DETERGENT DRAWER

The detergent draw is split into 3 compartments as illustrated in Figure 9:

• compartment “1”: for prewash detergent;
• compartment : for special additives, softeners, starch fragrances, etc.;

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, the 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 dispenser that is placed in the drum directly.

SOME MODELS are provided with the automatic dosage, which 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, and coins, from laundry;
  • to have buttoned pillowcases, 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 from 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 programs in terms of combined use of water and energy are usually the longer-lasting ones with lower temperatures.

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 the 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 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 from 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 the 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 necessarily 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 SYSTEMS:

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 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, 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, 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 clip it 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 SYSTEMS:
should you need to tilt or move the machine, remove the detergent drawer before proceeding, keeping it horizontal to avoid any leakage.

OPTIONS button
This button allows you to choose between three different options:

PREWASH

• This option allows you to make a prewash and it is particularly useful for heavily soiled loads (can be used only on some programmes as shown in the table of programmes).
• We recommend you use only 20% of the recommended quantities shown on the detergent pack.

EXTRA RINSE

• This option allows you to add one rinse at the end of the washing cycle and is useful for people with delicate and sensitive skin, for which a small amount of detergent residue can cause irritations or allergies.
• It is advisable to also use this function for children’s clothes and for the washing of heavily soiled items, which requires a lot of detergents to be used, or for the washing of towelling items whose fibres mostly tend to hold the detergent.

HYGIENE +
Activated when you set 60°C of temperature. This option allows deep cleaning of your clothes by maintaining the same temperature for the whole wash.

If an option is selected that is not compatible with the selected program then the option indicator light first flashes and then goes off.

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

• 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
  As shown in the table, this option permits the 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 the 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.

TEMPERATURE SELECTION button

• This button allows you to change the temperature of the wash cycles.
• It is not possible to raise the temperature over the maximum allowed for the programme, to protect the fabrics.
• If you want to carry out a cold wash all the indicators must be off.

SPIN SELECTION button

• By pressing this button, it is possible to reduce the maximum speed, and if you wish, the spin cycle can be cancelled.
• If the label does not indicate specific information, it is possible to use the maximum spin expected in the program.

To prevent damage to the fabrics, it is not possible to increase the speed over the maximum allowed for the programme.

• 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 overdosing 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.

EASY IRON button

(Available on some programmes only)
This function allows you to minimize creases as much as possible, eliminating the intermediate spins or reducing the intensity of the last one.

• This option must be selected before pressing the START/PAUSE button.
• If the option is not compatible with the selected program then the option indicator light first flashes and then goes off.

CHILD LOCK

• Pressing simultaneously the buttons “TEMPERATURE SELECTION” and “SPIN SELECTION” for about 3 seconds, the machine allows you to lock the keys. In this way, you can avoid making accidental or unwanted changes if a button on the display is pressed accidently during a cycle.
• The key lock can be simply cancelled by pressing the two buttons simultaneously again or turning off the appliance.

Digital display
The display’s indicator system allows you to be constantly informed about the status of the machine.

   • Wait until the DOOR-LOCKED light has gone out before opening the door.

4. Kg Detector (function active only on certain programmes)

   • During the first minutes of the cycle, the “Kg Detector” indicator remains on while the intelligent sensor weighs the laundry and adjusts the cycle time, water and electricity consumption accordingly.
   • Through every wash phase “Kg Detector” allows to monitor information on the wash load in the drum and in the first minutes of the wash it:
   • adjusts the amount of water required;
   • determines the length of the wash cycle;
   • controls rinsing according to the type of fabric selected to be washed;
   • adjusts the rhythm of drum rotation for the type of fabric being washed;
   • recognizes the presence of lather, increasing, if necessary, the amount of water during rinsing;
   • adjusts the spin speed according to the load, thus avoiding any imbalance.

| Door problem.
Make sure the door is correctly closed.

Make sure the clothes inside the drum are not preventing the door from closing fully.

If the door is locked, turn off and unplug the washing machine from

the electrical supply socket, wait 2-3 minutes and reopen the door.

Any other code| Turn off and unplug the washing machine, wait a minute. Turn on the machine and restart the program. If the error occurs again contact an Authorised Customer Service Centre directly.

OTHER ANOMALIES

plugged into a working supply socket.
Make sure the power is on.
Make sure the wall socket is working, testing it with another

an appliance such as a lamp.

The door may not be correctly closed: open and close it again.
Check whether the required program was correctly selected and the

start button pressed.

Make sure the washing machine is not in pause or time delay mode.
Water leaked on the floor near the washing machine| This may be due to a leak from the seal between the tap, supply

hose and fill valve; in this case, replace it and tighten the hose connections correctly.

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 because water has not been completely

drained: wait a few minutes. If the problem persists, see the 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, ensuring the correct

amount of detergent is being used.

Strong vibrations/noises are heard during the spin cycle| The washing machine may not be fully levelled: if necessary, adjust the feet as indicated in the specific section.
Make sure transport screws, rubber bungs and spacer tubes were

removed.

Make sure there are no foreign objects inside the drum (coins,

hinges, buttons, etc…).
