AQUAPLUS function

Camec Compact RV - AQUAPLUS function - 1

Pressing this button activates a special new wash cycle in the Cotton and Mixed Fabrics programs, thanks to a new Sensor System. This option treats the fibers of garments with care and therefore is a useful feature for people with delicate skin.

The load is washed in a much larger quantity of water and this, together with a specialised combined action of the drum rotation cycles, where water is filled and emptied, will ensure your garments have been cleaned and rinsed to perfection. The amount of water in the wash is increased so that the detergent dissolves perfectly, ensuring an efficient cleaning action. The amount of water is also increased during the rinse procedure so as to remove all traces of detergent from the fibers.

This function has been specifically designed for people with delicate and sensitive skin, for whom even a very small amount of detergent can cause irritation or allergy. You can also use this function for children's clothing and for delicate fabrics in general, or when washing garments made of toweling, where the fibers tend to absorb a greater quantity of detergent.

To ensure the best performance for your wash, this function is always activated on the Delicates and Woolens/Hand wash programs.

"COLD WASH" function

Camec Compact RV - "COLD WASH" function - 1

By pressing this button it is possible to convert every program into a cold washing one, without modifying other settings (water level, times, etc...).

"DELAY START" button

Camec Compact RV - "DELAY START" button - 1

This button allows you to to delay the start of the cycle for up to 24 hours.

To delay the start use the following procedure:

Set the required program.

Press the “Delay Start” button once to activate it (h00 appears on the display) and then press it again to set a 1 hour delay (h01 appears on the display); the pre-set delay increases by 1 hour each time the button is pressed, until h24 appears on the display, at which point pressing the button again will reset the delay start to zero.

Confirm by pressing the "START/PAUSE" button (the light on the display starts to flash). The countdown will begin and when it has finished the program will start automatically.

It is possible to cancel the delay start function with the following procedure:

Press and hold the button for 5 seconds until the display shows the settings for the program selected.

At this stage it is possible to start the program previously selected by pressing the "START/PAUSE" button or to cancel the process by setting the selector to the OFF position and then selecting another program.

SPIN SPEED function

Camec Compact RV - SPIN SPEED function - 1

Camec Compact RV - SPIN SPEED function - 2

The spin cycle is very important to remove as much water as possible from the laundry without damaging the fabrics. You can adjust the spin speed of the machine to suit your needs.

By pressing this button, it is possible to reduce the maximum speed, and if you wish, the spin cycle can be cancelled.

To reactivate the spin cycle you can press the button until you reach the spin speed you would like to set.

To help protect your fabrics, it is not possible to increase the spin speed above the speed automatically set by the wash program.

It is possible to modify the spin speed at any time without pausing the machine.

"DIGITAL" Display H 4 3 1 h:mm 2

The display's indicator system allows you to be constantly informed of the status of the washing machine:

1) SPIN SPEED

Once the program has been selected, the maximum spin speed allowed for that program appears on the display. Pressing the spin button will reduce the speed by 100 rpm each time the button is pressed. The minimum speed allowed is 400 rpm, or it is possible to omit the spin cycle by pressing the spin button repeatedly.

This flashes when the delayed start has been activated.

3) "DOOR SECURITY" indicator light

The “Door Security” indicator light is illuminated when the door is fully closed and the machine is ON. When "Start/Pause" is pressed on the machine with the door closed the indicator will flash momentarily and then illuminate.

If the door is not closed the indicator will continue to flash.

A special safety setting prevents the door from being opened immediately after the end of the cycle. Please wait for 2 minutes after the wash cycle has finished and the "Door Security" light has gone out before opening the door. At the end of the cycle turn the program selector to "OFF".

4) CYCLE DURATION

When a program is selected the display automatically shows the cycle duration, which can vary depending on the options selected.

Once the program has started the display will indicate the time remaining to the end of the wash.

The appliance calculates the time to the end of the selected program based upon a standard loading. During the cycle, the appliance corrects the time based on the size and composition of the load.

** STANDARD COTTON PROGRAMMES ACCORDING TO (EU) No 1015/2010 and No 1061/2010

COTTON PROGRAMME with a temperature of 60^ C COTTON PROGRAMME with a temperature of 40^ C

These programmes are suitable to clean normally soiled cotton laundry and they are the most efficient programmes in terms of combined energy and water consumption for washing cotton laundry.

These programmes have been developed to be compliant with the temperature on the wash label on the garments and the actual water temperature may slightly differ from the declared temperature of the cycle.

■ The 30 minute rapid program can also be used as a prewash cycle in the case of heavily soiled garments, before selecting the main wash program.

Program selector

For the various types of fabrics and various degrees of dirt the washing machine has different program bands according to: wash cycle, temperature and length of cycle (see table of washing cycle programs on P12).

COTTONS

The cottons programs have been designed for a quality wash and the rinses, with specific spin intervals, ensure perfect rinsing.

The final spin gives the most efficient removal of water.

Camec Compact RV - COTTONS - 1

MIXED AND SYNTHETIC FABRICS

The main wash and the rinse gives best results due to the rotation cycles of the drum and specific water levels.

A gentle spin ensures that the fabrics are less creased.

Camec Compact RV - MIXED AND SYNTHETIC FABRICS - 1

DELICATES

This is a new style wash cycle which alternates washing and soaking and is particularly recommended for very delicate fabrics.

The wash cycle and corresponding rinses are carried out with high water levels to ensure the best results.

Camec Compact RV - DELICATES - 1

30°

WOOL & HAND WASH PROGRAM

This program allows for a complete washing cycle for garments specified as “Machine-Washable” Wool fabrics and laundry items specified as “Hand Wash only” on the fabric label. The program has a maximum temperature of 30^ C and concludes with 3 rinses, one for fabric conditioner, and a slow spin.

Camec Compact RV - WOOL & HAND WASH PROGRAM - 1

30°

"EcoMix" PROGRAM

This innovative program allows you to wash different fabrics and colours together, such as cottons, synthetics and mixed fabrics at only 20^ C and provides an excellent cleaning performance. Consumption on this program is about 40% that of a conventional 40^ C. cottons wash.

EcoMix 20°

FAST SPIN & DRAIN

The spin program completes the spin at the maximum spin speed. This can be reduced by using the Spin Speed option button or excluded if you want to drain only.

DEDICATED "RINSE" PROGRAM

This program carries out three rinses with an intermediate spin (which can be excluded by using the correct button). It can be used for rinsing any type of fabric, eg. use after hand-washing.

Camec Compact RV - DEDICATED "RINSE" PROGRAM - 1

DAILY WASH 30°C – RAPID 14'

A complete washing cycle (wash, rinse and spin); able to wash in approximately 14 minutes:

14'

- a maximum load of 1 kg;

- lightly soiled fabrics (cotton and mixed fabrics)

It is recommended with this program that a 20% detergent loading dose (compared to the normal one) is used in order to avoid detergent waste.

DAILY WASH 30°C – RAPID 30'

A complete washing cycle (wash, rinse and spin); able to wash in approximately 30 minutes:

30'

- a maximum load of 2 kg;

- lightly soiled fabrics (cotton and mixed fabrics)

It is recommended with this program that a 20% detergent loading dose (compared to the normal one) is used in order to avoid detergent waste.

RAPID 59'

This specially designed program maintains a high quality wash performance whilst greatly reducing the wash time. The program is designed for a maximum load of 2 kg with a temperature of 40^ C and concludes with 2 rinses and a high speed spin sequence.

59'

Auto load level

The washing machine is equipped with a self-adjusting water level system.

This system enables the machine to use the amount of water needed to wash and rinse the laundry in relation to the particular load.

This results in a reduction of the water and electricity used, without in any way compromising the washing and rinsing performance.

In fact the amount of water and electricity used will always be appropriate for the clothes load. The washing machine automatically ensures excellent washing results at minimum cost whilst respecting the environment.

Detergent drawer

Camec Compact RV - Detergent drawer - 1

The detergent drawer is split into 2 compartments:

-The compartment labelled "I" is for main wash detergent.

-The compartment labelled " ✉ is for special additives ie. fabric softeners, fragrances, starch, brighteners etc.

IMPORTANT: ONLY USE LIQUID PRODUCTS IN THE SECOND COMPARTMENT.

Camec Compact RV - Detergent drawer - 2

natural_image 3D diagram of a mechanical device with labeled components (no readable text or symbols)

Detergents, washing aids and amounts to use

Choice of detergent

General purpose detergents

  • Powder detergents. For a thorough wash, with bleaching agent, particularly suitable for use in hot wash programmes (60°C and over), for heavily soiled and stained laundry.
  • Liquid detergents. Particularly suitable for grease stains, such as greasy skin marks, cosmetics and oil.
    These detergents may not be as effective for washing stained laundry, as they may not contain bleach.
  • Please only use detergents specified for use with "Front Load" washing machine.

Additional laundry aids

  • Prewash substances. For the programmed treatment of stains prior to the main wash. Using them means the subsequent wash can be at a low temperature or with bleach-free detergents.
  • Fabric softener. Prevents static build-up in synthetic fabrics and softens fabrics. If you use a tumble dryer, clothes are softened even without the use of a fabric softener.

Do not put solvents in the washing machine!

Keep detergents and other laundry products out of children's reach.

Before pouring in the detergent check that there are no foreign bodies in the detergent drawer.

Dosage details are usually shown on the detergent packaging. Please follow those instructions.

Dosages

Only use detergents which are suitable for use in a Front Load washing machine.

You will obtain the best results from your wash with the minimum use of chemical products and the best care for your laundry if you take into consideration the degree of soiling as well as the type of detergent to choose.

The amount of detergent to use depends on:

  • the degree of soiling: it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent used depending on how dirty the load is.
  • amount of laundry: it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent when washing only a small amount of laundry.

Liquid detergent dosage

Liquid detergents should be used in accordance with the instructions supplied by the brand and poured in to the first compartment of the detergent drawer.

Powder detergent dosage

For concentrated powder detergents, follow the manufacturer's instructions as to how much detergent to add to the wash.

For standard and low concentration detergents: for normally soiled laundry choose a program without prewash.

Put the detergent in compartment "2" of the drawer.

For heavily soiled laundry, choose a program with prewash.

Put 1/4 of the detergent in compartment "1", 3/4 in compartment "2" of the drawer.

Economical Washing Tips

Tips on using your appliance in the most environmentally-friendly and economical way.

Do a full load in your washing machine

To prevent any possible waste of energy, water or detergent we recommend that you put a full load in your washing machine, not exceeding the recommended maximum load size. Up to 50% energy saving can be made with one full load compared to two half load washes

When is prewashing really needed?

Only with particularly dirty loads.

Energy savings of 5 to 15% can be made by not selecting the prewash option for normal soiled laundry.

Which wash temperature should you choose?

Using stain removers before machine washing reduces the need to wash at temperatures over 60^ C.

Energy savings of up to 50% can be made by using a 60^ C wash temperature rather than 90^ C.

Washing Procedure

Sorting the laundry

  • It is recommended you wash only items which are machine washable with water and detergent and not dry-clean items.
  • If you need to wash rugs, bedspreads or other heavy items, it is best not to spin them.
  • Sort the laundry according to fabric type, degree of soiling and wash temperature: Always follow the wash care advice on the garment label for the most suitable care and treatment of the laundry

Laundry for hot wash 95°

Coloured, easy-care materials 60° 50° 40°

Delicates and wool 40° 30°

Wash by hand

Items labelled with the following symbol are not suitable for machine washing:

Dry clean

For very delicate items, such as net curtains, underwear, stockings etc., you are advised to use a laundry net or wash bag.

  • Woolen items should be labelled with the "Pure New Wool" symbol to be washed in the machine, and should also be labelled "non-matting" or "machine washable".
  • Colour often leaks from new coloured items.

This can then colour other lighter items being washed.

It is therefore recommended that coloured items should be washed for the first time separately.

For subsequent washes, colourfast items should only be washed with whites up to 40^ C.

Note: when sorting laundry

  • check that there are no metal objects in the laundry (such as paper clips, safety pins, pins, coins etc...);
  • button up pillowcases, fasten zips, hook & eye fasteners, belts and long dressing gown cords;
  • remove curtain hooks;
  • pay close attention to the labels on items
  • if you notice stubborn stains whilst sorting the laundry, remove them using a special detergent or a dedicated stain remover.

natural_image Diagram of a mechanical device with labeled parts (I and symbol), no readable text or symbols present

Selecting the wash program

Refer to the program guide or the program descriptions on the machine to select the most suitable program.

Turn the selector knob: the required program is activated.

Press additional function buttons (if required).

Check that the tap is turned on and that the drainage hose is positioned correctly.

Press the "Start/Pause" button.

The program runs with the program selector stationary on the selected program until cycle ends.

Note: If there is any disruption in the power supply while the machine is operating, a special memory stores the selected program and, when the power is restored, it continues where it left off.

When the program is finished

The word "End" will appear on the display.

Wait for the door lock to be released (about 2 minutes after the program has finished). The "Door Security" indicator light will go out.

Switch off the machine by turning the program selector on the "OFF" position. Open the door and remove the laundry. Turn off the tap.

Cleaning and routine maintenance

Do not use alcohol-based scourers and /or thinners on the outside of your washing machine, just a wipe with a damp cloth will suffice. The washing machine needs very little maintenance:

  • Cleaning the drawer compartments.
  • Cleaning the filter.

Cleaning the drawer compartments

Even if not strictly necessary, it is good to clean the compartments for cleaching detergents and additives occasionally.

A) To do this you just need to pull the drawer out firmly, but without forcing it.
B) Clean everything in the compartment under running water.
C) Put the draw back in its cavity.

Cleaning the filter

The washing machine is fitted with a special filter for handling large deposits which could block the drainage hose (coins, buttons etc.) and which can, therefore, be easily retrieved.

We recommend that the filter can cleaned at least once a month or every 30 washes (depending on machine usage)

The cleaning operation is as follows:

1) Open the lid as show in the illustration
2) Turn the filter anti-clockwise until it stops in the vertical position. Remove and clean
3) After cleaning, replace the filter, replace by turning the notch at the end of the filter clockwise. Then follow the procedures above in reverse order.
4) Close the lid.

natural_image Diagram showing a mechanical device with a curved top and internal component, before and after adjustment (no text or symbols)

Attention: if the filter needs cleaning while there is washing still in the drum, follow the instructions on the following page to empty the water. This will prevent excessive loss of water via the filter.

Cleaning the door glass

Regularly clean the door glass with a damp cloth. A build up of soiling and residues from the water may result in water leaking from the door. Do not use abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the surface.

Storing the appliance or long periods when appliance is not in use

If the appliance is being stored or is out of use for long periods, all remaining water must be completely removed from the hoses. Ensure the mains power is off, then unhook the drainage hose and point it downwards into a basin until all the water has emptied out.

When finished, put the drainage hose buck in its correct location.

Important

1 The use of environmentally friendly detergents without phosphates may produce the following results:

  • The used rinse water may be cloudier due to the presence of zeolites in suspension. This does not compromise the efficiency of the rinses.
  • The presence of white powder (zeolites) on the washing at the end of the washing cycle. This does not remain embedded in the fabric and does not alter the colour.
  • The presence of foam in the last rinse water which is not necessarily a sign of inadequate rinsing.

2 If your washing machine fails to function, carry out the checks on the previous page before contacting a Camec Authorised Dealer.

Water connection

The appliance must be connected to the water mains using the new hose supplied.

Old hosess should not be re-used.

The machine has an inlet hose with 3/4" B.S.P threaded end connection to attach between the threaded connector on the appliance and the cold water supply.

This machine only uses cold water, therefore only one hose is needed to connect to the cold water supply. Do not connect to the hot supply. Cold fill is an energy efficient system. Only the water required for the washing is heated. There is no loss of heat in the pipeline from a hot water tank to the machine.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

This washing machine is specified to operate at a voltage of 220-240 V, 50 Hz single-phase.
