be re-used). It is important to have WEEE
subjected to specific treatments, in order to
remove and dispose properly all pollutants, and
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:
!WEEE should not be treated as household
waste;
!WEEE 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.

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.
Before using a drying programme…
!SAVE energy and time by selecting a
high spin speed to reduce the water
content in laundry before using a drying
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.

To clean different types of fabrics and
various levels of dirt, the washing machine
has specific programs to meet every need
of washing (see table of programmes).
ActivEco 20°C
This innovative programme, allows you to wash
different fabrics and colours together, such as
cottons, synthetics and mixed fabrics at only
20°C and provides an excellent cleaning
performance. Consumption on this program is
about 40% of a conventional 40°C. cottons wash.
Baby 60°C
This program allows you to wash all baby
clothes getting a perfect clean and
sanitizing effect, setting the temperature at
60°C minimum. To optimize the result of the
sanitizing effect we recommend the use of
powder detergent.
Daily 59 Min.
This specially designed programme
maintains the high quality wash
performance whilst greatly reducing the
wash time. The programme is designed for
a reduced load (see table of programmes).
Rapid (14/30/44 Min.)
Washing cycle suggested for low loads and
slightly dirty. With this program it is
recommended to reduce the quantity of
detergent normally used, in order to avoid
unnecessary waste. Selecting the RAPID
program and acting on the button you can
choose one of three programs available.
Cottons
This program is suitable to clean normally
soiled cotton laundry and it is the most efficient
program in terms of combined energy and
water consumptions for washing cotton laundry.
Delicates
This program alternates among moments of
work during breaks and is particularly suitable
for washing delicate fabrics. The wash cycle
and rinses are carried out with a high level of
water to ensure the best performance.
Auto Clean
This program is suited to clean the drum of your
appliance. It is recommended to use this
program every 50 washing cycles, to ensure a
long service life and avoid bad odors. Make sure
to start the program exclusively without laundry in
the machine, using only powder detergent for
washing machine. When the washing cycle
finishes, open the door of the washing machine
to dry the drum.
Rinse
This program performs 3 rinses with an
intermediate spin (which can be reduced or
excluded by using the appropriate button) . It
is used for rinsing any type of fabric, for
example after a wash carried out by hand.
Drain & Spin
The program completes the drain and a
maximum spin. It is possible to delete or reduce
the spin with the SPIN SPEED button.
Mixed
The washing and rinsing are optimized in
the rhythms of rotation of the drum and to
the water levels. The gentle spin, ensures a
reduced formation of creases in the fabric.
Hand & Silk
This programme allows a delicate washing
cycle for garments specified as "Hand Wash
only" and laundry items made from Silk or
specified as "Wash as Silk" on the fabric label.
Wool
This program performs a wash cycle
dedicated to the wool fabrics that can be
washed in a washing machine, or the
articles to be washed by hand.
DRYING
The drum changes direction during the
drying cycle to prevent the laundry from
tangling and producing even more drying.
Cool air is used during the last 10/20
minutes of the drying cycle to minimize
creasing.
Programmes selection
WARNING:
Dispensers used for concentrated
powders and liquid detergents must be

7. DRYING CYCLE
!Drying guidance advice is general, but
practical experience of using the product
will help you to achieve the best drying
results.
!We recommend setting a lower drying
time than indicated, when first using the
appliance in order to establish the degree
of dryness required.
!We recommend not drying fabrics that
fray easily, such as rugs or garments with
a deep pile, in order to avoid air duct
clogging.
!We recommend that you sort the laundry
by the following methods:
- By drying care symbols, which are
displayed on the clothing labels
Suitable for tumble drying.
Tumble dry at high temperature.
Tumble dry at low temperature only.
DO NOT tumble dry.
- By size and thickness
Whenever the wash load is bigger than
the drying capacity, separate the clothes
according to thickness (e.g. towels from
thin underwear).
- By fabric type
Cottons/linen: towels, cotton jersey, bed
and table linen.
Synthetics: blouses, shirts, overalls, etc.
made of polyester or polyamide, as well
as for cotton/synthetic mixes.
!Only dry pre-spun laundry.
!The washer dryer can perform the
following types of drying:
-Low temperature drying programme
recommended for mixed fabrics
(synthetics/cotton) synthetic fabrics.
-High temperature drying programme
recommended for cotton, terry toweling,
linen, hemp fabrics, etc....
!Open the door.
!Fill with the laundry, not exceeding the
maximum drying load indicated in the
programme table. For large items (e.g.
sheets) or very absorbent items (e.g.
towels or jeans), it is a good idea to
reduce the load.
!Close the door.
If the fabric does not have a care label,
you should assume that it is not
suitable for drying.
During the drying phase the drum will
accelerate to a higher speed to
distribute the load and to optimize the
drying performance.
The correct way to dry
The appliance door is fitted with a
protective shield to prevent contact
with the glass door which can reach
high temperatures, during the drying
cycle.
It should not be necessary to remove
the shield from the machine during
the normal course of use.
