WASHING HINTS

Sorting The Laundry

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

Before Loading The Laundry

• Make sure that no metal objects are left in the laundry (e.g. coin, hair clips, safety pins, pins).
  
  
  
• Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.
  
• Wash bras, pantyhose and other delicates in a mesh laundry bag, which you can purchase from your supermarket.
  
• Make sure that you wash lint collectors separately from lint producers.
• Never wash whites and coloured fabrics 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.
• Remove persistent stains before washing. ms may run in the first wash; they should therefore be washed separately the first time.
• 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.

Maximum Loads

Recommended loads are indicated in the program charts on page 11.

General rules:

Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient use of water and energy. For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.

Removing Stains

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.

Detergents Type And Quantity Of Detergent

Low sudsing detergent is required for this Wahser-Dryer 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 Wahser-Dryer. This can result in excessive suds, longer cycle time, low spin speeds, poor rinsing and overloading of the motor.

Quantity of detergent to be used

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 ;

• type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.) ;
• the colour of clothes ;
• size of the load ;
• degree of soil ;
• wash temperature ; and
• hardness of the water used.

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:

• the washload to turn grey,
• greasy clothes.

Too much detergent causes:

• oversudsing,
• reduced washing effect,
• inadequate rinsing.

Use less detergent if:

• you are washing a small load,
• the laundry is lightly soiled, l
• arge amounts of foam during washing.

DRYING HINTS

Preparing The Drying Cycle

As a dryer, the appliance works on condensation principle.

Therefore, the water tap must be open and the drain hose must drain water into a sink or into the drain pipe, even during the drying cycle.

Laundry Not Suitable For Drying

• Particularly delicate items such as synthetic curtains, woollen and silk, garments with metal inserts, nylon stockings, bulky garments such as anoraks, bed covers, quilts, sleeping bags and duvets must not be machine dried.
• Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy items such as towels as these can attract fluff.
• Remove the laundry when the appliance has finished drying.
• To avoid a static charge when drying is completed, use either a fabric softener when you are washing the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for tumble dryers.
• Garments padded with foam-rubber or materials similar to foam-rubber must not be machine dried; they represent a fire hazard.
• Also, fabrics containing residue of setting lotions or hair sprays, nail solvents or similar solutions must not be machine dried to avoid formation of harmful vapours.

The detergent and any additives must be placed in the appropriate compartments of the dispenser drawer before starting the wash program.

Garment Labels

For drying, follow the indications given on the manufacturer's labels:

May be tumble dried

Drying at high temperature

Drying at reduced temperature

Do not tumble dry

Drying Cycle Duration

The drying time may vary depending on:

• speed of the final spin;
• dryness level required (Extra dry, Cupboard dry, Iron dry);
• type of laundry;
• weight of the load.

The average drying time for a timed drying are indicated in the “Time Dry ” option (see page 14). The experience will help you to dry your laundry in a more suitable way according to the different fabrics.

Additional Drying

If the laundry is still damp at the end of the drying program, select a short drying cycle again.

WARNING!

Do not over dry the laundry in order to avoid creasing of fabrics or garments shrinking.

INTERNATIONAL WASH CODE SYMBOLS

These symbols appear on fabric labels, in order to help you choose the best way to treat your laundry.

CARE AND CLEANING

External Cleaning

Clean the appliance only with soap and warm water. Fully dry all the surfaces.

CAUTION!

Do not use alcohol, solvents or chemical products.

Descaling

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.

After Each Wash

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.

Maintenance Wash With “Tub Clean” Program

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 drum should be empty of laundry.
• Select the “Tub Clean” program.
• Press Start/Pause to start the program

Cleaning The Dispenser Drawer

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.

Cleaning The Drawer Recess

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.

Cleaning The Pump

Clean the pump if:

• The appliance does not drain the water.
• The drum cannot turn.
• The appliance makes an unusual noise because of the blockage of the drain pump.
• The display shows an alarm code because of the problem with water drain.

WARNING

1. Disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.
2. Do not remove the filter while the appliance is operating. Do not clean the drain pump if the water in the appliance is hot. The water must be cold before you clean the drain pump.

To clean the drain pump:

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 counterr-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.

Cleaning The Water Inlet Filter

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.
