DEFINITION OF USE

This washing machine is exclusively destined to wash machine washable laundry in quantities which are usual for private households.

Observe the instructions given in these Instructions for Use, the Installation Guide and the Programme Chart when using the washing machine.

Keep these Instructions for Use, the Programme Chart and the Installation Guide; if you pass on the washing machine to another person, also give him/her Instructions for Use, Programme Chart and Installation Guide.

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 prior to 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 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

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

Move the appliance without lifting 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.

Make sure that the ventilation openings in the base of your washing machine (if available on your model) are not obstructed by a carpet or other material.

4.Water inlet

Connect the water supply inlet hose in accordance with the regulations of your local water company.

For models with one inlet valve: cold water

For models with two inlet valves: cold AND hot water, or cold water only (see separate Installation Guide).

Water tap:

Water pressure

 

(flow pressure):

100-1000 kPa (1-10 bar).

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 connection

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

Data regarding voltage, power consumption and protection requirements is given on the inside of the door.

The appliance must be connected to the mains by means of a socket with an earth connection in accordance with current regulations. The washing machine must be earthed by law. The manufacturer declines all liability for damage to property or injury to persons or animals due to non-compliance with the directions given above.

Do not use extension leads or multiple 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.

Mains cable replacement is only to be carried out by After-Sales Service.

The appliance must only be used in the household for the prescribed uses.

Minimum housing dimensions:

Width:

600 mm

Height:

PREPARATION OF THE WASHING

1.Sort the laundry 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 articles separately.

Size

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 cloth bag or pillow case with zip. Always remove curtain rings or wash curtains with the rings 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.

To remove red wine, coffee, tea, grass and fruit

stains 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.Load the articles one at a time loosely into the drum, without overfilling. Observe the load sizes given in the quick reference guide.

Note: overloading the machine will result in unsatisfactory washing results and creased laundry.

3.Close the door.

DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES

Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry place out of the reach of children!

The choice of detergent depends on:

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

Note: Use only specific detergents for washing wool and garments made of microfibres (like sports or swimwear).

Colour.

The wash temperature.

Degree and type of soiling.

Remarks:

Any whitish residues on dark fabrics are caused by insoluble compounds used in phosphate-free powder detergents. If this occurs, shake or brush out the fabric or use liquid detergents.

Use only detergents and additives specifically produced for domestic washing machines.

When using descaling agents, dyes or bleaches for the prewash (if available on your model), 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 machine wash fabrics that 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 detergent 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 amount used for a full load

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

Notes:

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 and also calcifies the heating system, drum and hoses.
