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 cottons

90° or 95°

50°/60°

30°-40°-Cold

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.

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.

13

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:

1200 gbathrobe

100 gnapkin
700 gquilt cover
500 gsheet
200 gpillow case

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.

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.

14

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.
The washer-dryer 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.
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, or from your local authority.

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.

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 or with the suitable tool, that you
can find in the bag containing the instruction
booklet (or fitted on the appropriate recess
behind the detergent dispenser drawer
depending on the model).

• place a bowl with a small edge close to the

pump to collect any spillage

To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive
compartment should be removed.

If you are unable to identify or solve the
problem, contact our service centre.
Before telephoning, make a note of the model,
serial number and purchase date of your
machine: the Service Centre will require this
information.

The machine is fitted with a type of motor which makes
an unusual noise compared with other traditional
motors. This new motor ensures a softer start and more
even distribution of the laundry in the drum when

tighten the ring nut
again to prevent leaks.

4. Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4” thread.

Always use the hose supplied with the
appliance. The inlet hose must not be
lengthened. If it is too short and you do not
wish to move the tap, you will have to
purchase a new, longer hose specially
designed for this type of use.

Firstly form a hook in the end of the drain
hose using the «U» piece supplied. Place the
drain hose into your standpipe, which should

Levelling

34

Level the washer-dryer by raising or lowering
the feet. The feet may be tight to adjust as they
incorporate a self locking nut, but the machine
MUST be level and stable.

Any necessary
adjustment can be
made with a spanner.
Accurate levelling
prevents vibration,
noise and

displacement of the
machine during operation.
Some vibration is inevitable, especially if
mounted on a wooden floor.
Sprung wooden floors are particularly
susceptible to vibration. For advice, consult a
builder. If possible, always place the machine
on a solid floor.

Special conditions

If the floor is carpeted or covered with crumbly
or soft material, insert a rigid support base
under the feet to prevent noise, vibration or
displacement. The base should protrude a few
centimetres beyond the edges of the machine.

WARNING!

The machine should NOT be placed on deep
pile carpeting.

NOTE

Please ensure that when the appliance is
installed it is easily accessible for the engineer
in the event of a breakdown.

In the interest of the environment

washer-dryers and dishwashers should be
connected to the FOUL drainage system, the
water will then be taken to a sewage works for
treatment before being discharged safely into a
river. It is essential that these appliances are
not connected to the surface water drainage
system as this water is discharged directly into
a river or stream and may cause pollution.
