Programs + Options

1) ECO program with 60 °C option selected is recommended for a full load of normally soiled cottons, and is the water and energy rating label program.

2) Default option for “Tub Clean” program, cannot disable this option.

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instructions.

2. Put 2 litres of water in the detergent compartment for washing phase. This activates the drain system.

3. Select “Whites” cycle at 90 °C, without any laundry in the machine, to remove any manufacturing residue from the drum and tub then start the machine.

WASHING HINTS

1. Sorting 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.

2. Temperatures

3. 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. Make sure that no metal objects are left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).

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 a net.

4. Maximum Loads

Recommended loads are indicated in the program charts. General rules:

Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient use of water and energy. For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.

5. 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 in cold water. 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 acetone (*), lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.
• Lipstick: moisten with acetone (*) as above, then treat stains with methylated spirits. Remove any residual marks from white fabrics 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 (*), 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.
• (*) do not use acetone on artificial silk.

6. 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.

Only low suds Front load washer detergents should 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 program (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 program.
Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer compartment marked “ ” just before starting the program.
Any fabric softener or starching additives must be poured into the compartment marked “ ” before starting the wash program.

Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations on quantities to use and do not exceed the MAX mark in the detergent dispenser drawer.

Do not spray stain pre-treatment products (e.g. Preen) on or near the machine, as it can attack plastic materials reducing its life.

7 Quantity of Detergent To Be Used

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.

Follow detergent manufacturers instructions on recommended dosage of detergent.

Not enough washing powder causes:

• the washload to turn grey,
• greasy clothes.

Too much washing powder causes:

• sudsing,
• reduced washing effect,
• inadequate rinsing.

Use less detergent if:

• you are washing a small load,
• the laundry is lightly soiled,
• large amounts of foam form during washing.

NOTE:
Use only front load type detergents and reduce the amount of detergent if oversudsing occurs.

INTERNATIONAL WASH CODE SYMBOLS

Note: These symbols appear on fabric labels, in order to help you choose the best way to treat your laundry.

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!

You must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can carry out any cleaning or maintenance work.

1. External Cleaning

Clean the appliance only with soap and warm water. Fully dry all the surfaces.

Caution: Do not use alcohol, solvents or chemical products.

2. Descaling

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.

3. After Each Wash

Leave the door open for a while. This helps to prevent mould and stagnant smells forming inside the appliance. Keeping the door open after a wash will also help to preserve the door seal.

4. Maintenance Wash With “Tub Clean” program

With the use of low temperature washes it is possible to get a build up of residues inside the drum.

We recommend to use “Tub Clean” program to clean the drum regularly to remove any residue.

To run a maintenance wash:

• The drum should be empty of laundry.
• Select the “Tub Clean” program.
• Press Start/Pause to start the program.

5. Cleaning The Dispenser Drawer

The washing powder and additive dispenser drawer should be cleaned regularly.

Remove the drawer by pushing the catch and 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.

6. Cleaning The Drawer Bottom

It is recommended to clean the bottom of softener dispenser regularly to remove any residue.

To clean the bottom of softener dispenser:

1. After pulling out the drawer from its recess, turn the bottom side up.

2. Push the catch and pull up the softener bottom cover.

3. Clean the dispenser with an old toothbrush under the water tap.

4. Close the softener bottom cover.

7. 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 program without any clothes in the drum.

8. 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.

To clean the water inlet filters:

1. Close the water tap.
2. Remove the water inlet hose from the water tap.
3. Clean the filter in the inlet hose with a stiff brush.

4. Remove the inlet hose behind the appliance.
5. Clean the filter in the valve with a stiff brush or a towel.

6. Install again the inlet hose.
Make sure that the couplings are tight to prevent leakages.

7. Open the water tap.

8. The Dangers Of Freezing

If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C, certain precautions should be taken.

Note:
For an emergency drain follow the same procedure.

Caution:
Disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.

1. Turn off the water tap.
2. Unscrew the inlet hose.
3. Remove the drain hose from the rear support and unhook it from sink or spigot.

4. Put the ends of the drain and inlet hose in a container. Let the water flow out of the hoses.
5. When no more water flows, install the inlet hose and the drain hose again.

Caution:
Make sure that the temperature is more than 0 °C before you use the appliance again.
The manufacturer is not responsible for damages caused by low temperatures.
