guide to the water tap or to the wall.

Make sure that the plastic

guide cannot move when the

appliance drains and the drain

hose end is not immersed in

the water. There may be a

return of dirty water into the

appliance.

3. If the end of the drain hose looks like

this (see the picture), you can push it

directly into the stand pipe.

4. To a stand pipe with vent hole - Insert

the drain hose directly into a drain pipe.

Refer to the illustration.

The end of the drain hose must

always be ventilated , i.e. the

inner diameter of the drain pipe

(min. 38 mm - min. 1.5") must

be larger than the external

diameter of the drain hose.

5. Without the plastic hose guide, to a sink

spigot- Put the drain hose in the spigot

and tighten it with a clamp. Refer to the

illustration.

Make sure that the drain hose makes a

loop to prevent particles going into the

appliance from the sink.

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.

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.

Do not use any detergent for prewash phase to rinse only with water.

HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING! Refer to Safety

chapters.

The laundry load

• Divide the laundry into: white, coloured,

synthetics, delicates and wool.

• Follow the washing instructions 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

couple of times.

• Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and

items with printed illustrations inside

out.

• Pre-treat tough stains.

• Wash heavy soil stains with a special

detergent.

• Be careful with 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,

shoelaces, ribbons, etc. ).

• A very small load can cause balance

problems with the spin phase leading to

excessive vibration. If this occurs:

a. interrupt the programme and open

the door (refer to "Daily Use"

chapter);

b. manually redistribute the load so

that the items are spaced evenly

around the tub;

c. press the Départ/Pause button.

The spin phase continues.

• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,

hooks and poppers. Tie up belts, cords,

shoelaces, ribbons and any other loose

elements.

• Empty pockets and unfold the items.

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 other treatments

• Only use detergents and other

treatments specially made for washing

machines:

– powder detergents for all types of

fabric, excluding delicate. Prefer

powder detergents containing

bleach for whites and laundry

sanitization

– liquid detergents, preferably for low

temperature wash programmes (60

°C max) for all types of fabric, or

special ones for woollens only.

• Do not mix different types of

detergents.

• To help the environment, do not use

more than the recommended quantity

of detergent.

• Follow the instructions that you find on

packaging of the detergents or other

treatments without exceeding the

indicated maximum level ( ).

• Use the recommended detergents for

the type and colour of the fabric, the

programme temperature and the level

of soil.

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 you pre-treat the stains or use a stain

remover, 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 find out the water hardness in your

area, contact your local water authority.

Use the correct quantity of water softener.

Follow 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 mild soap and

warm water only. Fully dry all the surfaces.

CAUTION! Do not use alcohol,

solvents or chemical products.

CAUTION! Do not clean the

metal surfaces with chlorine-

based detergent.

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 check for

limescale.

Regular detergents already contain water

softening agents, but we recommend to

run a cycle with an empty drum and a

descaling product occasionally.

Always follow the instructions

that you find on the packaging

of the product.

Maintenance wash

The repeated and prolonged use of low

temperature programmes can cause

detergent deposits, fluff residues, bacterial

growth inside the drum and the tub. This

could generate bad odours and mildew.

To eliminate these deposits and clean the

inner part of the appliance, run a

maintenance wash regularly (at least once

a month).

Refer to "Cleaning the drum"

paragraph.

Door seal with double lip trap

This appliance is designed with a self

cleaning draining system, allowing light

fluff fibers that fall off the clothes to be

drained out with the water, in such a way

that there is no need by the customer to

access this area for regular maintenance

and cleaning.
