PREPARATION OF THE LAUNDRY

Sort the laundry

1. Sort the laundry according to...
   • Type of fabric / care label symbol
   Cottons, mixed fibres, easy care/synthetics, wool, handwash items.
   • Colour
   Separate whites and coloureds. Wash new coloured items separately.
2. Size
   Wash items of different sizes in the same load to improve washing efficiency and distribution in the drum.
3. Fabric delicacy

Wash delicate articles separately: use a special programme for Pure New Woolcels, curtains and other delicates. Always remove curtain glides or wash curtains with the glides inside a cotton bag. Use the special programme for handwash fabrics. Wash stockings, belts and other small items or articles with hooks (e.g. bras) in special cotton bags for washing machines or in zipped pillow cases.

1. Empty pockets

Coins, safety pins and similar items can damage your laundry as well as the washing machine's drum and tub.

1. Fasteners

Close zips and fasten buttons or hooks; loose belts or ribbons should be tied together.

Stain remwoval

• Blood, milk, egg and other organic substances are generally removed by the enzyme phase of the programme.
  • To remove red wine, coffee, tea, grass and fruitstains etc. add a stain remover to the main wash chamber [II] of the detergent dispenser.
  • Particularly stubborn stains should be treated before the wash.

Dyeing and bleaching

• Only use dyes and bleaches that are suitable for washing machines.
  • Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
• Plastic and rubber parts of the machine may be stained by dyes or bleaches.

1/3 of the quantity the detergent manufacturer recommends for lightly soiled laundry) to the main wash chamber [II] of the detergent dispenser.

UNDRY

Loading the laundry
1. Open the machine lid by pulling it upwards.
2. Open the drum

by pushing the drum flap release (picture 10,11); models as shown on picture 10 have a fixed drum flap release which will not compress when pushed. - by holding the rear drum flap, sliding back the slider into arrow direction and pushing the front flap towards the inside of the drum until the closing mechanism releases (picture 12).

1. Place the items of laundry into the drum one by one. Do not exceed the maximum load of the programmes indicated in the separate programme chart.

- Overloading the machine will result in unsatisfactory washing results and creased laundry.

- Take care that the laundry does not overhang the drum; if this is the case, push the laundry down into the drum so that there is enough free space to close the drum flaps properly.

- Do not use the flaps to push the laundry into the drum.

1. To close the drum, hold both flaps in the middle again (picture 13), the rear flap over the front flap. ATTENTION: make sure that the drum flaps are properly locked - depending on the model:

- all metal hooks must be properly hooked inside the rear door flap - see picture 14.

- all metal hooks must be properly hooked inside the rear door flap, and the button must overlap the edge of the rear door flap see picture 15. - the slider of the front flap must slightly overlap the rear flap - see picture 16.

Check that no laundry gets stuck between the flaps, or between flaps and drum.

DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES

⚠️ Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry place out of the reach of children.

Do not use any solvents (e.g. turpentine, benzene); do not machine wash fabrics that have been treated with solvents or flammable liquids.

Only use detergents and/or additives that are specifically produced for domestic washing machines. Observe the recommendations on the care labels of your laundry.

The choice of detergent depends on:

- Type of fabric

- Colour

- Recommended wash temperature

• Degree and type of soiling

Laundry type Kind of detergent
White robust laundry (cold-95°C):	heavy duty detergents with bleach
White delicate laundry (cold-40°C):	mild detergents with bleach and/or optical brighteners
Light /pastel- shaded colours (cold-60°C):	detergents with bleach and/or optical brighteners
Intensive colours (cold-60°C):	colour detergents without bleach/optical brighteners
Black/dark colours(cold-60°C):	special detergents for black/dark laundry

For laundry requiring special treatment (e.g. wool or microfibers), we recommend to use specialized detergents, additives or pre-treatment available on the market. Refer to internet link www.cleanright.eu for more detailed information.

Do not use liquid detergent for the main wash when having activated the "Prewash" option. Do not use liquid detergent when selecting a later cycle start / cycle end (depending on the model).

Dosage

Follow the dosage recommendations on the detergent pack. They depend on:

• degree and type of soiling

- size of wash

- full load: follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions; - half load: 3/4 the amount used for a full load; - minimum load (about 1 kg): half the amount used for a full load

If there is no reference to a certain wash load on the detergent pack: the detergent manufacturers usually refer their dosing recommendations to 4.5 kg laundry for heavy duty detergent and 2.5 kg laundry for delicate detergent.

• water hardness in your area (ask for information from your water company). Soft water requires less detergent than hard water.

Please note:

Too much detergent can result in excess foam formation, which reduces washing efficiency. If the washing machine detects too much foam, it may prevent spinning, or prolong the programme duration and increase the water consumption (see also remarks on foam formation in the "Troubleshooting Guide"). Insufficient detergent may result in grey laundry and also calcifies the heating system, drum and hoses.

Where to put detergents and additives (picture 17)

| | | Prewash chamber

- Detergent for the prewash phase (only if you have activated "prewash" option)

[1] Main wash chamber

- Detergent for the main wash phase (must be added for all wash programmes)

- Additive for stain removal (optional)

• Water softener (optional; recommendable for water hardness class 4 or more)

Appliance vibrates during spin cycle	Washing machine is not level; the feet are not properly adjusted (see "Installation").The transport bracket has not been removed: before using the washing machine, the transport bracket must be removed.
Final spin results are poor	Unbalance during spinning prevented spin phase to protect the washing machine (see "Unbalance during spinning").Excessive foam formation prevented spinning: select and start "Rinse & Spin" programme. Avoid excessive detergent dosing (see "Detergents And Additives")."Spin" button has been set to a low spin speed.
"Unbalance during spinning"The "Spin/Drain" Indicator in the programme flow bar blinks, or the spin speed on the display blinks, or the spin speed indicator blinks after the end of the programme (depending on the model).The laundry is still very wet.	Unbalance of the laundry load during spinning prevented the spin phase to avoid damages on the washing machine. This is why the laundry is still very wet.Reason for unbalance can be: small laundry loads (consisting of only few quite big or absorbent items, e.g. towels), or big/heavy laundry items.If possible avoid small laundry loads.It is highly recommended that you add other laundry items of different sizes when washing a big or heavy piece of laundry.If you want to spin the wet laundry, add more laundry items of different sizes, and subsequently select and start the "Rinse & Spin" programme.
Programme duration is considerably longer or shorter as indicated in the "programme chart" or on the display (if available)	Normal function of the washing machine to adapt to factors that can have an effect on the programme duration, like excessive foam formation, load unbalance due to heavy laundry items, prolonged heating time resulting from low inlet water temperature etc.. Moreover, the sensing system of the washing machine adapts the programme duration to the size of the wash load.Depending on these factors, the duration is recalculated during the programme and updated if necessary; during such periods, an animation appears on the display (if available). For small loads, the programme time indicated in the "programme chart" may be reduced by up to 50%.

Consumption values were measured in normalized conditions in compliance with standard IEC/EN 60 456. Consumption data In the home may vary with respect to the values in the table in relation to the water supply pressure and temperature, the load and the type of wash Water and energy consumption refer to the default setting of the programmes; selecting special options or modifying spin speed or temperature will change the consumption data.
The programme duration may differ from the values indicated above as it depends on the operation conditions applicable at that time (see also "Troubleshooting Guide" in your Instructions for Use).
Approximate remaining moisture content (%). After programme end and spinning with maximum selectable spin speed, in default programme setting. To reduce the water temperature, some cold water is added at the end of the main wash cycle, before the pump drains the water out. Reference: Programme for Enzyme label. For reasons of enzyme cycling, the real water temperature may develop from the desired cyclic temperature up

PREPARATION OF WASH CYCLE

1. Load the laundry, close the door and add detergents as indicated on the front page and as described in the chapter "Detergent and Additives" in your Instructions for Use.
2. Turn the programme selector to the desired programme and temperature.
3. The display shows the programme duration and the predefined spin speed. The indication lamp next to the "Start/Pause" button blinks.
4. If you do not start the programme soon after having made your choice, the washing machine will switch off automatically after about a quarter of an hour. To switch the washing machine on again, turn the programme selector to "O" and afterwards to the desired programme again.

SELECT ANY DESIRED OPTION

When the combination of programme and additional option(s) is not possible, the indication lights switch off automatically. Unsuitable combinations of options are deselected automatically.
