Washing Hints
WASHING HINTS6.
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.
6.1 Sorting The Laundry
6.2 Temperatures
90°C
60°C
50°C
40°C
30°C
Cold
For 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).
For delicate items (e.g. net
curtains), mixed laundry
including synthetic fibres
and woollens bearing the
label pure new wool,
machine washable,
non-shrink.
For normally soiled white
cottons and linen
(e.g. teacloths, towels,
tablecloths, sheets...).
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.
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.
Make sure that no metal objects
are left in the laundry (e.g. hair
clips, safety pins, pins).
6.3 Before Loading The
Laundry
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.
Cotton, linen:
drum full but not
too tightly packed;
Synthetics:
drum no more
than half full;
Delicate
fabrics and
woollens:
drum no more
than one third full.
6.4 Maximum Loads
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.
Stubborn stains may not be
removed by just water and
detergent. It is therefore advisable
to treat them prior to washing.
6.5 Removing Stains
Washing Hints
17
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.
The detergent and any additives
must be placed in the appropriate
compartments of the dispenser
drawer before starting the wash
program.
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.
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:
(*) do not use acetone on artificial
silk.
6.6 Detergents and Additives
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.
If using concentrated powder
or liquid detergents, a program
without PREWASH must be
selected.
Use only a recommended
detergent for maximum clean
laundry result and life span of
the machine guaranteed.
Pour liquid detergent into the
dispenser drawer compartment
marked ‘ ’ just before starting
the program.

load size, degree of soiling and
hardness of the water used.
Do not spray stain pre-treatment
products (e.g. Preen) on or near
the machine, as it can attack
plastic materials reducing its
life.
Information on hardness of the
water in your area can be obtained
from the relevant water supply
company, or from your local
authority.
Follow the product manufacturers’
instructions on quantities to use.
Water hardness is classified in
so-called “degrees” of hardness.

Care And Cleaning
CARE AND CLEANING8.
You must DISCONNECT the
appliance from the electricity
supply, before you can carry out
any cleaning or maintenance
work.
The water we use normally
contains lime. It is a good idea to
periodically use a water softening
powder in the machine.
Clean the appliance only with soap
and warm water. Fully dry all the
surfaces.
Do not use alcohol, solvents or
chemical products.
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.
8.2 Descaling
8.1 External Cleaning
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.
8.5 Cleaning The Dispenser
Drawer
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.
8.3 After Each 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.
8.4 Maintenance Wash
The drum should be empty of
laundry.
Select the hottest ‘Cottons 90 °C’
wash program.
Use a normal measure of detergent,

leaks.
11.3 Water Inlet
Install the machine on a flat hard
floor. Make sure that air circulation
around the machine is not
impeded by carpets, rugs etc.
Check that the machine does not
touch the wall or cupboard units.
The inlet hose must not be
lengthened. If it is too short and
you do not wish to move the tap,
you will have to purchase a new,
longer hose specially designed for
this type of use.
This could be done by tying it to
the tap with a piece of string or
attaching it to the wall.
In a sink drain pipe branch. This
branch must be above the trap so
that the bend is at least 60 cm
above the ground.
Directly into a drain pipe at a
height of not less than 60 cm and
not more than 90 cm.
The end of the drain hose can be
positioned in three ways:
Hooked over the edge of a sink
using the plastic hose guide
supplied with the machine.
In this case, make sure the end
cannot come unhooked when the
machine is emptying.
11.4 Water Drainage
32 Installation
Should the appliance power
supply cable need to be replaced,
this should be carried out by our
Service Centre.
When the appliance is installed
the power supply cable must be
easily accessible.
If this appliance is supplied from a
cord extension set or electrical
portable outlet device, the cord
extension set or electrical portable
device must be positioned so that
it is not subject to splashing or
ingress of moisture.
The end of the drain hose must
always be ventilated, i.e. the
inside diameter of the drain pipe
must be larger than the outside
diameter of the drain hose.
The drain hose must not be
kinked. Run it along the floor; only
the part near the drainage point
must be raised.
For the correct functioning of the
machine the drain hose must
remain hooked on the proper
support piece situated on the top
part of back side of the appliance.

ENVIRONMENT CONCERNS12.
Normally soiled laundry may be
washed without prewashing in
order to save detergent, water
and time (the environment is
protected too!).
The machine works more
economically if it is fully loaded.
With adequate pre-treatment,
stains and limited soiling can
be removed; the laundry can
then be washed at a lower
temperature.
Measure out detergent
according to the water
hardness, the degree of soiling
and the quantity of laundry
being washed.
