Before using a drying programme (WASHER-DRYERS)
Below is a short guide with tips and advice on the use of detergent.
When washing heavily soiled whites, we recommend using cotton programs of 60°C or above and a normal washing powder (heavy duty) that contains bleaching agents that at medium/high temperatures provide excellent results.
For washes between 40°C and 60°C the type of detergent used needs to be appropriate for the type of fabric and level of soiling. Normal powders are suitable for “white” or colour fast fabrics with high soiling, while liquid detergents or “colour protecting” powders are suitable for coloured fabrics with light levels of soiling.
For washing at temperatures below 40°C we recommend the use of liquid detergents or detergents specifically labeled as suitable for low temperature washing.
For washing wool or silk, only use detergents specifically formulated for these fabrics.
The use of ecological detergents without phosphates may cause the following effects:
- cloudier rinse drain water: This effect is tied to the suspended zeolites which do not have negative effects on rinse efficiency.
- white powder (zeolites) on laundry at the end of the wash: this is normal, the powder is not absorbed by fabric and does not change its colour. To remove the zeolites, select a rinse programme. In the future consider using slightly less detergent.
- foam in the water at last rinse: this does not necessary indicate poor rinsing. Consider using less detergent in future washes.
- abundant foam: This is often due to the anionic surfactants found in the detergents which are hard to eliminate from laundry. In this case, do not re-rinse to eliminate these effects: it will not help at all. We suggest conducting a maintenance wash using a proprietary cleaner.
If the problem persists or if you suspect a malfunction, immediately contact an Authorised Customer Service Centre.
Looking after your appliance correctly can extend its lifespan.
We recommend checking and cleaning the filter 5 or 6 times a year.

This washing machine automatically adjusts the level of the water to the type and quantity of washing. This system gives a reduction in energy consumption and a saving in washing times.

Washing
If you believe the washing machine is not working correctly, consult the quick guide provided below which includes some practical tips on how to fix the most common problems.
| Error shown | Possible causes and practical solutions |
| E2 (with display) 2 flashes of the LEDs (without display) |
The machine cannot load water. Make sure the water supply tap is open. Make sure the water supply hose isn’t bent, kinked or trapped. Make sure the drain pipe is at the proper height (see installation section). Close the water supply tap, unscrew the filler hose from the back of the washing machine and make sure the “anti-sand” filter is clean and not blocked. Check that the filter is not clogged or that there are no foreign bodies inside the filter compartment that can obstruct the proper flow of water. |
| E3 (with display) 3 flashes of the LEDs (without display) |
The washing machine does not drain water. Check that the filter is not clogged or that there are no foreign bodies inside the filter compartment that can obstruct the proper flow of water. Make sure the drain hose isn’t bent, kinked or trapped. Make sure the home drainage system is not blocked and is allowing water to flow through without obstruction. Try to drain the water in the sink |
| E4 (with display) 4 flashes of the LEDs (without display) |
There is too much foam and/or water. Ensure the correct amount of detergent is being used and the detergent is designed for use in a washing machine. |
| E7 (with display) 7 flashes of the LEDs (without display) |
Door problem. Make sure the door is correctly closed. If the door is locked, turn off and unplug the washing machine from the electrical supply socket, wait 2-3 minutes and reopen the door. |
| Any other code | Turn off and unplug the washing machine, wait a minute. Turn on the machine and restart a program. If the error occurs again contact an Authorised Customer Service Centre directly. |
| Problem | Possible causes and practical solutions |
| The washing machine does not work / start | Make sure the product is plugged into a working supply socket. Make sure power is on. Make sure the wall socket is working, testing it with another appliance such as a lamp. The door may not be correctly closed: open and close it again. Check whether the required program was correctly selected and the start button pressed. Make sure the washing machine is not in pause or time delay mode. |
| Water leaked on the floor near the washing machine | This may be due to a leak from the seal between the tap, supply hose and fill valve; in this case, replace it and tighten the hose connections correctly. Make sure the front filter is correctly closed. |
| The washing machine does not spin |
The machine is fitted with a detection system that protects the load and product from damage if the load is not balanced before spinning. This may result in:
If this is experienced remove the load de-tangle it, reload it and restart the spin program. |
| Strong vibrations / noises are heard during the spin cycle | The washing machine may not be fully levelled: if necessary, adjust the feet as indicated in the specific section. Make sure transport screws, rubber bungs and spacer tubes were removed. Make sure there are no foreign objects inside the drum (coins, hinges, buttons, etc…). |
