Stated values are obtained in laboratory conditions with relevant standards. Different causes can change the data: the quantity and type of laundry and ambient temperature. Water pressure, the supply voltage and the temperature of inlet water may also affect the washing programme duration.
i Technical specifications may be changed without prior notice to improve the quality of product.

At the start of the programme, the display shows the programme duration for the maximum load capacity. During the washing phase the programme duration is automatically calculated and can be greatly reduced if the laundry load is lower than the maximum load capacity (e.g. Cotton 60^ , maximum load capacity 9kg , the programme duration exceeds 2 hours; actual load 1kg , the programme duration will be less than 1 hour). When the appliance is calculating the real programme duration a dot flashes in the display.

12.2 Descaling

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

Regularly examine the drum to prevent limescale and rust particles.

To remove rust particles use only special products for washing machines. Do this separately from the laundry wash.

Always obey the instructions that you find on the packaging of the product.

12.3 Maintenance wash

With the low temperature programmes it is possible that some detergent stays in the drum. Perform a maintenance wash regularly. To do this:

  • Remove all laundry from the drum.
  • Select the cotton programme with the highest temperature with a small quantity of detergent.
