Helpful hints and tips
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 net.
Sorting out the laundry
Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label and
the manufacturer’s washing instructions. Sort the laundry
as follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, wool-
lens.
Removing stains
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and de-
tergent. 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.
Before loading the laundry
Never wash whites and coloureds 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.
Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and
poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.
Remove persistent stains before washing.
10
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay the gar-
ment on a soft surface and dab the stain with the fingertips
and a cotton cloth.
• powder detergents for all types of fabric
• powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C max) and
woollens
Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust removing
product used cold. 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).
• liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature wash
programmes (60°C max) for all types of fabric, or spe-
cial for woollens only.
The detergent and any additives must be placed in the ap-
propriate compartments of the dispenser drawer before
starting the wash programme.
If using liquid detergents, a programme without prewash
must be selected.
Your appliance incorporates a recirculation system which
allows an optimal use of the concentrated detergent.
Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations on
quantities to use and do not exceed the «MAX» mark in
the detergent dispenser drawer.
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and fast
coloureds only).
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone1), lay the
garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat stains
with methylated spirits. Treat any residual marks 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.
Quantity of detergent to be used
The type and quantity of detergent will depend on the type
of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and hardness of the
water used.
Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on quanti-
ties to use.
Use less detergent if:
• you are washing a small load
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric first
with acetone1), then with acetic acid; treat any residual
marks on white fabrics with bleach and then rinse thor-
oughly.
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated spirits
or benzine, then rub with detergent paste.
• the laundry is lightly soiled
• large amounts of foam form during washing.
Detergents and additives
Good washing results also depend on the choice of deter-
gent and use of the correct quantities 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 of detergent will depend on the type of fabric
(delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the colour, washing
temperature and degree of soiling.
All commonly available washing machine detergents may
be used in this appliance:
Degrees of water hardness
Water hardness is classified in so-called “degrees” of
hardness. Information on hardness of the water in your
area can be obtained from the relevant water supply com-
pany, or from your local authority. If the water hardness
degree is medium or high we suggest you to add a water
softener following always the manufacturer’s instructions.
When the degree of hardness is soft, readjust the quantity
of the detergent.
Drying Hints
Before starting the drying programme, reduce the loads of
washed laundry, in order to obtain good performances.
Preparing the drying cycle
As a dryer, the appliance works on the condensation prin-
ciple.
Therefore, the water tap must be open and the drain hose
must drain water into a sink or into the drain pipe, even
during the drying cycle.
Laundry not suitable for drying
• Particularly delicate items such as synthetic curtains,
woollen and silk, garments with metal inserts, nylon
stockings, bulky garments such as anoraks, bed cov-

ers, quilts, sleeping bags and duvets must not be ma-
chine dried.
• Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy
items such as towels as these can attract the fluff.
• Remove the laundry when the appliance has finished
drying.
• To avoid a static charge when drying is completed, use
either a fabric softener when you are washing the laun-
dry or a fabric conditioner specifically for tumble dry-
ers.
• Garments padded with foam-rubber or materials simi-
lar to foam-rubber must not be machine dried; they
represent a fire hazard.
• Also, fabrics containing residue of setting lotions or
hair sprays, nail solvents or similar solutions must not
be machine dried in order to avoid the formation of
harmful vapours.
The detergent and any additives must be placed in the ap-
propriate compartments of the dispenser drawer before
starting the wash programme.
Garment labels
For drying, follow the indications given on the manufac-
turer’s labels:
•
•

= Do not tumble dry.
Drying cycle duration
The drying time may vary depending on:
• speed of the final spin
• dryness degree required (iron dry, store dry)
• type of laundry
• weight of the load size .
The average drying time for a timed drying are indicated in
the «Drying programmes» chapter. The experience will
help you to dry your laundry in a more suitable way, ac-
cording to the different fabrics. Take note of the duration
drying time of the already performed cycles.
If using liquid detergents, a programme without prewash
must be selected.
Your appliance incorporates a re-circulation system which
allows an optimal use of the concentrated detergent.
Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations on
quantities to use and do not exceed the «MAX» mark in
the detergent dispenser drawer.
Additional drying
If the laundry is still damp at the end of the drying pro-
gramme, select a short drying cycle again.

Care and cleaning
Warning! You must DISCONNECT the appliance
from the electricity supply, before you can carry out
any cleaning or maintenance work.
Descaling
The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good idea
to periodically use a water softening powder in the ma-
chine. Do this separately from any laundry washing, and
according to the softening powder manufacturer's instruc-
tions. This will help to prevent the formation of lime de-
posits.
Remove the drawer by
pressing the catch down- part of the additive com-
wards and by pulling it
out. Flush it out under a
tap, to remove any traces
of accumulated powder.
To aid cleaning, the top
partment should be re-
moved.
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and
water only, and then dry thoroughly.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer
The washing powder and additive dispenser drawer
should be cleaned regularly.
16
Cleaning the drawer recess
Pull out the emergency
emptying cap from the
pump cover, using pliers.
Having removed the draw-
er, use a small brush to
clean the recess, ensuring
that all washing powder
residue is removed from
the upper and lower part of
the recess.
When no more water
comes out, unscrew the
pump cover, using pliers,
and remove the filter. Al-
ways keep a rag nearby to
dry up any water spillages
when removing the cover.
Replace the drawer and run the rinse programme with-
out any clothes in the drum.

Drain pump
The pump should be inspected regularly and particularly
if:
• the appliance does not empty and/or spin;
Clean the filter under a tap, to remove any traces of fluff.
• the appliance makes an unusual noise during draining
due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking
the pump;
• a problem with water draining is detected (see chapter
“What to do if...” for more details).
Remove foreign bodies
and fluff from the filter seat
and from the pump impel-
ler.
Warning! Before opening the pump door, switch the
appliance off and remove the mains plug from the
socket.
Proceed as follows:
• Unplug the appliance.
• If it is necessary, wait until the water has cooled down.
Open the pump door lev-
ering on the groove with a
coin (or with the suitable
tool, that you can find in
the bag containing the in-
struction booklet, depend-
ing on the model).
1
Check carefully whether the pump impeller rotates (it
rotates jerkily). If it doesn’t rotate, please contact your
Service Centre.
2
Place a bowl with a small
edge close to the pump to
collect any spillage.
17
Replace the filter into the pump by inserting it correctly
into the special guides. Screw the pump cover firmly by
turning it clockwise.
• Screw the hose back onto the tap. Make sure the
connection is tight.
Replace the emergency
emptying cap into the
pump cover and fix it firm-
ly.
• Unscrew the hose from the machine. Keep a rag
nearby because some water may flow.
Close the pump door.
• Clean the filter in the valve with a stiff brush or with
the piece of cloth.
35°
45°
Warning! When the appliance is in use and
depending on the programme selected there can be
hot water in the pump.
Never remove the pump cover during a wash cycle, always
wait until the appliance has finished the cycle, and is
empty. When refitting the pump cover, ensure it is
securely re-tightened so as to stop leaks and young
children being able to remove it.
• Screw the hose back to the machine and make sure
the connection is tight.
• Turn on the water tap.
Frost precaution
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C, cer-
tain precautions should be taken.
• Turn off the water tap.
• Unscrew the inlet hose.
• Place the end of the inlet hose in a bowl placed on the
floor, open the emergency emptying cap of the filter
and let water drain out.
• Refit the emergency emptying cap into the filter and
screw the water inlet hose back.
Cleaning the water inlet filters
Important! If the appliance doesn't fill, takes long to fill
with water, the starting button blinks yellow or the display
(if available) shows the relevant alarm (see chapter "What
to do if..." for more details), check if the water inlet filters
are blocked .
To clean the water inlet filters:
• Turn off the water tap.
• Unscrew the hose from
the tap.
• When you intend to start the machine up again, make
sure that the room temperature is above 0°C.
Emergency emptying out
If the water is not discharged, proceed as follows to empty
out the machine:
• Clean the filter in the
hose with a stiff brush.
• pull out the plug from the power socket;
• close the water tap;
• if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;
18
• open the pump door;
• screw the pump cover again and close the door.
• place a bowl on the floor. Remove the emergency emp-
tying cap from the filter. The water should drain by
gravity into the bowl. When the bowl is full, refit the
emergency emptying cap into the filter. Empty the
bowl. Repeat the procedure until water stops flowing
out;
Important! Every time you drain the water through the
emergency emptying hose you must pour 2 litres of water
into the main wash compartment of the detergent drawer
and then run the drain programme. This will activate the
ECO Valve device avoiding that part of the detergent
remains unused at next washing.
• clean the pump if necessary as previously described;

machine.
35°
45°
Open the porthole and extract the inlet hose.
Connect the hose with the angled connection to the ma-
chine. Do not place the inlet hose downwards. Angle
the hose to the left or right depending on the position of
your water tap.
In this case, make sure the end cannot come unhooked
when the machine is emptying. This could be done by
tying it to the tap with a piece of string or attaching it to
the wall.
Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring nut.
Connect the hose to a tap
with a 3/4” thread.
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.
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 kinked.
• After positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten
the ring nuts again to prevent leaks.
• 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 de-
signed for this type of use.
Water-stop device
A
The inlet hose is provided with a water stop device,
which protects against damage caused by water leaks in
the hose which could develop due to natural ageing of
the hose. This fault is shown by a red sector in the win-
dow «A». Should this occur, turn the water tap off and
refer to your Service Centre to replace the hose.
24
Electrical connection
Information on the electrical connection is given on the
rating plate on the inner edge of the appliance door.
