On/Off
To switch the appliance on or off and for cancelling
the programme which is running.
1)
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.
2)
Press Extra Rinse button to add rinses. With a low spin speed the appliance performs delicate rinses. and a
short spin.
3)
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.
4)
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.
17
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
Set a programme without the prewash
phase to wash laundry with normal soil.
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.

compartment to aid cleaning.

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:
19
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
necessary, use pliers. Always keep a
rag nearby to dry up any water spillage
when removing the filter.
6. Clean the filter under a tap, to remove
any traces of fluff.
7. Remove foreign bodies and fluff from
the filter impeller.
Check carefully whether the filter
impeller rotates (it rotates jerkily). If it
doesn’t rotate, please contact the
Service.
8. Refit the filter by inserting it correctly
into the special guides.
Screw firmly the filter.
9. Close the pump door.
