Important

Your machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the machine is stable during the spin. If the wash load appears not to have been spun sufficiently at the end of the wash cycle, because it is not evenly distributed in the drum, the balance control device may have operated. It will therefore be necessary to redistribute the wash load manually and select a spin programme. For more detailed information see the section headed "Something Not Working". Printed on recycled paper. People who think ecologically, act accordingly. 2

Detergent dispenser drawer

Programme chart

Compartment for prewash or soak detergent and stain remover. The prewash or soak detergent is added at the beginning of the wash programme. The stain remover is added during the STAIN-Action phase in the main wash. Compartment for powder or liquid detergent used for main wash. It is emptied at the beginning of the wash cycle. Compartment for liquid additives (fabric softener, starch). It is emptied during the last rinse. The quantity of additives must not exceed the MAX mark in the drawer.

Before the first wash

Before your first wash, we recommend that you run a cotton cycle at 60C, without any laundry in the machine, to remove any manufacturing residue from the drum and tub. Pour 1/2 a measure of detergent into the dispenser drawer and start the machine.

Preparing the wash cycle

Sorting out and preparing the laundry
Sort out the laundry according to type of fabrics and care labels (see Types of fabric and care labels). Empty pockets. Remove any metal parts (safety pins, clips, etc.). To prevent the laundry from getting damaged and forming bundles, it is advisable to close zips, button up pillowcases and quilt covers and tie up loose straps such as those of aprons. Turn double faced items inside out (sleeping bags, anoraks, etc.) Turn coloured knitted fabrics, woollens and fabrics with trim inside out. Wash small and delicate items (baby socks, tights) inside a laundry net or in a pillow case closed with a zip, or in larger socks. Treat curtains with special care. Remove all metal or plastic hooks or put them in a net or a bag. We decline any responsibility in case of damage. Whites and coloureds must be washed separately: white items can loose their whiteness. New coloured fabrics often have excess dyes; it is advisable to wash them separately for the first time. Wash small and large items together; this improves the washing result and the laundry is better distributed during spinning. Shake out garments before putting them into the machine. Insert each garment separately.

Weight of laundry

Sort of laundry Bathrobes Work shirts Quilt covers Sheets Blouses Hand towels Tea towels Shirts Pillowcases Night-gowns/Pyjamas Tablecloths Underwear Approximate dry weights 1200 g 300-600 g 700 g 500 g 100 g 200 g 100 g 200 g 200 g 200-250 g 200-300 g 250 g
Types of fabric and care labels
The labels on garments help you to select the most suitable wash programme. The laundry should be sorted out according to the type of fabric and the instructions indicated on care labels. Temperatures indicated on labels are always maximum temperatures. Cotton 95 Linen and cottons marked with this symbol can be washed at high temperatures. Cotton 60 Linen and cottons marked with this symbol are colourfast and can be washed at 60C. Cotton Garments marked with these symbols have delicate colours, therefore the washing temperature must not exceed these values. Synthetics (Easy-cares) Mixed and synthetic fabrics marked with these symbols require a gentle wash programme and they must therefore be washed using the specific programme.

TRADITIONAL POWDERS

Pour the powder directly into the dispenser drawer. Do not sprinkle powder onto clothes in the machine drum.

TRADITIONAL LIQUIDS

Liquid can be placed in the main wash compartment of the detergent drawer marked with the symbol , start the machine immediately upon placing the detergent in the dispenser drawer. Alternatively the detergent is measured into the specially designed dosing device* which should be placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the machine drum.
COMPACT POWDERS AND LIQUIDS
Compact detergents (or concentrates as they are also known) are available in liquid or powder form, and generally require a smaller dosage. Follow the manufacturers instructions to ensure the most economical usage. Pour the detergent directly into the dispenser drawer, or alternatively measure the detergent into the specially designed dosing device* which should be placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the machine drum. * If you use a dosing device in a washer dryer, please ensure the dosing device/ball is removed before carrying out a drying programme.

FABRIC CONDITIONERS

These are ideal for improving softness, and also reduce static cling on easy-cares and make ironing easier. They are available in two types: For example Lenor liquid fabric softener, for use in the washing machine/washer dryer. The liquid fabric softener should be poured into the compartment marked with the symbol. Follow the manufacturers dosage instructions and never exceed the MAX level. Bounce conditioning sheets for use in a tumble dryer. We recommend the conditioning sheets are pinned (using a safety pin) to an article of laundry and placed in the tumble dryer. 22

Emergency emptying out

If the water is not discharged (pump is blocked, filter or drain pipe are clogged), 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; place a bowl on the floor; put the drain hose end into the bowl and let the water out. Should it not be possible to have access to the drain hose because, for example the appliance is built in the kitchen furniture, slightly loosen the drain filter after placing a bowl on the floor to let the water come out slowly. At the end screw the filter again.

Frost precautions

If the machine is installed in a place where the temperature could drop below 0C, proceed as follows: Close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet hose from the tap. Place the end of the drain hose and the inlet hose in a bowl placed on the floor. Select the DRAIN programme and run it until the machine stops. Turn the programme selector dial to RESET. Remove the plug from the power socket. Screw the water inlet hose back on and put the drain hose back in its place. By doing this, any water remaining in the machine is removed, avoiding ice forming and consequently damage to the appliance. When you use the machine again, make sure that the ambient temperature is above 0C.

Something not working?

If during the spin cycle the machine makes an unusual whistling noise, different from the noise made by traditional washing machines, this is due to a new type of motor. If water is not visible in the drum, this is due to the modern technology of new washing machines that use less water than traditional machines.

Water inlet (cold water connection only)
Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4 thread. Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulations requirements. Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring nut. After positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten the ring nut again to prevent leaks. Do not connect to a hot water supply. 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 window A. Should this occur, turn the A water tap off and refer to your Service Force Centre to replace the hose.

Water drainage

The appliance drain hose should hook into a standpipe, the hook in the drain hose is formed using the plastic U-Piece supplied. The standpipe should have an internal diameter of approximately 38 mm (see diagram) thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and standpipe. When discharging into a stand3 pin pipe ensure that the top of the curve in the hose end is no more than 90 cm (35.4) and no less than 60 cm (23.6) above floor level.
Max. 90 cm.(35.4") Min.60 cm.(23.6")
The upright standpipe should have a minimum length of 30 cm (12) from the bottom of the elbow to the top of the pipe (see diagram). Make sure that it is designed in such a way that the end of the drain hose cannot be covered with water.
If you intend the drain hose from the machine to empty into a sink, make sure that the sink is empty and the plug hole is not blocked. Use the plastic U -Piece supplied.
Important Before connecting up the machine 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 in the pipes.
In the interest of the environment
Washing machines and dishwashers should be connected to the FOUL drainage system, the water will then be taken to a sewage works for treatment before being discharged safely into a river. It is essential that these appliances are not connected to the surface water drainage system as this water is discharged directly into a river or stream and may cause pollution. If you require any further advice please contact your local water authority.
