3. PRACTICAL TIPS
WARNING: when sorting laundry, make
sure:
- have eliminated metallic objects such as
barrettes, pins, coins, from laundry;
- to have buttoned pillow cases, closed
zips, tied loose belts and long robe
ribbons;
- to have removed rollers from curtains;
- to have carefully read clothing washing
labels;
- to have removed any persistent stains
using specific detergents.
!When washing rugs, bedcovers or other
heavy clothing, we recommend you avoid
centrifuging.
!To wash wool, make sure the item can be
machine washed and marked by the
“Pure virgin wool” symbol with the “Does
not mat” or “Machine washable” label.
A guide environmentally friendly and
economic use of your appliance.
Maximise The Load Size
!Achieve the best use of energy, water,
detergent and time by using the
recommended maximum load size.
Save up to 50% energy by washing a full
load instead of 2 half loads.
Do you need to pre-wash?
!For heavily soiled laundry only!
SAVE detergent, time, water and
between 5 to 15% energy consumption
by NOT selecting Prewash for slight to
normally soiled laundry.
Is a hot wash required?
!Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak
dried in stains in water before washing to
reduce the necessity of a hot wash
programme.
Save up to 50% energy by using a 60°C
wash programme.
Following is a quick guide with tips and
recommendations on detergent use at the
various temperatures. In any case, always
read the instructions on the detergent for
correct use and doses.
Load tips
Helpful suggestions for the user
When washing heavily soiled whites,
we recommend using cotton
programs of 60°C or above and a
normal washing powder (heavy duty)
that contains bleaching agents that at
medium/high temperatures provide
excellent results.
For washes between 40°C and 60°C
the type of detergent used needs to be
appropriate for the type of fabric and
level of soiling.
Normal powders are suitable for “white”
or colour fast fabrics with high soiling,
while liquid detergents or “colour
protecting” powders are suitable for
coloured fabrics with light levels of
soiling.
For washing at temperatures below
40°C we recommend the use of liquid
detergents or detergents specifically
labeled as suitable for low temperature
washing.
For washing wool or silk, only use
detergents specifically formulated for
these fabrics.

4. MAINTENANCE AND
CLEANING
To clean the washing machine exterior, use
a damp cloth, avoiding abrasives, alcohol
and/or solvents. The washing machine does
not require any special care for ordinary
cleaning: clean drawer compartments and
the filter; some tips on how to move the
machine or on long periods of disuse are
provided below.
!We recommend you clean the drawer to
avoid accumulating detergent and
additive residue.
!To do this, extract the drawer using slight
force, clean it with running water and
reinsert it in its housing.
!The washing machine comes with a
special filter able to trap large residue,
such as buttons or coins, which could
clog the drain.
!Only available on certain models: pull out
the corrugated hose, remove the stopper
and drain the water into a container.
!Before unscrewing the filter, we
recommend you place an absorbent cloth
under it to keep the floor dry.
!Turn the filter counter-clockwise to the
limit stop in the vertical position.
!Remove and clean the filter; when
finished, replace it turning it clockwise.
!Repeat the previous steps in reverse
order to reassemble all parts.
!Should the washing machine be stored in
an unheated room for a long period of
time, drain all water from tubes.
!Unplug the washing machine.
!Detach the tube from the strap and lower
it, fully draining water into a bowl.
!Secure the drain tube with the strap when
finished.

maximum number of extra rinses is
related to the programme selected.
!This function has been studied for the
people with delicate and sensitive skin,
for which also a least residue of detergent
can cause irritations or allergies.
!It advises to also use this function for the
children items and in case of washings of
very dirty items, for which it is due to use
a lot of detergent, or in the washing of
toweling items whose fibres mostly have
the tendency to hold the detergent.
You can choose between three different
options:
- PREWASHING
!This option allows you to make a prewash
and it is particularly useful for heavily
soiled loads (can be used only on some
programmes as shown in the table of
programmes).
!We recommend you use only 20% of the
recommended quantities shown on the
detergent pack.
- HYGIENE
!With this option it is possible to hygienize
the clothes, the washing programme
reach a temperature of 60°C.
- NIGHT CYCLE
!This option reduces the intermediate spin
speed to 400 rpm, where applicable,
increase the water level during rinsing and
keep the laundry immersed in water after the
final rinse, in order to spread the fibre
sevenly.
!During the phase in which the water is
held in the tub, the relevant indicator light
blink to show that the machine is at a
standstill.
!Deselect the option to end the cycle with a
spin dry (which may be reduced or cancelled
using the appropriate button) and emptying
phase.
!Thanks to electronic control, the water
in the intermediate phases is emptied
silently, making this option very useful for
washing at night.
This function minimizes creases as much
as possible.
It can be used on "mixed" "delicate" and "wool"
programmes, it eliminates the intermediate
spins. On the mixed programme the
option reduces the duration of the last

The use of ecological detergents without
phosphates may cause the following effects:
- cloudier rinse drain water: This effect is
tied to the suspended zeolites which do
not have negative effects on rinse
efficiency.
- white powder (zeolites) on laundry at
the end of the wash: this is normal, the
powder is not absorbed by fabric and
does not change its colour.
- foam in the water at last rinse: this
does not necessary indicate poor rinsing.
- abundant foam: This is often due to the
anionic surfactants found in the
detergents which are hard to eliminate
from laundry.
In this case, do not re-rinse to eliminate
these effects: it will not help at all.

malfunction, immediately contact the
