White cotton items. This programme removes micro-

organisms thanks to a washing phase with the tem‐

perature maintained above 60°C for several minutes.

This helps remove germs, bacteria, micro-organ‐

ism and particles. An additional rinsing phase en‐

sures a proper removal of detergent residues and pol‐

lens/allergenic items. In this way the wash is more ef‐

fective.

On/Off

To switch the appliance on or off and for cancelling

the programme which is running.

Standard programmes for the Energy Label consumption values. According to regulation 1061/2010,

these programmes are respectively the «Standard 60°C cotton programme» and the «Standard 40°C cotton pro‐

gramme». They are the most efficient programmes in terms of combined energy and water consumption for

washing normally soiled cotton laundry.

The water temperature of the washing phase may differ from the temperature declared for the se‐

lected programme.

Press Extra Rinse button to add rinses. With a low spin speed the appliance performs delicate rinses. and a

short spin.

During this cycle the drum rotates slowly to ensure a gentle wash. It can seem that the drum doesn't rotate or

doesn't rotate properly, but this is normal for this programme.

To reduce creasing, this cycle regulates the water temperature and performs a soft wash and spin phase. The

appliance adds some rinses.

HINTS AND TIPS

The laundry load

• Divide the laundry in: white, coloured,

synthetics, delicates and wool.

• Obey the washing instructions that are

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

times.

• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,

hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.

• Empty the pockets and unfold the

items.

• Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and

items with painted illustrations inside

out.

• Remove hard stains with a special

detergent.

• Wash and pre-treat heavy soil stains

before putting items in drum

• Be careful with the curtains. Remove

the hooks and put the curtains in a

washing bag or pillowcase.

• Do not wash laundry without hems or

with cuts. Use a washing bag to wash

small and/or delicate items (e.g.

underwired bras, belts, tights, etc. ).

• A very small load can cause balance

problems with the spin phase. If this

occurs, adjust manually the items in the

tub and start the spin phase again.

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.

Detergents and additives

• Only use detergents and additives

specially made for washing machines:

– powder detergents for all types of

fabric,

– powder detergents for delicate

fabrics (40 °C max) and woollens,

– liquid detergents, preferably for low

temperature wash programmes (60

°C max) for all types of fabric, or

special for woollens only.

• Do not mix different types of

detergents.

• To help the environment, do not use

more than the correct quantity of

detergent.

• Obey the instructions that you find on

the on packaging of these products.

• Use the correct products for the type

and colour of the fabric, the programme

temperature and the level of soil.

• If your appliance does not have the

detergent dispenser with the flap

device, add the liquid detergents with a

dosing ball (supplied by the detergent's

manufacturer).

Ecological hints

• Always start a washing programme

with the maximum load of laundry

allowed.

• If necessary, use a stain remover when

you set a programme with a low

temperature.

• To use the correct quantity of

detergent, check the water hardness of

your domestic system. Refer to "Water

hardness".

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 know the water hardness in your area,

contact your local water authority.

Use the correct quantity of the water

softener. Obey the instructions that you

find on the packaging of the product.

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING! Refer to Safety

chapters.

External cleaning

Clean the appliance with soap and warm

water only. Fully dry all the surfaces.

CAUTION! Do not use alcohol,

solvents or chemical products.

Descaling

If the water hardness in your area is high

or moderate, we recommend that you use

a water descaling product for washing

machines.

Regularly examine the drum to prevent

limescale and rust particles.

To remove rust particles use only special

products for washing machines. Do this

separately from the laundry wash.

Always obey the instructions

that you find on the packaging

of the product.

Maintenance wash

With the low temperature programmes it is

possible that some detergent stays in the

drum. Perform a maintenance wash

regularly. To do this:

• Remove all laundry from the drum.

• Select the cotton programme with the

highest temperature with a small

quantity of detergent.

Door seal

Regularly examine the seal and remove

all objects from the inner part.

Cleaning the detergent

dispenser

Clean regularly the washing powder and

additive dispenser drawer.

To clean the detergent drawer it is

necessary to remove it from its site.

1. Open the drawer.

2. Press the catch downwards as

described in the graphic and pull it out.

3. Remove the top part of the additive

compartment to aid cleaning.

Flush it out under a tap, to remove any

traces of accumulated powder.

4. Make sure that all washing powder

residue is removed from the upper and

lower part of the recess.

Use a small brush to clean the recess.

5. Close the drawer and run the rinse

programme without any clothes in the

drum.

Cleaning the drain filter

WARNING! Before opening the

filter door, switch the appliance

off and remove the mains plug

from the socket.

The filter 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

“Troubleshooting” for more details).

WARNING! Do not clean the

drain filter if the water in the

appliance is hot.

Proceed as follows:

1. Unplug the appliance.

2. If it is necessary, wait until the water

has cooled down.

3. Open the filter door.

4. Place a container close to the filter.

5. Unscrew carefully the drain filter to

drain out the water. When no more

water comes out, remove the filter. If
