Important: Ensure that the transit bolts have been removed prior to using the machine.

Recommendations

• Residues of detergent or softener left in the detergent drawer for long periods will dry and stick to the detergent drawer. To prevent this put the detergent and softener into the detergent drawer just before washing.
• It is recommended that the pre-wash programme should only be used for very dirty clothes.
• Do not exceed the maximum loading capacity.
• When the machine is not in use, keep the water tap closed.
• The appliance is not intended for use by people (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• If the appliance is not to be used for prolonged periods of time, unplug the appliance, close the water tap and leave the door ajar to keep the inside of the machine dry and to prevent unpleasant odours from developing.
• As a result of the quality control procedures during production, a certain amount of water may remain in the appliance. This is normal and does not signify a fault.
• Do not remove the rating plate. The information on it is important.
• This appliance should not be installed in locations where the ambient temperature may fall below 0°C. Use in ambient temperatures below 0°C may damage the machine.

Before first use

When your washing machine has been correctly installed, we recommend that you pre-clean the machine.

This is to check that the installation, the connections and the drainage are all correct, and to thoroughly clean the inside of the washing machine before any wash programmes are run.

Prior to pre-cleaning you should ensure the transit bolts have been removed.

• Select the Cotton 90°C programme and add a normal dose of detergent into the detergent dispenser.
• Press the Start/Pause button.

Preparing Garments for Washing

• Wash lightly soiled garments using a short programme.
• Use a programme without prewash for medium-soiled garments.
• Wash heavily soiled garments using a long programme with prewash.
• Wash white and coloured loads separately.
  • We recommend that small garments are placed in a wash bag.
  • We recommend using the delicate programmes for sensitive fabrics
• Separate clothes according to their types (cotton, synthetic, sensitive, woollen, etc.), required washing temperatures and level of dirtiness.

• Since new coloured clothes may shed dye on the first wash, wash them separately.

• Remove any metal pieces found on the items to be washed, for example curtain hooks.

• Fasten all zips and buttons.
• Turn garments, such as knitted fabrics, inside out.
• Before placing the clothes in the drum, make sure all the pockets are empty. Any small objects may block the drain pump.
  • We recommend loading the washing machine to its full capacity for best water and energy efficiency.
• Whenever possible, we recommend that you wash garments of different sizes within the same wash programme. This improves the washing action and also aids the correct distribution of the garments in the drum when spin-drying, and the washing machine will therefore be quieter.

Detergents and additives

Your washing machine's detergent dispenser has three sections as shown in figure 1.

Add the required amount of detergent and fabric softener into the specific sections of the detergent dispenser before starting the wash programme.

The detergent dispenser is designed to allow the use of liquid detergents rather than adding them to the drum. You should ensure that you pull the blue tab outwards and then release it into the vertical position, as shown in figure 2. Only add detergent to the MAX level.

To use powder detergents again, lift the blue tab back up and relocate it by pushing it back into the dispenser housing.

For washloads that require pre-washing, add 14 of the required detergent into the prewash section, and the remainder to the detergent section.

Do not exceed the MAX level in the fabric softener section and ensure that concentrated fabric softeners are diluted before use for best washing results.

Remember that the amount of detergent to be used will always depend on:

• The amount of clothes to be washed.
• How heavily the clothes are soiled.
- The hardness of the water (Information on water hardness in your area can be obtained from your local water board).

We recommend the use of a decalcifying product if the water hardness is high in your area.

Eco Note

The use of more detergent than necessary will not improve your washing results, and will have a negative effect on the preservation of the environment.

We therefore recommend you follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions.

Loading the washing machine

• Open the door.
• Add the items to be washed separately, ensuring they are loaded evenly.
• When closing the door, ensure that no item is trapped between the door and the door seal.
• Close the door securely, otherwise the programme will not start.

(*) Standard 40^ C and 60^ C cotton programmes are the most efficient in terms of combined energy and water consumption, and are suitable for washing normally soiled cotton laundry.

Please note:

The real water temperature may differ from the temperature shown for the wash cycle: it may be lower.

The real values for kWh, litres and programme duration may differ from those shown depending on the pressure and temperature of the mains water supply, the ambient temperature of the washing machine, mains voltage fluctuations, the type and amount of garments in the wash load and any additional functions or options selected.

Care and maintenance

Before beginning any care or maintenance, you should always disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply, and also turn off the water supply.

If a programme has been run recently, wait for the water in the appliance to cool down to prevent risk of scalding.

Water inlet filters

There are filters on the tap side of the water inlet hose and at the ends of the water inlet valves. These filters prevent ingress of dirt or foreign objects into the machine through the water supply. These filters should be cleaned approximately once a year to ensure there is no interruption in the water supply to the machine.

• Remove the water inlet hose.
• Remove the filters on the water inlet valves using pliers.
• Remove the filters on the tap side of the water inlet hose manually, as well as the seal.
• Clean the filters thoroughly using a brush.
• Replace the filters carefully, in the same way as they were removed.

Please note - A dirty or incorrectly fitted siphon will prevent the detergents from being taken in, and leave water inside the detergent drawer compartments at the end of wash.

Cleaning the washing machine exterior

The exterior of the washing machine should be cleaned with warm soapy water or a gentle cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive cleaning products or solvents.

It should then be dried thoroughly with a soft cloth.

Please note - wipe any detergent spills immediately to minimise the risk of damage to the washing machine exterior.

The drum

Do not leave metal objects such as coins inside the drum, as these can cause the formation of rust stains.

To remove rust stains, use a chlorine free cleaner and follow the manufacturer's warnings for the cleaner.

Never use abrasive products, such as scourers, to remove rust stains.

Limescale removal

If proprietary limescale removers are required, follow the manufacturer's warnings for the limescale remover.

Please note - Limescale removers contain acids which may affect the colour in clothes, as well as damaging the appliance.

Practical information

Alcoholic beverages: The stain, should first be washed with cold water, than wiped with glycerine and water and be rinsed with water mixed with vinegar.

Shoe Polish: The stain should be slightly scratched without ruining the cloth, rubbed with detergent and rinsed. In case it is not eliminated, it should be rubbed with 1 unit of pure alcohol (96 degrees) mixed in 2 units of water and then washed with lukewarm water.

Tea and coffee: Stretch the stained area of your cloth on the top of a container and pour water as hot as the type of cloth can endure. If the type of cloth is suitable, wash it with lye.

Chocolate and cocoa: By leaving your clothes in cold water and rubbing with soap or detergent, wash it in the highest temperature that the type of cloth can endure. If there is still a stain left, wipe with oxygenated water (in proportion of 3%).

Tomato paste: After scraping the dried pieces without ruining the cloth, leave in cold water for about 30 minutes and wash by rubbing with detergent.

Meat/soup/egg: Eliminate the dried stain residues and wipe with a sponge or soft cloth dampened with cold water. Rub with detergent and wash with diluted lye.

Grease and oil stains: First wipe the residues. Rub the stain with detergent and then wash with lukewarm soapy water.

Mustard: First apply glycerine to the stained area. Rub with detergent and then wash. If the stain still does not disappear, wipe with alcohol (On synthetic and coloured cloth, a mixture of 1 unit alcohol, 2 units water should be used)

Blood stain: Lay your clothes in cold water for 30 minutes. If the stain still does not disappear, lay in mixture of water and ammonia (3 table-spoons of ammonia in 4 litres of water) for 30 minutes.

Cream, ice-cream and milk: Lay your clothes in cold water and rub the stained area with detergent. If the stain has still not disappeared, apply lye on the fabric of your clothes in proper proportion. (Do not use lye on coloured clothes.)

Mould: Mould stains should be cleaned as soon as possible. The stain should be washed with detergent, and if it does not disappear, it should be wiped with oxygenated water (in proportion of 3%).

Ink: Hold the stained area under cold water and wait until the inky water completely runs off. Then rub with water diluted with lemon juice and detergent, wash after waiting for 5 minutes.

Fruit: Stretch the stained area of your clothes on the top of a container and pour cold water on it. Do not pour hot water on the stain. Wipe with cold water and apply glycerine. Wait for 1-2 hours and rinse after wiping with a few drops of white vinegar.

Grass stain: Rub the stained part with detergent. If the type of fabric is suitable for use of lye, wash it with lye. Rub your woollen clothes with alcohol. (For colour, use a mixture of 1 unit pure alcohol and 2 units of water).

Oil Paint: The stain should be eliminated before it dries by applying thinner on it. Then it should be rubbed with detergent and washed.

Burnt stain: If your cloth is suitable for use of lye, you can add lye into your washing water. For woollens, a cloth damped in oxygenated water should be covered on the stain and it should be ironed with a dry cloth on it. It should be washed after rinsing well.
