1) According to Commission Regulation EU 2019/2023, this programme at 40 °C is able to clean normally soiled cotton laundry declared to be washable at 40 °C or 60 °C, together in the same cycle.

For the reached temperature in the laundry, the programme duration and other data, please refer to 'Consumption Values' chapter.

The most efficient programmes in terms of energy consumption are generally those that perform at lower temperatures and longer duration.

2) Standard programmes for the Energy Label consumption values. According to EU regulation 1061/2010, this programme at 60 °C is the «Standard 60°C cotton programme» and at 30 °C is the «Standard 40°C cotton programme». They are the most efficient programmes in terms of combined energy and water consumption for washing normally soiled cotton laundry.

The water temperature of the washing phase may differ from the temperature declared for the selected programme.

3) During this cycle the drum rotates slowly to ensure a gentle wash. It can seem that the drum doesn't rotate or doesn't rotate properly, but this is normal for this programme. 4) With unbalanced small loads such as light synthetic garments mixed with much heavier garments like sponge, the duration of the programme may increase to execute spin speed properly.

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 you wash them separately for the first couple of times.
• Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and items with printed illustrations inside out.
• Pre-treat stubborn stains.
• Wash stubborn stains with a special detergent.
• Be careful with curtains. Remove the hooks and put the curtains in a washing bag or pillowcase.
• 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 Start/Pause button. The spin phase continues.

- Avoid washing garments full of long animal hair or poor quality garments releasing lots of fluff that could block the drain circuit and therefore requiring the Service assistance.

- Button up pillowcases, close zippers, hooks and poppers. Tie up belts, cords, shoelaces, ribbons and any other loose elements.

- 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, shoelaces, ribbons, etc.).

- Press one of the options to deactivate the energy saving status.

If you set a programme or an option that ends with water in the drum, the energy saving status function doesn't activate to remind you to drain the water.

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.

DETERGENT TYPE AND QUANTITY

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:

- Use only detergents and other treatments specially made for washing machines. First, follow these generic rules: - 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.

• 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 soiling, wash temperature and hardness of the water used.
• Follow the instructions that you find on packaging of the detergents or other treatments without exceeding the indicated maximum level (MAX).
• Do not mix different types of detergents.
• Use less detergent if:

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

- When using detergent tabs or pods, always put them inside the drum, not in the detergent dispenser.

Insufficient detergent may cause:

▪ unsatisfactory washing results,
- the wash load to turn grey,
- greasy clothes,
- mould in the appliance.

Excessive detergent may cause:

• sudsing,
• reduced washing effect,
• inadequate rinsing,
• a greater impact for the environment.

ECOLOGICAL HINTS

To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these tips:

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.

The appliance is intended for normal household use only.

Read the chapter carefully for best maintenance and care.

PERIODIC CLEANING SCHEDULE

Periodic cleaning helps to extend the life of your appliance.

• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewash in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).
• Loading the appliance to the maximum capacity indicated for each programmes helps to reduce energy and water consumption.
• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.
• To use the correct quantity of detergent, refer to the quantity suggested by the detergent producer and check the water hardness of you domestic system. Refer to 'Water hardness'.
• Set the maximum possible spin speed for the selected washing programme before drying your laundry in a tumble dryer. This will save energy during drying!

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.

After each cycle, keep the door and the detergent dispenser slightly ajar to get air circulation and dry the humidity inside the appliance: this will prevent mildew and odours.

If the appliance is not used for a long time: close the water tap and unplug the appliance.

Indicative periodic cleaning schedule:

Descaling Twice a year
Maintenance wash Once a month
Clean door seal Every two months
Clean drum Every two months
Clean detergent dispenser	Every two months
Clean the inlet hose and the valve filter	Twice a year

The following paragraphs explain how you should clean each part.

REMOVING FOREIGN OBJECTS

Make sure that pockets are empty and all loose elements are tied up before running your cycle. Refer to 'The laundry load' in 'Hints and tips'.

Remove any foreign objects (such as metal clip, buttons, coins, etc) that you may find in the door seal, the inlet hose filter and the drum. Refer to 'Door seal with double lip trap', 'Cleaning the drum' and 'Cleaning the inlet hose and the valve filter' paragraphs. If necessary, please contact the Authorised Service Centre.

EXTERNAL CLEANING

Clean the appliance with mild soap and warm water only. Fully dry all the surfaces. Do not use a scouring pads or any scratching material.

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.

CLEANING THE DRUM

Regularly examine the drum to prevent unwanted deposits.

Rust deposits in the drum may occur due to rusting foreign body in the washing or tap water containing iron

Clean the drum with special products for stainless steel.

Always follow the instructions that you find on the packaging of the product. Do not clean the drum with acidic descaling products, scouring products containing chlorine or iron or steel wool.

For a thorough clean:

1. Remove all laundry from the drum.
