PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
• Packing
The packaging is marked with the recycling
symbol , signifying that it can be 100%
recycled.
• Appliance
The appliance is made of recyclable
materials. Dispose of the appliance in
conformity with environmental regulations.
Make it inoperable: pull out the plug and cut
off the power cable so that the appliance
cannot be connected to the mains.
• Eco-tips
A full load (depending on the programme
-
selected) gives the best energy and water
consumption.
Laundry which is lightly to moderately soiled
-
does not require a prewash.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The appliance must only be used in the
•
household for the prescribed uses.
All connections to the water and electrical
•
mains must be made in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions and following
local utility company safety regulations (see
“Installation Instructions”).
Before any cleaning and maintenance switch
•
off the machine or disconnect it from the
mains.
Switch off the washing machine and turn off
•
the tap(s) whenever the machine is not in
use.
Lightly soiled laundry should be washed at a
-
low temperature or with a short programme.
When washing small loads press the “Lightly
-
Soiled”/“Half load” button (if present) and
use less detergent.
If you wish to dry the laundry in a household
-
dryer, use the highest spin speed (depending
on the programme).
The dryer will then consume less energy.
Do not exceed the recommended dosages
-
on the detergent packet.
Only use bleach or stain remover if
-
absolutely necessary.
Never use excessive force to open the door.
•
Children must not be allowed to play with or
•
inside the machine. Do not rest any weight on
the door.
Packaging materials can be dangerous for
•
children. Keep the packaging material
(plastic bags, polystyrene, etc.) well out of
their reach.
The appliance conforms to European safety
•
regulations, EC directive 93/68/EWG and EN
60555.
MOVING AND TRANSPORTING THE APPLIANCE
Pull out the mains plug.
1.
Shut off the water tap(s).
2.
Disconnect the inlet and drain hoses.
3.
Drain residual water from the appliance and
4.
hoses (see “Draining Residual Water”).
Fit the transit bolts (see “Installation
5.
Instructions”).

SORTING THE WASH
1. Sort the load according to:
• Fabric type / care label symbol
Cotton, mixed fibres, synthetics, wool.
• Colours
Separate coloured and white articles. Wash new
coloured articles separately.
• Article size
Washing articles of different sizes together
improves wash efficiency and distributes the load
better in the drum.
• Fabric delicacy
Wash delicates separately. Select the appropriate
special programme for machine - washable wool
, curtains or delicates. Either remove curtain
hooks or tie into a cloth bag. Only wash machinewashable fabrics. Wash small articles (e.g. nylon
stockings, belts etc.) and articles with hooks (e.g.
bras) in a cloth bag or pillow case with zip.
2. Empty all pockets
Coins, safety pins etc. can damage the laundry,
drum and tub.
3. Closures
Close zips and hooks and eyes. Loose belts or
ribbons should be tied together.

STAIN REMOVAL
Blood, milk, egg, and other organic substances are
•
generally removed by the enzyme phase of the
programme.
To remove red wine, coffee, tea, grass and fruit
•
stains, etc. add a biological stain removing agent
to the main wash in chamber or a chlorine
bleach in chamber of the detergent drawer
(depending on the model).
Particularly stubborn stains can be treated with
•
stain remover before the wash.
LOADING THE WASH
Open the door.
1.
Load the articles one at a time loosely into the
2.
drum, without overfilling.
Close the door.
3.
LOAD CAPACITY
See the programme overview.
Overloading the machine reduces the wash
Note:
efficiency and encourages creasing.

DETERGENT AND ADDITIVES
CHOOSING THE RIGHT DETERGENT
The type of detergent depends on
•
the type of fabric (cottons, synthetics,
delicates, wool)
Note:
Use only specific detergents for
washing wool.
•
colour
•
wash temperature
•
degree and type of soiling
Note:
•
Whitish residues on dark fabrics are due to
the insoluble water softeners in modern
phosphate-free detergents. If this occurs,
shake or brush out the fabric or use liquid
detergents.
•
Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry
place out of the reach of children.
•
Use only detergent and fabric conditioner
specifically produced for automatic domestic
washing machines.
•
When using water softeners, descaling
agents, dyes or bleaches, make sure that
they are suitable for use in domestic washing
machines.
•
Do not use solvents in the machine (e.g.
turpentine, benzine, etc.). Do not wash
fabrics in the machine which have been
treated with solvents or flammable liquids.
DETERGENT DOSAGES
Do not exceed manufacturers’ recommended
dosages as shown on the detergent package.
The amounts depend on
•
degree and type of soiling
•
size of wash
-
full load: according to manufacturers’
instructions
-
half load: 3/4 of the normal amount
-
minimum load (about 1 kg): 1/2 the amount
used for full load
•
water hardness in your area (request
information from the water company): soft
water requires less detergent than hard
water.
Note:
•
Overdosing the detergent results in
excessive foaming and reduces the wash
efficiency. If the washing machine detects too
much foam, it may prevent spinning.
•
Using insufficient detergent results in grey
laundry. The heating elements and drum also
build up scale.
•
If using chlorine bleach, follow the bleach
instructions carefully. Overdosing the bleach
can damage the wash.
