Maximum loads Washing hints Recommended loads are indicated in the programme charts. Sorting the laundry General rules: 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. 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.
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. If a dosage ball/device is supplied with your concentrate detergent, measure the detergent into the device/ball which should then be placed on top of the laundry and at the back of the machine drum.
Operating sequence Before the first wash we recommend that you run a cotton cycle at 90°C (Anti+Bac), with the machine empty, in order to remove any manufacturing residue from the drum and tub. Pour half a measure of detergent into the main wash compartment and start up the machine. 4. Switch the machine on To switch the machine on, press the On/Off button : the mains-on light comes on. The display will show three blinking dashes or a blinking zero. 1. Place the laundry in the drum On/Off Open the door.
6. Select the temperature 9. Select the Delay Press the Temperature button if you wish to select a temperature value different from the one proposed by the washing machine. The relevant light will light up. Before you start the programme, if you wish the starting to be delayed, press the Delay button repeatedly, or keep it pressed, to select the desired delay. The selected delay time value (up to 23 hours) will appear on the display for 3 seconds, then the duration of the programme will appear again.
11. How to change an option or a programme during its cycle Pay attention to the level and temperature of the water in the washing machine! When you close the door and press the On/Off button again, the washing machine will resume the programme from the point of where it had been interrupted. Before you make any change, you must PAUSE the machine by pressing the Start/Pause button. It is possible to change the temperature or any option before the programme carries it out.

Maintenance Detergent dispenser drawer Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply. After a while, detergents and fabric softeners leave deposits in the drawer. Inspect the drawer regularly. To remove the drawer from the machine, press the button in the rear left-hand corner. After each wash Leave the door open for a while. This helps to prevent mould and stagnant smells forming inside the appliance.
Drain filter Water inlet filter The drain filter collects threads and small objects inadvertently left in the laundry. Check regularly that the filter is clean. If you notice that the machine is taking longer to fill, check that the filter in the water inlet hose is not blocked. Open the filter door by pulling it towards the right. Turn off the water tap. Place a container under the filter to catch any spillage. Unscrew the hose from the tap.
The dangers of freezing If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C, certain precautions should be taken. • Turn off the water tap. • Unscrew the inlet hose. • Place the end of the inlet hose and that of the emergency emptying hose in a bowl placed on the floor and let the water drain out. • Screw the water inlet hose back on and put the emergency emptying hose back in its place after having screwed the cap on again.
Trouble-Shooting Guide Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out a service technician. Before contacting your local Service Centre, please carry out the checks listed below. During machine’s operation it is possible that one of the following alarm codes will appear on the display, then a warning signal will be heard.
Problem Possible cause • The door will not open: • The programme is still running, the drum is turning. • The door lock has not yet released. (door locked light on). • The water level is above the bottom edge of the door. • The machine is heating the water. • Spinning starts late or the laundry is not spun enough: • The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.
