2. Make sure that the drum is empty.
3. Keep the door and the detergent dispenser slightly ajar to prevent mildew and odours.
4. Close the water tap.

Draining water out after end of cycle

If you have chosen a programme or an option that does not empty out the water of the last rinse, the programme is completed, but:

• The time area shows and the
display shows the door locked .
- The drum still turns at regular intervals to prevent creases in the laundry.
• The door stays locked.
- You must drain the water to open the door:

1. If necessary, touch the Essorage button to decrease the spin speed proposed by the appliance.

2. Press the Départ/Pause button:

- If you have set Rinse Hold the appliance drains the water and spins.

- If you have set Night the appliance only drains the water

The option indicator Rinse Hold and Night disappears.

HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.

The laundry load

• Divide the laundry into: white, coloured, synthetics, delicates and wool.
• Follow the washing instructions on the laundry care labels.
• Do not wash white and coloured items together.

• Some coloured items can discolour with the first wash. We recommend that

• When the programme is completed and the door locked indicator goes off, you can open the door.

• Press the Marche/Arrêt button for a few seconds to deactivate the appliance.

Stand-by option

The Stand-by function automatically deactivates the appliance to reduce the energy consumption when:

• You do not use the appliance for 5 minutes.
  Press the button Marche/Arrêt to activate the appliance again.
• 5 minutes after the end of the washing programme
  Press the Marche/Arrêt button to activate the appliance again.
  The display shows the end of the last programme.
  Turn the programme dial to set a new cycle.

If the dial is rotated to the "Reset" position

•, the appliance automatically turns off in 30 seconds.

If you set a programme or an option that ends with water in the drum, the Stand-by function doesn't deactivate the appliance to remind you to drain the water.

you wash them separately for the first couple of times.

• Button up pillowcases, close zippers, hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.
  • Empty pockets and unfold.
• Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and items with printed illustrations inside out.
  • Pre-treat tough stains.
• Wash heavy soil stains with a special detergent.

- Be careful with curtains. Remove the hooks and put the curtains in a washing bag or pillowcase.

- Do not wash laundry without hems or with cuts.

- Use a washing bag to wash small and/or delicate items (e.g. underwired bras, belts, tights, etc.).

- A very small load can cause balance problems with the spin phase leading to excessive vibration. If this occurs:

a. interrupt the programme and open the door (refer to "Daily Use" chapter);
b. manually redistribute the load so that the items are spaced evenly around the tub;
c. press the Départ/Pause button. The spin phase continues.

Stubborn stains

For some stains, water and detergent is not sufficient.

We recommend that you pre-treat these stains before you put the items in the appliance.

Special stain removers are available. Use the special stain remover that is applicable to the type of stain and fabric.

Detergents and other treatments

- Only use detergents and other treatments specially made for washing machines:

• powder detergents for all types of fabric, excluding delicate. Prefer powder detergents containing bleach for whites and laundry sanitization
  – liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature wash programmes (60 °C max) for all types of fabric, or special ones for woollens only.

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.

• Do not mix different types of detergents.
• To help the environment, do not use more than the recommended quantity of detergent.
• Follow the instructions that you find on packaging of the detergents or other treatments without exceeding the indicated maximum level (MAX)
• Use the recommended detergents for the type and colour of the fabric, the programme temperature and the level of soil.

Ecological hints

• Set a programme without the prewash phase to wash laundry with normal soil.
  • Always start a washing programme with the maximum load of laundry allowed.
• If you pre-treat the stains or use a stain remover, set a programme with a low temperature.
• To use the correct quantity of detergent, check the water hardness of your domestic system. Refer to "Water hardness".

Water hardness

If the water hardness in your area is high or moderate, we recommend that you use a water softener for washing machines. In areas where the water hardness is soft it is not necessary to use a water softener.

To find out the water hardness in your area, contact your local water authority.

Use the correct quantity of water softener. Follow the instructions that you find on the packaging of the product.

External cleaning

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

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

CAUTION! Do not clean the metal surfaces with chlorine-based detergent.

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 check for limescale.

Regular detergents already contain water softening agents, but we recommend to run a cycle with an empty drum and a descaling product occasionally.

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

Maintenance wash

The repeated and prolonged use of low temperature programmes can cause detergent deposits, fluff residues, bacterial growth inside the drum and the tub. This could generate bad odours and mildew. To eliminate these deposits and clean the inner part of the appliance, run a maintenance wash regularly (at least once a month).

Refer to Cleaning the drum chapter.

Door seal

Regularly examine the seal and remove all objects from the inner part.

Cleaning the drum

Regularly examine the drum to prevent rust forming.

Clean the drum with special products for stainless steel.

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

For a thorough clean:

- Remove all laundry from the drum. - Run the Lavage tambour programme. For more details, refer to washing programme table.

Occasionally, at the end of a cycle the display may show the icon :this is a recommendation to perform the "drum cleaning".

Cleaning the detergent dispenser

To prevent possible deposits of dried detergent or clotted fabric softener and/or formation of mould in the detergent dispenser drawer, once in a while carry out the following cleaning procedure:

1. Open the drawer. Press the catch downwards as indicated in the picture and pull it out.

Cleaning the drain pump

Regularly check the drain pump filter and make sure that it is clean.

Clean the drain pump if:

• The appliance does not drain the water.
• The drum does not turn.
• The appliance makes an unusual noise because of the blockage of the drain pump.
• The display shows the alarm code E20

WARNING!

• Disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.
• Do not remove the filter while the appliance operates.
• Do not clean the pump if the water in the appliance is hot. Wait until the water cools down.
• Repeat Step 3 several times by closing and opening the valve until the water stops flowing out.

Always keep a rag nearby to dry up any water spillages when removing the filter.

Proceed as follows to clean the pump:

WARNING! Make sure that the impeller of the pump can rotate. If it does not rotate, contact the Authorised Service Centre. Make sure also that you tighten the filter correctly to prevent leakages.

Emergency drain

If the appliance cannot drain the water, carry out the same procedure, described in 'Cleaning the drain pump' paragraph. If necessary, clean the pump.

Frost precautions

If the appliance is installed in an area where the temperature can reach values around 0^ C or drop below, remove the remaining water from the inlet hose and the drain pump.

1. Disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.

2. Close the water tap.

3. Put the two ends of the inlet hose in a container and let the water flow out of the hose.
4. Empty the drain pump. Refer to the emergency drain procedure.
5. When the drain pump is empty, install the inlet hose again.

WARNING! Make sure that the temperature is higher than 0 °C before you use the appliance again.

The manufacturer is not responsible for damages caused by low temperatures.
