Sport
This option allows for selecting the most suitable programme for any type
of sports clothing, and is designed to remove dirt while optimally preserv-
ing the technical features of the garments. The various Sport option levels
oer the following wash cycles:
- Sport Shoes, a cycle designed to safely wash up to 2 pairs of sports
shoes simultaneously.
- Gym Kit, a cycle designed to simultaneously wash any type of sports
clothing together with gym towels.
- Technical Wear, designed for specically washing waterproof gar-
ments or clothing with special technical bres like Gore-Tex, so as to op-
timise washing performance while preserving their technical properties
over time. Do not use fabric softeners for garments with technical bres.
Delayed Start
To set a delayed start for the selected cycle, press the corresponding
button repeatedly until the desired delay period has been reached. When
this option has been activated, the symbol lights up on the display. To
remove the delayed start setting, press the button until the word “OFF”
appears on the display.
Temperature
Each wash cycle has a pre-dened temperature. To modify the
temperature, press the button. The value will appear on the display.
Spin
Each wash cycle has a pre-dened spin speed. To modify the spin speed,
press the button. The value will appear on the display.
CHILD LOCK
To activate the control panel lock, press and hold the button for
approximately 2 seconds. The lit “ “ symbol signals that the control
panel is locked. This prevents wash cycles from being modied
accidentally (except for the ON/OFF button), especially if there are
children in the home. To deactivate the control panel lock, press and hold
the button for approximately 2 seconds.
TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
Divide the laundry according to:
Type of fabric (cotton, mixed bres, 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 ecient 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
“Wash Cycle Table” table to save water and energy.
Noise and remaining moisture content
They are inuenced 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
Before performing cleaning and maintenance, switch the washing machine
o and disconnect it from the mains power. Do not use ammable liquids to
clean the washing machine. Clean and maintain your washing machine
periodically (at least 4 times per year).
Disconnect the water and power supplies
Close the water tap after every wash. This will limit wear on the hydraulic
system inside the washing machine and help to prevent leaks.
Unplug the washing machine when cleaning it and during all
maintenance work.
Clean the washing machine
The outer parts and rubber components of the appliance can be cleaned
using a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or
abrasives.
The washing machine has a “Auto-Clean” cycle for its internal parts; it
must be run without any load in the drum.
To optimise this cycle, it is possible to use either detergent (10% of the
quantity specied for lightly soiled garments) or special additives to clean
the washing machine. We recommend running a cleaning cycle every 40
wash cycles.
To start the cycle press buttons and simultaneously for 5 seconds.
The cycle will start automatically and will run for about 70 minutes. To
stop the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button.
Clean the detergent dispenser drawer
Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently.
Care for the door and drum
Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant
odours from forming.
Clean the pump
The washing machine is tted with a auto-cleaning pump that does not
require any maintenance. Small items (such as coins or buttons) may
sometimes fall into the protective pre-chamber situated at the base of the
pump.
! Make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug the appliance.
To access the pre-chamber:
1. remove the cover panel on the front of the machine by rst pressing it
in the centre then pushing downwards on both sides to extract it;
2. loosen the drainage pump cover by turning it anti-clockwise: it is
normal for some water to leak out;
3. clean the inside thoroughly;
4. screw the cover back on;
5. put the panel back in place, making sure the hooks slot in place before
pushing the panel onto the appliance.
Check the water inlet hose
Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If it is cracked or broken, it
must be replaced: during wash cycles, the high pressure of the water
could suddenly split the hose open.
! Never use hoses that have already been used.
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 lling 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 procedure described in the
“Health & Safety and Installation Guides”.
