3. PRACTICAL TIPS

Load tips

WARNING: when sorting laundry, make sure:

• you have eliminated metallic objects such as barrettes, pins, coins, from laundry;
• you have buttoned pillow cases, closed zips, tied loose belts and long robe ribbons;
• you have removed rollers from curtains;
• you have carefully read clothing washing labels;
• you have removed any persistent stains using specific detergents.
• When washing rugs, bedcovers or other heavy clothing, we recommend you avoid centrifuging.
• To wash wool, make sure the item can be machine washed and marked by the "Pure virgin wool" symbol with the "Does not mat" or "Machine washable" label.

Helpful suggestions for the user

A guide to environmentally friendly and economic use of your appliance.

Maximise The Load Size

• Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent and time by using the recommended maximum load size. Save up to 50% energy by washing a full load instead of 2 half loads.

Do you need to pre-wash?

For heavily soiled laundry only! Save detergent, time, water, and between 5 to 15% energy consumption by NOT selecting Prewash for slightly to normally soiled laundry.

Is a hot wash required?

• Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried-in stains in water before washing to reduce the necessity of a hot wash programme. Save up to 50% energy by using a 60°C wash programme.

Following is a quick guide with tips and recommendations on detergent use at the various temperatures. In any case, always read the instructions on the detergent for correct use and doses.

When washing heavily soiled whites, we recommend using cotton programs of 60°C or above and a normal washing powder (heavy duty) that contains bleaching agents that at medium/high temperatures provide excellent results.

For washes between 40°C and 60°C the type of detergent used needs to be appropriate for the type of fabric and level of soiling.

Normal powders are suitable for white or colour fast fabrics with high soiling, while liquid detergents or “colour protecting” powders are suitable for coloured fabrics with light levels of soiling.

For washing at temperatures below 40°C we recommend the use of liquid detergents or detergents specifically labeled as suitable for low temperature washing.

For washing wool or silk, only use detergents specifically formulated for these fabrics.

4. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

To clean the washing machine exterior, use a damp cloth, avoiding abrasives, alcohol and/or solvents. The washing machine does not require any special care for ordinary cleaning: clean drawer compartments and the filter; some tips on how to move the machine or on long periods of disuse are provided below.

Drawer cleaning

• We recommend you clean the drawer to avoid accumulating detergent and additive residue. ● To do this, extract the drawer using slight force, clean it with running water and reinsert it in its housing.

Filter cleaning

● The washing machine comes with a special filter able to trap large residue, such as buttons or coins, which could clog the drain.

- Only available on certain models: pull out the corrugated hose, remove the stopper and drain the water into a container.

● Before unscrewing the filter, we recommend you place an absorbent cloth under it to keep the floor dry.

● Turn the filter counter-clockwise to the limit stop in the vertical position.

- Remove and clean the filter; when finished, replace it turning it clockwise.

- Repeat the previous steps in reverse order to reassemble all parts.

Suggestions for moves or prolonged disuse

● Should the washing machine be stored in an unheated room for a long period of time, drain all water from tubes. ● Unplug the washing machine. - Detach the tube from the strap and lower it, fully draining water into a bowl. - Secure the drain tube with the strap when finished.

5. QUICK USER GUIDE

This washing machine automatically adapts the level of the water to the type and quantity of washing. This system gives a decrease in energy consumption and a sensible reduction in washing times.

• It is advisable to also use this function for children's items and for washing very dirty items, which require a lot of detergent, or for washing toweling items whose fibres tend to hold detergent.

OPTIONS button

You can choose between three different options:

- PREWASH

• This option allows you to perform a prewash and is particularly useful for heavily soiled loads (can only be used on some programmes as shown in the programme table).
• We recommend using only 20% of the recommended quantities shown on the detergent pack.

- HYGIENE PLUS

With this option it is possible to hygienize the clothes; the washing programme reaches a temperature of 60°C.

- NIGHT & DAY

This option reduces the intermediate spin speed to 400 rpm, where applicable, increases the water level during rinsing, and keeps the laundry immersed in water after the final rinse, in order to spread the fibres evenly.

During the phase in which the water is held in the tub, the relevant indicator light blinks to show that the machine is at a standstill. Deselect the option to end the cycle with a spin dry (which may be reduced or cancelled using the appropriate button) and emptying phase. Thanks to electronic control, the water in the intermediate phases is emptied silently, making this option very useful for washing at night.

** 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 consumptions 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 spin speed may also be reduced, to match any guidelines suggested on the fabric label, or for very delicate fabrics cancel the spin completely this option is available with a spin speed button. This function can be activated with the button SPIN SPEED.

If the label does not indicate specific information, it is possible to use the maximum spin expected in the program.

An over dosing of detergent can cause excessive foaming.

If the appliance detects the presence of excessive foam, it may exclude the spinning phase or extend the duration of the program and increase water consumption.

(●) Only with PREWASH option selected (programmes with PREWASH option available).

△ (Only for models with liquid detergent compartment)

When only a limited number of articles have stains which require treatment with liquid bleaching agents, preliminary removal of stain can be carried out in the washing machine.

Pour the bleach into the liquid bleach container, inserted into the compartment marked "2" in the detergent drawer, and set the special programme RINSE.

When this phase has terminated turn the programme selector on the OFF position, add the rest of the fabrics and proceed with a normal wash on the most suitable programme.

1) For the programmes shown you can adjust the duration and intensity of the wash using the WASH TIME button.

Programme selection

To clean different types of fabrics and various levels of dirt, the washing machine has specific programmes to meet every washing need (see the programme table).

ALL IN ONE technology

This washing machine is equipped with an innovative system with a high-pressure jet that sprays a mixture of water and detergent directly into the load.

The special motor movement used in this machine manages the drum movement during the start-up of each programme. In conjunction with the high-pressure jet spraying the detergent mixture into the load, the cycle includes a set of spin actions that help the detergent solution penetrate the fibres, aiding dirt removal and ensuring the best available wash performance.

The ALL IN ONE system is also used during the water load phases, where the high-pressure jet aids the complete removal of detergent residues trapped in the clothes.

All In One 20°C

Thanks to ALL IN ONE technology, this innovative programme allows you to wash fabrics such as cottons, synthetics and mixed fabrics at 20°C with a performance comparable to a 40°C wash.

The consumption of this programme is about 50% of a conventional 40°C cottons wash.

IMPORTANT WASH PERFORMANCE ADVICE:

● New, coloured garments should be washed separately for at least 5 or 6 washes. ● Certain large dark items such as jeans and towels should always be washed separately. ● Never mix NON COLOURFAST fabrics.

All Baby 60°C

You can wash all baby clothes together at medium temperature, resulting in hygienic and perfectly clean items when combined with heavy-duty soap. This is possible thanks to the ideal pre-dose of water and detergent, which is sprayed onto the laundry through the jet, activating the enzymes at 50°C.

All In One 59 Min.

This programme allows you to wash mixed fabrics such as cottons, synthetics and mixed fabrics in only 59 minutes, using the full load of the washing machine, at 40°C (or less) temperature. This programme is particularly suited to slightly dirty fabrics.

Drain & Spin

The program completes the drain and a maximum spin. It is possible to delete or reduce the spin with the SPIN SPEED button.

Rinse

This program performs 3 rinses with an intermediate spin (which can be reduced or excluded by using the appropriate button). It is used for rinsing any type of fabric, for example after a wash carried out by hand.

Wool & Silk

This programme allows a delicate washing cycle, particularly suited to garments specified as "Machine-Washable" Wool fabrics and laundry items made from Silk or specified as "Wash as Silk" on the fabric label.

Delicates

This program alternates among moments of work during breaks and is particularly suitable for washing delicate fabrics. The wash cycle and rinses are carried out with a high level of water to ensure the best performance.

Mixed

The washing and rinsing are optimized in the rhythms of rotation of the drum and the water levels. The gentle spin ensures a reduced formation of creases in the fabric.

Cottons

This program is suitable to clean normally soiled cotton laundry and it is the most efficient program in terms of combined energy and water consumptions for washing cotton laundry.

Rapid 30 Min.

A complete washing cycle (wash, rinse and spin). This programme is particularly suited to slightly dirty cottons and mixed fabrics. With this programme it is recommended to use only 20% of the detergent normally used to avoid waste.

Rapid 14 Min.

A complete washing cycle (wash, rinse and spin). This programme is suited to slightly dirty cottons and mixed fabrics. With this programme it is recommended to use only 20% of the detergent normally used to avoid waste.

	Make sure power is on.
	Check whether the required program was correctly selected and to have correctly started the machine.
	Make sure the fuse has not blown and that the wall socket is working, testing it with another appliance such as a lamp.
	The porthole may not be correctly closed: open and close it again.
The washing machine does not fill with water	Make sure the water faucet is open.
	Make sure the timer is correct set.
The washing machine does not drain water	Make sure the filter is not clogged.
	Make sure the drain hose is not bent.
	Make sure there are no foreign objects in the filter.
Water leaked on the floor near the washing machine	This may be due to a leak in the gasket between the faucet and supply tube; in this case, replace it and tighten the tube and faucet.
The washing machine does not centrifuge	This could be due to the fact that water has not been completely drained: wait a few minutes. Some models include a "no centrifuge" function: make sure it is not on.
	An excessive amount of detergent could prevent centrifuge: reduce the amount at the next wash.
Strong vibrations are heard during centrifuge	The washing machine may not be fully levelled: if necessary, adjust the feet as indicated in the specific section.
	Make sure transport brackets were removed.
	Make sure the load is evenly distributed.
If a specific ERROR appears of blinks	If error no. 0, 1, 5, 7 or 8 appears or blinks, contact the Customer Service Centre directly.
	If error no. 2 appears or blinks, the machine does not load water. Make sure the water faucet is open.
	If error no. 3 appears or blinks, the machine does not correctly drain. Make sure the drain is free and that the drain hose is not bent.
	If error no. 4 appears or blinks, the machine is too full. Close the water faucet and contact the Customer Service Centre.
	If error no. 9 appears or blinks, turn off the washing machine, wait 10 – 15 seconds and restart the program.

The use of ecological detergents without phosphates may cause the following effects:

• cloudier rinse drain water: This effect is tied to the suspended zeolites which do not have negative effects on rinse efficiency.
• white powder (zeolites) on laundry at the end of the wash: this is normal, the powder is not absorbed by fabric and does not change its colour.
• foam in the water at last rinse: this does not necessarily indicate poor rinsing.
• abundant foam: This is often due to the anionic surfactants found in the detergents which are hard to eliminate from laundry.

In this case, do not re-rinse to eliminate these effects: it will not help at all.
