11.3 Fluff in the fabrics

During the washing and/or drying phase, some types of fabric, (sponge, wool, sweatshirt) could release fluff.

The released fluff could stick to the fabrics during the next cycle.

This inconvenient increases with technical fabrics.

To prevent the fluff in your laundry, we recommend that you:

• To do not wash dark fabrics after you washed and dried light coloured fabrics (new sponge, wool, sweatshirt) and the contrary.
• To dry this type of fabrics at open air when they are washed the first time.
• To clean the drain filter.
  After the drying phase, clean the empty drum, the gasket and the door with a wet cloth.

To remove the fluff inside the drum, set a special programme:

Empty the drum.
- Clean the drum, the gasket and the door with a wet cloth.
- Set the rinse programme.
- Press at the same time button 9 and button 7 to activate the cleaning function until the display shows CLE.
- Press button 4 to start the programme.

12. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

12.1 The laundry load

• Divide the laundry in: white, coloured, synthetics, delicates and wool.
• Obey the washing instructions that are on the laundry care labels.
• Do not wash together white and coloured items.
• Some coloured items can discolour with the first wash. We recommend that you wash them separately for the first times.
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers, hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.
• Empty the pockets and unfold the items.
• Turn inside out multilayered fabrics, wool and items with painted illustrations.
• Remove hard stains.
• Wash with a special detergent heavy soil stains.
• Be careful with the curtains. Remove the hooks or put the curtains in a washing bag or pillowcase.

• Do not wash in the appliance :

• Laundry without hems or with cuts

• Underwired bras.
• Use a washing bag to wash small items.
• A very small load can cause balance problems with the spin phase. If this occurs, adjust manually the items in the tub and start the spin phase again.

12.2 Stubborn stains

For some stains, water and detergent is not sufficient.

We recommend that you remove these stains before you put the items in the appliance.

Special stain removers are available. Use the special stain remover that is applicable to the type of stain and fabric.

12.3 Detergents and additives

• Only use detergents and additives specially made for washing machines.
• Do not mix different types of detergents.
• To help the environment, do not use more than the correct quantity of detergent.
• Obey the instructions that you find on the on packaging of these products.
• Use the correct products for the type and colour of the fabric, the programme temperature and the level of soil.
• If you use liquid detergents, do not set the prewash phase.
• If your appliance has not the detergent dispenser with the flap device, add the liquid detergents with a dosing ball.

12.4 Water hardness

If the water hardness in your area is high or moderate, we recommend that you use a water softener for washing machines. In

areas where the water hardness is soft it is not necessary to use a water softener. To know the water hardness in your area, contact your local water authority. Obey the instructions that you find on the packaging of the products. Equivalent scales measure the water hardness:

Water hardness table

Level	Type	Water hardness
		°dH	°T.H.	mmol/l	Clarke
1	soft	0-7	0-15	0-1.5	0-9
2	medium	8-14	16-25	1.6-2.5	10-16
3	hard	15-21	26-37	2.6-3.7	17-25
4	very hard	>21	>37	>3.7	>25

12.5 Drying hints

15. INSTALLATION

15.1 Fixing plate kit (4055171146)

Available from your authorized dealer.

If you install the appliance on a plinth, secure the appliance in the fixing plates. Follow the instructions supplied with the kit.

15.2 Unpacking

1. Use the gloves. Remove the external film. If necessary, use a cutter.

2. Remove the cardboard top.

3. Remove the polystyrene packaging materials.

4. Remove the internal film.

5. Open the door. Remove the polystyrene piece from the door seal and all the items from the drum.

1. Put one of the polystyrene packaging elements on the floor behind the appliance. Carefully put down the appliance with the rear side on it. Make sure not to damage the hoses.
2. Remove the polystyrene protection from the bottom.
3. Pull up the appliance in vertical position.
4. Remove the power supply cable and the drain hose from the hose holders.
5. Remove the three bolts. Use the key supplied with the appliance.
6. Pull out the plastic spacers.

1. Put the plastic caps in the holes. You can find these caps in the user manual bag.

WARNING!

Remove all the packaging and the transit bolts before you install the appliance.

We recommend that you keep the packaging and the transit bolts for when you move the appliance.

15.3 Positioning and levelling

Install the appliance on a flat hard floor.
- Make sure that carpets do not stop the air circulation below the appliance.
- Make sure that the appliance does not touch the wall or other units
- Loosen or tighten the feet to adjust the level. A correct adjustment of the appliance level prevents the vibration, noise and the movement of the appliance when in operation.

• The appliance must be level and stable.

CAUTION!

Do not put cardboard, wood or equivalent materials below the appliance feet to adjust the level.

Make sure that there is sufficient access after the installation for possible repairs by a qualified person.

Installation on suspended flooring

Suspended wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration. To help prevent vibration we recommend you place a waterproof wood panel, at least 15 mm thick

under the appliance, secured to at least 2 floor beams with screws, the wood panel must extend beyond the front feet. If possible install the appliance in one of the corners of the room, where the floor is more stable

15.4 The inlet hose

• Connect the hose to the appliance. Turn the inlet hose only left or right. Loose the ring nut to set it in the correct position.

• Connect the water inlet hose to the cold water tap with 3/4 thread.

CAUTION!

Make sure that there are no leaks from the couplings.

Do not use an extension hose if the inlet hose is too short. Contact the service centre for the replacement of the inlet hose.

Water-stop device

The inlet hose has a water stop device. This device prevents water leaks in the hose because of its natural ageing. The red sector in the window «A» shows this fault .

If this occur, close the water tap and contact the service centre to replace the hose.

15.5 Water drainage

There are different procedures to connect the drain hose:

With the plastic hose guide.

• On the edge of a sink.

• Make sure that the plastic guide cannot move when the appliance drains. Attach the guide to the water tap or the wall.

• To a stand pipe with vent-hole.

Refer to the illustration. 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 inner diameter of the drainpipe must be larger than the external diameter of the drain hose.

Without the plastic hose guide.

• To a sink spigot.

Refer to the illustration. Put the drain hose in the spigot and tighten it with a clip. Make sure that the drain hose makes a loop to prevent that remaining particles go in the appliance from the sink.

• Directly to a built-in drain pipe in the room wall and tighten it with a clip.

You can extend the drain hose to maximum 400~cm . Contact the service centre for the other drain hose and the extension.

16. ENVIRONMENT CONCERNS

Recycle the materials with the symbol .Put the packaging in applicable

containers to recycle it.

Help protect the environment and human health and to recycle waste of electrical

and electronic appliances. Do not dispose appliances marked with the symbol
