Helpful hints and tips

Sorting 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

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. 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.

Removing stains

Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and detergent. It is therefore advisable to treat them prior to washing.

1) do not use acetone on artificial silk

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 acetone 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.

, lay the

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.

, then with acetic acid; treat any residual

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 spe-

cial 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 liquid detergents, a programme without prewash must be selected. Your appliance incorporates a recirculation system which allows an optimal use of the concentrated detergent. 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. 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.

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.

First use

• Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instructions.

• Remove the polystyrene block and any material from the drum.

• Pour 2 litres of water into the main wash compartment

of the detergent drawer in order to

Acoustic signals

The machine is provided with an acoustic device, which sounds in the following cases:

activate the ECO valve. Then run a cotton cycle at the highest temperature without any laundry in the machine, to remove any manufacturing residue from the drum and tub. Pour 1/2 a measure of detergent into the main wash compartment and start the machine.

By pressing the 4 and 5 buttons simultaneously for about 6 seconds, the acoustic signal is deactivated (except if there is a fault). By pressing these 2 buttons again, the acoustic signal is reactivated.

ton the appliance will come out of the energy saving status.

Warning! 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.

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.

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

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 regularly and particularly if:

• the appliance does not empty and/or spin;

• the appliance makes an unusual noise during draining

due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking the pump;

• a problem with water draining is detected (see chapter

“What to do if...” for more details).

Warning! Before opening the pump door, switch the appliance off and remove the mains plug from the

socket. Proceed as follows:

• Unplug the appliance.

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

Open the pump door. Place a container close to the pump to collect any spillage.

Pull out the emergency emptying hose, place it in the container and remove its cap.

Close the pump door.

When no more water comes out, unscrew the pump cover by turning it anti-clockwise and remove the filter. Use pliers, if necessary. Always keep a rag nearby to dry up any water spillages when removing the cover. Clean the filter under a tap, to remove any traces of fluff.

Remove foreign bodies and fluff from the filter seat and from the pump impeller.

Check carefully whether the pump impeller rotates (it rotates jerkily). If it doesn’t rotate, please contact your Service Centre. Put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose and place the latter back in its seat.

Replace the filter into the pump by inserting it correctly into the special guides. Screw the pump cover firmly by turning it clockwise.

Caution! When the appliance is in use and

depending on the programme selected there can be hot water in the pump. Never remove the pump cover during a wash cycle, always wait until the appliance has finished the cycle, and is empty. When refitting the pump cover, ensure it is securely re-tightened so as to stop leaks and young children being able to remove it.

Cleaning the water inlet filters

Important! If the appliance doesn't fill, takes long to fill with water, the starting button blinks yellow or the display (if available) shows the relevant alarm (see chapter "What to do if..." for more details), check if the water inlet filters are blocked .

Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.

• Load more laundry.

Problem Possible cause/Solution

The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in 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 unbalance disappears and normal spinning can resume. If, after 10 minutes, the laundry is still

Spinning starts late or the machine does not spin:

not evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will not spin. In this case, redistribute the load manually and select the spin programme.

• Redistribute the laundry.

The load is too small.

• Add more items, redistribute the load manually and then select the spinning programme.

The machine is fitted with a type of motor which makes an unusual noise comThe machine makes an unusual noise:

pared with other traditional motors. This new motor ensures a softer start and

more even distribution of the laundry in the drum when spinning, as well as

increased stability of the machine.

No water is visible in the drum:

Machines based on modern technology operate very economically using very

little water without affecting performance.

Installation

Unpacking

All transit bolts and packing must be removed before using the appliance. You are advised to keep all transit devices so that they can be refitted if the machine ever has to be transported again.

After removing all the packaging, carefully lay machine on it's back to remove the polystyrene base from the bottom.

Remove the power supply cable and the hoses from the hose holders on the rear of the appliance.

Unscrew the three bolts. Slide out the relevant plas-

tic spacers.

Open the porthole and remove the polystyrene block fitted on the door seal.

Fill the smaller upper hole and the two large ones with the corresponding plastic plug caps supplied in the bag containing the instruction booklet.

Positioning

Install the machine on a flat hard floor. Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that the machine does not touch the wall or other kitchen units. Level the washing machine 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. Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor.

If necessary, check the setting with a spirit level.

Water inlet

Warning! This appliance must be connected to a cold water supply

Caution! Before connecting up the appliance to new

pipework or to pipework that has not been used for some time, run off a reasonable amount of water to flush out any debris that may have collected

Caution! Do not use the hose from your previous

appliance to connect to water supply.

Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4” thread. Always use the hose supplied with the appliance.

35°

The other end of the inlet hose which connects to the appliance can be turned as showed in the picture. Do not place the inlet hose downwards. Angle the hose to the left or right depending on the position of your water tap. Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring nut. After positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten the ring nut again to prevent leaks.

Caution! 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.

45°

Water drainage

The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:

Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plastic hose guide supplied with the machine.

In this case, make sure the end cannot come unhooked when the machine is emptying. This could be done by tying it to the tap with a piece of string or attaching it to the wall.

In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must be above the trap so that the bend is at least 60 cm above the ground. Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm. The end of the drain hose must always be ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain pipe must be larger than the outside diameter of the drain hose. The drain hose must not be kinked.

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 pre-

washing in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).

• The machine works more economically if it is fully loa-

ded.

• 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 hard-

ness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of laundry being washed.
