According to UK Ecodesign for Energy-Related Products and Energy Information Regulations and to the EU
Ecodesign Regulation 2019/2023 and the EU Energy Label Regulation 2019/2014, this programme at 40 °C is able
to clean normally soiled cotton laundry declared to be washable at 40 °C or 60 °C, together in the same cycle.
For the reached temperature in the laundry, the programme duration and other data, please refer to 'Con‐
sumption Values' chapter.
The most efficient programmes in terms of energy consumption are generally those that perform at lower tem‐
peratures and longer duration.

12. HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
12.1 The laundry load
• Divide the laundry into: white, coloured,
synthetics, delicates and wool.
• Follow the washing instructions on the
laundry care labels.
• Do not wash white and coloured items
together.
• Some coloured items can discolour with
the first wash. We recommend that you
wash them separately for the first couple
of times.
• Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and items
with printed illustrations inside out.
• Pre-treat stubborn stains.
• Wash stubborn stains with a special
detergent.
• Be careful with curtains. Remove the
hooks and put the curtains in a washing
bag or pillowcase.
• A very small load can cause balance
problems with the spin phase leading to
excessive vibration. If this occurs:
a. interrupt the programme and open the
door (refer to "Daily Use" chapter);
b. manually redistribute the load so that
the items are spaced evenly around
the tub;
c. press the Start/Pause button. The
spin phase continues.
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,
hooks and poppers. Tie up belts, cords,
shoelaces, ribbons and any other loose
elements.
• Do not wash laundry without hems or with
cuts. Use a washing bag to wash small
and/or delicate items (e.g. underwired
ENGLISH 31
bras, belts, tights, shoelaces, ribbons,
etc. ).
• Empty pockets and unfold the items.
12.2 Stubborn stains
For some stains, water and detergent is not
sufficient.
We recommend that you pre-treat these
stains before you put the items in the
appliance.
Special stain removers are available. Use the
special stain remover that is applicable to the
type of stain and fabric.
Do not spray stain remover on garments near
the appliance as it is corrosive to the plastic
parts.
12.3 Detergent type and quantity
The choice of detergent and use of correct
quantities not only affects your wash
performance, but also helps to avoid waste
and protect the environment:
• Use only detergents and other treatments
specially made for washing machines.
First, follow these generic rules:
– powder detergents (also tablets and
single-dose detergents) for all types of
fabric, excluding delicate. Prefer
powder detergents containing bleach
for whites and laundry sanitization,
– liquid detergents (also single-dose
detergents) , preferably for low
temperature wash programmes (60 °C
max) for all types of fabric, or special
ones for woollens only.
• The choice and quantity of detergent will
depend on: type of fabric (delicates,
woollens, cottons, etc), the colour of
clothes, size of the load, degree of soiling,
wash temperature and hardness of the
water used.
• Follow the instructions that you find on
packaging of the detergents or other
treatments without exceeding the
indicated maximum level (
).
• Do not mix different types of detergents.
• Use less detergent if:
– you are washing a small load,
– the laundry is lightly soiled,
– there is large amounts of foam during
washing.
• When using detergent tabs or pods,
always put them inside the drum, not in
the detergent dispenser and follow the
manufacturer's recommendations .
Insufficient detergent may cause:
• unsatisfactory washing results,
• the wash load to turn grey,
• greasy clothes,
• mould in the appliance.
Excessive detergent may cause:
• sudsing,
• reduced washing effect,
• inadequate rinsing,
• a greater impact for the environment.
12.4 Ecological hints
To save water, energy and to help protect the
environment, we recommend that you follow
these tips:
• Normally soiled laundry may be washed
without prewash in order to save
detergent, water and time (the
environment is protected too!).
32 ENGLISH
• Loading the appliance to the maximum
capacity indicated for each
programmes helps to reduce energy
and water consumption.
• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and
limited soiling can be removed; the
laundry can then be washed at a lower
temperature.
• To use the correct quantity of detergent,
refer to the quantity suggested by the
detergent producer and check the water
hardness of you domestic system. Refer
to 'Water hardness'.
• Set the maximum possible spin speed
for the selected washing programme
before drying your laundry in a tumble
dryer. This will save energy during drying!
12.5 Water hardness
If the water hardness in your area is high or
moderate, we recommend that you use a
water softener for washing machines. In
areas where the water hardness is soft it is
not necessary to use a water softener.
To find out the water hardness in your area,
contact your local water authority.
Use the correct quantity of water softener.
Follow the instructions that you find on the
packaging of the product.
13. CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
13.1 Periodic cleaning schedule
Periodic cleaning helps to extend the life
of your appliance.
After each cycle, keep the door and the
detergent dispenser slightly ajar to get air
circulation and dry the humidity inside the
appliance: this will prevent mildew and
odours.
If the appliance is not used for a long time:
close the water tap and unplug the appliance.
Indicative periodic cleaning schedule:
Descaling Twice a year
Maintenance wash Once a month
Clean door seal Every two months
Clean drum Every two months

Clean the inlet hose and
the valve filter
Twice a year
The following paragraphs explain how you
should clean each part.
13.2 Removing foreign objects
Make sure that pockets are empty and all
loose elements are tied up before
running your cycle. Refer to "The laundry
load" in "Hints and tips".
Remove any foreign objects (such as metal
clip, buttons, coins, etc) that you may find in
the door seal, the filters and the drum. Refer
to "Door seal with double lip trap", "Cleaning
the drum", "Cleaning the drain pump" and

limescale.
Regular detergents already contain water
softening agents, but we recommend to run a
cycle with an empty drum and a descaling
product.
Always follow the instructions that you
find on the packaging of the product.
13.5 Maintenance wash
The repeated and prolonged use of low
temperature programmes can cause
detergent deposits, fluff residues, bacterial
growth inside the drum and the tub. This
could generate bad odours and mildew. To
eliminate these deposits and clean the inner
part of the appliance, run a maintenance
wash regularly (at least once a month).
Refer to "Cleaning the drum" paragraph.
13.6 Door seal with double lip trap
This appliance is designed with a self
cleaning draining system, allowing light fluff
fibers that fall off the clothes to be drained out
with the water. Regularly examine the seal.
Coins, buttons, other small items can be
recovered at the end of the cycle.
Clean it when needed, using ammonia cream
cleanser agent without scratching the seal
surface.
Always obey the instructions that you find
on the packaging of the product.
Check and remove objects (if there are any)
that could be trapped in the fold.
Make sure that no laundry remains between
the seal and the door.
Use a moist cloth to wipe off any dirt or water
residue left behind in the door seal after
completion of program cycle.
13.7 Cleaning the drum
Regularly examine the drum to prevent
unwanted deposits.
Rust deposits in the drum may occur due to
rusting foreign body in the washing or tap
water containing iron
Clean the drum with special products for
stainless steel.
Always follow the instructions that you
find on the packaging of the product.
Do not clean the drum with acidic
descaling products, scouring products
containing chlorine or iron or steel wool.
