Tips for environmental protection

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

• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing 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.

Water inlet

Connect the water inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4" thread after having inserted the small filter "A" supplied with the machine.

The other end of the inlet hose which connects to the machine can be turned in any direction. Simply loosen the fitting, rotate the hose and retighten the fitting, making sure there are no water leaks.

POO3 A

Diagram of a pipe fitting with a curved arrow indicating direction (no text or symbols)

The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too short and you do not wish to move the tap, you will have to purchase a new, longer hose specially designed for this type of use.

Water drainage

The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:

Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plastic hose guide supplied with the machine. In this case, make sure the end cannot come unhooked when the machine is emptying.

This could be done by tying it to the tap with a piece of string or attaching it to the wall.

i Washing hints

Sorting 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, woollens.

Temperatures

90° for normally soiled white cottons and linen (e.g. tea cloths, towels, tablecloths, sheets...)

60° for normally soiled, colour fast garments (e.g. shirts, night dresses, pyjamas....) in linen, cotton or synthetic fibres and for lightly soiled white cotton (e.g. underwear).

* (cold)for delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed

30°-40° laundry including synthetic fibres and woollens bearing the label «pure new wool, machine washable, non-shrink».

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.

Make sure that no metal objects are left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).

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.

Maximum loads

Recommended loads are indicated in the programme charts.

General rules:

Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed;

Synthetics: drum no more than half full;

Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more than one third full.

Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient use of water and energy.

For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.

Laundry weights

The following weights are indicative:

bathrobe 1200 g

napkin 100 g

quilt cover 700 g

sheet 500 g

pillow case 200 g

tablecloth 250 g

towelling towel 200 g

tea cloth 100 g

night dress 200 g

ladies' briefs 100 g

man's work shirt 600 g

man's shirt 200 g

man's pyjamas 500 g

blouse 100 g

men's underpants 100 g

Removing stains

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

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 (*), lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.

Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat stains with methylated spirits. Remove any residual marks from white fabrics 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 (*), 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.

(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk.

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.

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

The washing machine incorporates a recirculation system which allows an optimal use of the concentrated detergent.

Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer compartment marked just before starting the programme.

Any fabric softener or starching additives must be poured into the compartment marked before starting the wash programme.

The bleaching agent (chlorine) can be used only for white or fast coloured cotton and linen items.

Pour it into the compartment marked ⚠

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.

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.

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

Level Characteristic		Degrees
		German °dH	French °T.H.
1	soft	0-7	0-15
2	medium	8-14	16-25
3	hard	15-21	26-37

P0041

5. Emergency emptying out

If the water is not discharged (outlet pump is blocked, filter or drain hose are clogged), proceed as follows to empty out the machine:

• pull out the plug from the power socket;
• close the water tap;
• if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;
• place a bowl on the floor;
• put the drain hose end into the bowl and let the water come out.

Should it not be possible to have access to the outlet hose because, for example, the appliance is built in the kitchen furniture, slightly loosen the outlet filter after placing a bowl on the floor, to let the water come out slowly.

At the end screw the filter again.

6. Frost precautions

If the machine is installed in a place where the temperature could drop below 0^ C, proceed as follows:

• Close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet hose from the tap.
• Place the end of the drain hose and that of the inlet hose in a bowl placed on the floor.
• Select programme "Q" (drain) and run it until the machine stops.
• Remove the plug from the socket.
• Screw the water inlet hose back on and put the drain hose back in its place.

By doing this, any water remaining in the machine is removed, avoiding the formation of ice and, consequently, breakage of the affected parts.

When you use the machine again, make sure that the ambient temperature is above 0^ C.

Something not working?

Problems which you can resolve yourself.

Problem Possible cause
The machine does not start up:	The door is not firmly closed.The machine is not plugged in or there is no power at the socket.The main fuse has blown.The programme selector dial is not positioned correctly and pulled outwards.
The machine does not fill:	The water tap is closed.The inlet hose is squashed or kinked.The filter in the inlet hose is blocked.The door is not properly closed.
The machine fills then empties immediately:	The end of the drain hose is too low. Refer to relevant paragraph in “water drainage” section.
The machine does not empty and/or does not spin:	The drain hose is squashed or kinked.The option has been selected.The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.The drain filter is clogged.
There is water on the floor:	Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent (creates too much foam) has been used.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.The drain hose is damaged.
Unsatisfactory washing results:	Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used.Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing.The correct temperature was not selected.Excessive laundry load.
The machine vibrates or is noisy:	The transit bolts and packing have not been removed.The support feet have not been adjusted.The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.
The door will not open:	The programme is still running.The door lock has not been released.There is water in the drum.
• 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 5 minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will not spin. In this case, redistribute the load manually and reselect the spin programme.

Water is not visible in the machine. The machine, which is the result of modern technology, runs in a very economical way with low water consumption. Performance is nevertheless excellent. P1035UK

The machine makes an unusual noise. The machine is fitted with a commutator motor which improves machine performance. P1034UK

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.
