Ecological hints
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.
Product description
• 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.

Positioning and levelling
x 4
Level the appliance by raising or lowering the feet.
The appliance MUST be level and stable on a flat hard
floor. If necessary, check the setting with a spirit level.
Any necessary adjustment can be made with a spanner.

Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and displacement of the appliance during operation.
Repeat the levelling action, if the appliance is not level
and stable.
Water inlet
Firstly form a hook in the end of the drain hose using
the plastic hose guide supplied with the appliance .
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three
ways:
• Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plastic hose
guide.
Connect the hose to a tap
with a 3/4” thread.
35°
Loosen the ring nut to angle the hose to the left or right
depending on the position of your water tap. Do not
place the inlet hose downwards. After positioning the
inlet hose, be sure to tighten the ring nut again to prevent leaks.
Water drainage
45°
Tie the plastic hose guide to the tap with a string to
prevent that the drain hose unhooks when the appliance
is emptying.
• Onto a sink outlet spigot.
Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with a
clip, ensure a loop is formed in the drain hose to prevent
waste from the sink entering the appliance.
If the outlet spigot has not been used before, remove
any blanking plug that may be in place.
• Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less than
60 cm and not more than 100 cm.
The end of the drain hose
must always be ventilated ,
i.e. the inside diameter of
the drain pipe must be
MAX 100cm
larger than the outside diameter of the drain hose.
The drain hose must not
be kinked.
• Directly to a built-in drain pipe in the room wall.

Daily use
Sort out 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.
Before Loading The Laundry
Important! 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 any hooks
(e.g curtains).
• 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.
• Rub particularly soiled areas with a special detergent
or detergent paste.
• Treat curtains with special care.
• Wash the socks and the gloves inside the bag or a net.
Remove stubborn stains before 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).
Ball point pen and glue : moisten with acetone1), lay the
garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.
Lipstick : moisten with acetone as above, then treat stains
with methylated spirits. Treat any residual marks 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
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.

Open the door by carefully pulling the door handle
outwards
Load the laundry
Place the laundry in the
drum, one item at a time,
shaking them out as much
as possible.
Maximum Loads
Recommended loads are indicated in the «Washing Programmes».
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.
1) do not use acetone on artificial silk.

Close the door gently
Warning! Make sure
that any fabrics were
not trapped when closing
the door.
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 (40°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.
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.
For the quantity of detergent, refer always to what is written
on the product packing.
Use less detergent if:
• you are washing a small load,
• the laundry is lightly soiled,
• large amounts of foam form during washing.
Degrees of water hardness
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.
If the water hardness degree is medium or high we suggest
you to add a water softener following always the manufacturer’s instructions.
When the degree of hardness is soft, readjust the quantity
of the detergent.
