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, woollens.

Temperatures

90° or 95°	for normally soiled white cottons and linen (e.g. tea cloths, towels, tablecloths, sheets...)
50°/60°	for normally soiled, colour fast garments (e.g. shirts, night dresses, pyjamas....) in linen, cotton or synthetic fibres and for lightly soiled white cotton (e.g. underwear).
Cold-30°-40°	for delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed laundry including synthetic fibres and woollens bearing the label «pure new wool, machine washable, non-shrink».

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 woollens: 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.

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.

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, 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 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.

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.

Degrees of water hardness

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.

Level	Characteristic	Degrees
		German °dH	French °T.H.
1 0-7	0-15soft
2 8-14	16-25medium
3 15-21	26-37hard
4 > 21	>37very hard

Before the first use

WARNING!

Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instructions.

IMPORTANT!

Remove the polystyrene block and any material from the drum.

IMPORTANT!

We recommend you to pour 2 litres of water into the main wash compartment of the detergent drawer in order to activate the ECO valve. Than run a cotton cycle at 90 or 95°C, without any laundry in the machine, to remove any manufacturing residue from the drum and tub. Pour 1/2 a measure of detergent into the main wash compartment of the detergent drawer and start the machine.

Care and cleaning

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.

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.

The machine does not empty and/or does not spin:	The drain hose is squashed or kinked. (The red pilot light of the button 5 blinks)Check the drain hose connection.The drain pump is clogged. (The red pilot light of the button 5 blinks)Clean the drain pump.The option «Rinse hold» or «No spin» has been selected.Select the Drain or Spin programmesThe laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.Redistribute the laundry.
There is water on the floor:	Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent (creates too much foam) has been used.Reduce the detergent quantity or use another one.Check whether there are any leaks from one of the inlet hose fittings. It is not always easy to see this as the water runs down the hose; check to see if it is damp.Check the water inlet hose connection.The inlet hose is damaged.Change it with a new one.The cap on the emergency emptying hose has not been replaced after cleaning the pump.Put the cap back on the emergency emptying and place the latter back in its seat.
Unsatisfactory washing results:	Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used.Increase the detergent quantity or use another one.Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing.Use commercial products to treat the stubborn stains.The correct temperature was not selected.Check if you have selected the correct temperature.Excessive laundry load.Introduce into the drum less laundry.
Malfunction Possible Cause / Solution
The door will not open:	The programme is still running.·Wait the end of washing cycle.The door lock has not been released.·Wait until the pilot light 7.2 has gone out.There is water in the drum.·Select drain or spin programme to empty out the water.
The machine vibrates or is noisy:	The transit bolts and packing have not been removed.·Check the correct installation of the appliance.The support feet have not been adjusted.·Check the correct levelling of the appliance.The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.·Redistribute the laundry.Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.·Load more laundry.
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 10 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.·Redistribute the laundry.
No water is visible in the drum	Machines based on modern technology operate very economically using very little water without affecting performance.

If you are unable to identify or solve the problem, contact our service centre. Before telephoning, make a note of the model, serial number and purchase date of your machine: the Service Centre will require this information.

1. Set the machine upright and remove the remaining rear screw. Slide out the relevant pin.
2. Plug all the holes with the plugs which you will find in the envelope containing the instruction booklet.

Positioning

Install the machine on a flat hard floor. Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that

the machine does not touch the wall or other kitchen units. Level the washing machine by raising or lowering the feet. The feet may be tight to adjust as they incorporate a self locking nut, but the machine MUST be level and stable.

Any necessary adjustment can be made with a spanner.

Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and displacement of the machine during operation.

Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor.

If necessary, check the setting with a spirit level.

Water inlet

Connect the water inlet hose supplied with the appliance to a tap with a 3/4" thread.

Do not use already employed inlet hoses.

The other end of the inlet hose which connects to the machine can be turned in any direction. Simply loosen the fitting, rotate the hose and retighten the fitting, making sure there are no water leaks.

Ecological hints

To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these tips:

- Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).

●The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded.

- With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.

●Measure out detergent according to the water hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of laundry being washed.
