WARNING
only use liquid products; the washing machine is set to automatically dose additives at each cycle during the last rinse.

• compartment “2”: for washing detergent.
  A liquid detergent cup is also included IN SOME MODELS (fig. 10). To use it, place it in compartment “2”. This way, liquid detergent will only enter the drum at the right time. The cup can also be used for bleach when the “Rinse” program is selected.

WARNING:
some detergents are not designed for use in the dispenser drawer but are supplied with their own dispenser that is placed in the drum directly.

SOME MODELS are provided with the automatic dosage, this carries out a precise measurement of detergent and softener. In this case, refer to the specific section in the CONTROLS AND PROGRAMS chapter for details.

PRACTICAL HINTS

Load tips
When sorting laundry, make sure:

• have eliminated metallic objects such as hair clips, pins, coins, from laundry;
• to have buttoned pillow cases, closed zips, tied loose belts and long robe ribbons;
• to have removed rollers, hooks or clips from curtains;
• to have carefully read clothing washing labels;
• to have removed any persistent stains using specific detergents.
• When washing rugs, bedcovers or other heavy clothing, we recommend you avoid the spinning cycle.
• To wash wool, make sure the item can be machine washed. Check the fabric label.
• Leave the appliance’s door slightly open between washes, to prevent possible bad smells developing inside the machine.

Useful advice for saving
Tips on how to save money and not damage the environment when using your appliance.

• Load the machine to the highest capacity shown in the programme table for each programme – this will allow you to SAVE energy and water.
• Noise and residual laundry moisture are affected by spin speed: a faster spin is associated with greater noise and lower residual moisture in the laundry.
• The most efficient programmes in terms of combined use of water and energy are usually the longer-lasting ones with lower temperature.

Maximise the load size

• Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent and time by using the recommended maximum load size. Save up to 50% energy by washing a full load instead of 2 half loads.

Do you need to pre-wash?

For heavily soiled laundry only!
SAVE detergent, time, water and between 5 to 15% energy consumption by NOT selecting Prewash for slight to normally soiled laundry.

Is a hot wash required?

• Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried in stains in water before washing to reduce the necessity of a hot wash programme. Save energy by using a low temperature wash programme.

Before using a drying programme (WASHER-DRYERS)

SAVE energy and time by selecting a high spin speed to reduce the water content in laundry before using a drying programme.

Dosing the detergent
Below is a short guide with tips and advice on the use of detergent.

• Only use detergents suitable for machine washing.
• Select your detergent according to the type of fabric (cotton, delicates, synthetics, wool, silk, etc.), the colour, the type and level of soiling and the programmed washing temperature.
• To use the right amount of detergent, softener or any other additives, carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions every time: correctly using the appliance with the right dose allows you to avoid waste and to reduce the environmental impact.

When washing heavily soiled whites, we recommend using cotton programs of 60°C or above and a normal washing powder (heavy duty) that contains bleaching agents that at medium/high temperatures provide excellent results.
For washes between 40°C and 60°C the type of detergent used needs to be appropriate for the type of fabric and level of soiling. Normal powders are suitable for “white” or colour fast fabrics with high soiling, while liquid detergents or “colour protecting” powders are suitable for coloured fabrics with light levels of soiling.
For washing at temperatures below 40°C we recommend the use of liquid detergents or detergents specifically labeled as suitable for low temperature washing.
For washing wool or silk, only use detergents specifically formulated for these fabrics.

• Too much detergent leads to excessive foam, which prevents the cycle being carried out correctly. It could also affect the quality of the washing and rinsing.

The use of ecological detergents without phosphates may cause the following effects:

• cloudier rinse drain water: This effect is tied to the suspended zeolites which do not have negative effects on rinse efficiency.
• white powder (zeolites) on laundry at the end of the wash: this is normal, the powder is not absorbed by fabric and does not change its colour.
• To remove the zeolites, select a rinse programme. In the future consider using slightly less detergent.
• foam in the water at last rinse: this does not necessary indicate poor rinsing. Consider using less detergent in future washes.
• abundant foam: This is often due to the anionic surfactants found in the detergents which are hard to eliminate from laundry. In this case, do not re-rinse to eliminate these effects: it will not help at all.
• We suggest conducting a maintenance wash using a proprietary cleaner.

If the problem persists or if you suspect a malfunction, immediately contact an Authorised Customer Service Centre.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Looking after your appliance correctly can extend its lifespan.

Cleaning the appliance’s exterior

• Disconnect the machine from the power supply.
• Clean the appliance’s external cabinet, using a damp cloth and AVOIDING ABRASIVES, ALCOHOL AND/OR DILUENTS.

Drawer cleaning

• It is advisable to regularly clean the detergent drawer to avoid the accumulation of detergent and additive residues.
• Remove the drawer gently but firmly.
• Clean the drawer under running water and put it back into its compartment. FOR MODELS WITH AUTOMATIC LIQUID DETERGENT AND SOFTENER DOSING SYSTEM:
• Before proceeding with cleaning, all the compartments must be empty.
• Pull out the drawer completely by pressing the release button, paying attention to the leakage of detergent residues.

•  Fill the drawer with hot water.
• Shake the drawer in order to let the water flow in all the compartments.
• Empty the drawer from excess water and reinsert it completely.

WARNING
DO NOT use acid products (for example vinegar) or aggressive detergents to clean the drawer, in order to avoid damaging the seals and/or internal parts of the appliance.

Cleaning the pump filter

• The appliance has a special filter that traps larger residues that could block the draining system, such as buttons or coins (depending on the model, consider version A or B).

We recommend checking and cleaning the filter 5 or 6 times a year.

• Disconnect the machine from the power supply.
• Ensure all the water has been emptied from the drum.
• Before unscrewing the filter, we recommend you place an absorbent cloth under it to keep the floor dry. A small amount of water will come out of the filter as you remove it – this is normal.
• Turn the filter counter-clockwise to the limit stop.
• Remove and clean the filter; when finished, replace it turning it clockwise. The filter handle will be locked when it is not possible to turn any further and the handle is horizontal. Smearing a small amount of liquid soap on the filter seal will help refitting.
• Repeat the previous steps in reverse order to reassemble all parts.

Suggestions for moves or prolonged disuse

• If the appliance is kept in a non-heated room for long periods of time, all water residues must be completely removed from the pipes.
• Disconnect the machine from the power supply socket.
• Detach the tube from the drainage system and clip on the rear of the machine and lower it, fully draining water into a bowl.
• Secure the drain tube with the drainage system and clip on the rear of the machine when finished.
• Keep the door glass and gasket clean.

FOR MODELS WITH AUTOMATIC LIQUID DETERGENT AND SOFTENER DOSING SYSTEM:
should you need to tilt or move the machine, remove the detergent drawer before proceeding, keeping it horizontal so as to avoid any leakage.

• To reactivate the spin cycle press the button until you reach the spin speed you would like to set.
• It is possible to modify the spin speed without pausing the machine.
  An over dosing of detergent can cause excessive foaming. If the appliance detects the presence of excessive foam, it may exclude the spinning phase or extend the duration of the program and increase water consumption.
  The machine is fitted with a special electronic device, which prevents the spin cycle should the load be unbalanced. This reduces the noise and vibration in the machine and so prolongs the life of your machine.

STAIN LEVEL/ALTERNATIVE PROGRAMME SELECTION/ STEAM LEVEL button
This button can be used to select three different functions, depending on the selected programme:

• STAIN LEVEL button

  • Once the programme has been selected the wash time set for that programme will be automatically shown.
  • This option allows you to choose between 3 levels of wash intensity modifying the length of the programme, depending on how much the fabrics are soiled (can only be used on some programmes as shown in the table of programmes).

• ALTERNATIVE PROGRAMME SELECTION

  • Where shown in the table, this option permits selection of an alternative to the pre-set programme (in the case of the RAPID (14’/30’/44′) programme, it allows you to choose one of the three available durations).

• STEAM LEVEL

  • After selecting the EASY IRON PLUS programme, you can use this button to choose between three steam treatments of different intensities, designed for dry or wet garments and depending on the type of fabric:

• COTTON (default selection)

  • This programme is used for cotton garments. On wet fabrics (e.g., after washing), it is suitable for relaxing creases after spinning; on dry fabrics it is instead designed to achieve the ideal humidity level for easier ironing.

• SYNTHETIC (press button once)
  This programme is used for synthetic garments. On wet fabrics (e.g., after washing), it is suitable for relaxing creases after spinning; on dry fabrics it is instead designed to achieve the ideal humidity level for easier ironing.

• DELICATES (press button twice)
  With the help of steam, the cycle refreshes and relaxes creases in garments after use. The programme consists of an initial phase in which the steam acts and a final phase in which the excess humidity is removed for immediate use. The cycle is suitable for dry fabrics.

DRYING

WARNING
Dispensers used for concentrated powders and liquid detergents must be removed from the drum before commencing the tumble drying programmes.

The drum changes direction during the drying cycle to prevent the laundry from tangling and producing even more drying. Cool air is used during the last 10/20 minutes of the drying cycle to minimize creasing.

DRY WOOL
Low temperature drying programme, ideal to dry woollen clothes with maximum care and softness, reducing rubbing of fabrics and avoid possible felting. It’s suggested to reverse clothing before drying. Timing is related to the amount of the washing and the spin speed selected for the wash. The cycle is suitable for small loads up to 1 kg (3 sweaters).

The wool drying cycle of this machine has been approved by “The Woolmark Company” for the drying of machine washable wool products provided that the products are washed and dried according to the instructions on the garment label and those issues by the manufacturer of this machine.

DRYING CYCLE

• Drying guidance advice is general, but practical experience of using the product will help you to achieve the best drying results.
• We recommend setting a lower drying time than indicated, when first using the appliance in order to establish the degree of dryness required.
• We recommend not drying fabrics that fray easily, such as rugs or garments with a deep pile, in order to avoid air duct clogging.
• We recommend that you sort the laundry by the following methods:
  • By drying care symbols, which are displayed on the clothing labels

If the fabric does not have a care label, you should assume that it is not suitable for drying.

• By size and thickness
  Whenever the wash load is bigger than the drying capacity, separate the clothes according to thickness (e.g. towels from thin underwear).

• By fabric type
  Cottons/linen: towels, cotton jersey, bed and table linen.
  Synthetics: blouses, shirts, overalls, etc. made of polyester or polyamide, as well as for cotton/synthetic mixes.

• Only dry pre-spun laundry.

The correct way to dry

• Open the door.
• Fill with the laundry, not exceeding the maximum drying load indicated in the programme table. For large items (e.g. sheets) or very absorbent items (e.g. towels or jeans), it is a good idea to reduce the load.
• Close the door.
• Select the more suitable drying program for your laundry (HIGH HEAT, LOW HEAT, DRY WOOL).
• Select the degree of dryness that you require:

EXTRA DRY
(suitable for towels, bathrobes and bulky loads).

IRON DRY
(that leaves the laundry ready for ironing). CUPBOARD DRY (for items that will be put away without ironing).

TIMED DRYING PROGRAMS

• 120 MINUTES
• 90 MINUTES
• 60 MINUTES
• 30 MINUTES

By selecting the wool drying programme, it’s not possible to select a degree of dryness different from the default one.

The washer dryer will calculate the time needed for drying and the level of moisture remaining in the laundry, according to the load and drying type selected.
Check that the tap is turned on and that the discharge hose is positioned correctly.

WARNING:
Do not dry articles with special padding (e.g. quilts, quilted anoraks, etc.) and very delicate fabrics.
If garments are drip/dry, load less items to prevent creasing.

• Press the START/PAUSE button (the display will show the drying time remaining).

The appliance calculates the time to the end of the selected programme based upon a standard loading. During the cycle, the appliance corrects the time according to the size and composition of the load.
During the drying phase the drum will accelerate to a higher speed to distribute the load and to optimize the drying performance.
In order to ensure the correct operation of the appliance, it is advisable not to interrupt the drying phase unless it is absolutely necessary.

AUTOMATIC WASHING/DRYING CYCLE
You cannot exceed the maximum dryable load of laundry indicated in the programme table, otherwise the laundry will not be dried satisfactory.

If you want a drying cycle to start automatically after washing, simply select the desired washing cycle, set the desired degree of drying through the DRYING SELECTION button and start the cycle. At the end of the washing programme, the set drying cycle will automatically start (see section “DRYING SELECTION”).

Make sure the front filter is correctly closed.
The washing machine does not spin| The machine is fitted with a detection system that protects the load and product from damage if the load is not balanced before spinning. This may result in:-

• The machine attempts to balance the load, increasing the time of spin.
• Reduction of the speed of spin to decrease vibrations and noise.
• The spin cycle aborting to protect the machine and load.

If this is experienced remove the load de-tangle it, reload it and restart the spin program.

This could be due to the fact that water has not been completely drained: wait a few minutes. If the problem persists, see Error 3 section.
Some models include a “no spin” function: make sure it is not selected.
Check which options are selected and their effect on the spin cycle.
Excessive detergent can impede the spin cycle, ensure the correct amount of detergent is being used.
