Helpful hints and tips 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 already have been damaged and the fabric tends to hole. Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whites and fast coloureds only).
Care and cleaning 21 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 company, 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.
Care and cleaning 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Remove the conditioner insert from the middle compartment. Clean all parts with water. Put the conditioner insert in as far as it will go, so that it is firmly in place. Clean all parts of the washing machine, especially the nozzles in the top of the washing-in chamber, with a brush. Insert the detergent dispenser drawer in the guide rails and push it in.

If necessary wait until the water has cooled down. 3. Open the pump door. 4. Pull flap forward to remove. 5.
Care and cleaning 8. Remove foreign bodies and fluff from the filter seat and from the pump impeller. 9. Check carefully whether the pump impeller rotates (it rotates jerkily). If it doesn’t rotate, please contact your Service Centre. 10. Put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose and place the latter back in its seat. 11. Replace the filter into the pump by inserting it correctly into the special guides. Screw the pump cover firmly by turning it clockwise. 12.
Care and cleaning 5. 6. 7. 8. 25 Unscrew the hose from the machine. Keep a towel nearby because some water may flow. Clean the filter in the valve with a stiff brush or with the piece of cloth. Screw the hose back to the machine and make sure the connection is tight. Turn on the water tap. Frost precautions If the machine is installed in a place where the temperature could drop below 0°C, proceed as follows: 1. close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet hose from the tap; 2.
What to do if… 5. 6. 7. 8. place a bowl on the floor and place the end of the emergency emptying hose into the bowl. Remove its cap. The water should drain by gravity into the bowl. When the bowl is full, put the cap back on the hose. Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water stops flowing out; clean the pump if necessary as previously described; replace the emergency emptying hose in its seat after having plugged it; screw the pump again and close the door.
What to do if… Problem 27 Possible cause/Solution The machine does not fill: The water tap is closed. • Open the water tap. The inlet hose is squashed or kinked. • Check the inlet hose connection. The filter in the inlet hose or the inlet valve filter are blocked . • Clean the water inlet filters (see "Cleaning the water inlet filters" for more details) . The door is not properly closed. • Close the door firmly . The machine fills then empties immediately: The end of the drain hose is too low.
What to do if… Problem Possible cause/Solution Unsatisfactory washing results: Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used. • Increase the detergent quantity or use another one. Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing. • Use commercial products to treat the stubborn stains. The correct temperature was not selected. • Check if you have selected the correct temperature. Excessive laundry load. • Introduce into the drum less laundry.
Technical data Problem 29 Possible cause/Solution The machine makes an unusual noise: The machine is fitted with a type of motor which makes an unusual noise compared 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. No water is visible in the drum: Machines based on modern technology operate very economically using very little water without affecting performance.
