1) When you set the Rapido option, we recommend that you decrease the quantity of the
laundry. It is possible to keep the full load but the washing results can be unsatisfactory.
Recommended load: cotton: 2,5 kg, synthetics and delicates: 1,5 kg.
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) This programme cannot be used for very delicate fabrics as silk or wool. Pour the deter‐
gent for the soak programme into the compartment marked . At the end of the soak (af‐
ter having emptied out the water) you can select the desired washing programme. First turn
the appliance off, then select the programme and start it.
4) The default spin speed is for cotton items. When you set the spin speed make sure that it
agrees with the laundry.
5) Standard programmes for the Energy Label consumption values. According to regu‐
lation 1061/2010, these programmes are respectively the «Standard 60°C cotton pro‐
gramme» and the «Standard 40°C cotton programme». They are the most efficient pro‐
grammes 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.

10. HINTS AND TIPS
10.1 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.
10.2 Stubborn stains
For some stains, water and detergent is
not sufficient.
ENGLISH 15

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.
10.3 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).
10.4 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
10.5 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.

11.2 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.
11.3 Maintenance wash
