Frequently Asked Questions - TL107SW Ardo

How do I correctly load laundry into the Ardo TL107SW?

Open the door, place laundry loosely inside, ensuring not to overload. The maximum capacity is 6 kg. Distribute items evenly to avoid imbalance during spin.

What is the proper way to add detergent and fabric softener?

Pull out the detergent drawer. For main wash, pour powder or liquid into compartment II. For pre-wash, use compartment I. Add fabric softener to the compartment marked with a flower symbol. Do not overfill.

How can I select a washing program?

Turn the program selector knob to the desired program (e.g., Cotton, Synthetics). The display will show the estimated duration. You can adjust temperature and spin speed if needed. Press Start/Pause to begin.

What does the child lock feature do and how to activate it?

The child lock prevents unintended operation by locking the buttons. To activate, press and hold the Child Lock button (usually marked with a padlock) for 3 seconds. A symbol will appear on the display. Repeat to deactivate.

Why is my washing machine not draining water?

Check the drain hose for kinks or blockages. Clean the drain pump filter located at the bottom front. Turn off the machine and unplug before cleaning. Remove any debris and ensure the filter is securely tightened.

How do I clean the detergent drawer?

Remove the drawer by pressing the release clip. Wash it under warm water with a brush to remove residue. Use a toothpick to clean the siphon tube. Dry thoroughly before reinserting.

What should I do if the machine vibrates excessively?

Ensure the machine is level. Adjust the front feet by turning them clockwise or counterclockwise until the machine is stable. Also, remove any transport bolts if not already done. Uneven loads can also cause vibration.

How do I perform a self-cleaning cycle?

Run a Cotton 90°C cycle without laundry. Add a cup of white vinegar or a special washing machine cleaner to the detergent drawer. This removes lime scale and odors.

What is the maximum spin speed and how to adjust it?

The maximum spin speed is 1000 rpm. You can reduce it by pressing the Spin Speed button repeatedly. Some programs have a default speed that can be changed before starting.

How can I obtain a user manual or spare parts?

Visit notice-facile.com and search for Ardo TL107SW. You can download the manual in PDF. For spare parts, contact Ardo customer service or authorized dealers. The machine supports repairability with parts available for 7 years.

Illustration of hands using a tool to interact with a device, showing motion arrows (no text or symbols)

If the washing machine is not levelled correctly, it will be instable and make noise when operating causing damage.

If the machine is placed on a rug, make sure that air circulates freely between the washing machine and the floor.

CONNECTING TO THE POWER SUPPLY

Make sure that the voltage indicated on the identification plate attached to the inside of the filter door corresponds to that of the mains supply (fig. 10)

All cut-outs, electric wiring and mains sockets must have a rating such that enables them to support the maximum load indicated on the identification plate.

Once the appliance has been installed, it must be connected to the mains supply through a single-pole switch.

The mains supply to which the appliance is connected must be fitted with an earthing system. If this is not the case, the manufacturer will not be held liable for any incidents that may occur (fig. 11).

If the mains socket to which the appliance is connected is faulty or unsuitable, it must be replaced by a qualified electrician.

The washing machine must not be connected to the mains supply using indirect methods such as extension leads or multiple adapters.

During maintenance work, the washing machine must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply.

INSTALLING THE MACHINE

Do not insert or remove the plug from the mains socket with wet hands.

If the power supply cable is damaged in any way, contact the appropriate specialised service centre.

The plug used to connect the machine to the power supply must never be fixed behind the machine, but must be in a position easily accessible in an emergency.

WATER CONNECTION

The mains water pressure must be between 0.05 and 1.00 MPa (0,5 - 10 bar.)

Before connection, open the tap and let the water run in order to clean the pipes from impurities like sand and rust. (This operation is very important when the washing machine has been inactive for a long time or when connected to new piping).
The water supply hose must be connected to the cold water outlet with a 3/4" threaded opening.
▼ Connect the supply hose (fig. 12/13).

Use the new hose provided with the machine. Do not reuse the old one.

Do not connect to the hot water supply.

▼ The water supply tap must be completely open during washing.

Connect the drain hose to a drain piping or wall drain between 60 and 90 cm from the ground without squeezing it (fig.14).
If the water drains directly into the drain piping, the free end of the machine hose must be inserted in the piping with an inside diameter no smaller than 40 mm.

If water is drained into the washbasin or another drain, the free end of the hose must be previously reinforced at the bending with an appropriate hook, provided with the washing machine. Then place the hose at the edge of the washbasin and fix the hook to prevent the hose from falling (fig. 15). The washbasin must have its drain clean to allow water to drain freely.

At each wash cycle make sure that:

Hydraulic connections are correct, the drain hose well positioned, (see hydraulic connection) and the tap is open (fig. 14/15).
▼ Insert the plug in the socket with dry hands.
▼ Sort the laundry according to the type of fabric (see item labelling).
▼ Make sure there are no objects in the pockets of the clothing to be washed which could cause damage to laundry, the machine or the filter
▼ Open the top of the washing machine lightly pressing downwards before lifting it.
Open the drum doors holding both parts with one hand and pressing the opening button with the other (fig. 16).
Put the laundry in the drum being careful not to exceed the maximum program load indicated in the separate program table.
▼ Close the drum doors making sure they are well hooked.
▼ Press down first the front half and then the back so that the closing hooks are inserted and locked. The hooking sound confirms proper closing (fig.18).
▼ Make sure laundry is not stuck between the doors or between the doors and the drum.

USE OF DETERGENT

The washing machine has a compartment for detergent and additives with three chambers (fig. 19).

Iprewash detergent chamber.

Imain wash detergent chamber.

rinsing liquid, softener, fragrance and starch chamber.

Use reduced foam detergents and softeners (if needed) for automatic washing machines. Follow instructions on the package for dosages. When water is particularly hard, use water softener together with the detergent, preventing scaling from forming on the heat element.

Illustration of a hand placing a trash bin into a water dispenser (no text or symbols)

Use of liquid detergent is possible only for programs without prewash.

▼ High quantities of detergent can produce too much foam and affect washing results negatively. Too little detergent causes insufficient washing.
When filling the chamber with detergent, it is important that is does not go into the softener part since there would be rinsing with foam and fabrics could have white stains. Vice versa, if softener goes into the detergent section it would be less effective.

HOW TO REMOVE SOME STAINS

Stains exist that cannot be removed by machine washing alone. Before trying to remove any type of stain by hand, first try the removal procedure on a small area of hidden fabric. Start from the edge of the stain and working inwards, this will prevent a dark ring from forming around the site of the stain. A few methods to adopt for removing stains are reported below.

▼ WAX: Scrape the wax using a rounded point in order not to damage the fabric. Then, with the fabric placed between two pieces of absorbent paper, run a hot iron over the stain.
▼ BALL POINT PENS AND FELT-TIP PENS: clean using a soft cloth soaked in ethyl alcohol. Take care not to spread the stain.
▼ DAMP AND MOULD: if the fabric supports the use of bleach, carry out a wash cycle adding bleach. Otherwise, soak the soiled part in hydrogen peroxide (10 volumes) and leave for 10 to 15 minutes.
LIGHT SCORCH MARKS LEFT BY IRONING: follow the instructions for mould and damp.
▼ Rust: use products specially designed for rust stains, following the manufacturer's instructions written on the packet.
CHEWING GUM: rub ice over the fabric, scrape away as much chewing gum as possible and then rub with a piece of cotton soaked in acetone.

▼ PAINT: do not allow the paint to dry. Rub the area with the solvent recommended by the paint manufacturer (e.g. water, turps, trichloroethylene), soap and then rinse.
LIPSTICK: stains on cotton or wool can be eliminated using a cloth soaked in ether. Stains on silk require the use of trichloroethylene.
▼ NAIL VARNISH: place a sheet of absorbent paper on the stained material, then dampen the back of the fabric with acetone, frequently changing the absorbent paper placed over the stain. Continue in this manner until the stain has disappeared.
▼ TAR OR DIRT: spread a little fresh butter over the stain, allow to stand and then wash with oil of turpentine.
▼ GRASS: delicately soap the stain, use diluted bleach. Good results can be obtained on woollen fabrics using 90% alcohol.
▼ BLOOD: put into soak in cold water with added salt, then wash with washing soap.

Before attempting to operate the washing machine, ensure that the installation has been performed correctly, as described in the instruction booklet.

Daily use

1. Before putting clothes in the washing machine, empty the pockets of any hard or sharp object (nails, screws, coins, pins and stones) that may damage the machine and garments.
2. To improve washing performance, introduce laundry into the washing machine without compressing it or overloading the machine. A whole load of highly absorbent fabrics, such as bathrobes and towels, can unbalance the machine during the spin cycle. The automatic load balancing system arranges laundry in the most even manner possible, and sets the optimum spin speed to minimize any vibrations.
3. Open the top lid of the washing machine, exerting a slight downward pressure before raising it. Press the drum doors slightly with one hand to open them, while the other presses the open button. Close the drum doors making sure they are well secured.
4. Put the correct amount of detergent in the drawer II. If you want to enable the prewash option, add the detergent in the drawer I. Use the drawer marked with the special symbol ✕ for the softener.
5. Select the wash program most suitable to the type of fabrics by using knob A following the instructions in the programs table. One of the LEDs on the function bar will light-up to indicate which wash phase the program will start with. The End LED will light up to indicate the end of the cycle.
6. Pressing the C button, a different spin speed to that provided by the selected program can be set. The D button allows you to delay the start of the wash cycle up to a maximum of 8 hours. Both values are indicated by the respective LEDs.
7. Buttons E, F, G allow the selection of supplementary functions. The options selected are indicated by the relative LEDs. The duration of the wash cycle varies depending on the options enabled.
8. Touch the start button H to start the wash cycle. After a few seconds, the Start LED will stay lit to indicate that the wash program has started.
9. The "END" icon will light up to indicate the end of the wash cycle. Turn the A knob to the OFF position and open the top to take all the laundry.
10. The program can be canceled at any time by turning knob A to the OFF position.
11. To shut down the machine in case of emergency, turn the knob pointer to the "OFF" position. The selection will be confirmed through two sound signals and the shutdown of all LEDs/LCDs.

Unbalanced load control during spin cycle:

This washing machine is equipped with a special electronic control system for proper load balancing. Prior to every spin, the system makes sure that the cloths are spread as evenly as possible in the drum. In the case of uneven laundry distribution, for safety reasons, the final spin speed will be reduced and in cases of high load imbalance, it will not be performed.

ANTI-CREASE: Touch the "ANTI-CREASE" symbol. The appropriate LED will light up so that the washing machine adjusts the washing parameters to prevent creases, making ironing easier. At the end of the wash cycle, the drum will move in alternate way for about 30 minutes. However it can be stopped, at any time, by turning back the knob to "OFF" position.

Once the program started, you can pause the cycle touching the "START/PAUSE" symbol - the LED will blink with a different color. After about 2 minutes since the pause function is enabled, you can open the door to load/empty any laundry and/or change the washing options selected. For safety reasons, you can only open the door during the pause function in certain conditions/phases of wash cycle.

To re-enable the wash cycle, touch for a couple of seconds the "START/PAUSE", symbol. The LED will light up green.

EASY LOGIC: The EASY LOGIC system automatically adjusts washing time, water and energy consumption based on the actual amount of laundry loaded in the machine.

SMART STOP

If included, at the end of the wash cycle, the smart stop function positions king it any easier to remove laundry.

However in particular load conditions, positioning might not be precise and it could be necessary to turn the drum a bit.
