Helpful hints and tips

Sorting out the laundry

Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label and the manufacturer's washing instructions. Sort the laundry as follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, wool-lens.

Before loading the laundry

Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites may lose their «whiteness» in the wash.

New coloured items may run in the first wash; they should therefore be washed separately the first time.

Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.

Remove persistent stains before washing.

Rub particularly soiled areas with a special detergent or detergent paste.

Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or tie them up in a bag or net.

Removing stains

Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and detergent. It is therefore advisable to treat them prior to washing.

1) do not use acetone on artificial silk

Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried stains, soak overnight in water with a special detergent then rub in the soap and water.

Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain remover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain; treat several times.

Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay the garment on a soft surface and dab the stain with the fingertips and a cotton cloth.

Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust removing product used cold. Be careful with rust stains which are not recent since the cellulose structure will already have been damaged and the fabric tends to hole.

Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whites and fast coloureds only).

Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and fast coloureds only).

Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone ^1) , lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.

Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat stains with methylated spirits. Treat any residual marks with bleach.

Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse. Treat any residual marks with bleach.

Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric first with acetone ^1) , then with acetic acid; treat any residual marks on white fabrics with bleach and then rinse thoroughly.

Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated spirits or benzine, then rub with detergent paste.

Detergents and additives

Good washing results also depend on the choice of detergent and use of the correct quantities to avoid waste and protect the environment.

Although biodegradable, detergents contain substances which, in large quantities, can upset the delicate balance of nature.

The choice of detergent will depend on the type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the colour, washing temperature and degree of soiling.

All commonly available washing machine detergents may be used in this appliance:

• powder detergents for all types of fabric
• powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C max) and woollens
• liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature wash programmes (60°C max) for all types of fabric, or special for woollens only.

The detergent and any additives must be placed in the appropriate compartments of the dispenser drawer before starting the wash programme.

First use

• Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instructions.
• Remove the polystyrene block and any material from the drum.
• Pour 2 litres of water into the main wash compartment ☐ of the detergent drawer in order to

Personalisation

Acoustic signals

The machine is provided with an acoustic device, which sounds in the following cases:

• at the end of the cycle
• if there is a fault.

If using liquid detergents, a programme without prewash must be selected.

Your appliance incorporates a recirculation system which allows an optimal use of the concentrated detergent.

Follow the product manufacturer's recommendations on quantities to use and do not exceed the «MAX» mark in the detergent dispenser drawer.

Quantity of detergent to be used

The type and quantity of detergent will depend on the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and hardness of the water used.

Follow the product manufacturers' instructions on quantities to use.

Use less detergent if:

• you are washing a small load
• the laundry is lightly soiled
• large amounts of foam form during washing.

Degrees of water hardness

Water hardness is classified in so-called “degrees” of hardness. Information on hardness of the water in your area can be obtained from the relevant water supply company, or from your local authority. If the water hardness degree is medium or high we suggest you to add a water softener following always the manufacturer’s instructions. When the degree of hardness is soft, readjust the quantity of the detergent.

activate the ECO valve. Then run a cotton cycle at the highest temperature without any laundry in the machine, to remove any manufacturing residue from the drum and tub. Pour 1/2 a measure of detergent into the main wash compartment and start the machine.

By pressing the 4 and 5 buttons simultaneously for about 6 seconds, the acoustic signal is deactivated (except if there is a fault). By pressing these 2 buttons again, the acoustic signal is reactivated.

What to do if...

Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out an engineer. Before contacting your local Service Centre, please carry out the checks listed below. During machine operation it is possible that the red pilot light of button 7 blinks, one of the following alarm codes appears on the display and some acoustic signals sound every 20 seconds to indicate that the machine is not working:

1. Put 2 litres of water in the main wash compartment of the detergent dispenser.
2. Start the programme to drain the water.

• E10 : problem with the water supply.

• E20 : problem with the water draining.

- E40 : door open.

Once the problem has been eliminated, press the button 7 to restart the programme. If after all checks, the problem persists, contact your local Service Centre.

The machine does not start:	The door has not been closed.E40Close the door firmly.The plug is not properly inserted in the power socket.Insert the plug into the power socket.There is no power at the socket.Please check your domestic electrical installation.The main fuse has blown.Replace the fuse.The selector dial is not correctly positioned and/or the button 7 has not been pressed.Please turn the selector dial and press the button 7 again.The delay start has been selected.If the laundry are to be washed immediately, cancel the delay start.The Child Safety Lock has been activated.Deactivate the Child Safety Lock.
The machine does not fill:	The water tap is closed.E10Open the water tap.The inlet hose is squashed or kinked.E10Check the inlet hose connection.The filter in the inlet hose or the inlet valve filter are blocked.E10Clean the water inlet filters. (See "Cleaning the water inlet filters" for more details).The door is not properly closed.E40Close the door firmly.
Problem Possible cause/Solution
The machine does not empty and/or does not spin:	The drain hose is squashed or kinked.E20Check the drain hose connection.The drain filter is clogged.E20Clean the drain filter.An option or a programme that ends with the water still in the tub or a that eliminates all the spinning phases has been selected.Select the draining or spinning programme.The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.Redistribute the laundry.
There is water on the floor:	Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent (creates too much foam) has been used.Reduce the detergent quantity or use another one.Check whether there are any leaks from one of the inlet hose fittings. It is not always easy to see this as the water runs down the hose; check to see if it is damp.Check the water inlet hose connection.The drain or inlet hose is damaged.Replace it with a new one.The filter has not been properly screwed in after cleaning action.Screw the filter fully in.
Unsatisfactory washing results:	Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used.Increase the detergent quantity or use another one.Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing.Use commercial products to treat the stubborn stains.The correct temperature was not selected.Check if you have selected the correct temperature.Excessive laundry load.Reduce the laundry load.
The door will not open:	The programme is still running.Wait the end of washing cycle.The door lock has not been released.Wait until the pilot light 9 goes off.There is water in the drum.Select drain or spin programme to empty out the water.
The machine vibrates is noisy:	The transit bolts and packing have not been removed.·Check the correct installation of the appliance.The support feet have not been adjusted·Check the correct levelling of the appliance.The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.·Redistribute the laundry.Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.·Load more laundry.
Spinning starts late or the machine does not spin:	The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is redistributed by reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen several times before the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can resume. If, after 10 minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will not spin. In this case, redistribute the load manually and select the spin programme.·Redistribute the laundry.The load is too small.·Add more items, redistribute the load manually and then select the spinning programme.
The machine makes an unusual noise:	The machine is fitted with a type of motor which makes an unusual noise compared with other traditional motors. This new motor ensures a softer start and more even distribution of the laundry in the drum when spinning, as well as increased stability of the machine.
No water is visible in the drum:	Machines based on modern technology operate very economically using very little water without affecting performance.

If you are unable to identify or solve the problem, contact our service centre. Before telephoning, make a note of the model, serial number and purchase date of your machine: the Service Centre will require this information.

Positioning

Install the machine on a flat hard floor. Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that the machine does not touch the wall or other kitchen units. Level the washing machine by raising or lowering the feet. The feet may be tight to adjust as they incorporate a self locking nut, but the machine MUST be level and stable.

Any necessary adjustment can be made with a spanner. Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and displacement of the machine during operation. Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor.

Ecological hints

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

• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without pre-washing in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).
• The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded.

- With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.

- Measure out detergent according to the water hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of laundry being washed.
