• This option is particularly suitable for areas with
very soft water, washing baby linen and helps
people with allergies.
“Rinse hold” button
• The laundry remains in the last rinse water
without progressing to the final spin cycle to avoid
creasing and prevent colours from changing.
• This option is particularly recommended for the
programmes “Synthetics”, “Daily load” and
“Delicates”.
• It is particularly useful if you want to postpone
spinning to a later time, or if you want to drain
only.
Note: The programme stops to “Rinse hold” at
the time the “Anticrease” light in the programme
sequence indication is on. The indication lamp
next to the “Start/Pause” button flashes.
• If you select “Rinse Hold”, do not leave the
laundry items to soak for too long.
Terminate the “Rinse hold” option:
• Press the “Start/Pause” button; the
programme will terminate automatically with the
final spin cycle for the present wash programme.
• If you do not wish to spin the clothes, turn the
programme selector knob to the “Drain”
programme and press the “Start/Pause” button.
• Increases the water quantity and the clothes are
spun very gently.
Consumption values were measured in normalized conditions in compliance with Standard IEC/EN 60 456. Consumption data in the home
may vary with respect to the values in the table in relation to the water supply pressure and temperature, the load and the type of wash.
The remaining time indicator can deviate from the values in the table, because it takes into account the household conditions
*
applicable at that time.
To reduce the water temperature, some cold water is added at the end of the main wash cycle, before the pump drains the water out.

PREPARATION OF THE WASHING
1.Sort the laundry according to...
Stain removal
• Type of fabric / care label symbol
Cottons, mixed fibres, easy care/synthetics,
wool, handwash items.
• Colour
Separate coloured and white items. Wash new
coloured articles separately.
• Loading
Wash items of different sizes in the same load to
improve washing efficiency and distribution in the
drum.
• Delicates
Wash small items (e.g. nylon stockings, belts etc.)
and items with hooks (e.g. bras) in a cloth bag or
pillow case with zip. Always remove curtain rings
or wash curtains with the rings inside a cotton bag.
• Blood, milk, eggs etc. are generally removed by
the automatic enzyme phase of the programme.
• To remove red wine, coffee, tea, grass and fruit
stains etc. add a stain remover to the main wash
chamber
of the detergent dispenser.
• Pre-treat heavily-soiled areas with stain remover
if necessary.
2.Empty all pockets
Coins, safety pins etc. can damage your laundry
as well as the appliance drum and tub.
3.Fasteners
Close zips and fasten buttons or hooks; loose
belts or ribbons should be tied together.
Dyeing and bleaching
• Only use dyes and bleaches that are suitable for
washing machines.
• Follow the Manufacturer’s instructions.
• Plastic and rubber parts of the washing machine
can be stained by dyes or bleaches.
Loading the laundry
1. Open the door.
2. Load the articles one at a time loosely into the
drum, without overfilling. Observe the load sizes
given in the quick reference guide.
Note: overloading the machine will result in
unsatisfactory washing results and creased laundry.
3. Close the door.
DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES
Keep detergents and additives in a safe,
dry place out of the reach of children!
The choice of detergent depends on:
• Type of fabric (cottons, easy care/synthetics,
delicate items, wool).
Note: Use only specific detergents for washing
wool.
• Colour.
• The wash temperature.
• Degree and type of soiling.
Remarks:
• Any whitish residues on dark fabrics are caused
by insoluble compounds used in modern
phosphate-free powder detergents. If this
occurs, shake or brush out the fabric or use liquid
detergents.
• Use only detergents and additives specifically
produced for domestic washing machines.
• When using descaling agents, dyes or bleaches
for the pre-wash, make sure that they are
suitable for use in domestic washing machines.
Descalers could contain products which could
damage your washing machine.
• Do not use any solvents (e.g. turpentine,
benzine). Do not machine wash fabrics that have
been treated with solvents or flammable liquids.
• Do not use liquid detergent for the main wash
when having activated the “prewash” option (if
available on your model).
• Do not use liquid detergent when activating the
“Start Delay” function (if available on your
washing machine).
Dosage
Follow the dosage recommendations on the
detergent pack. They depend on:
• degree and type of soiling
• size of wash
full load: follow the detergent manufacturer’s
instructions;
half load: 3/4 the amount used for a full load;
Minimum load (about 1 kg):
1/2 the amount used for a full load
• water hardness in your area (ask for information
from your water company). Soft water requires
less detergent than hard water (refer to the water
hardness table in the operating instructions).
Notes:
Too much detergent can result in excess foam
formation, which reduces washing efficiency.
If the washing machine detects too much foam, it
may prevent spinning.
Insufficient detergent may result in grey laundry in time
and also calcifies the heating system, drum and hoses.

REMOVING THE FILTER/DRAINING
RESIDUAL WATER
We recommend that you check and clean the filter
regularly, at least two or three times a year.
A
Especially:
• If the appliance is not draining properly or if it fails to
perform spin cycles.
• If the “Clean filter” indication lights up:
IMPORTANT: make sure the water has cooled
before draining the appliance.
1. Stop the appliance and unplug it.
2. Remove the plinth or open the cover (depending on
the model) by using the separator of the detergent
dispenser (fig. A / B).
3. Place a container beneath it. If your washing machine
has the filter situated behind the plinth (see pictures
“A” and “C”), use a broad and very flat container with
a maximum height of 2 cm.
4. Open the filter but do not remove it completely.
Slowly turn the filter counterclockwise (fig. C) until the
water begins to drain out.
5. Wait until all the water has drained.
6. Now unscrew the filter completely and remove it.
7. Tilt the appliance forwards carefully to allow the water
to flow out.
8. Clean the filter and the filter chamber.
9. Check that the pump rotor moves freely.

Water supply hose(s)
If a supply hose shows a damage, replace it by a new hose of the
same type, available through our After-Sales Service or your
specialist dealer.
If your supply hose has a transparent hose coating (fig. “C”),
periodically check the colour of the transparent coating. If the
coating begins to turn red, this is an indication that the hose may
have a leak and should be replaced. Contact our After-Sales Service
team or specialist dealer to obtain a replacement hose.
