HINTS AND TIPS

RULES FOR SEPARATING LAUNDRY

• Fabric type / indications on label (cotton, mixed fibres, synthetic, wool, handwash items)
• Colour (separate coloured garments from whites, wash new coloured items separately)
• Size (wash items of different sizes in the same load to improve washing efficacy and weight distribution in the drum)
• Delicates (place small items — such as nylon stockings — and garments with clasps — such as braziers — in a laundry bag or in a pillow case with a zip).

WASH SYMBOLS ON GARMENT LABELS
The value given in the tub symbol is the maximum temperature possible for washing the garment.
Normal mechanical action
Reduced mechanical action
Much reduced mechanical action twy
Hand wash only
Do not wash

CLEAN THE WATER FILTER REGULARLY

• This is needed to prevent the filter from blocking and preventing the water from draining correctly.

SAVING ENERGY AND PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

• Keeping within the load limits indicated in the “PROGRAMME CHART” will optimise energy, water and detergent consumption and reduce washing times.
• Do not exceed the detergent quantities recommended by the detergent manufacturer.
• Save energy by using a 60 °C instead of a 90 °C wash programme, or by using a 40 °C instead of a 60 °C wash programme. We recommend using “Eco Cotton” programme, which is longer, but uses less energy.
• To save energy and time when washing, select highest spin speed available for the programme to reduce the residual water remaining in the garments at the end of the wash cycle.
• Pretreat any stains with an appropriate stain remover, or else dampen any dried-on stains with water prior to washing, as this will reduce the need to use a high temperature watch programme.
• Quick programme applicable to quick washing of a small load with lightly soiled.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

For any cleaning and maintenance, switch off and unplug the washing machine.
Do not use flammable fluids to clean the washing machine.

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE WASHING MACHINE

Use a soft damp cloth to clean the outer parts of the washing machine.
Do not use glass or general purpose cleaners, scouring powder or similar to clean the control panel — these substances might damage the printing.

CHECKING THE WATER SUPPLY HOSE

Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and cracks. If damaged, replace it by a new hose available through our After-Sales Service or your specialist dealer.
Depending on the hose type:

If the inlet hose has a transparent coating, periodically check if the colour intensifies locally. If yes, the hose may have a leak and should be replaced.

CLEANING THE MESH FILTERS IN THE WATER SUPPLY HOSE

1. Close water tap and unscrew the inlet hose.

2. Clean the mesh filter at the hose’s end carefully with a fine brush.

3. Now unscrew the inlet hose on the back of the washing machine by hand. Pull out the mesh filter from the valve on the back of the washing machine with pliers and carefully clean it.

4. Insert the mesh filter again. Connect the inlet hose to water tap and washing machine again. Do not use a tool to connect the inlet hose. Open the water tap and check that all connections are tight.

CLEANING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER

1. Remove the detergent dispenser by pressing on the release button and at the same time pulling out the detergent dispenser.

2. Remove the insert from the softener compartment.

3. Now unscrew the inlet hose on the back of the washing machine by hand. Pull out the mesh filter from the valve on the back of the washing machine with pliers and carefully clean it.

4. Wipe the parts dry with a soft cloth

5. Reinstall the detergent dispenser and push it back into the detergent compartment.

CLEANING THE WATER FILTER / DRAINING RESIDUAL WATER

Switch off and unplug the washing machine before cleaning the water filter or draining residual water. If you used a hot wash programme, wait until the water has cooled down before draining any water.
Clean the water filter regularly, to avoid that the water cannot drain after the wash due to obstruction of the filter. If the water cannot drain, the display indicates that the water filter may be clogged.

Cleaning the drain pump filter / draining residual water

1. Power Off and unplug the washing machine from the electrical outlet.

2. Gently press the top area of the filter cover to open.

3. Place a container close to the pump to collect any spillage.

4. Stretch the “emergency drain hose” to the container.

5. When the container is full with water, plug the stopper to the hose end and empty the container. Repeat this procedure until no more water flows out. Afterwards firmly close the emergency drain hose with the stopper and reinsert the hose in the washing machine’s base.

6. Remove filter: Lay a cotton cloth beneath the drain pump filter, which can absorb a small amount of water . Then remove the drain pump filter by turning it out anticlockwise .

7. Clean the drain pump filter: remove residues in the filter and clean it under running water .

8. Insert the drain pump filter: Reinsert the drain pump filter again by turning it in clockwise direction . Make sure to turn it in as far as it goes; the filter handle must be in vertical position . To test water tightness of the drain pump filter, you can pour about 1 liter of water into the detergent dispenser.
