HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

THE LAUNDRY LOAD• Divide the laundry in: white, col-

oured, synthetics, delicates and wool.• Obey the washing instructions that

are on the laundry care labels.• Do not wash together white and col-

oured items.• Some coloured items can discolour

with the first wash. We recommendthat you wash them separately for thefirst times.

• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.

• Empty the pockets and unfold theitems.

• Turn inside out multilayered fabrics,wool and items with painted illustra-tions.

• Remove hard stains.• Wash with a special detergent heavy

soil stains.• Be careful with the curtains. Remove

the hooks or put the curtains in awashing bag or pillowcase.

• Do not wash in the appliance :– Laundry without hems or with cuts– Underwired bras.– Use a washing bag to wash small

items.• A very small load can cause balance

problems with the spin phase. If thisoccurs, adjust manually the items inthe tub and start the spin phaseagain.

STUBBORN STAINSFor some stains, water and detergent isnot sufficient.We recommend that you remove thesestains before you put the items in theappliance.Special stain removers are available.Use the special stain remover that is ap-plicable to the type of stain and fabric.

DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES• Only use detergents and additives

specially made for washing machines.• Do not mix different types of deter-

gents.• To help the environment, do not use

more than the correct quantity of de-tergent.

• Obey the instructions that you findon the on packaging of these prod-ucts.

• Use the correct products for the typeand colour of the fabric, the pro-gramme temperature and the level ofsoil.

• If you use liquid detergents, do notset the prewash phase.

• If your appliance has not the deter-gent dispenser with the flap device,add the liquid detergents with a dos-ing ball.

WATER HARDNESSIf the water hardness in your area ishigh or moderate, we recommend thatyou use a water softener for washingmachines. In areas where the waterhardness is soft it is not necessary touse a water softener.To know the water hardness in yourarea, contact your local water authority.Obey the instructions that you find onthe packaging of the products.Equivalent scales measure the waterhardness:• German degrees (°dH).• French degrees (°TH).• mmol/l (millimol for each litre - inter-

national unit for the hardness of wa-ter).

• Clarke degrees.

EXTERNAL CLEANINGClean the appliance only with soap andwarm water. Fully dry all the surfaces.

CAUTION!Do not use alcohol, solvents orchemical products.

MAINTENANCE WASHWith the low temperature programmesit is possible that some detergent staysin the drum. Make regularly a mainte-nance wash. To do this:• Empty the laundry from the drum.• Set the hottest cotton wash pro-

gramme• Use a correct quantity of powder de-

tergent with biological properties.After each wash, keep the door openfor a while to prevent mould and to letunpleasant smells go out.

DOOR SEAL

Regularly examine the seal and removeall objects from the inner part.

DRUMRegularly examine the drum to preventlimescale and rust particles.Only use special products to removerust particles from the drum.To do this:

• Clean the drum with special productfor stainless steel.

• Start a short programme for cotton atthe maximum temperature with asmall quantity of detergent.

• Install the appliance on a flat hardfloor.

• Make sure that carpets do not stopthe air circulation below the appli-ance.

• Make sure that the appliance doesnot touch the wall or other units

• Loosen or tighten the feet to adjustthe level. A correct adjustment of theappliance level prevents the vibra-tion, noise and the movement of theappliance when in operation.

• The appliance must be level and sta-ble.

CAUTION!Do not put cardboard, wood orequivalent materials below theappliance feet to adjust the lev-el.

Installation on suspendedflooringSuspended wooden floors are particu-larly susceptible to vibration. To helpprevent vibration we recommend youplace a waterproof wood panel, at least

15 mm thick under the appliance, se-cured to at least 2 floor beams withscrews, the wood panel must extendbeyond the front feet.If possible install the appliance in oneof the corners of the room, where thefloor is more stable

THE INLET HOSE

35O35O45O45O

• Connect the hose to the appliance.Turn the inlet hose only left or right.Loose the ring nut to set it in the cor-rect position.

• Connect the water inlet hose to thecold water tap with 3/4 thread.

CAUTION!Make sure that there are noleaks from the couplings.

Do not use an extension hose ifthe inlet hose is too short. Con-tact the service centre for the re-placement of the inlet hose.

Water pressureThe appliance works correctly if the wa-ter pressure is not less than 0.05 MPa(0.5 bar).

If you can not connect the water inlethose to the cold water tap of the pri-mary hydraulic system, connect it toyour domestic cold water storage sys-tem.Make sure not to have more than a dis-tance of 5.02 m (16.5 ft) between theappliance inlet hose and the bottom ofthe water storage tank.

38





























Water-stop device

A

The inlet hose has a water stop device.This device prevents water leaks in thehose because of its natural ageing. Thered sector in the window «A» shows thisfault .If this occur, close the water tap andcontact the service centre to replacethe hose.

WATER DRAINAGEThere are different procedures to con-nect the drain hose:

With the plastic hose guide.

• On the edge of a sink.• Make sure that the plastic guide can-

not move when the appliance drains.Attach the guide to the water tap orthe wall.

• To a stand pipe with vent-hole.Refer to the illustration. Directly intoa drain pipe at a height of not lessthan 60 cm (23.6”) and not more than100 cm (39.3”). The end of the drainhose must always be ventilated , i.e.the inner diameter of the drainpipe(min. 38 mm — min. 1.5”) must belarger than the external diameter ofthe drain hose.

ENGLISH 39

























































































































































































































































































































































































































































• If the end of the drain hose is this(see the drawing), you can push it di-rectly into the stand pipe.

Without the plastic hose guide.

• To a sink spigot.Refer to the illustration. Put the drainhose in the spigot and tighten it witha clip. Make sure that the drain hosemakes a loop to prevent that remain-ing particles go in the appliance fromthe sink.

• Directly to a built-in drain pipe in theroom wall and tighten it with a clip.
