Installation and removal

When theWhen the appliance arrivesappliance arrive

Whether new or just transported to a new house, installation is extremely important for the correct functioning of your washing machine.

After removing the appliance from its packaging, check that it is intact. If in doubt, contact a qualified technician immediately. The inside of the machine is blocked, for transportation, by four screws and rubber washers on the back panel.

Do not throw the blocking screws and the spacers away. In the event of a removal, they can be used to block the components inside the appliance again and so protect it during transport.

Before using the washing machine, remove the screws, remove the rubber washers with the relative spacer (keeping all the parts) and use the plastic tabs provided to fill in the holes.

Warning: should the screws be re-used, make sure you fasten the shorter at the top.

Levelling

The washing machine must be levelled appropriately in order to guarantee its correct functioning. To level the appliance, the feet must be adjusted; the angle of inclination, measured according to the worktop, must not exceed 2°. When placed on fitted carpet, make sure the ventilation is not obstructed within its surroundings.

The feet are adjustable.

Connection to the waterConnection mainsmains

Water pressure must range within the values indicated on the data plate on the rear of your washing machine. Connect the inlet hose (situated unassembled inside the drum) to a cold water tap with a 3/4 gas threaded mouth. If the water pipes are new or left unused, run the water until it is clear and free of debris. Attach the hose to the appliance, in line with the appropriate water pipe inlet at the top right.

The guide for draining into tubs and sinks.

Connecting the drain hoseCo On the back of the appliance, towards the top, you will find a hook onto which you should fasten the drain hose if necessary. Insert the other end in a wall draining duct or place it on the edge of a sink or tub avoiding excessive kinks and bending. It should be placed at a height ranging from 60 to 100 cm.100 cm.

In case it is necessary to fix the end of the hose at a height below 60 cm from the ground, it must be fixed in the appropriate hook placed on the back panel as mentioned above.

The hose must never The hose must never there is the water being in water Warning!

Extensions are inadvisable. In case of absolute need, the extension must have the same diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 150 cm in length. In case of wall draining pipes, their efficiency must be checked by a qualified technician. The dwelling is on one of the upper moors of a building, there may be drain trap problems causing the washing machine to load and unload water continuously. In order to avoid such an inconvenience, special anti-drain trap valves are available in shops.

Before washing, you can do a great deal for better results. Divide your garments according to fabric and colour. Read the labels and follow their indications. Alternate small items with large ones.

Before washing.

Divide your washing according to the type of fabric and colour resistance: sturdy fabrics should be separated from delicate ones.

Light colours should be separated from dark ones.

Empty all pockets (coins, paper, money and small objects) and check the buttons. Mend immediately or remove loose buttons as they could fall off during the wash cycle.

The labels say it all.

Always look at the labels: they tell you everything about your garment and how to wash it in the best way possible.

The table on page 7 shows you all the secrets of the symbols found on labels. Their indications are a valuable guide to a better wash and to longer lasting clothes.

Alternate small itemsA with large ones.

Unfold all your washing. Place it loose inside the drum and follow the indications as to the recommended load quantity for the different wash programmes. Your clothes will come out cleaner and with fewer creases.

Dividing your garments according to fabric and colour is very important for good results.

Useful tips to avoid white mistakes said mistakes

■ General Rules:

• Cotton - Linen. Fill the drum but do not overload it.
• Synthetics. Do not fill more than half the drum.
• Delicates and Wool. Do not fill the drum more than a third.
• Heavily soiled garments: reduce the quantity.
• Persistent or special stains. Treat these before washing by rubbing the toughest stains with a special detergent, with detergent paste or specific stain removers (see the inset on treating special stains with stain removers on page 9)

■ Never use your washing machine to wash machine to wash

or non-hemmed linen. If it is absolutely necessary, place it in a bag for protection. Brightly coloured linen with whites.

How you should weigh?

1 sheet 400-500 gr.
1 pillow case 150-200 gr.
1 tablecloth 400-500 gr.
1 bathrobe 900-1,200 gr.
1 towel 150-500 gr.

■ Watch the weight!h the weight

For best results, do not exceed the weight limits stated below (figures show weight when dry):

• Sturdy fabrics:Sturdy fabrics: max 5 kg
• Synthetic fabrics: Synthetic fabrics: max 2.5 kg
• Delicate fabrics: max 2 kg
• Pure virgin wool: max 1 kg
• Towelling max 2.3 kg

Mix clothing of different

sizes with towelling: bathrobes, towels, etc. This way no "ball" will form during the spin cycle and the garments will stay balanced.

Coloured T-shirts, printed ones and shirts last longer if turned inside out before washing.

Printed T-shirts and sweat-shirts should always be ironed inside out.

Salopette alert.

Very popular "salopette" type overalls have straps with hooks that can damage the drum of your washing machine or other garments during the wash. By placing the hooks in the bib pocket and fastening them with safety pins, all risks are avoided.

■ Holidays: unplug the appliance.

When you go on holiday, we recommend that you unplug your washing machine, shutting off the water inlet tap and leaving the door opened or ajar. This way, both the drum and the gasket will remain nice and dry and unpleasant odours will not develop inside the washing machine.

How to wash almost anything

Curtains.

Curtains tend to crease a great deal. Here is a tip to reduce creasing: fold the curtains and place them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Do not load anything else, so that the overall weight does not exceed the half load.

■ Quilted coats and wind-cheaters.

You can wash quilted coats and wind-cheaters, too, if they are padded with goose or duck down. Do not load more than 2-3 kg and never load 5 kg. Repeat rinse once or twice using the gentle spin.

Trainers.

Once you have removed mud and dirt from trainers, you can wash them with jeans and other tough garments. Do not wash trainers with whites.

WOOLCYCLE

For best results, use a specific detergent, taking care not to exceed a load of 1 kg.

When detergents and water are not enough...

How to get rid of some special stains How

• Red wine. Leave to soak with detergent, rinse and treat with acetic acid or citric acid, then rinse. Treat any residue with bleach.
• Blood. Fresh stains should be treated immediately with cold water. In the event of dry blood stains, leave to soak overnight with a special detergent and then rub with soapy water.
• Dry grease stains. Moisten with turpentine, dab the stains with your fingertips and a cotton cloth, after placing the garment on a soft surface.
• Rust. Oxysalt (can be found in a chemists) hot molten, or a cold anti-rust product. Old stains may have already damaged the fabric: risk of holes...
• Mould stains Treat with bleach, rinse thoroughly (only white and coloured garments resistant to chlorine).
• Oil paint. Moisten with detergent petrol, dab the stains after placing the garment on top of a soft cloth, then treat repeatedly with the detergent.
• Ink and biro. Dab with cotton soaked in methyl alcohol or alcohol at 90°.
• Tar. Dab with fresh butter, rub in turpentine then wash immediately.
• Wax. Scrape away, then run a hot iron between two sheets of absorbent paper. Then rub in cotton with turpentine or methyl alcohol.
• Chewing gum. Rub in nail polish remover and wipe with a clean rag.
• Mould. Cotton and white linen should be placed in a solution of 5 parts water, one bleach and a spoon of vinegar, then washed immediately. For other white fabrics, use hydrogen peroxide at 10 volumes and wash immediately.
• Lipstick. Dab with ether on wool or cotton. Use trichlorethylene for silk.
• Nail polish. Place a sheet of absorbent paper on the side of the stain, wet it with nail polish remover, shifting the garment as the sheet gradually changes colour.
• Grass. Dab with a wad of cotton soaked in methyl alcohol.

The secrets of the detergent dispenser

The first secret: the detergent dispenser is in a handy position underneath the appliance door.

You should add detergent and any additives following the dosage recommended by the manufacturers: generally, all the indications you need are on the box.

Doses vary dosing to according to that liquid is a detergent is particularly suitable to wash by water up to 60 degrees and those not requiring pre-washing. More detergent does not necessarily mean greater efficiency, wash efficiency, the contrary...contrary... containers that are to be placed directly inside the washing

Experience will help you select the right dosage almost automatically: it will become your secret.

When pouring in the softener in compartment 3, avoid exceeding the "max" level indicated.

The washing machine automatically adds the softener to

the wash in each pro-gramme.

Liquid detergent is to be poured in just a few seconds before starting the wash cycle.

Remember that liquid de- serving is particularly sui- able for wash cycle water ness and how soiled the degrees and those not requiring pre-washing.

Liquid or powder detergents necessarily mean greater amounts of the containers that are to be placed directly inside the washing machine drum, according to the instructions found on the detergent box.

Never use hand wash detergent, because it may form too much foam, which could damage the washing machine. One last secret: when washing with cold water, always reduce the amount of detergent you use: it dissolves less easily in cold water than in hot water, so part of it would be wasted.

Should it be necessary to bleach, set the special programmes and pour the bleach into compartment 4 of the detergent dispenser. When you pour the bleach in, take care not to exceed the "max" level indicated.

The use of bleach excludes the possibility of running a pre-wash.

Traditional bleach can only be used on sturdy white fabrics, whereas delicate bleach can be used for coloured fabrics and synthetics. You cannot bleach with the "Silk" programme and with the

"Special Programmes" (On specific Models see page 6).

N.B.:

1) Concentrated bleach must be diluted in all cases.
2) For concentrated detergents (in powder or liquid), use a programme without pre-washing.
3) For detergents contained in a ball or in tablets, do not run a pre-wash.

A guide to running your household appliances cheaply while respecting the environment.

FULL LOAD

The best way to save on energy, water, detergent and time is to use your washing machine, washing a full recommended load.

A full load instead of two half loads allows you to SAVE up to 50% of energy.

USE LESS DETERGENT IF: you are washing few garments, the washing is only soiled lightly, foam forms during washing or the water is not very hard, or soft even (please see small table above with the degrees of water hardness). To find out how hard the water in your area is, contact your local Water Works.

IS PRE-WASHING STRICTLY NECESSARY?

Only for extremely soiled garments.

Programming a wash WITHOUT pre-washing for lightly soiled or medium soiled garments allows you to SAVE on detergent, time, water and between 5 and 15% of energy.

IS WASHING WITH HOT WATER STRICTLY NECESSARY?

Treating stains with a stain remover or soaking garments with dry stains in water before washing can reduce the need to programme a wash using hot water.

Use a wash programme at 60^ to SAVE up to 50% of energy.

BEFORE USING A DRYING CYCLE ...

Select a high speed spin cycle, where the spin speed can be adjusted, if the washing should be dried in a tumble-dryer. A reduced water content in the washing allows you to SAVE both time and energy in the drying programme.

the manufacturer's instructions. The fabric softener is automatically inserted into the machine during the last rinse. At the end of the wash programme, some water will be left in compartment 3. This is used for the inlet of denser fabric softeners into the machine, i.e. to dilute the more concentrated softeners.

Should more than a normal amount of water remain in compartment 3, this means the emptying device is blocked, thus interrupting the suction effect of the device.

For cleaning instructions, see page 13. Never pour fabric softeners together with starch into the dispenser, as the overflow system could get clogged.

RIGHT WRONG

Turning off the water tap after each wash limits the use of the washing machine's hydraulic system and eliminate leakage risks when no-one is at home.

Try to only leave the appliance in use unattended if the place where it is located is equipped with a floor drain.

Always leave all appliance doors ajar.

This will avoid the formation of bad odours.

Clean the appliance's exteriors delicately.

To clean the exteriors and the rubber parts of the appliance, always use a cloth dipped in lukewarm soapy water.

Leave the washing machine plugged in while cleaning. Even during maintenance, the appliance should always be unplugged.

Use solvents and aggressive abrasives.

Never use solvents or abrasives to clean the external and rubber parts of the washing machine.

Neglect the detergent dispenser.

It is removable and can easily be cleaned by leaving it under running water.

Go on holiday without thinking about it. Before leaving, always make sure that the washing machine is unplugged and that the water tap is turned off.

Easy Care and Maintenance

friend for friend ever It is just as important for you to keep it in shape.

Your washing machine is designed to last a lifetime without any problems. A few simple steps help keep it in shape and last longer.

Firstly, you must turn off the water tap after each wash: the constant pressure of water could warp a few of the component parts.

In addition, by doing so, you will avoid the risk of leaks when no-one is at home.

If the water in your area is too hard, use a deliming product (water is hard if it often leaves whitish stains around taps or drains, especially of bath tubs. For more accurate information as to the type of water in your system, call the local water works or a local plumber).

Pockets must always be emptied by removing even coins, pins, badges and any other hard object.

The washing machine exterior should be cleaned with a cloth dipped in lukewarm soapy water.

It is important to wash the detergent dispenser regularly. To prevent dried washing powder from accumulating, place the dispenser under running water for a few minutes.

Never exaggerate with detergent doses.

Normal detergents already contain deliming agents. Only if the water is particularly hard, that is, rich in lime content, do we recommend the use of a specific product at every wash. A periodical wash cycle with a dose of a deliming product, without detergents or washing, may prove useful.

Never use too much detergent or additives because this could cause an excess amount of foam, scaling and possible damage to the component parts of your washing machine.

The washing machine comes equipped with a self-cleaning pump that does not require any cleaning or maintenance. Small objects may accidentally fall into the pump: coins, hair clips, loose buttons and other small items. To avoid possible damage, they are withheld in an accessible pre-chamber, situated at the lower end of the pump.

Fig. 1

To access this pre-chamber, just remove the panel covering the bottom of the washing machine (fig. 1); then lift the cover rotating it anti-clockwise (fig. 2) and check its contents accurately.

The rubber hose

Check the rubber hose at least once a year. If you see any cracks, replace it immediately. When you use your washing machine, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose could easily split open.

Warning: make sure that the wash cycle has come to a full stop and unplug the appliance before removing the lid as well as before any type of maintenance procedure. It is normal to find that a little water comes out after removing the lid. When replacing the panel, make sure you insert the hooks situated at the bottom of the washing machine in the right slots before pushing it back against the appliance.
