The DELICATES programme is suitable for this type of fabric. 40 30 Woollens and particularly delicate items Fabrics such as wool, wool mix or silk marked with this symbol are particularly sensitive to machine washing. The WOOL programme is suitable for this type of fabric.
Preparing the wash cycle 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. To maintain the appearance of your clothes and household textiles and to make them last longer you should use different types of detergent for different washes, whether for whites, colours or delicates.
Preparing the wash cycle 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 your 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 tap must be open and the drain hose must drain water into a sink or into the drain pipe, even during the drying cycle. Load Sort of laundry max. load (dry weight) Linen and cottons 3 kg Easy cares 2 kg Warning: Loads of washed laundry exceeding these values must be divided before being dried, otherwise poor results will be obtained.
Preparing the drying cycle Drying symbols on garment labels Always look at the garment label to check whether garments can be machine dried. The following symbols refer to drying: Machine drying is usually possible Normal drying (normal temperature) Gentle drying (reduced temperature) Do not machine dry Duration of the drying cycle The drying time can vary according to • the final spin speed; • the required degree of drying (extra dry, cupboard dry or iron dry); • the type of laundry; • the size of load.
How to wash Max. load - cottons - easy cares and delicates - wool, silk and (handwash) 6 kg 3.kg 2.kg Load the laundry Open the door. Place the laundry in the drum, one item at a time.

How to wash EXTRA RINSE This appliance is designed for saving water. However, for people with a very delicate skin (allergic to detergents) it may be necessary to rinse the laundry using an extra quantity of water (extra rinse). The extra rinse is available only with the cotton, easy care and delicates. Selection of the RINSE + (extra rinse) option Press simultaneously SPIN SPEED and DRYING TIME buttons for about 3 seconds: the RINSE+ light in the programme progress display comes on.

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. 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.
Cleaning and maintenance To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the additive compartment can be removed. Detergent can also accumulate inside the drawer recess: clean it with an old toothbrush. Refit the drawer after cleaning. Door seal Regularly check to see, if there are deposits or foreign objects in the rubber seal behind the door and remove them.
Cleaning and maintenance Remove any objects from the pump impeller by rotating it. Put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose and place the latter P1097 back in its seat. Screw the pump fully in. Close the pump door. Water inlet filter If you notice that the machine is taking longer to fill, check that the filter in the water inlet hose is not blocked. Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the hose from the tap. Clean the filter in the hose with a stiff brush. Screw the hose back onto the tap.
Frost precautions If the machine is installed in a place where the temperature could drop below 0°C, proceed as follows: • Close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet hose from the tap. • Place the end of the emergency emptying hose and that of the inlet hose in a bowl placed on the floor and let water drain out. • Screw the water inlet hose back on and reposition the emergency emptying hose after having put the cap on again.
Something not working? Problem Possible cause The main electrical fuse or the fuse in the plug has blown. The door is not properly closed (E40). The machine does not work The plug is not connected. The START button has not been pressed. The DELAYED START option has been selected. Solution Replace the fuse. Close the door; the click of the lock should be heard. Insert the plug. Press the button. Check the selected delay on the display. The water tap is closed (E10). Open the water tap.
Something not working? Problem Possible cause Solution Too much detergent has been used. Measure detergent according to the manufacturer’s instructions. An unsuitable detergent has been used that creates too much foam. Use a suitable washing machine detergent. One of the connectors on the water inlet hose is There is water on the floor leaking. Check that the hose is firmly screwed on at both ends. The drain pump has not been properly screwed on after cleaning. Fully screw the pump into place.
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, at a lower speed, if the laundry is not evenly distributed.
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.
