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.
Temperatures
| Temp | Soil level |
| 90°C | For normally soiled white cottons and linen (e.g. teacloths, towels, tablecloths, sheets...). |
60°C 50°C | For normally soiled, colourfast garments (e.g. shirts, night dresses, pajamas....) in linen, cotton or synthetic fibres and for lightly soiled white cotton (e.g.underwear). |
40°C 30°C Cold | For delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed laundry including synthetic fibres and woollens bearing the label pure new wool, machine washable, non-shrink. |
General rules:
| Clothes Load | Quantity |
| 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. |
Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient use of water and energy. For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.
WARNING! Pre-treatment sprays and stain remover can damage plastic components on your washing machine. If you use pre-treatment sprays or stain removers, apply them to the clothing well away from your washing machine.
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and detergent. It is therefore advisable to treat them prior to washing.
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.
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.
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.
(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk.
Low sudsing detergent is required for this washing machine to prevent oversudsing problems, unsatisfactory washing result and harm to the machine.
Low sudsing detergents designed for front load washing machines are labelled “Front Loading”, “high efficiency”, “HE”, such as Cold Power for Front Loaders or “Matic”.
Do not use wrong types of detergent, such as Top Loading, Handwash detergent or Soap-Based products in your frontload washing machine. This can result in excessive suds, longer cycle time, low spin speeds, poor rinsing and overloading of the motor.
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. Although biodegradable detergents contain substances which in large quantities can upset the delicate balance of nature.
The choice and quantity of detergent will depend on ;
Water hardness is classified by so-called “degrees” of hardness.
Information on hardness of the water in your area can be obtained from the relevant water supply company, or from your local authority.
You may have to try using the detergent quantity as per manufacturers’ instructions then compare the wash result to the list below and adjust the amount of detergent for your future washes accordingly.
Not enough detergent causes:
Too much detergent causes:
Use less detergent if:
NOTE: These symbols appear on fabric labels, in order to help you choose the best way to treat your laundry.
WARNING! You must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can carry out any cleaning or maintenance work.
Clean the appliance only with soap and warm water. Fully dry all the surfaces.
CAUTION! Do not use alcohol, solvents or chemical products.
The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good idea to periodically use a water softening powder in the machine.
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.
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.
With the use of low temperature washes it is possible to get a build up of residues inside the drum.
We recommend to use “Tub Clean” program to clean the drum regularly to remove any residue.
To run a maintenance wash:
The washing powder and additive dispenser drawer should be cleaned regularly.
Remove the drawer by pressing the catch downwards and by pulling it out.
To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive compartment should be removed.
Flush it out under a tap to remove any traces of accumulated powder.
Having removed the drawer, use a small brush to clean the recess, ensuring that all washing powder residue is removed from the upper and lower part of the recess. Replace the drawer and run the rinse program without any clothes in the drum.
NOTE: Regularly examine the drain pump and make sure that it is clean.
Clean the pump if:
WARNING!
To clean the drain pump:
1. Open the drain pump door.
2. Place a suitable water container below the recess of the drain pump to collect the water that flows out.
Press the two levers and pull forward the drainage duct to let the water flow out.
3. When the container is full of water, put the drainage duct back again and empty the container. Do step 2, 3 again and again until no more water flows out from the drain pump.
4. Push back the drainage duct and turn the filter counter-clockwise to remove it.
5. Remove fluff and objects from the pump (if there are any).
6. Make sure that the impeller of the pump can turn. If this does not occur, contact the service centre.
7. Clean the filter under the water tap.
8. Put the filter back into the housing with exposed section facing up. Make sure that you correctly tighten the filter to prevent leakages.
9. Close the drain pump door
If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged. It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time.
To clean the water inlet filters:
1. Close the water tap.
2. Remove the water inlet hose from the water tap.
3. Clean the filter in the inlet hose with a stiff brush.
4. Remove the inlet hose behind the appliance.
5. Clean the filter in the valve with a stiff brush or a towel.
6. Install the inlet hose again. Make sure that the couplings are tight to prevent leakages.
7. Open the water tap.
If the appliance is installed in an area where the temperature can be less than 0 °C, remove the remaining water from the inlet hose and the drain pump
Emergency Drain
1. Disconnect the main plug from the main socket. Turn off the water tap.
2. Remove the water inlet hose.
3. Remove the drain hose from the rear support and unhook it from sink or spigot.
4. Put the end of the drain and inlet hose in a container. Let the water flow out of the hoses.
5. When no more water flows, install the inlet hose and the drain hose again.
NOTE: Make sure that the temperature is more than 0 °C before you use the appliance again.
