• Use the amount of detergent recommended for a normal wash cycle. If desired, use a bleach or a soaking agent safe for the fabric, by pouring it into the detergent compartment.

Rinse & Spin

With this option you can perform only a last rinse of a selected washing program.

6. WASHING HINTS

6.1 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.

6.2 Temperatures

90°C	For normally soiled white cottons and linen (e.g. teacloths, towels, tablecloths, sheets...).
60°C	For normally soiled, colourfast garments (e.g. shirts, night dresses, pajamas....) in linen, cotton or synthetic fibres and for lightly soiled white cotton (e.g. underwear).
40°C30°C Cold	For delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed laundry including synthetic fibres and woollens bearing the label pure new wool, machine washable, non-shrink.

6.3 Before Loading The Laundry

- 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.

- Wash bras, pantyhose and other delicates in a mesh laundry bag, which you can purchase from your supermarket.

- Make sure that you wash lint collectors separately from lint producers.

• 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.
• 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 a net.

6.4 Maximum Loads

Recommended loads are indicated in the program 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.

6.5 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 in cold water. 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.

6.6 Detergents Type And Quantity Of Detergent

Low sudsing detergent is required for this washing machine to prevent oversudsing problems, unsatisfied washing result and harm to the machine. Low sudsing detergents designed for front load washing machines are labelled “Front Loading”, “high efficiency”, “HE”, such as Cold Power for Front Loaders or “Matic”.

Do not use wrong types of detergent, such as Top Loading, Handwash detergent or Soap-Based products in your frontload washing machine. This can result in excessive suds, longer cycle time, low spin speeds, poor rinsing and overloading of the motor.

Quantity of detergent to be used

The choice of detergent and use of correct quantities not only affects your wash performance, but also helps 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 and quantity of detergent will depend on ;

• type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.); • the colour of clothes ;
• size of the load ;
• degree of soil ;
• wash temperature ; and
• hardness of the water used.

Water hardness is classified by 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.

You may have to try using the detergent quantity as per manufacturers' instructions then compare the wash result to the list below and adjust the amount of detergent for your future washes accordingly.

Not enough washing powder causes:

• the washload to turn grey, - greasy clothes.

Too much washing powder causes:

• sudsing, • reduced washing effect,
• inadequate rinsing.

Use less detergent if:

• you are washing a small load, • the laundry is lightly soiled, • large amounts of foam during washing.

CARE AND CLEANING8.

WARNING! You must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can carry out any cleaning or maintenance work.

8.1 External Cleaning

Clean the appliance only with soap and warm water. Fully dry all the surfaces.

CAUTION! Do not use alcohol, solvents or chemical products.

8.2 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.

8.3 After Each Wash

Leave the door open for a while. This helps to prevent mould and stagnant smells forming inside the appliance.

Keeping the door open after a wash will also help to preserve the door seal.

8.4 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 program. - Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a powder with biological properties.

8.5 Cleaning The Dispenser Drawer

The washing powder and additive dispenser drawer should be cleaned regularly. Remove the drawer by pressing the catch downwards and by pulling it out. Flush it out under a tap, to remove any traces of accumulated powder.

To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive compartment should be removed.

8.6 Cleaning The Drawer Recess

Having removed the drawer, use a small brush to clean the recess, ensuring that all washing powder residue is removed from the upper and lower part of the recess. Replace the drawer and run the rinse program without any clothes in the drum.

8.7 Cleaning The Drawer Bottom

After washing cycle finish, residues of softener and water may remain in the softener dispenser. It is recommended to clean the bottom of softener dispenser regularly to remove any residue.

To clean the bottom of softener dispenser:

1. After pulling out the drawer from its recess, turn the bottom side up.

1. Push the catch and pull up the softener bottom cover.

1. Clean the dispenser with an old toothbrush under the water tap.

1. Close the softener bottom cover.

8.8 Cleaning The Water Inlet Filter

INSTALLATION 11.

11.1 Unpacking

CAUTION!

All transit bolts and packing must be removed before using the appliance. You are advised to keep all transit devices so that they can be refitted if the machine ever has to be transported again.

1. Use gloves. Cut and remove four cut-out straps as shown.

1. Remove the carton box. Remove the polystyrene packaging materials. Remove the plastic bag that covers the machine.

1. Open the door.

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

1. Put one of the polystyrene «A» 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.

1. Remove the polystyrene base.
2. Pull up the appliance in vertical position.
3. Remove the power supply cable and the drain and inlet hoses from the hose holders «B» on the rear of the appliance.

1. Remove the three transit bolts.
2. Pull out the plastic spacers.
3. Put the plastic caps in the holes. You can find these caps in the user manual bag.

11.2 Positioning

It is important that your washing machine stands firm and leveled on the floor to ensure correct operation. The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to avoid restricting the washing machine door.

Use a spirit level on the top and side of the washing machine to check the levels.

If you do not have a spirit level, as a guide use the edge of a door frame, cupboard or bench to check that the washing machine is leveled.

Loosen or tighten the feet to adjust the level. A correct adjustment of the appliance level prevents vibration, noise and the movement of the appliance when in operation.

When the washing machine is levelled, try to rock it from corner to corner. If it does rock, adjust the legs again until it is levelled and does not rock.

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

11.3 Water Inlet

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

Use the hose supplied with the washing machine. DO NOT USE OLD HOSES.

The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too short and you do not wish to move the tap, you will have to purchase a new, longer hose specially designed for this type of use.

Loosen the ring nut to angle the hose to the left or right depending on the position of your water tap. Do not place the inlet hose downwards. After positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten the ring nut again to prevent leaks.

11.4 Water Drainage

The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:

- Hooked over the edge of a sink, using the plastic hose guide supplied with the machine.

Fitting Hose Guide

In this case, make sure the end cannot come unhooked when the machine will be emptied. This could be done by tying it to the tap with a piece of string or attaching it to the wall.

• In a sink, drain pipe branch.

This branch must be above the trap so that the bend is at least 60 cm above the ground.

Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with a clip, ensure a loop is formed in the drain hose to prevent waste from the sink entering the appliance.

- Directly into a drain pipe, at a height of not less than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm.

The end of the drain hose must always be ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain pipe must be larger than the outside diameter of the drain hose.

The drain hose must not be twisted or curled. Run it along the floor; only the part near the drainage point must be raised.

For the correct functioning of the machine, the drain hose must remain hooked on the proper support piece situated on the top part of back side of the appliance.

11.5 Electrical Connection

This machine is designed to operate on a 220-240 V, single-phase, 50 Hz supply.

"An incorrect power supply may void your warranty."

Check that your domestic electrical installation can take the maximum load required (see TECHNICAL DATA on page 28), also taking into account any other appliances in use.

CAUTION!

Connect the machine to an earthed socket outlet.

The manufacturer declines any responsibility for damage or injury through failure to comply with the above safety precaution.

Should the appliance power supply cable need to be replaced, this shall be carried out by our Service Centre.

When the appliance is installed, the power supply cable must be easily accessible.

If this appliance is supplied from a cord extension set or electrical portable outlet device, the cord extension set or electrical portable device must be positioned so that it is not subject to splashing or ingress of moisture.
