WASH CYCLES
Follow the instructions on the symbols of the garment’s wash care label. The value indicated in the symbol is the maximum recommended temperature for washing the garment.
Mixed
For washing lightly to normally soiled resistant garments in cotton, linen, synthetic fibres and mixed fibres.
Eco 40-60
For washing normally soiled cotton garments declared to be washable at 40 °C or 60 °C, together in the same cycle. This is the standard cotton programme and the most efficient in terms of water and energy consumption.
Cotton
Suitable for washing towels, underwear, table cloths, etc. made of resistant linen and cotton that are moderately to heavily soiled.
Synthetics
Suitable for washing moderately soiled garments made of synthetic fibres e.g. polyester, polyacrylic, viscose, etc.) or mixed synthetic-cotton fibres.
Delicates
Suitable for washing lightly soiled garments made of synthetic fibres (e.g. polyester, polyacrylic, viscose, etc.) or mixed synthetic-cotton fibres.
Wool - Woolmark Apparel Care - Green:
The “Wool” wash cycle is approved by the Woolmark Company for washing wool garments classified as “hand-washable”, provided that the wash complies with the instructions appearing on the garment’s label and with those provided by the manufacturer of this washing machine.
Anti Allergy
Suitable for removing major allergens such as pollen, mites and cat or dog hair.
Spin & Drain
Spins the load then empties the water. For resilient garments. If you exclude the spin cycle, the machine will drain only.
Rinse & Spin
Rinses and then spins. For resilient garments.
Baby
Use the special wash cycle to remove the soiling typically caused by babies, while removing all traces of detergent from nappies in order to prevent the delicate skin of babies from suffering allergic reactions. The cycle has been designed to reduce the amount of bacteria by using a greater quantity of water and optimising the effect of special disinfecting additives added to the detergent.
20 °C.
For washing lightly soiled cotton garments, at a temperature of 20 °C.
Duvet
Suitable for washing clothing padded with goose down, such as single duvets (weighing under 3,5 kg), cushions or down jackets. Duvets should be loaded into the drum with their edges folded inwards and no more than 3⁄4 of the total drum volume should be used up. For best results, it is advisable to use liquid detergent to be poured into the detergent drawer.
White
For heavily soiled whites and resistant colours. min
30 min
For washing lightly soiled garments in a short time. Not suitable for wool, silk and garments to be washed by hand.
Full Load 45 min
Suitable for washing a full load of cotton clothes moderately soiled in 45 minutes.
Anti Stain 40° the programme is suitable to heavily-soiled garments with resistant colours. It ensures a washing class that is higher than the standard class (A class). When running the programme, do not mix garments of different colours. We recommend the use of powder detergent. Pre-treatment with special additives is recommended if there are particularly obstinate stains.
Eco Cotton
For washing normally soiled cotton garments. At 40°C and 60°C.
DISPLAY
The display is useful when programming the washing machine and provides plenty of information.
The duration of the available wash cycles and the remaining time of a running cycle appear (the display will show the maximum duration of the cycle chosen, which may decrease after several minutes, since the effective duration of the programme varies depending on the wash load and the settings chosen); if the DELAY START option has been set, the countdown to the start of the selected wash cycle will appear.
Pressing the corresponding button allows you to view the maximum spin speed and temperature values attained by the machine during the set wash cycle, or the values selected most recently, if these are compatible with the set wash cycle.
FIRST-TIME USE
Once the appliance has been installed, and before it is used for the first time, run a wash cycle with a very little detergent and no laundry, by setting the “Auto-Clean” cycle. (see “CARE AND MAINTENANCE”)
AT THE END OF THE WASH CYCLE
This will be indicated by the word “END” on the display; when the symbol switches off, the door may be opened. Open the door, unload the laundry and switch off the machine. If you do not press “ON/OFF” button, the washing machine will switch off automatically after about a 10 minutes.
TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
Divide the laundry according to:
Type of fabric (cotton, mixed fibres, synthetics, wool, garments to be hand-washed). Colour (separate coloured garments from whites, wash new coloured garments separately). Delicates (small garments – such as nylon stockings – and items with hooks – such as bras: insert them in a fabric bag).
Empty the pockets:
Objects such as coins or lighters can damage the washing machine and the drum. Check all buttons.
Follow the dosage recommendation / additives
It optimizes the cleaning result, it avoids irritating residues of surplus detergent in your laundry and it saves money by avoiding waste of surplus detergent
Use low temperature and longer duration
The most efficient programmes in terms of energy consumption are generally those that perform at lower temperatures and longer duration.
Observe the load sizes
Load your washing machine up to the capacity indicated in the PROGRAMME CHART” table to save water and energy.
Noise and remaining moisture content
They are influenced by the spinning speed: the higher the spinning speed in the spinning phase, the higher the noise and the lower the remaining moisture content.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cutting off the water and electricity supplies
Cleaning the washing machine
Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer
Remove the dispenser drawer by lifting and pulling it outwards. Wash it under running water; this procedure should be effected regularly.
Caring for the door and drum
Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.
Cleaning the pump
- remove the covering panel on the front side of the machine by inserting a screwdriver in the centre and sides of the panel and using it as a lever.
- loosen the drainage pump cover by turning it anti-clockwise: it is normal for some water to leak out
- clean the inside thoroughly
- screw the cover back on
- put the panel back in place, making sure the hooks slot in place before pushing the panel onto the appliance.
Checking the water inlet hose
LOAD BALANCING SYSTEM
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations before every spin and to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates continuously at a speed which is slightly greater than the washing rotation speed. If, after several attempts, the load is not balanced correctly, the machine spins at a reduced spin speed. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the washing machine performs the distribution process instead of spinning. To encourage improved load distribution and balance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed in the load.
ACCESSORIES
Contact our Technical Assistance Service to check whether the following accessories are available for this washing machine model.
Stacking kit
With this accessory you can secure the tumble dryer to the upper part of your washing machine to save space and facilitate loading and unloading of the tumble dryer.
TRANSPORT AND HANDLING
Do not lift the washing machine by gripping it from the upper section. Unplug the appliance and close the water tap. Check that the door and detergent dispenser drawer are tightly closed. Detach the filling hose from the water tap then detach the drain hose. Empty all the water remaining in the hoses and secure the latter so that they do not get damaged during transport. Apply the transport bolts back on. Repeat, in reverse order, the transport bolt removal
TROUBLESHOOTING
Your washing machine could occasionally fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Service, make sure that the problem cannot be easily solved using the following list.
The washing machine does not start.
- The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or not enough to make contact.
- There is no power in the house.
The wash cycle does not start.
- The washing machine door is not closed properly.
