WASHING HINTS6.

6.1 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.

6.2 Temperatures

Temp	Soil Level
90°C	For normally soiled white cottons and linen (e.g. teacloths, towels, tablecloths, sheets...).
60°C	For normally soiled, colourfast garments (e.g. shirts, night dresses, pyjamas....) in linen, cotton or synthetic fibres and for lightly soiled white cotton (e.g. underwear).
40°C	For delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed laundry including synthetic fibres and woollens bearing the label pure new wool, machine washable, non-shrink.

6.3 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 a net.

6.4 Maximum Loads

Recommended loads are indicated in the program 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.

6.5 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.

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

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

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

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.

6.6 Detergents Type And Quantity Of Detergent

Low sudsing detergent is required for this washing machine to prevent oversudsing problems, unsatisfied washing result and harm to the machine.

Low sudsing detergents designed for front load washing machines are labelled “Front Loading”, “high efficiency”, “HE”, such as Cold Power for Front Loaders or “Matic”.

Do not use wrong types of detergent, such as Top Loading, Handwash detergent or Soap-Based products in your frontload washing machine. This can result in excessive suds, longer cycle time, low spin speeds, poor rinsing and overloading of the motor.

6.7 Quantity of detergent to be used

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

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 soil;
• wash temperature; and
• hardness of the water used.

Water hardness is classified by 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.

You may have to try using the detergent quantity as per manufacturers' instructions then compare the wash result to the list below and adjust the amount of detergent for your future washes accordingly.

Not enough washing powder causes:

• the washload to turn grey,

- greasy clothes.

Too much washing powder causes:

• sudsing,
  • reduced washing effect,
• inadequate rinsing.

Use less detergent if:

• you are washing a small load,

CARE AND CLEANING8.

WARNING!

You must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can carry out any cleaning or maintenance work.

8.1 External Cleaning

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

CAUTION!

Do not use alcohol, solvents or chemical products.

8.2 Descaling

The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good idea to periodically use a water softening powder in the machine.

Do this separately from any laundry washing, and according to the softening powder manufacturer's instructions.

This will help to prevent the formation of lime deposits.

8.3 After Each Wash

Leave the door open for a while. This helps to prevent mould and stagnant smells forming inside the appliance. Keeping the door open after a wash will also help to preserve the door seal.

8.4 Maintenance Wash

With the use of low temperature washes it is possible to get a build up of residues inside the drum.

We recommend that a maintenance wash be performed on a regular basis.

To run a maintenance wash:

- The drum should be empty of laundry.

- Select the hottest "Regular" wash program.

- Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a powder with biological properties.

8.5 Cleaning The Dispenser Drawer

The washing powder and additive dispenser drawer should be cleaned regularly.

Remove the drawer by pressing the catch downwards and by pulling it out. Flush it out under a tap, to remove any traces of accumulated powder.

To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive compartment should be removed.

It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time.

To clean the water inlet filters:

1. Close the water tap.

2. Remove the water inlet hose from the water tap.

3. Clean the filter in the inlet hose with a stiff brush.

1. Install again the inlet hose. Make sure that the couplings are tight to prevent leakages.

1. Open the water tap.

8.9 The Dangers Of Freezing

If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0^ C, certain precautions should be taken.

Do this procedure also when you want to do the emergency drain.

Disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.

Turn off the water tap.1.

1. Unscrew the inlet hose.

2. Remove the drain hose from the rear support and unhook it from sink or spigot.

Illustration showing two steps of a hairpin being adjusted, with no text or symbols present.

1. Put the ends of the drain and inlet hose in a container. Let the water flow out of the hoses.

2. When no more water flows, install the inlet hose and the drain hose again.

Make sure that the temperature is more than 0 °C before you use the appliance again. The manufacturer is not responsible for damages caused by low temperatures.

INSTALLATION11.

11.1 Positioning

It is important that your washing machine stands firm and level on the floor to ensure correct operation.

That the appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the washing machine door is restricted.

Use a spirit level on the top and side of the washing machine to check the levels.

Line drawing of a washing machine with a close-up inset showing the door handle (no text or symbols)

If you do not have a spirit level, as a guide use the edge of a door frame, cupboard or bench to check that the washing machine is level.

Loosen or tighten the feet to adjust the level. A correct adjustment of the appliance level prevents the vibration, noise and the movement of the appliance when in operation.

When the washing machine is levelled, try to rock it from corner to corner. If it does rock, adjust the legs again until it is levelled and does not rock.

Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor.

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 cupboard units.

11.2 Water Inlet

Connect the water inlet hose to a tap with 3/4" BSP thread.

Use the hose supplied with the washing machine. DO NOT USE OLD HOSES.

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.

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.

11.3 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.

Diagram of a pipe fitting with a valve attached, showing tubing and a handle (no text or symbols)

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.

In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must be above the trap so that the bend is at least 60 cm above the ground.

Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm.

The end of the drain hose must always be ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain pipe must be larger than the outside diameter of the drain hose.

The drain hose must not be kinked. Run it along the floor; only the part near the drainage point must be raised.

For the correct functioning of the machine the drain hose must remain hooked on the proper support piece situated on the top part of back side of the appliance.

11.4 Electrical Connection

This machine is designed to operate on a 220-240 V, single-phase, 50 Hz supply.

"An incorrect power supply may void your warranty."

Check that your domestic electrical installation can take the maximum load required (2.0 kW), also taking into account any other appliances in use.

CAUTION!

Connect the machine to an earthed socket outlet.

The manufacturer declines any responsibility for damage or injury through failure to comply with the above safety precaution.

Should the appliance power supply cable need to be replaced, this should be carried out by our Service Centre.

When the appliance is installed the power supply cable must be easily accessible.

For safety reasons do not use double adaptors, extension cords and multi-plug adapters.

12.3 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 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.
