Detergents and additives Which detergent?.... To ensure you obtain the best wash results from your appliance, it is important to use the right detergent in your everyday wash, and only detergents recommended for use in automatic machines.

Detergents and additives And in which form? Not only are there different types of detergent, but they are also available in different forms. Whether you chose a powder or liquid in traditional or compact form is to own personal choice. TRADITIONAL POWDERS Pour the powder directly into the dispenser drawer. Do not sprinkle powder onto clothes in the machine drum.
Preparing the drying cycle As a dryer, the machine works on the condensation principle. Therefore, the water taps must be open and the drain hose must drain water into a sink or into the drain pipe, even during the drying cycle.

Cleaning and maintenance After each wash At the end of the wash programme, pull the dispenser drawer out a little to let it dry. Leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate. If the machine is not used for a prolonged period: Close the water tap and unplug the appliance. Periodical cleaning Exterior Clean the outside of the cabinet with soap and water only. Rinse with clean water and dry. Important: do not use methylated spirits, solvents or similar products to clean the cabinet.
Cleaning and maintenance Drain filter The drain filter collects threads and small objects inadvertently left in the laundry. Check regularly that the filter is clean. Open the filter door. Place a container under the filter and unscrew it; some water will come out of the filter. Pull out the filter. Clean the filter under a running tap, then refit it, screwing it fully in.
Cleaning and maintenance Emergency emptying out If the water is not discharged (pump is blocked, filter or drain hose are clogged), proceed as follows to empty out the machine: • pull out the plug from the power socket; • close the water taps; • if necessary, wait until the water has cooled; • place a bowl on the floor; • put the drain hose end into the bowl and let the water out.
Something not working? If, during the spin cycle, the machine makes an unusual whistling noise, different from the noise made by traditional washing machines, this is due to a new type of motor. If water is not visible in the drum, this is due to the modern technology of new washing machines that use less water than traditional machines. Troubleshooting If a problem arises, you can try to solve it yourself following the instructions below.
Something not working? Problem The machine does not fill The machine fills then empties immediately Possible cause Solution The water taps are closed. Open the water taps. The water inlet hoses are squashed or kinked. Check the whole length of the hoses and remove the kink. The small filters of the water Clean the filters. inlet hoses are clogged. The door is not properly closed. Close the door. The end of the drain hose is too low. Place the hose at the right height (see Installation section).
Something not working? Problem The machine vibrates or is noisy The door will not open Possible cause Solution The transit bolts have not been removed. Check that the machine has been unpacked as described in the Installation section. The feet have not been adjusted. Carefully level the machine. There is little laundry in the drum. Correct operation of the machine is not affected. The programme is still running. Wait until the end of the programme before opening the door.
Something not working? Problem Possible cause Solution The unbalance detection device that prevents excessive vibration during spinning has cut in. If the laundry is not evenly distributed inside the drum at the beginning of the spin cycle, the machine detects this and tries to redistribute it more evenly by means of a few drum rotations. Only when the laundry is more evenly distributed will the spin cycle be performed.
Something not working? Unsatisfactory washing results If the laundry looks grey and lime scale is found in the drum • Too little detergent has been used. • An unsuitable detergent has been used. • Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing. • The programme/temperature has not been correctly selected. If grey stains remain on the laundry • Laundry stained with ointments, grease or oil has been washed with an insufficient amount of detergent.
