To reduce the creases of the laundry, this cycle regulates the water temperature and performs a soft
wash and spin phase. The appliance adds some rinses. This programme is not compatible with drying.
2)
During this cycle the drum rotates slowly to ensure a gentle washing. It can seem that the drum
doesn't rotate or doesn't rotate properly. Consider this as a normal functioning of the appliance.

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 «Stand-
ard 40°C cotton programme». 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 selected programme.

first times.
Button up pillowcases, close zippers,
hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.
Empty the pockets and unfold the
items.
Turn inside out multilayered fabrics,
wool and items with painted
illustrations.
Remove hard stains.
Wash with a special detergent heavy
soil stains.
Be careful with the curtains. Remove
the hooks or put the curtains in a
washing bag or pillowcase.
Do not wash in the appliance 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.
11.2 Stubborn stains
For some stains, water and detergent is
not sufficient.
We recommend that you remove 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.
11.3 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 has not the
detergent dispenser with the flap
device, add the liquid detergents with
a dosing ball (supplied by the
detergent's manufacturer).
11.4 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.
If necessary, use a stain remover when
you set a programme with a low
temperature.
To use the correct quantity of the
detergent, check the water hardness
of your domestic system
11.5 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.
ENGLISH
17
Use the correct quantity of the water
softener. Obey the instructions that you
find on the packaging of the product.
12. CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
12.1 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.
12.2 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 machine. Do this
separately from the laundry wash.
Always obey the instructions
that you find on the
packaging of the product.
12.3 Maintenance wash
With the low temperature programmes it
is possible that some detergent stays in
the drum. Make regularly a maintenance
wash. To do this:
Remove the laundry from the drum.
Set the cotton programme with the
highest temperature with a small
quantity of detergent.
12.4 Door seal
Regularly examine the seal and remove
all objects from the inner part.

12.6 Cleaning the drain filter
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 “Troubleshooting” for more
details).
WARNING!
Before unscrewing the pump cover, switch the appliance off and remove
the mains plug from the socket.
To clean the drain filter:
WARNING!
When the appliance is in use and depending on the programme selected
there can be hot water in the filter. Never remove the filter cover during a
wash cycle, always wait until the appliance has finished the cycle, and is
empty. When refitting the filter cover, ensure it is securely re-tightened so
as to stop leaks and young children being able to remove it.
1. Unplug the appliance.
2. If it is necessary, wait until the water has cooled down.
