3. PRACTICAL TIPS
Load tips
WARNING: when sorting laundry, make sure:
- have eliminated metallic objects such as hair clips, pins, coins, from laundry;
- to have buttoned pillow cases, closed zips, tied loose belts and long robe ribbons;
- to have removed rollers, hooks or clips from curtains;
- to have carefully read clothing washing labels;
- to have removed any persistent stains using specific detergents.
- When washing rugs, bedcovers or other heavy clothing, we recommend you avoid the spinning cycle.
- To wash wool, make sure the item can be machine washed. Check the fabric label.
Helpful suggestions for the user
A guide 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 slight 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. To maintain a good wash performance we recommend that the soap drawer and pump filters are regularly cleaned. A monthly service wash, using a proprietary cleaner is also recommended.
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.
- Ensure the siphon cap is correctly refitted.
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.
- Ensure all the water has been emptied from the drum.
- Before unscrewing the filter, we recommend you place an absorbent cloth under it to keep the floor dry. A small amount of water will come out of the filter as you remove it - this is normal.
-
Turn the filter counter-clockwise to the limit stop.
-
Remove and clean the filter; when finished, replace it turning it clockwise. The filter handle will be locked when it is not possible to turn any further and the handle is horizontal. Smearing a small amount of liquid soap on the filter seal will help refitting.
- 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 drainage system and clip on the rear of the machine and lower it, fully draining water into a bowl.
- Secure the drain tube with the drainage system and clip on the rear of the machine when finished.
- Keep the door glass and gasket clean.
The manufacturers warranty only covers faults within the product of mechanical or electrical nature. Faults caused by handling, installation or miss use are not covered and may incur a charge for any repair visit to resolve.

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.
(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 to the OFF position, add the rest of the fabrics and proceed with a normal wash on the most suitable programme.
1) When a programme is selected, on the display is shown the display shows the recommended wash temperature that can be reduced (where allowed) by the relevant button.
2) For the programmes shown you can adjust the duration and intensity of the wash using the STAIN LEVEL button.
3) Selecting the RAPID program on the knob, it will be possible to select with the RAPID button, one of the three rapid programs available among 14', 30' and 44'.
Programmes selection
To clean different types of fabrics and various levels of dirt, the washing machine has specific programs to meet every need of washing (see table of programmes).
Whites
An intensive wash. The final spin at maximum speed gives more efficient removal.
Cottons + Prewash
This programme has been designed to remove the stronger stains from cotton white clothes. The prewash guarantees the tough dirt removal. Add into compartment "1" a quantity of detergent equal to 20% of that used for main wash.
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.
Eco 20°
This innovative programme, allows you to wash different fabrics and colours together, such as cottons, synthetics and mixed fabrics at only 20°C and provides an excellent cleaning performance. Consumption on this program is about 40% of a conventional 40°C . cottons wash.
Synthetics
The washing and rinsing optimise the speed and rhythm of the drum action and water levels. The gentle spin, ensures a reduced formation of creases in the fabric.
Delicates
This program has reduced periods of drum rotation during the cycle and is particularly suitable or washing delicate fabrics. The wash cycle and rinses are carried out with a high level of water to ensure the best performance.
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.
Spin
Programme "SPIN" carries out a maximum spin (which can be reduced by using the correct button).
Drain
This programme drains out the water.
Rapid (14/30/44 Min.)
Washing cycle suggested for low loads and slightly dirty. With this program it is recommended to reduce the quantity of detergent normally used, in order to avoid unnecessary waste. Selecting the RAPID program and acting on the button you can choose one of three programs available.
Dark Colours
Program designed to mix all dark garments and to avoid the loss of colour and the formation of creases.
We recommend the use of liquid detergent.
Shirts
The washing cycle is optimized to reduce the creation of creases, keeping an excellent washing performance. It is also possible to further reduce the spin speed, to ensure an easier ironing.
Silk
Dedicated program for silk fabrics that can be wash with a washing machine washable. The rotations of the drum are delicate, the temperature does not exceed 30°C and the program ends with a gentle spin.
Wool
This program performs a wash cycle dedicated to the wool fabrics that can be washed in a washing machine, or the articles to be washed by hand.
Hand Wash
Program for hand wash only clothes, the program ends with 3 rinses and a slow spin.

| Some models include a "no spin" function: make sure it is not selected. |
| Check which options are selected and their effect on the spin cycle. |
| Excessive detergent can impede the spin cycle, ensure the correct amount of detergent is being used. |
| Strong vibrations / noises are heard during the spin cycle | The washing machine may not be fully levelled: if necessary, adjust the feet as indicated in the specific section. |

The standard manufacturer warranty covers faults caused by electrical or mechanical faults in the product due to an act or omission of the manufacturer. If a fault is found to be caused by factors outside the product supplied, miss-use or as a result of the instructions on use not being followed, a charge may be applied.
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 a the end of the wash: this is normal, the powder is not absorbed by fabric and does not change its colour.
To remove the zeolites, select a rinse programme. In the future consider using slightly less detergent.
- foam in the water at last rinse: this does not necessary indicate poor rinsing. Consider using less detergent in future washes.
- 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.
We suggest conducting a maintenance wash using a proprietary cleaner.
If the problem persists or if you suspect malfunction, immediately contact an Authorised Customer Service Centre.
