DAILY USE
Load the laundry
1. Open the door by carefully pulling the
door handle outwards. Place the laundry
in the drum, one item at a time, shaking
them out as much as possible.
2. Close firmly the door. You must hear a
click during closing.
WARNING!
Do not embed the laundry between the door
and the rubber joint.
Daily use 9
Turn the programme selector dial to to switch the machine off. Remove the laundry
from the drum and carefully check that the drum is empty.
If you do not intend to carry out another wash, close the water tap. Leave the door open to
prevent the formation of mildew and unpleasant smells.
Stand by: once the programme has finished after a few minutes the energy saving system
is enabled with the pilot lights switched on. By pressing any button the appliance will come
out of the energy saving status.
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric first with acetone1), 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 deter-
gent paste.
Detergents and additives
Good washing results also depend on the choice of detergent and use of the correct quan-
tities to avoid waste and protect the environment.
Although biodegradable, detergents contain substances which, in large quantities, can up-
set the delicate balance of nature.
The choice of detergent will depend on the type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.),
the colour, washing temperature and degree of soiling.
All commonly available washing machine detergents may be used in this appliance:
powder detergents for all types of fabric
powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60C max) and woollens
liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature wash programmes (60C max) for all
types of fabric, or special for woollens only.
The detergent and any additives must be placed in the appropriate compartments of the
dispenser drawer before starting the wash programme.
If using liquid detergents, a programme without prewash must be selected.
Your appliance incorporates a recirculation system which allows an optimal use of the con-
centrated detergent.
Follow the product manufacturers recommendations on quantities to use and do not ex-
ceed the MAX mark in the detergent dispenser drawer.
Quantity of detergent to be used
The type and quantity of detergent will depend on the type of fabric, load size, degree of
soiling and hardness of the water used.
Follow the product manufacturers instructions on quantities to use.
Use less detergent if:
you are washing a small load
the laundry is lightly soiled
large amounts of foam form during washing.
Degrees of water hardness
Water hardness is classified in 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. If the water hardness degree is medium or high we suggest you to add
a water softener following always the manufacturers instructions. When the degree of
hardness is soft, readjust the quantity of the detergent.

Care and cleaning 17
Washing drum
Rust deposits in the drum may occur due to rusting foreign bodies in the washing or tap
water containing iron.
Do not clean the drum with acidic descaling agents, scouring agents containing chlorine or
iron or steel wool.
1. Remove any rust deposits on the drum with a cleaning agent for stainless steel.
2. Run a washing cycle without any washing to clean off any cleaning agent residues.
Programme: Short Cotton Programme at maximum temperature and add approx. 1/4
measuring cup of detergent.
Door seal
Check from time to time the door seal and objects
that could be trapped in the fold.
Drain pump
The pump should be inspected regularly and particularly if:
the appliance does not empty and/or spin;
the appliance makes an unusual noise during draining due to objects such as safety pins,
coins etc. blocking the pump;
a problem with water draining is detected (see chapter What to do if... for more de-
tails).
WARNING!
Before opening the pump door, switch the appliance off remove the mains plug from the
socket.
Proceed as follows:
1. Unplug the appliance.
Care and cleaning 19
When the appliance is in use and depending on the programme selected there can be hot
water in the pump.
Never remove the pump cover during a wash cycle, always wait until the appliance has fin-
ished the cycle, and is empty. When refitting the pump cover, ensure it is securely re-tight-
ened so as to stop leaks and young children being able to remove it.
Cleaning the water inlet filters
If the appliance doesn't fill, it takes a long time to fill with water, the starting button blinks
yellow or the display (if available) shows the relevant alarm (see chapter "What to do if..."
for more details), check if the water inlet filters are blocked .
To clean the water inlet filters:
1. Turn off the water tap.
2. Unscrew the hose from the tap.
3. Clean the filter in the hose with a stiff
brush.
4. Screw the hose back onto the tap. Make
sure the connection is tight.
WHAT TO DO IF
Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved
easily without calling out an engineer. Before contacting your local Service Centre, please
carry out the checks listed below.
During machine operation it is possible that the pilot light of button 5 blinks to indicate
that the machine is not working.

by a red sector in the window A. Should this oc-
cur, turn the water tap off and refer to your Serv-
ice Centre to replace the hose.
Water drainage
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:
1. Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plastic hose guide supplied with the ma-
chine.
In this case, make sure the end cannot come unhooked when the machine is emptying.
Electrical connection 31

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 prewashing in order to save detergent,
water and time (the environment is protected too!).
The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded.
With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can
then be washed at a lower temperature.
Measure out detergent according to the water hardness, the degree of soiling and the
quantity of laundry being washed.
