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, woolen.

Temperatures

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.

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 woolen: 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:

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.

90° or 95°

and linen (e.g. tea cloths, towels,

cotton or synthetic fibres and for

lightly soiled white cotton (e.g.

underwear).

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.

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, woolen, 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 woolen,

● liquid detergents, preferably for low

temperature wash programmes (60°C max)

for all types of fabric, or special for woolen

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.

Follow the product manufacturer’s

recommendations on quantities to use and do

not exceed the «MAX» mark in the

detergent dispenser drawer.

132962260_EN.qxd 17/06/2008 17.15 Page 11

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 manufacturers’ instructions

on quantities to use.

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.

To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive

compartment should be removed.

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 necessary wait until the water has cooled

down.

● Place a container

close to the pump (A)

to collect any

spillage.

● Pull out the

Care and cleaning

132962260_EN.qxd 17/06/2008 17.15 Page 16

● Remove any objects from the pump impeller

by rotating it.

● Put the cap back on the emergency emptying

hose and place the latter back in its seat.

● Screw the pump cover fully in.

IMPORTANT!

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

replacing the cover, ensure it is securely

retightened so as to stop leaks and young

children being able to remove it.

Cleaning the water inlet filter

If your water is very hard or contains traces of

lime deposit, the water inlet filter may become

clogged. It is therefore a good idea to clean it

from time to time.

Turn off the water tap.

Unscrew the water

inlet hose. Clean the

filter using a hard

bristle brush.

Tighten up the inlet

hose.

The dangers of freezing

If the machine is exposed to temperatures

below 0°C, certain precautions should be taken.

● Turn off the water tap.

● Unscrew the inlet hose.

● Place the end of the emergency emptying

hose and that of the inlet hose in a bowl

placed on the floor and let water drain out.

● Screw the water inlet hose back on and

reposition the emergency emptying hose

after having put the cap on again.

● When you intend to start the machine up

again, make sure that the room temperature

is above 0°C.

IMPORTANT!

Every time you drain the water through the

emergency emptying hose you must pour 2

litres of water into the main wash compartment

of the detergent drawer and then run the drain

programme. This will activate the ECO VALVE

device avoiding that part of the detergent

remains unused at next washing.

Emergency emptying out

If the water is not discharged, proceed as

follows to empty out the machine:

● pull out the plug from the power socket;

● close the water tap;

● if necessary, wait until the water has cooled

down;

● place a bowl on the floor and place the end

of the emergency emptying hose into the

bowl. Remove its cap. The water should

drain by gravity into the bowl. When the bowl

is full, put the cap back on the hose. Empty

the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water

stops flowing out;

● clean the pump if necessary as previously

described;

● replace the emergency emptying hose in its

seat after having plugged it;

● screw the pump cover again.

● Wait until the door is released.

There is water in the drum.

● Select drain or spin programme to empty out the water.

Spinning starts late or the machine

does not spin:

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 20 minutes, the laundry is still not

evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will not

spin. In this case, redistribute the load manually and

select the spin programme.

for any unevenness in the floor. After having

levelled the machine, tighen the lock nuts.

Water inlet

Attention !

Do not place the inlet hose downwards.

Angle the hose to the left or right depending

on the position of your water tap.

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

Always use the hose supplied with the

appliance.

Do not use the hose from your previous

machine to connect to the water supply.

Installation should comply with local water

authority and building regulations requirements.

Aminimum water pressure of 0.05 MPa is

required for safe operation of the appliance.

If you cannot make the cold water connection

direct from the rising mains, you may be able to

operate the appliance from your cold water stor-

age system. There should be a minimum dis-

tance of between the appliance’s inlet and the

bottom of the water storage tank.

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.

Onto a sink outlet spigot.

If the outlet spigot has not been used before,

remove any blanking plug that may be in place.

Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure

with a clip. Ensure a loop is formed in the drain

hose (see diagram) to prevent waste from the

sink entering the washing machine.

132962260_EN.qxd 17/06/2008 17.16 Page 23

Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not

less than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm. The
