problem, shake
or brush the affected items or use a liquid
detergent.
Use only detergents and additives specifically
produced for domestic washing machines.
When using descaling agents, dyes or bleaches
for the pre-wash, make sure that they are
suitable for use in domestic washing machines.
Descalers could contain products which could
damage your washing machine.
Do not use any solvents (e.g. turpentine,
benzine). Do not wash fabrics in the machine
which have been treated with solvents or
flammable liquids.
Do not use liquid detergent for the main wash
when having activated the “prewash” option (if
available on your model).
Do not use liquid detergents when activating the
“Start Delay” function (if available on your
washing machine).

Dosage

Follow the dosage recommendations on the
detergent pack. They depend on:

•

Degree and type of soiling

•

size of wash full load: follow the detergent
manufacturer’s instructions;
half load: 3/4 the amount used for a full load;
minimum load (about 1 kg):
1/2 the dose recommended for a full load

•

water hardness in your area (request information
from the water company). Soft water requires
less detergent than hard water (refer to the
water hardness table in the operating
instructions).

Note:

Too much detergent can result in excess foam
formation, which reduces washing efficiency.
If the washing machine detects too much foam, it
may prevent spinning. Insufficient detergent may
result in grey laundry in time and also calcifies the
heating system, drum and hoses.
