Helpful hints and tips  
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.  
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, delicates, wool-  
lens.  
Removing stains  
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and de-  
tergent. 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.  
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.  
8
 
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay the gar-  
ment on a soft surface and dab the stain with the fingertips  
and a cotton cloth.  
• powder detergents for all types of fabric  
• powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C max) and  
woollens  
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).  
• liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature wash  
programmes (60°C max) for all types of fabric, or spe-  
cial for woollens only.  
The detergent and any additives must be placed in the ap-  
propriate 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 recommendations on  
quantities to use and do not exceed the «MAX» mark in  
the detergent dispenser drawer.  
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and fast  
coloureds only).  
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone1), 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.  
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.  
Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on quanti-  
ties to use.  
Use less detergent if:  
• you are washing a small load  
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric first  
with acetone1), then with acetic acid; treat any residual  
marks on white fabrics with bleach and then rinse thor-  
oughly.  
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated spirits  
or benzine, then rub with detergent paste.  
• the laundry is lightly soiled  
• large amounts of foam form during washing.  
Detergents and additives  
Good washing results also depend on the choice of deter-  
gent 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:  
Degrees of water hardness  
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 com-  
pany, or from your local authority. If the water hardness  
degree is medium or high we suggest you to add a water  
softener following always the manufacturer’s instructions.  
When the degree of hardness is soft, readjust the quantity  
of the detergent.

Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.  
• Load more laundry.  
The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the laundry is  
not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is redistributed by reverse rota-  
tion of the drum. This may happen several times before the unbalance disap-  
pears and normal spinning can resume. If, after 10 minutes, the laundry is still  
not evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will not spin. In this case, re-  
distribute the load manually and select the spin programme.  
Spinning starts late or the machine  
does not spin:  
• Redistribute the laundry.  
The load is too small.  
• Add more items, redistribute the load manually and then select the spinning  
programme.  
The machine is fitted with a type of motor which makes an unusual noise com-  
pared with other traditional motors. This new motor ensures a softer start and  
more even distribution of the laundry in the drum when spinning, as well as  
increased stability of the machine.  
The machine makes an unusual  
noise:  
Machines based on modern technology operate very economically using very  
little water without affecting performance.  
No water is visible in the drum:  
If you are unable to identify or solve the problem, contact  
our service centre. Before telephoning, make a note of the  
model, serial number and purchase date of your machine:  
the Service Centre will require this information.

1) The consumption information shown in this chart is indicative. It can vary depending on the quantity and the type of laundry, on the  
temperature of the water supply and on the ambient temperature.  
Standard programmes for the Energy Label consumption  
values  
The cotton 60 °C economy and cotton 40 °C economy are  
the standard cotton programmes for normally soiled cot-  
ton laundry. They are suitable to clean normally soiled  
cotton laundry and they are the most efficient programmes  
in terms of combined energy and water consumption for  
washing that type of cotton laundry.  
They agree with EN60456.

Warning! You must DISCONNECT the appliance  
from the electricity supply, before you can carry out  
any cleaning or maintenance work.  
External cleaning  
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and  
water only, and then dry thoroughly.  
Descaling  
The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good idea  
to periodically use a water softening powder in the ma-  
chine. Do this separately from any laundry washing, and

• the appliance does not empty and/or spin;  
• the appliance makes an unusual noise during draining  
due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking  
the pump;  
When the container is full of water, put the drainage  
duct back again and empty the container. Do steps 3  
and 4 again and again until no more water flows out  
from the drain pump.  
• a problem with water draining is detected (see chapter  
“What to do if...” for more details).

and the two large ones  
with the corresponding  
plastic plug caps supplied  
in the bag containing the  
instruction booklet.  
Connect the hose to a tap  
with a 3/4” thread. Always  
use the hose supplied with  
the appliance.  
Positioning  
Install the machine on a flat hard floor. Make sure that air  
circulation around the machine is not impeded by carpets,  
rugs etc. Check that the machine does not touch the wall  
or other kitchen units. Level the washing machine by rais-  
ing or lowering the feet. The feet may be tight to adjust as  
they incorporate a self locking nut, but the machine MUST  
be level and stable.  
Any necessary adjustment can be made with a spanner.  
Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and displace-  
ment of the machine during operation. Never place card-  
board, wood or similar materials under the machine to  
compensate for any unevenness in the floor.  
35°  
45°  
The other end of the inlet hose which connects to the  
appliance can be turned as showed in the picture.  
Do not place the inlet hose downwards. Angle the hose  
to the left or right depending on the position of your  
water tap. Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring  
nut. After positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten  
the ring nut again to prevent leaks.  
If necessary, check the  
setting with a spirit level.  
Caution! The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it  
is too short and you do not wish to move the tap,  
you will have to purchase a new, longer hose specially  
designed for this type of use.  
Rubber feet kit  
Available from your authorized dealer.  
The rubber feet are particularly recommended on floating,  
slippery and wooden floors.  
Water drainage  
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:  
Mount the rubber feet to prevent vibration, noises and dis-  
placement of the appliance during operation.  
Read carefully the instructions supplied with the kit.

Hooked over the edge of a  
sink using the plastic hose  
guide supplied with the  
machine.  
In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must be above  
the trap so that the bend is at least 60 cm above the  
ground.  
Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less than 60  
cm and not more than 90 cm. The end of the drain hose  
must always be ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the  
drain pipe must be larger than the outside diameter of  
the drain hose. The drain hose must not be kinked.  
In this case, make sure the end cannot come unhooked  
when the machine is emptying. This could be done by  
tying it to the tap with a piece of string or attaching it to  
the wall.  
Electrical connection  
Information on the electrical connection is given on the  
rating plate on the inner edge of the appliance door.  
Check that your domestic electrical installation can take  
the maximum load required, also taking into account any  
other appliances in use.  
Caution! The power supply cable must be easily  
accessible after installing the machine.  
Caution! Should the appliance power supply cable  
need to be replaced, this must be carried out by a  
Service Centre.  
Caution! Connect the machine to an earthed socket.  
Caution! The manufacturer does not accept any  
responsibility for damage or injury through failure  
to comply with the above safety precaution.

• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling  
can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a  
lower temperature.  
Ecological hints  
To save water, energy and to help protect the environment,  
we recommend that you follow these tips:  
• Measure out detergent according to the water hard-  
ness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of laundry  
being washed.  
• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without pre-  
washing in order to save detergent, water and time (the  
environment is protected too!).  
• The machine works more economically if it is fully loa-  
ded.
