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.

on. By pressing any button the appliance will
come out of the energy saving status.
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.
13
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 ace-

Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then
treat stains with methylated spirits. Treat any residual marks with bleach.

and treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse.
Treat any residual marks with bleach.
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the
1)
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.
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 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 ex-
ceed 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.
1) do not use acetone on artificial silk

Care and cleaning
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:
