Washing hintsSorting the laundryFollow the wash code symbols on eachgarment label and the manufacturer’s washinginstructions. Sort the laundry as follows: whites,coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.

Temperatures

Before loading the laundryNever wash whites and colours together.Whites may lose their «whiteness» in thewash.New coloured items may run in the first wash;they should therefore be washed separatelythe first time.Make sure that no metal objects are left inthe laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins,pins). Button up pillowcases, close zipfasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie any beltsor long tapes.Remove persistent stains before washing. Rub particularly soiled areas with a specialdetergent or detergent paste.Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooksor tie them up in a bag or net.

Maximum loadsRecommended loads are indicated in theprogramme charts.General rules:Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightlypacked;Synthetics: drum no more than half full;Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no morethan one third full.Washing a maximum load makes the mostefficient use of water and energy.For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the loadsize.

Laundry weightsThe following weights are indicative:

Removing stainsStubborn stains may not be removed by justwater and detergent. It is therefore advisable totreat them prior to washing.Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. Fordried stains, soak overnight in water with aspecial detergent then rub in the soap andwater.

90° or 95°for normally soiled whitecottons and linen (e.g. teacloths, towels, tablecloths,sheets...)

50°/60°

for normally soiled, colour fastgarments (e.g. shirts, nightdresses, pyjamas....) in linen,cotton or synthetic fibres andfor lightly soiled white cotton(e.g. underwear).

Detergents and additivesGood washing results also depend on thechoice of detergent and use of the correctquantities to avoid waste and protect theenvironment. Although biodegradable,detergents contain substances which, in largequantities, can upset the delicate balance ofnature.

The choice of detergent will depend on thetype of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons,etc.), the colour, washing temperature anddegree of soiling.All commonly available washing machinedetergents 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 woollensonly.

The detergent and any additives must beplaced in the appropriate compartments of thedispenser drawer before starting the washprogramme.If using concentrated powder or liquiddetergents, a programme without prewashmust be selected.The washing machine incorporates arecirculation system which allows an optimaluse of the concentrated detergent.Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawercompartment marked just before startingthe programme.Any fabric softener or starching additives mustbe poured into the compartment marked before starting the wash programme.Follow the product manufacturer’srecommendations on quantities to use and donot exceed the «MAX» mark in thedetergent dispenser drawer.

Quantity of detergent to be usedThe type and quantity of detergent will dependon the type of fabric, load size, degree ofsoiling and hardness of the water used.Water hardness is classified in so-called«degrees» of hardness. Information onhardness of the water in your area can beobtained from the relevant water supplycompany.

IMPORTANT!You must DISCONNECT the appliance fromthe electricity supply, before you can carry outany cleaning or maintenance work.DescalingThe water we use normally contains lime. It isa good idea to periodically use a watersoftening powder in the machine. Do thisseparately from any laundry washing, andaccording to the softening powdermanufacturer's instructions. This will help toprevent the formation of lime deposits.Maintenance WashWith the use of low temperature washes it ispossible to get a build up of residues inside thedrum. We recommend that a maintenance wash beperformed on a regular basis.To run a maintenance wash:● The drum should be empty of laundry.● Select the hottest cotton wash programme.● Use a normal measure of detergent, must be

a powder with biological properties.External cleaningClean the exterior cabinet of the appliance withsoap and water only, and then dry thoroughly.Cleaning the dispenser drawerThe washing powder and additive dispenserdrawer should be cleaned regularly.

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

Remove the drawer by pressing the catchdownwards and by pulling it out. Flush it outunder a tap, to remove any traces ofaccumulated powder.Cleaning the drawer recess

Having removed thedrawer, use a smallbrush to clean therecess, ensuring thatall washing powderresidue is removedfrom the upper andlower

part of the recess.Replace the drawer and run the rinseprogramme without any clothes in the drum.

Cleaning the pumpThe pump should be inspected 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.

● Place a container closeto the pump to collectany spillage.

● Pull out the emergencyemptying hose, place itin the container andremove its cap.

● When no more watercomes out, unscrew the pump cover andremove it. Always keep a rag nearby to dry upspillage of water when removing the cover.

Care and cleaning

Malfunction Possible Cause / Solution

The door will not open:

The programme is still running.• Wait till the end of washing cycle.The door lock has not been released.• Wait until the light has gone off.There is water in the drum.• Select drain or spin programme to empty out the

water.

6.2

Spinning starts late or the machinedoes not spin:

The electronic unbalance detection device has cut inbecause the laundry is not evenly distributed in thedrum. The laundry is redistributed by reverse rotationof the drum. This may happen several times beforethe unbalance disappears and normal spinning canresume. If, after 10 minutes, the laundry is still notevenly distributed in the drum, the machine will notspin. In this case, redistribute the load manually andselect the spin programme.● Redistribute the laundry.

The machine makes an unusual noise

The machine is fitted with a type of motor whichmakes a different noise compared with othertraditional motors. This new motor ensures a softerstart and more even distribution of the laundry in thedrum when spinning, as well as increased stability ofthe machine.

No water is visible in the drumMachines based on modern technology operate veryeconomically using very little water without affectingperformance.

If you are unable to identify or solve theproblem, contact our service centre. Before telephoning, make a note of the model,serial number and purchase date of yourmachine: the Service Centre will require thisinformation.
