Temperatures

Before Loading The Laundry

• Make sure that no metal objects are left in the laundry (e.g. coin, hair clips, safety pins, pins).
• Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.
• Wash bras, pantyhose and other delicates in a mesh laundry bag, which you can purchase from your supermarket.
• Make sure that you wash lint collectors separately from lint producers.
• Never wash whites and coloured fabrics 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.
• Remove persistent stains before washing.
• 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 a net.

Maximum Loads

Recommended loads are indicated in the program charts on page 11. General rules

Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient use of water and energy. For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.
Removing Stains
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and detergent. 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. ried 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 in cold water. 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). Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and fast coloureds only). all point pen and glue: moisten with acetone (), lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain. Lipstick: moisten with acetone () as above, then treat stains with methylated spirits. Remove any residual marks from white fabrics 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. Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric first with acetone (*), then with acetic acid; treat any residual marks on white fabrics with bleach and then rinse thoroughly. Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated spirits or benzine, then rub with detergent paste. do not use acetone on artificial silk.
Detergents Type And
Quantity Of Detergent Low sudsing detergent is required for this washing machine to prevent oversudsing problems, unsatisfactory washing result and harm to the machine.

Low sudsing detergents designed for front load washing machines are labelled “Front Loading”, “high efficiency”, “HE”, such as Cold Power for Front Loaders or “Matic”.
Do not use wrong types of detergent, such as Top Loading, Handwash detergent or Soap-Based products in your frontload washing machine. This can result in excessive suds, longer cycle time, low spin speeds, poor rinsing and overloading of the motor.
Quantity of detergent to be used
The choice of detergent and use of correct quantities not only affects your wash performance, but also helps 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 and quantity of detergent will depend on ;

• type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.) ;
• the colour of clothes ;
• size of the load ;
• degree of soil ;
• wash temperature ; and hardness of the water used.

Water hardness is classified by 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. You may have to try using the detergent quantity as per manufacturers’ instructions then compare the wash result to the list below and adjust the amount of detergent for your future washes accordingly.

Not enough detergent causes

the washload to turn grey, greasy clothes.

Too much detergent causes:

sudsing, reduced washing effect, inadequate rinsing.

INTERNATIONAL WASH CODE SYMBOLS

These symbols appear on fabric labels, in order to help you choose the best way to treat your laundry.

ECHNICAL DATA

INSTALLATION

CAUTION

All transit bolts and packing must be removed before using the appliance. You are advised to keep all transit devices so that they can be refitted if the machine ever has to be transported again.

1. Use gloves. Cut and remove four cut out straps as shown.
2. Remove the carton box. Remove the polystyrene packaging materials. Remove the plastic bag which cover the machine.
3. Open the door. Remove the polystyrene piece from the door seal and all the items from the drum.
4. Put one of the polystyrene packaging elements on the floor behind the appliance. Carefully put down the appliance with the rear side on it. Make sure not to damage the hoses.
5. Remove the polystyrene base.
6. Pull up the appliance in vertical position.
7. Remove the power supply cable and the drain and inlet hoses from the hose holders (A) on the rear of the appliance.
8. Remove the three transit bolts.
9. Pull out the plastic spacers.
10. Put the plastic caps in the holes (X3). You can find these caps in the user manual bag.

Positioning
It is important that your washing machine stands firm and leveled on the floor to ensure correct operation. The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to avoid restricting the washing machine door. Use a spirit level on the top and side of the washing machine to check the levels.

• If you do not have a spirit level, as a guide use the edge of a door frame, cupboard or bench to check that the washing machine is leveled.

• Loosen or tighten the feet to adjust the level. A correct adjustment of the appliance level prevents vibration, noise and the movement of the appliance when in operation.

• When the washing machine is levelled, try to rock it from corner to corner. If it does rock, adjust the legs again until it is levelled and does not rock.

• Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor. 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 cupboard units.

Water Inlet

• Connect the water inlet hose to a tap with 3/4” BSP thread.
• Use the hose supplied with the washing machine. DO NOT USE OLD HOSES.
• 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.
• Loosen the ring nut to angle the hose to the left or right depending on the position of your water tap. Do not place the inlet hose downwards. After
• positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten the ring nut again to prevent leaks.

Water Drainage

• The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:

Fitting Hose Guide

• In this case, make sure the end cannot come unhooked when the machine will be emptied. This could be done by tying it to the tap with a piece of string or attaching it to the wall.

• 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.

• Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with a clip, ensure a loop is formed in the drain hose to prevent waste from the sink entering the appliance.

• 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 twisted or curled. Run it along the floor; only the part near the drainage point must be raised. For the correct functioning of the machine, the drain hose must remain hooked on the proper support piece situated on the top part of back side of the appliance.

Ecological Hints
To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these tips:

• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).
• The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded.
• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.
• Measure out detergent according to the water hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of laundry being washed.
