Washing hints
Sorting 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, delicates, woollens.
Temperatures
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.
Make sure that no metal objects are left in
the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins,
pins). 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.
Maximum loads
Recommended loads are indicated in the
programme charts.
General rules:
Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly
packed;
Synthetics: drum no more than half full;
Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more
than one third full.
Washing a maximum load makes the most
efficient use of water and energy.
For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load
size.
Laundry weights
The following weights are indicative:
90° or 95°
for normally soiled white cottons
and linen (e.g. tea cloths, towels,
tablecloths, sheets...)
50°/60°
for normally soiled, colour fast
garments (e.g. shirts, night
dresses, pyjamas....) in linen,
cotton or synthetic fibres and for
lightly soiled white cotton (e.g.
underwear).
30°-40°-
(Cold)
for delicate items (e.g. net
curtains), mixed laundry including

Removing stains
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just
water and detergent. It is therefore advisable 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 turpentine,
lay the garment on a soft surface and dab the
stain with the fingertips and a cotton 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 have already been
damaged and the fabric tends to tear.
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 (*), lay the garment on a soft cloth and
dab the stain.
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then
treat stains with methylated spirits. Remove
any residual marks from white fabrics 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 (*), 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.
(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk.
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
temperature wash programmes (60°C max)
for all types of fabric, or special for woollens
only.
The detergent and any additives must be
placed in the appropriate compartments of the
dispenser drawer before starting the wash
programme.
If using concentrated powder or liquid
detergents, a programme without prewash
must be selected.
The washing machine incorporates a
recirculation system which allows an optimal
use of the concentrated detergent.
Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer
compartment marked just before starting
the programme.
Any fabric softener or starching additives must
be poured into the compartment marked
before starting the wash programme.
Follow the product manufacturer’s
recommendations on quantities to use and do
not exceed the «MAX» mark in the
detergent dispenser drawer.
132973873.qxd 24/02/2010 9.32 Pagina 13

14
Quantity of detergent to be used
The type and quantity of detergent will depend
on the type of fabric, load size, degree of
soiling and hardness of the water used.
Water hardness is classified in so-called
«degrees» of hardness. Information on
hardness of the water in your area can be
obtained from the relevant water supply
company, or from your local authority.
Follow the product manufacturer's instructions
on quantities to use.

Before the first use
WARNING!

connections comply with the installation
instructions.
IMPORTANT!
Remove the polystyrene block and any
material from the drum.
IMPORTANT!
We recommend you to run run a cotton cycle
at 95°C, without any laundry in the machine, to
remove any manufacturing residue from the
drum and tub. Pour 1/2 a measure of detergent
into the dispenser drawer and start the
machine.
Child safety lock
This device permits you to leave the appliance

children might be injured by or cause damage
to the appliance.

IMPORTANT!
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
manufacturer's instructions. This will help to
prevent the formation of lime deposits.
Maintenance Wash
With the use of low temperature washes it is
possible to get a build up of residues inside 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 programme.
●Use a normal measure of detergent, must be
a powder with biological properties.
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with
soap and water only, and then dry thoroughly.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer
The washing powder and additive dispenser
drawer should be cleaned regularly.
To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive
compartment should be removed. 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.
Cleaning the drawer recess
Having removed the
drawer, use a small
brush to clean the
recess, ensuring that
all washing powder
residue is removed
from the upper and
lower part of the recess.
Replace the drawer and run the rinse
programme without any clothes in the drum.
Cleaning the pump
The pump should be inspected if
●the machine does not empty and/or spin
●the machine makes an unusual noise during
draining due to objects such as safety pins,
coins etc. blocking the pump.
●a problem with water draining is detected (see
chapter “What to do if...” for more details).
IMPORTANT!
Before opening the pump door, switch the
appliance off and remove the mains plug from
the socket.
Proceed as follows:
●Unplug the appliance.
●If necessary wait until the water has cooled
down.
●Open the pump door.
●Place a container
close to the pump to
collect any spillage.
●Pull out the
emergency emptying
hose, place it in the
container and remove
its cap.
●When no more water comes out, unscrew the
pump cover by turning it anti-clockwise and
remove the filter. Use pliers, if necessary.
