recover and recycle all materials. Individuals can
play an important role in ensuring that WEEE
does not become an environmental issue; it is
essential to follow some basic rules:
lWEEE should not be treated as household
waste;
lWEEE should be handed over to the relevant
collection points managed by the municipality or
by registered companies. In many countries, for
large WEEE, home collection could be present.
In many countries, when you buy a new
appliance, the old one may be returned to the
retailer who has to collect it free of charge on a
one-to-one basis, as long as the equipment is of
equivalent type and has the same functions as
the supplied equipment.

lAfter installation, the appliance
must be positioned so that the
plug is accessible.
lThe appliance must not be
installed behind a lockable
door, a sliding door or a door
with a hinge on the opposite
side to that of the washer
dryer, in such way that a full
opening of the washer dryer
door is restricted.
lThe maximum load capacity of
dry clothes depends on the
model used (see control panel).
lThe appliance is not to be used
if industrial chemicals have
been used for cleaning.
lDo not dry unwashed items in
the washer dryer.
lItems that have been soiled with
substances such as cooking oil,
acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene,
spot removers, turpentine, waxes
and wax removers should be
washed in hot water with an extra
amount of detergent before being
dried in the washer dryer.

specified by the fabric softener
instructions.
lOil-affected items can ignite
spontaneously, especially when
exposed to heat sources such
as a washer dryer. The items
become warm, causing an
oxidation reaction in the oil,
Oxidation creates heat. If the
heat cannot escape, items can
become hot enough to catch
fire. Piling, stacking or storing
oil-effected items can prevent
heat from escaping and so
create a fire hazard.
lIf it is unavoidable that fabrics
contain vegetable or cooking
oil or have been contaminated
by hair care products be
placed in a washer dryer they
should first be washed in hot
water with extra detergent -
this will reduce, but not
eliminate, the hazard.

4. PRACTICAL HINTS
When sorting laundry, make sure:
- have eliminated metallic objects such as
hair clips, pins, coins, from laundry;
- to have buttoned pillow cases, closed
zips, tied loose belts and long robe
ribbons;
- to have removed rollers, hooks or clips
from curtains;
- to have carefully read clothing washing
labels;
- to have removed any persistent stains
using specific detergents.
lWhen washing rugs, bedcovers or other
heavy clothing, we recommend you avoid
the spinning cycle.
lTo wash wool, make sure the item can be
machine washed. Check the fabric label.
lLeave the appliance’s door slightly open
between washes, to prevent possible bad
smells developing inside the machine.
Tips on how to save money and not
damage the environment when using your
appliance.
lLoad the machine to the highest capacity
shown in the programme table for each
programme - this will allow you to SAVE
energy and water.
lNoise and residual laundry moisture are
affected by spin speed: a faster spin is
associated with greater noise and lower
residual moisture in the laundry.
lThe most efficient programmes in terms
of combined use of water and energy are
usually the longer-lasting ones with lower
temperature.
Maximise the load size
lAchieve 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?
lFor 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?
lPretreat stains with stain remover or soak
dried in stains in water before washing to
reduce the necessity of a hot wash
programme. Save energy by using a low
temperature wash programme.
Before using a drying programme
(WASHER-DRYERS)
lSAVE energy and time by selecting a
high spin speed to reduce the water
content in laundry before using a drying
programme.
Below is a short guide with tips and advice
on the use of detergent.
lOnly use detergents suitable for machine
washing.
lSelect your detergent according to the
type of fabric (cotton, delicates,
synthetics, wool, silk, etc.), the colour, the
type and level of soiling and the
programmed washing temperature.
lTo use the right amount of detergent,
softener or any other additives, carefully
follow the manufacturer’s instructions
every time: correctly using the
appliance with the right dose allows
you to avoid waste and to reduce the
environmental impact.

lToo much detergent leads to excessive
foam, which prevents the cycle being
carried out correctly. It could also affect
the quality of the washing and rinsing.
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.
To remove the zeolites, select a rinse
programme. In the future consider using
slightly less detergent.
- foam in the water at last rinse: this does
not necessary indicate poor rinsing.
Consider using less detergent in future
washes.
- 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.
We suggest conducting a maintenance
wash using a proprietary cleaner.
If the problem persists or if you suspect a
malfunction, immediately contact an
Authorised Customer Service Centre.
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.

TEMPERATURE SELECTION
button
SPIN SPEED button
To prevent damage to the fabrics, it is
not possible to increase the speed
over the maximum allowed for the
programme.
An over dosing of detergent can
cause excessive foaming. If the
appliance detects the presence of
excessive foam, it may exclude the
spinning phase or extend the duration
of the program and increase water
consumption.
The machine is fitted with a special
electronic device, which prevents the
spin cycle should the load be
unbalanced. This reduces the noise
and vibration in the machine and so
prolongs the life of your machine.

This button allows you to choose between
two different options, depending on the
selected programme.
- RAPID
The button becomes active when
you select the RAPID CARE (14'/30'/44')
programme on the knob and allows you to
select one of three durations indicated.
- STAIN LEVEL
lOnce the programme has been selected
the wash time set for that programme will
be automatically shown.
lThis option allows you to choose between
3 levels of wash intensity modifying the
length of the programme, depending
on how much the fabrics are soiled (can
only be used on some programmes as
shown in the table of programmes).
This button allows you to choose between
three different options:
- PREWASH
lThis 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).
lWe recommend you use only 20% of the
recommended quantities shown on the
detergent pack.
- EXTRA RINSE
lThis option allows you to add one rinse at
the end of the washing cycle and is useful
for people with delicate and sensitive
skin, for which a small amount of
detergent residue can cause irritations or
allergies.
lIt is advisable to also use this function for
the children clothes and for the washing
of heavily soiled items, which requires a
lot of detergent to be used, or for the
washing of toweling items whose fibres
