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, woollens.
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.
If you cannot open the door but you need to open it you have to switch the machine off by turning the selector dial to 0. After a few minutes the door can be opened (pay attention to the water level and temperature!).
After closing the door, it is necessary to select the programme and options again and to press button 5.
At the end of the programme
The machine stops automatically. The pilot light of button 5 and the pilot light corresponding to the just finished washing phase go off. The light 7.3 illuminates.
After a few minutes the door can be opened.
If a programme or an option that ends with water left in the tub has been selected, the light 7.3 illuminates but the door remains locked to indicate that the water must be emptied out before opening the door.
Follow the below instructions to empty out the water:
- Turn the programme selector dial to 0 .
- Select the draining or spinning programme.
- Reduce the spin speed if needed, by pressing the relevant button.
- Press button 5 .
At the end of the programme, the door can be now opened. Turn the programme selector dial to 0 to switch the machine off.
Remove the laundry from the drum and carefully check that the drum is empty. If you do not intend to carry out another wash, close the water tap. Leave the door open to prevent the formation of mildew and unpleasant smells.
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.
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 acetone1), 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.
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.

Care and cleaning
Warning! You must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can carry out any cleaning or maintenance work.
Dscaling
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.
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and water only, and then dry thoroughly.
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.
Cleaning the drawer recess
Having removed the drawer, use a small brush to clean the recess, ensuring that all washing powder residue is removed from the upper and lower part of the recess.
Replace the drawer and run the rinse programme without any clothes in the drum.
Drain pump
The pump should be inspected regularly and particularly if:
- the machine does not empty and/or spin
- the machine makes an unusual noise during draining due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking the pump.
Proceed as follows:
- disconnect the appliance.
- if necessary wait until the water has cooled down.
Open the pump door levering on the groove with a coin (or with the suitable tool, that you can find in the bag containing the instruction booklet, depending on the model).
Place a bowl with a small edge close to the pump to collect any spillage.
Pull out the emergency emptying cap from the filter cover, using a pliers.
When no more water comes out, unscrew the pump cover, using a pliers, and remove the filter. Always keep a rag nearby to dry up spillage of water when removing the cover.
Remove any objects from the pump impeller by rotating it.
Replace the filter into the pump paying attention to insert it properly. When done, screw it firmly.
Replace the emergency emptying cap into the filter cover and fix it firmly.
Close the pump door.
Warning! When the appliance is in use and depending on the programme selected there can be hot water in the pump. Never remove the pump cover during a wash cycle, always wait until the appliance has finished the cycle, and is empty. When replacing the cover, ensure it is securely re-tightened so as to stop leaks and young children being able to remove it.
Cleaning the water inlet filter
If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged. It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time.
Turn off the water tap.
Unscrew the water inlet hose. Clean the filter using a hard bristle brush. Tighten up the inlet hose.
Frost precaution
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0^ , certain precautions should be taken.
- Turn off the water tap.
- Unscrew the inlet hose.
-
Place the end of the inlet hose in a bowl placed on the floor, open the emergency emptying cap of the filter and let water drain out.
-
Refit the emergency emptying cap into the filter and screw the water inlet hose back.
- When you intend to start the machine up again, make sure that the room temperature is above 0^ C .
Emergency emptying out
If the water is not discharged, 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;
open the pump door; - place a bowl on the floor. Remove the emergency emptying cap from the filter. The water should drain
by gravity into the bowl. When the bowl is full, refit the emergency emptying cap into the filter. Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water stops flowing out;
- clean the pump if necessary as previously described;
- screw the pump cover again and close the door.
Important! Every time you drain the water through the emergency emptying hose you must pour 2 litres of water into the main wash compartment of the detergent drawer and then run the drain programme. This will activate the ECO Valve device avoiding that part of the detergent remains unused at next washing.
Installation
Unpacking
All transit bolts and packing must be removed before using the appliance.
You are advised to keep all transit devices so that they can be refitted if the machine ever has to be transported again.
After removing all the packaging, carefully lay machine on it's back to remove the polystyrene base from the bottom.
Remove the power supply cable and the hoses from the hose holders on the rear of the appliance.
Unscrew the three bolts.
Slide out the relevant plastic spacers.
Fill the smaller upper hole and the two large ones with the corresponding plastic plug caps supplied in the bag containing the instruction booklet.
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.
If necessary, check the setting with a spirit level.
Water inlet
Warning! This appliance must be connected to a cold water supply
Caution! Before connecting up the appliance to new pipework or to pipework that has not been used for some time, run off a reasonable amount of water to flush out any debris that may have collected
Caution! Do not use the hose from your previous appliance to connect to water supply.
Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4" thread. Always use the hose supplied with the appliance.
The other end of the inlet hose which connects to the appliance can be turned as showed in the picture.
Do not place the inlet hose downwards. Angle the hose to the left or right depending on the position of your water tap. Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring nut. After positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten the ring nut again to prevent leaks.
Caution! 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.
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.
Information on the electrical connection is given on the rating plate on the inner edge of the appliance door. Check that your domestic electrical installation can take the maximum load required, also taking into account any other appliances in use.
Caution! Connect the machine to an earthed socket.
Caution! The manufacturer does not accept

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 soil-ing 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.
