• Make sure that small pets and children
do not climb into the drum. To avoid this,
please check into the drum before using.
• Any objects such as coins, safety pins,
nails, screws, stones or any other hard,
sharp material can cause extensive dam-
age and must not be placed into the ma-
chine.
• Only use the advised quantities of fabric
softener and detergent. Damage to the
fabric can ensue if you over-fill. Refer to
the manufacturer’s recommendations of

moved before use. Serious damage can
occur to the product and to property if
2

this is not adhered to. See relevant sec-
tion in the user manual.
• After having installed the appliance,
check that it is not standing on the inlet
and drain hose and the worktop is not
pressing the electrical supply cable
against the wall.
• If the machine is situated on a carpeted

other than those for which it was de-
signed.
• Only wash and dry fabrics which are de-
signed to be machine washed or dried.
Follow the instructions on each garment
label
• Do not overload the appliance. See the
Washing Programme Table.
• Before washing, ensure that all pockets
are empty and buttons and zips are fas-
tened. Avoid washing frayed or torn arti-
cles and treat stains such as paint, ink,
rust, and grass before washing. Under-
wired bras must NOT be machine wash-
ed.
• Garments which have been in contact
with volatile petroleum products should
not be machine washed. If volatile clean-
ing fluids are used, care should be taken
to ensure that the fluid is removed from
the garment before placing in the ma-
chine.
• As some duvets and eiderdowns should
be washed/dried in large commercial ma-
chines because of their bulk, please
check with the manufacturer of the item
before washing in a domestic machine.
• The users should always check that they
have not left their gas lighters (disposable

cleaning fluid. These are of a volatile na-
ture and could cause an explosion. Only
tumble dry items which have been wash-
ed in water or require airing.
• Plastic detergent dispensers should not
remain in the drum during the drying cy-
cle, as the plastic used is not designed to
withstand the heat. If you wish to wash-
through-to-dry you should use the con-
ventional detergent dispenser drawer.
• Never pull the power supply cable to re-
move the plug from the socket; always
take hold of the plug itself.

Helpful hints and tips
Sorting out the laundry
Follow the wash code symbols on each
garment label and the manufacturer’s
washing instructions. Sort the laundry as
follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics, deli-
cates, woollens.
14

Before loading the laundry
Never wash whites and coloureds together.
Whites may lose their «whiteness» in the
wash.
New coloured items may run in the first
wash; they should therefore be washed
separately the first time.
Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners,
hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or long
tapes.
Remove persistent stains before washing.
Rub particularly soiled areas with a special
detergent or detergent paste.
Treat curtains with special care. Remove
hooks or tie them up in a bag or net.
Removing stains
Stubborn stains may not be removed by
just water and detergent. It is therefore ad-
visable to treat them prior to washing.
Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water.
For dried stains, soak overnight in water
with a special detergent then rub in the
soap and water.
Oil based paint: moisten with benzine
stain remover, lay the garment on a soft
cloth and dab the stain; treat several times.
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpen-
tine, lay the garment on a soft surface and
dab the stain with the fingertips and a cot-
ton cloth.
Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a
rust removing product used cold. Be careful
with rust stains which are not recent since
the cellulose structure will already have
been damaged and the fabric tends to hole.
Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well
(whites and fast coloureds only).
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach
(whites and fast coloureds only).
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with
acetone
1)
, lay the garment on a soft cloth
and dab the stain.
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above,
then treat stains with methylated spirits.
Treat any residual marks with bleach.
Red wine: soak in water and detergent,
rinse and treat with acetic or citric acid,
then rinse. Treat any residual marks with
bleach.
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten
the fabric first with acetone
1)
, then with
acetic acid; treat any residual marks on
white fabrics with bleach and then rinse
thoroughly.
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover,
methylated spirits or benzine, then rub with
detergent paste.
Detergents and additives
Good washing results also depend on the
choice of detergent and use of the correct
quantities to avoid waste and protect the
environment.
Although biodegradable, detergents contain
substances which, in large quantities, can
upset the delicate balance of nature.
The choice of detergent will depend on the
type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons,
etc.), the colour, washing temperature and
degree of soiling.
All commonly available washing machine
detergents may be used in this appliance:
• powder detergents for all types of fabric
• powder detergents for delicate fabrics
(60°C max) and woollens
• liquid detergents, preferably for low tem-
perature wash programmes (60°C max)
for all types of fabric, or special for wool-
lens only.
The detergent and any additives must be
placed in the appropriate compartments of
the dispenser drawer before starting the
wash programme.
If using liquid detergents, a programme
without prewash must be selected.
Your appliance incorporates a recirculation
system which allows an optimal use of the
concentrated detergent.
Follow the product manufacturer’s recom-
mendations on quantities to use and do
not exceed the «MAX» mark in the de-
tergent dispenser drawer.
Quantity of detergent to be used
The type and quantity of detergent will de-
pend on the type of fabric, load size, de-
gree of soiling and hardness of the water
used.
Follow the product manufacturers’ instruc-
tions on quantities to use.
Use less detergent if:
• you are washing a small load
• the laundry is lightly soiled
1) do not use acetone on artificial silk
15

• large amounts of foam form during wash-
ing.
Degrees of water hardness
Water hardness is classified in so-called
“degrees” of hardness. Information on hard-
ness of the water in your area can be ob-
tained from the relevant water supply com-
pany, or from your local authority. If the wa-
ter hardness degree is medium or high we
suggest you to add a water softener follow-
ing always the manufacturer’s instructions.
When the degree of hardness is soft, read-
just the quantity of the detergent.
Drying Hints
Preparing the drying cycle
As a dryer, the appliance works on the con-
densation principle.
Therefore, the water tap must be open
and the drain hose must drain water in-
to a sink or into the drain pipe, even
during the drying cycle.
Attention!
Before starting the drying programme, re-
duce the loads of washed laundry, in order
to obtain good performances.
Laundry not suitable for drying
• Particularly delicate items such as syn-
thetic curtains, woollen and silk, gar-
ments with metal inserts, nylon stock-
ings, bulky garments such as anoraks,
bed covers, quilts, sleeping bags and du-
vets must not be machine dried.
• Avoid drying dark clothes with light col-
oured fluffy items such as towels as
these can attract the fluff.
• Remove the laundry when the appliance
has finished drying.
• To avoid a static charge when drying is
completed, use either a fabric softener
when you are washing the laundry or a
fabric conditioner specifically for tumble
dryers.
• Garments padded with foam-rubber or
materials similar to foam-rubber must not
be machine dried; they represent a fire
hazard.
• Also, fabrics containing residue of setting
lotions or hair sprays, nail solvents or
similar solutions must not be machine
dried in order to avoid the formation of
harmful vapours.
The detergent and any additives must be
placed in the appropriate compartments of
the dispenser drawer before starting the
wash programme.
If using liquid detergents, a programme
without prewash must be selected.
Your appliance incorporates a re-circulation
system which allows an optimal use of the
concentrated detergent.
Follow the product manufacturer’s recom-
mendations on quantities to use and do
not exceed the «MAX» mark in the de-
tergent dispenser drawer.
Garment labels
For drying, follow the indications given on
the manufacturer’s labels:
•= May be tumble dried
•= Drying at high temperature
•= Drying at reduced temperature
•= Do not tumble dry.
Drying cycle duration
The drying time may vary depending on:
• speed of the final spin
• dryness degree required (iron dry, store
dry)
•typeoflaundry
• weight of the load size .
The average drying time for a timed drying
are indicated in the «Drying programmes»
chapter. The experience will help you to dry
your laundry in a more suitable way, ac-
cording to the different fabrics. Take note of
the duration drying time of the already per-
formed cycles.
Additional drying
If the laundry is still damp at the end of the
drying programme, select a short drying cy-
cle again.
Warning! Do not over dry the
laundry in order to avoid creasing
of fabrics or garment’s shrinking.
16

Care and cleaning
Warning! You must disconnect the
appliance from the electricity supply,
before you can carry out any cleaning
or maintenance work.
Descaling
The water we use normally contains lime. It
is a good idea to periodically use a water
softening powder in the machine. Do this
separately from any laundry washing, and
according to the softening powder manu-
facturer's instructions. This will help to pre-
vent the formation of lime deposits.
After each wash
Leave the door open for a while. This helps
to prevent mould and stagnant smells form-
ing inside the appliance. Keeping the door
open after a wash will also help to preserve
the door seal.
Maintenance wash
With the use of low temperature washes it
is possible to get a build up of residues in-
side the drum.
We recommend that a maintenance wash
be performed on a regular basis.
To run a maintenance wash:
• The drum should be empty of laundry.
• Select the hottest cotton wash pro-
gramme.
• Use a normal measure of detergent,
must be a powder with biological proper-
ties.
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance
with soap and water only, and then dry
thoroughly.
Important! Do not use methylated spirits,
solvents or similar products to clean the
cabinet.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer
The detergent dispenser drawer should be
cleaned regularly.
The washing powder and additive dispens-
er drawer should be cleaned regularly.
Remove the drawer by pressing the catch
downwards and by pulling it out.
Flush it out under a tap, to remove any
traces of accumulated powder.
To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive
compartment should be removed. Clean all
parts with water.
Clean the chamber of dispenser drawer
with a brush.
17

Washing drum
Rust deposits in the drum may occur due
to rusting foreign bodies in the washing or
tap water containing iron.
Important! Do not clean the drum with
acidic descaling agents, scouring agents
containing chlorine or iron or steel wool.
1. Remove any rust deposits on the drum
with a cleaning agent for stainless steel.
2. Run a washing cycle without any wash-
ing to clean off any cleaning agent resi-
dues.
Programme: Short Cotton Programme
at maximum temperature and add ap-
prox. 1/4 measuring cup of detergent.
Door seal
Check from time to time the door seal and
eliminate eventual possible objects that
could be trapped in the fold.
Drain pump

make sure that it is clean.
Clean the pump regularly and/or if:
• The appliance does not drain the water.
• The drum cannot turn.
• The appliance makes an unusual noise
because of the blockage of the drain
pump.
• A problem with water draining is detected
(see chapter “What to do if...” for more
details).
Warning!
1. Disconnect the mains plug from
the mains socket.
2. Do not remove the filter while the
appliance operates. Do not clean
the drain pump if the water in the
appliance is hot. The water must

2. Put a container below the recess of the
drain pump to collect the water that
flows out.
3. Press the two levers and pull forward
the drainage duct to let the water flow
out.
4. When the container is full of water, put
the drainage duct back again and emp-
ty the container. Do steps 3 and 4
again and again until no more water
flows out from the drain pump.
18

5. Pull back the drainage duct.
6. Unscrew the filter and remove it.
12
7. Remove fluff and objects from the
pump.
8. Make sure that the impeller of the
pump can turn. If this does not occur,
contact the service centre.
9. Clean the filter under the water tap and
put it back in the pump into the special
guides.
10. Make sure that you tighten correctly the
filter to prevent leakages.

11. Close the drain pump door.
Warning!
Never remove the pump cover during a
wash cycle, always wait until the appliance
has finished the cycle, and is empty. When
refitting the pump cover, ensure it is se-
curely re-tightened so as to stop leaks and
young children being able to remove it.
Cleaning the water inlet filters
If you notice that the machine is taking lon-
ger to fill, check that the filter in the water
inlet hose is not blocked.
1. Turn off the water tap.
2. Unscrew the water inlet hose.
3. Clean the filter in the hose using a hard
bristle brush.
4. Screw the hose back onto the tap.
5. Unscrew the hose from the machine.
