more of the following features:
HOT&COLD (fig. 4):
water mains connection settings with ho
t
and cold water for higher energy savings.
Connect the grey tube to the cold wate
r
tap and the red one to the hot water
tap. The machine can be connected to
the cold water tap only: in this case, some
programs may start afew minutes later.

3. 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.
When washing rugs, bedcovers or other
heavy clothing, we recommend you avoid
the spinning cycle.
To wash wool, make sure the item can be
machine washed. Check the fabric 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 needto 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 necessityof ahotwash
programme. Save energy by using alow
temperature wash programme.
SAVE energy and time by selecting a
highspin speed to reduce thewater
content in laundry.
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
or above and a
normal washing powder (heavy duty)
that contains bleaching agents that at
medium/high temperatures provide
excellent results.
the type of detergent used needs to be
appropriate for the type of fabric and
level of soiling.
Normal powders ar
or colour fast fabrics with high soiling,
coloured fabrics with light levels of
soiling.
For washing at temperatures below
we recommend the use of liquid
detergents or detergents specifically
labeled as suitable for low temperature
washing.
For washing woolor silk, only use
detergents specifically formulated for
these fabrics.

4. CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
To clean the washing machine exterior, use
a damp cloth, avoiding abrasives, alcohol
and/or solvents. To maintain a good wash
performance we recommend that the soap
drawer and pump filters are regularly
cleaned. A monthly service wash, using a
proprietary cleaner is also recommended.
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 inits housing.
Ensure the siphon cap is correctly
refitted.
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.
Ensure all the water has been emptied
from the drum.
Before unscrewing the filter, we
recommend you place an absorbent cloth
under it to keep the floor dry. A small
amount of water will come out of the filter
as you remove it - this is normal.
Turn the filter counter-clockwise to the
limit stop.
Remove and clean the filter; when
finished, replace it turning it clockwise.
The filter handle will be locked when it is
not possible to turn any further and the
handle is horizontal. Smearing a small
amount of liquid soap on the filter seal will
help refitting.
Repeat the previous steps in reverse
orderto 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 drainage
system and clip on the rear of the
machine and lower it, fully draining water
into a bowl.
Secure the drain tube with the drainage
system and clip on the rear of the
machine when finished.
Keep the door glass and gasket clean.

Suggestions for mo v es or
p
rolonged disuse
The manufacturers warranty only
covers faults within the product of a
mechanical or electrical nature.
Faults caused by handling,
installation or miss use are not
covered and may incur a charge for
any repair visit to resolve.

for people with delicate and sensitive
skin, for which a small amount of
detergent residue can cause irritations or
allergies.
It is advisable to also use this function for

of heavily soiled items, which requires a
lot of detergent to be used, or for the
washing of toweling items whose fibres
mostly have the tendency to hold the
detergent.

button until you reach the spin speed you
would like to set.
It is possible to modify the spin speed
without pausing the machine.
This option reduces the intermediate spin
speed to 400 rpm, where applicable,
increase the water level during rinsing
and keep the laundry immersed in water
after the final rinse, in order to spread the
fiber perfectly.
During the phase in which the water is
held in the tub, the relevant indicator light

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.

Make sure the product is plugged into a working supply socket.
Make sure power is on.
Make sure the wall socket is working, testing it with another
appliance such as a lamp.
The door may not be correctly closed: open and close it again.
Check whetherthe required program was correctly selected and the
start button pressed.

does not spin
The machine is fitted with a detection system that protects the load
and product from damage if the load is not balanced before spinning.
This may result in:-
The machine attempts to balance the load, increasing the time of
spin.
Reduction of the speed of spin to decrease vibrations and noise.
The spin cycle aborting to protect the machine and load.
If this is experienced remove the load de-tangle it, reload it and
restart the spin program.
This could be due tothe fact that water has not been completely
drained: wait a few minutes. If the problem persists, see Error 3
section.
Some models include a "no spin" function: make sure it is not
selected.
Check which options are selected and their effect on the spin cycle.
Excessive detergent can impede the spin cycle, ensure the correct
