WASH CYCLES
Follow the instructions on the symbols of the garment’s wash care label. The
value indicated in the symbol is the maximum recommended temperature for
washing the garment.
Mixed For washing lightly to normally soiled resistant garments in cotton,
linen, synthetic fibres and mixed fibres. Eco 40-60 For washing normally
soiled cotton garments declared to be washable at 40 °C or 60 °C, together in
the same cycle. This is the standard cotton programme and the most efficient
in terms of water and energy consumption. ! The cycle runs only at 40°C as per
regulation. Cotton Suitable for washing towels, underwear, table cloths, etc.
made of resistant linen and cotton that are moderately to heavily soiled.
Synthetics Suitable for washing moderately soiled garments made of synthetic
fibres (e.g. polyester, polyacrylic, viscose, etc.) or mixed synthetic-cotton
fibres. Delicates Suitable for washing lightly soiled garments made of
synthetic fibres (e.g. polyester, polyacrylic, viscose, etc.) or mixed
synthetic-cotton fibres. Wool – Wool Care The wool wash cycle of this machine
has been approved by The Woolmark Company for the washing of machine washable
wool products provided that the products are washed according to the
instructions on the garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this
washing machine. The Woolmark symbol is a Certification mark in many
countries. (M2225) Anti Allergy Suitable for removing major allergens such as
pollen, mites and cat or dog hair. Spin & Drain Spins the load then empties
the water. For resilient garments. If you exclude the spin cycle, the machine
will drain only. Rinse & Spin Rinses and then spins. For resilient garments.
Baby Use the special wash cycle to remove the soiling typically caused by
babies, while removing all traces of detergent from nappies in order to
prevent the delicate skin of babies from suffering allergic reactions. The
cycle has been designed to reduce the amount of bacteria by using a greater
quantity of water and optimising the effect of special disinfecting additives
added to the detergent. 20°C For washing lightly soiled cotton garments, at a
temperature of 20 °C. Duvet Suitable for washing clothing padded with goose
down, such as single duvets (weighing under 3,5 kg), cushions or down jackets.
Duvets should be loaded into the drum with their edges folded inwards and no
more than ¾ of the total drum volume should be used up. For best results, it
is advisable to use liquid detergent to be poured into the detergent drawer.
White For heavily soiled whites and resistant colours. 30 min For washing
lightly soiled garments in a short time. Not suitable for wool, silk and
garments to be washed by hand. Full Load 45 min Suitable for washing a full
load of cotton clothes moderately soiled in 45 minutes. Anti Stain 40° the
programme is suitable to heavily-soiled garments with resistant colours. It
ensures a washing class that is higher than the standard class (A class). When
running the programme, do not mix garments of different colours. We recommend
the use of powder detergent. Pre-treatment with special additives is
recommended if there are particularly obstinate stains.
DISPLAY
The display is useful when programming the washing machine and provides plenty
of information.
h
The duration of the available wash cycles and the remaining time of a running
cycle appear (the display will show the maximum duration of the cycle chosen,
which may decrease after several minutes, since the effective duration of the
programme varies depending on the wash load and the settings chosen); if the
DELAY START option has been set, the countdown to the start of the selected
wash cycle will appear. Pressing the corresponding button allows you to view
the maximum spin speed and temperature values attained by the machine during
the set wash cycle, or the values selected most recently, if these are
compatible with the set wash cycle.

TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
Divide the laundry according to: Type of fabric (cotton, mixed fibres,
synthetics, wool, garments to be hand-washed). Colour (separate coloured
garments from whites, wash new coloured garments separately). Delicates (small
garments such as nylon stockings and items with hooks such as bras:
insert them in a fabric bag). Empty the pockets: Objects such as coins or
lighters can damage the washing machine and the drum. Check all buttons.
Follow the dosage recommendation / additives It optimizes the cleaning result,
it avoids irritating residues of surplus detergent in your laundry and it
saves money by avoiding waste of surplus detergent Use low temperature and
longer duration The most efficient programmes in terms of energy consumption
are generally those that perform at lower temperatures and longer duration.
Observe the load sizes Load your washing machine up to the capacity indicated
in the “PROGRAMME CHART” table to save water and energy. Noise and remaining
moisture content They are influenced by the spinning speed: the higher the
spinning speed in the spinning phase, the higher the noise and the lower the
remaining moisture content.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
For any cleaning and maintenance, switch off and unplug the washing machine.
Do not use flammable fluids to clean the washing machine. Clean and maintain
your washing machine periodically (at least 4 times per year).
Cutting off the water and electricity supplies Close the water tap after every
wash. This will limit wear on the hydraulic system inside the washing machine
and help to prevent leaks. Unplug the washing machine when cleaning it and
during all maintenance work. Cleaning the washing machine The outer parts and
rubber components of the appliance can be cleaned using a soft cloth soaked in
lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives. The washing machine
has a “Auto-Clean” cycle for its internal parts; it must be run without any
load in the drum. To optimise this cycle, it is possible to use either
detergent (10% of the quantity specified for lightly soiled garments) or
special additives to clean the washing machine. We recommend running a
cleaning cycle every 40 wash cycles. To start the programme, close the door,
turn the machine ON and press button for 5 seconds. The cycle will start
automatically and will run for about 70 minutes. To stop the cycle, press the
START/PAUSE button. Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer Remove the
dispenser drawer by lifting and pulling it outwards. Wash it under running
water; this procedure should be effected regularly.
Caring for the door and drum Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to
prevent unpleasant odours from forming. Cleaning the pump The washing machine
is fitted with a self-cleaning pump that does not require any maintenance.
Small items (such as coins or buttons) may sometimes fall into the protective
pre-chamber situated at the base of the pump. ! Make sure that the wash cycle
has ended and unplug the appliance. To access the pre-chamber:
1. remove the covering panel on the front side of the machine by inserting a
screwdriver in the centre and sides of the panel and using it as a lever; 2.
loosen the drainage pump cover by turning it anti-clockwise: it is normal for
some water to leak out; 3. clean the inside thoroughly; 4. screw the cover
back on; 5. put the panel back in place, making sure the hooks slot in place
before pushing the panel onto the appliance. Checking the water inlet hose
Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If it is cracked or broken,
it must be replaced: during wash cycles, the high pressure of the water could
suddenly split the hose open. ! Never use hoses that have already been used.
LOAD BALANCING SYSTEM
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations before every spin and
to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates continuously at a
speed which is slightly greater than the washing rotation speed. If, after
several attempts, the load is not balanced correctly, the machine spins at a
reduced spin speed. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the washing machine
performs the distribution process instead of spinning. To encourage improved
load distribution and balance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed
in the load.
ACCESSORIES
Contact our Technical Assistance Service to check whether the following
accessories are available for this washing machine model.
Stacking kit With this accessory you can secure the tumble dryer to the upper
part of your washing machine to save space and facilitate loading and
unloading of the tumble dryer.
TRANSPORT AND HANDLING
Do not lift the washing machine by gripping it from the upper section. Unplug
the appliance and close the water tap. Check that the door and detergent
dispenser drawer are tightly closed. Detach the filling hose from the water
tap then detach the drain hose. Empty all the water remaining in the hoses and
secure the latter so that they do not get damaged during transport. Apply the
transport bolts back on. Repeat, in reverse order, the transport bolt removal
procedure described in the “Installation instructions”.
