1)

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.

3)

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.

11. HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

11.1 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 together white and

coloured items.

• 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 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.

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.
