Disposal

Tips for environmental protection

Packaging materials

The materials marked with the symbol are recyclable.

>PE<=polyethylene >PS<=polystyrene >PP<=polypropylene

This means that they can be recycled by disposing of them properly in appropriate collection containers.

Machine

Use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance. Help to keep your country tidy!

To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these tips:

• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).

• The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded.

• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.

• Measure out detergent according to the water hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of laundry being washed.

Child safety

• Children are often not aware of how dangerous electrical appliances can be. When the machine is working, children should be carefully supervised and not be allowed to play with the appliance.

• The packaging components (e.g. plastic film, polystyrene) can be dangerous to children - danger of suffocation! Keep them out of children’s reach.

• Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children’s reach.

• Make sure that children or pets do not climb into the drum.

• When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the electrical supply cable and destroy the plug with the remaining cable. Disable the door catch in order to prevent children from becoming trapped inside while playing.

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.

Hydraulic connection

There should be a COLD WATER tap near the washing machine with a screwing on connection pipe of 3/4 gas 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. Place the enclosed rubber joint, delivered in a plastic bag together with the appliance (A), at the very end of the inlet hose and carefully screw the pipe to the tap taking care not to damage the screwdrive and fix the nut well on to the end in order to avoid leaking.

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.)

3. Place the discharging hose in a washbasin or sink with the aid of the bent piece delivered separately. The bent piece has to be entered into the tube’s mouth in order to assure the support. Aforesaid piece

allows the hose to be fixed to the wall by means of an opening on the upper part and that way the hose does not move and its falling is avoided.

1,5 m. Max.

60 cm. Min.

90 cm. Max.

IMPORTANT: The distance from the floor to the highest part of the hose should be between 60 to 90 cm. (It is advised to be between 60 and 70 cm). The hose must not be bent nor twisted to avoid clogging. Should a prolongation of the discharging hose be unavoidable this must never surpass 1.5 m and must be of the same diameter as the original hose. Make sure the hoses are not too tense.

Levelling

Level the appliance by loosening or tightening the feet. Once in the right position fix the feet by pushing the nuts (A) (see graphic P0254) against the base of the case. Accurate levelling will prevent vibration, noise and displacement of the appliance during operation.

Some vibration is inevitable, especially if placed on a wooden floor. Wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibrations. If possible always place the appliance on a solid floor.

Electrical connections

Before plugging the appliance make sure that: 1º. the mains of your installation is the same as on

the rating plate of your appliance (the plate is sticked to the rear of the appliance).

2º. The meter, the fuses, the wiring and the socket outlet can support the max. power absorbed stated on the rating plate.

3º. The socket base and the plug must fit in adequately without any reducing interposition, multiple outlets or adapters. If necessary replace the socket outlet by an adequate one.

The applicable rules for electrical security require an adequate earthing. The plug of the appliance is provided with such a device.

Make sure your socket outlet is provided with an adequate earthing too.

The manufacturer declines any liability in case of accidents or incidents should these safety measures not be observed.

The power supply cable only can be replaced by a person of our Service Force Centre.

During programme development, the light corresponding to the cycle phase which the machine is in will illuminate. In other words, if the machine is in the pre-wash or wash phases the light LAVADO will come on; if it is in the rinses phase the light will come on; if it is in the spin phase the light will come on; and finally, if it is in the drain phase the light will come on.

The light FIN will illuminate to indicate that the selected programme has finished.

The light FIN flashes in the event of operating problems:

• 4 flashes: door open.

• 2 flashes: problem with water draining.

• 1 flash: problem with water supply.

For more information see paragraph "Something not working?" at the end of this booklet.

8. Spin speed selector dial

This dial allows the reduction of the final and the intermediate spin speed or to select NO SPIN option.

The speeds on the dials refer to cotton programmes. In FA1025E model: position 1000 r.p.m. corresponds to 900 r.p.m. for synthetics and 700 for wool and delicates.

Position 500 r.p.m. is common for all fabrics. In FA825E model: position 800 r.p.m. corresponds

to 800 r.p.m. for synthetics and 700 for wool and delicates.

Position 400 r.p.m. is common for all fabrics.

• NO SPIN: by selecting this option all the spinning phases are turned off. To be used for extremely delicate items.

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

90° for normally soiled white cottons and linen

(e.g. tea cloths, towels, tablecloths, sheets...)

60° 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).

(cold)for delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed

30°-40° laundry including synthetic fibres and

woollens.

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 difficult 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: bathrobe 1200 g napkin 100 g quilt cover 700 g sheet 500 g pillow case 200 g tablecloth 250 g towelling towel 200 g tea cloth 100 g night dress 200 g ladies’ briefs 100 g man’s work shirt 600 g man’s shirt 200 g man’s pyjamas 500 g blouse 100 g men’s underpants 100 g

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).

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.

Page 13

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.

The bleaching agent (chlorine) can be used only for white or fast coloured cotton and linen items. Pour it into the compartment marked .

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 manufacturer’s 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.

The drainage area must be cleaned if the pump has been blocked with objects such as buttons, safety pins, coins, etc. , or if lint has built up because clothes that generate lint have been washed at high temperatures.

• Pull out the plug from the power socket.

• If necessary, wait until the water has cooled down.

• Open the drainage area door.

• Place a bowl to collect the water.

• Release the emergency emptying hose, place it in

the bowl and remove its cap, when the bowl is full put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose.

• Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until you

have completely emptied the washing machine.

• To continue, unscrew the lid of the diaphragm by

turning it counter clockwise and pull it out.

• Always keep a rag nearby to dry up spillage of

water when removing the cover.

• Remove the objects such as buttons, coins and the

lint that has been accumulated in the area of the pump impeller by rotating it.

• Screw the lid of the diaphragm clockwise, be sure

is completely tighten.

6. Frost precautions

If the machine is installed in a place where the temperature could drop below 0°C, proceed as follows:

• disconnect the appliance;

• close the water tap;

• if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;

• open the drainage area door;

• place a bowl to collect the water that will flow out;

• release the emergency emptying hose, place it in the bowl and remove its cap;

• when the water stops flowing out, put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose, replace the emergency emptying hose in its initial position and close the drainage area door.

By doing this, any water remaining in the machine is removed, avoiding the formation of ice and, consequently, breakage of the affected parts.

When you use the machine again, make sure that the ambient temperature is above 0°C.

Something not working?

Problems which can be resolved without a technician's help.

Problems Possible cause

- The machine does not start up:

• The door has not been closed.

• The plug is not properly inserted in the power socket.

• There is no power in the socket.

• The main fuse or the fuse in the plug has blown.

• The programme selector dial is not correctly positioned and INICIO / PAUSA button has not been pressed.

• The water tap is off.

• The filter in the inlet hose is blocked.

• The inlet hose may be squashed or kinked.

• The door has not been closed.

• The end of the drain hose is lower than the machine.

• The end of the drain hose is submerged in water.

• There is no air circulation in the installation, between the machine drain hose and the one in the house.

• The drain hose may be squashed or kinked.

•

ANTIARRUGAS option has been selected.

• The drain pump may be blocked.

• The drain hose extension is not correct. Follow the

instructions to connect it to the drain.

• The drainage system pipes are blocked.

• The laundry load is off balance: redistribute the

garments in the drum to allow the machine to spin.

• option has been selected.

• There is too much detergent or an inappropriate detergent has been used (it makes too much foam).

• 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.

• The drain hose may be damaged or is not securely positioned to prevent leaks.

• The detergent dispenser drawer is clogged.

• The drainage system pipes are blocked.

Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling technical service. Before contacting your local Service Force Centre, please check the following possible problems listed below.

During machine operation it is possible that FIN light flashes to indicate that something is not working correctly.

• 4 flashes = door open.

• 2 flashes = the water is not drained.

• 1 flash = there is no water filling. Once the problem has been eliminated, press INICIO / PAUSA button to restart the programme. If after all

checks, the problem persists, contact your local Service Centre.

- The machine does not fill:

- The machine fills then empties immediately:

- The machine does not drain and / or does not spin:

- There is water on the floor:

Problems Possible cause

• Little detergent or an inappropriate one has been used. An insufficient amount of detergent leaves the laundry looking grey.

• Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing.

• The correct wash programme has not been selected.

• Too much laundry has been placed in the drum.

• The transit bolts and packaging have not been removed.

• The machine is in contact with the wall or furniture.

• The machine is not level and stable (check diagonally).

• The laundry is not well distributed in the drum.

• There may not be enough laundry in the drum.

• The programme is still running.

• The door lock has not released yet.

• Water in the tub: if there is water in the tub, the door cannot be opened (

ANTIARRUGAS option

selected).

• The electronic off balance detection device has interrupted the spin 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 off balance 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 re-select the spin programme.

• The machine is fitted with a type of motor which makes an unusual noise compared to other traditional motors. This new motor ensures a smoother starting and an even distribution of the laundry in the drum when the machine is spinning. At the same time it increases the appliance stability.

• Appliances using modern technology are energy efficient. They use very little water without affecting washing results.

- Unsatisfactory washing results:

- The machine vibrates when spinning:

- The door does not open::

- Spinning starts late or the machine does not spin:

- The machine makes an unusual noise:

- No water is visible in the drum:
