Helpful hints and tips
Blood: treat freshstainswithcoldwater. Fordried
stains, soak overnight in water with a special de-
tergent then rub in the soap and water.
Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain re-
mover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab
the stain; treat several times.
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay
the garment on a soft surface and dab the stain
with the fingertips and a cotton cloth.
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 damagedand the
fabric tends to hole.
Sorting out the laundry
Follow the wash code symbols on each garment
label and the manufacturer’s washing instruc-
tions. Sort the laundry as follows: whites, colour-
eds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.
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.
Rub particularly soiled areas with a special deter-
gent or detergent paste.
Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whites
and fast coloureds only).
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites
and fast coloureds only).
Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or
tie them up in a bag or net.
1)
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone ,
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 re-
sidual 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.
Removing stains
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just wa-
ter and detergent. It is therefore advisable to
treat them prior to washing.
1) do not use acetone on artificial silk
8
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the
fabric first with acetone , then with acetic acid;
treat any residual marks on white fabrics with
bleach and then rinse thoroughly.
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methy-
lated spirits or benzine, then rub with detergent
paste.
Your appliance incorporates a recirculation sys-
tem which allows an optimal use of the concen-
trated detergent.
Follow the product manufacturer’s recommen-
dations on quantities to use and do not exceed
the«MAX»markinthedetergentdispenserdraw-
er .
1)
Quantity of detergent to be used
Detergents and additives
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 quantities to use.
Good washing results also depend on the choice
of detergent 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.
Use less detergent if:
The choice of detergent will depend on the type
of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the
colour, washing temperature and degree of soil-
ing.
All commonly available washing machine deter-
gents may be used in this appliance:
• you are washing a small load
• the laundry is lightly soiled
• large amounts of foam form during washing.
Degrees of water hardness
Water hardness isclassifiedinso-called“degrees”
of hardness. Information on hardness of the wa-
terinyourarea can be obtainedfrom therelevant
water supply company, or from your local au-
thority. 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.
• powder detergents for all types of fabric
• powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C
max) and woollens
• liquid detergents, preferably for low temper-
ature wash programmes (60°C max) for all
types of fabric, or special for woollens only.
The detergent and any additives must be placed
in the appropriate compartments of the dispens-
er drawer before starting the wash programme.
If using liquid detergents, a programme without
prewash must be selected.

and/or does not spin:
• Select the draining or spinning programme.
The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.
• Redistribute the laundry.
13
Problem
Possible cause/Solution
Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent (creates too much
foam) has been used.
• Reduce the detergent quantity or use another one.
Check whether there are any leaks from one of the inlet hose fit-
tings. It is not always easy to see this as the water runs down the
hose; check to see if it is damp.
• Check the water inlet hose connection.
The drain or inlet hose is damaged.
There is water on the floor:
• Replace it with a new one.
The emergency emptying cap has not been replaced into the filter
cover or the filter has not been properly screwed in after cleaning

Problem
Possible cause/Solution
The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the
laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is redis-
tributed by reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen several
times before the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can
resume. If, after 10 minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distrib-
uted inthedrum, the machine will notspin. Inthiscase, redistribute
the load manually and select the spin programme.
Spinning starts late or the ma-
chine does not spin:
• Redistribute the laundry.
The load is too small.
• Add more items, redistribute the load manually and then select
the spinning programme.

Cleaning the water inlet filter
Emergency emptying out
If your water is very hard or contains traces of
lime deposit, the water inlet filter may become
clogged. It is therefore a good idea to clean it
from time to time.
If the water is not discharged, proceed as follows
to empty out the machine:
• pull out the plug from the power socket;
• close the water tap;
• if necessary, wait until the water has cooled
down;
Turn off the water tap.
Unscrew the water in-
let hose. Clean the fil-
ter using a hard bristle
brush. Tighten up the
inlet hose.
• open the pump door;
• place a bowl on the floor. Remove the emer-
gency emptying 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;
Frost precaution
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below
0°C, certain precautions should be taken.
• clean the pump if necessary as previously de-
scribed;
• screw the pump cover again and close the
door.
• Turn off the water tap.
• Unscrew the inlet hose.
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.
• 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 fil-
ter and screw the water inlet hose back.
• Whenyouintendtostartthemachineupagain,
make sure that the room temperature is above
0°C.

Warning! This appliance must be connected
to a cold water supply
Caution! Before connecting up the
appliance to new pipework or to pipework
that has not been used for some time, run off a
reasonable amount of water to flush out any
debris that may have collected
Caution! Do not use the hose from your
previous appliance to connect to water
supply.
Fill the smaller upper hole and the two large
ones with the corresponding plastic plug caps
supplied in the bag containing the instruction
booklet.
Connect the hose to a
tap with a 3/4” thread.
Always use the hose
supplied with the ap-
pliance.
Positioning
Install the machine on a flat hard floor. Make sure
that air circulation around the machine is not im-
peded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that the ma-
chine does not touch the wall or other kitchen
units. Level the washing machine by raising or
lowering the feet. The feet may be tight to adjust
as they incorporate a self locking nut, but the
machine MUST be level and stable.
Any necessary adjustment can be made with a
spanner.
35°
45°
Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and
displacement of the machine during operation.
Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials
under the machine to compensate for any un-
evenness in the floor.
19
The other end of the inlet hose which connects
to the appliance can be turned as showed in the
picture.
Do not place the inlet hose downwards. Angle
the hose to the left or right depending on the
position of your water tap. Set the hose cor-
rectly by loosening the ring nut. After position-
ing the inlet hose, be sure to tighten the ring
nut again to prevent leaks.
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.
Caution! 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
anew, longerhosespeciallydesignedforthistype
