Thank you for your con dence in purchasing our
washing machine, and congratulations on the
excellent choice.
Your new washing machine meets the requirements
of modern treatment of laundry. It is rational in the
consumption of energy, water and washing agents.
Our appliances are friendly to the environment.
Some of the materials may be recycled, others
deposited or decomposed. To avoid pollution
on the environment, once your appliance is no
longer useful, take it to your local authorised waste
appliance dealer.

•
Be sure to remove transport brackets prior
to  rst use of the appliance. Attempted
operation of the blocked machine may result in
irreparable damage which is not covered by the
manufacturer’s warranty!
•
When connecting your washing machine to water
supply, be sure to use brand new water inlet hose
and appropriate sealing gaskets (attached).
•
Do not locate the machine in a room with
temperature below 0°C. Parts of the machine may
be damaged if frozen.
•
Install the washing machine in a perfectly
horizontal position, on solid  at concrete  oor.
•
Follow the instructions for correct installation and
water and mains connections.
•
Never immerse the end of the drain hose into the
draining water.
•
Prior to starting the washing cycle lock the door
by pressing them at the designated spot.
•
Door may not be opened during the washing
cycle.
•
Use only detergents and softeners for
machine wash. Manufacturer may not assume
responsibility for any damage and eventual
discoloring of gaskets and plastic components as
a consequence of incorrect use of bleach and/or
colouring agents.
•
For removal of lime residues use such agents
with added anti-corrosion agents. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions. Finish the lime
removal by multiple rinsing to remove completely
eventual acid residues.
•
Never use detergents containing solvents, as
there is a danger of creating toxic gasses which
may damage the machine and result in ignition or
explosion.
•
Upon completion of washing operation close the
water tap.

•
Push the START button (F). Sound signal
con rms the start, and the LED indicating
particular washing stages stops  ashing. The
machine starts operating after a few seconds. If
the door is not properly closed after starting the

As each washing stage is completed the relevant
washing stage indicator LED goes off and the
subsequent one goes on.
•
In case you would like to alter the washing
program after the initiated washing operation,
turn the program selector for one second to the
position “0”, followed by the selection of a new
program. Switching the machine off deletes any
previously selected additional functions (i.e. Rinse
hold), so they have to be reactivated.
Upon switching OFF, all additional pre-
selected functions are deleted; therefore
they must be switched-ON again.
If a power failure occurs during the
washing program, when the power is
restored the machine will resume the
execution of a program where it had been
interrupted.

Special functions

164468
•
Before washing sort out the laundry according
to the type, degree of dirtiness and colour
resistance.
•
Prior to selecting the washing program consult
the laundry tab of the germent with information on
washing of the garment (
see Maintenance Chart
on Page 29).
•
Wash separately new coloured textile products
when washing for the  rst time.
•
Wash heavily soiled laundry in small quantities
and add more detergent.
•
Treat stubborn stains with special stain remover. It
will save energy.
•
With lightly stained laundry select a washing
program without a pre-wash. Use a short program
and select lower washing temperature. This way
you can save up to 50% of energy.
•
Avoid washing too little quantities of laundry
because of energy saving and for better
performances of the appliance.
•
The largest allowed quantity of dry laundry is
indicated in
the Program chart
.
•
Before washing empty pockets, close zips
fasteners, and remove any metal fasteners or
badges that might clog the drain or damage the
laundry or drum interior.
•
Loosen stacked laundry prior inserting it into the
drum.
•
Use only detergents for front load machine wash.
•
Add powder or liquid detergents according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
•
In case of hard water it is recommended to use
water softeners.
19
Tips for washing and energy saving

164468
•
If you do not select a program which includes the
pre-wash feature, you may add washing detergent
directly into the drum.
•
If you use thick liquid softener it is recommended
to dilute it with water, to prevent clogging of
dispenser compartment ducts.
•
Washing machine is equipped with the dispenser
partition gate, so you may pour liquid detergent
also into the central compartment. If you use
powder detergent the gate is lifted up, and in case
of liquid detergent it is slid down.
•
Liquid detergents are intended for main wash
only, without pre-wash.
•
Insert particularly delicate linen (stockings,
delicate underwear, etc.) into a special laundry
bag.
•
High spin RPM leaves less moisture in the
laundry which dries out much quicker in a tumble
dryer, thereby saving energy.
Do not put large clumps of detergent into
the soap dispenser as the tube in the
washing machine may clog.
