WASHING HINTS

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.

Temperatures

90°CFor normally soiled white cottons and linen (e.g. teacloths, towels, tablecloths, sheets...).
60°C 50°CFor normally soiled, colourfast garments (e.g. shirts, night dresses, pyjamas....) in linen, cotton or synthetic fibres and for lightly soiled white cotton (e.g.underwear).
40°C 30°C ColdFor delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed laundry including synthetic fibres and woollens bearing the label pure new wool, machine washable, non-shrink

Before Loading The Laundry

  • 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.
  • Wash bras, pantyhose and other delicates in a mesh laundry bag, which you can purchase from your supermarket.
  • Make sure that you wash lint collectors separately from lint producers.
  • 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.
  • 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

Maximum Loads

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

Cotton, linen:drum full but not too tightly packed;
Synthetics:drum no more than half full;
Delicate fabrics and woollens:Delicate fabrics and woollens:

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

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.

INTERNATIONAL WASH CODE SYMBOLS

CARE AND CLEANING

External Cleaning

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

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.

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.

Maintenance Wash

With the use of low temperature washes it is possible to get a build up of residues inside the drum. We recommend that a maintenance wash be performed on a regular basis.

To run a maintenance wash:

  • The drum should be empty of laundry
  • Select the hottest cotton wash program
  • Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a powder with biological properties.

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 program without any clothes in the drum.

Cleaning The Pump

Clean the pump if:

  • The appliance does not drain the water.
  • The drum cannot turn
  • The appliance makes an unusual noise because of the blockage of the drain pump.
  • The display shows an alarm code because of the problem with water drain.

To clean the drain pump:

1. Open the drain pump door.

2. Pull the flap down, then squeeze the legs on both sides of the cover together and pull out (as picture).

3. Place a suitable water container below the recess of the drain pump to collect the water that flows out. Press the two levers and pull forward the drainage duct to let the water flow out.

4. When the container is full of water, put the drainage duct back again and empty the container. Do step 3 again and again until no more water flows out from the drain pump.

5. Pull back the drainage duct and turn the filter counter-clockwise to remove it

6. Remove fluff and objects from the pump (if there are any).

7. Make sure that the impeller of the pump can turn. If this does not occur, contact the service center.

8. Clean the filter under the water tap

9. Put the filter back in the pump into the special guides. Make sure that you correctly tighten the filter to prevent leakages.

10. Put the flap back and close the drain pump door.

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

7. Open the water tap.

Frost Precautions

If the appliance is installed in an area where the temperature can be less than 0 °C, remove the remaining water from the inlet hose and the drain pump.

Emergency Drain

1. Disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket. Turn off the water tap

2. Remove the water 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.
