YOUR NEW WASHING MACHINE
This machine, which is fitted with a new washing
system meets all modern needs for effective
treatment of laundry with low water, energy and
detergent consumption.
Further savings are achieved by washing small
loads of laundry, since water and electricity
consumption is proportional to the quantity and
type of laundry being washed.
The temperature selector dial will allow you
to choose the most suitable temperature for
your laundry.
The automatic cooling of the washing
water from 95° to 60°C before draining will
prevent old drain pipes from being deformed.
A foam control device during rinses ensures
maximun rince performances.
The anti-unbalance device ensures that the
washing machine remains stable when
spinning.
■
■
■
■
■
Measure out detergent according to the water
hardness, degree of soiling and quantity of
laundry being washed.
■
Use a short programme when washing lightly
soiled laundry and an economy programme
for normally soiled items.
Environment protection
■
Materials marked with the

Washing hints
Sorting 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, woollens.
Temperatures
90°
for normally soiled white cottons and
linen (e.g. tea cloths, towels,
tablecloths, sheets...)
60°
for normally soiled, colour fast
garments (e.g. shirts, night dresses,
pyjamas....) in linen, cotton or
synthetic fibres and for lightly soiled
white cotton (e.g. underwear).
(cold)
30°-40°
for delicate items (e.g. net curtains),
mixed laundry including synthetic
fibres and woollens bearing the label
«pure new wool, machine washable,
non-shrink»
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.
Make sure that no metal objects are left in the
laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).
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 detergent
or detergent paste.
Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks
or tie them up in a bag or net.
Maximum loads
Recommended loads are indicated in the
programme charts.
General rules:
cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed
synthetics: drum no more than half full
delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more
than one third full
Washing a maximum load makes the most
efficient use of water and energy.
For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.

Removing stains
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just
water and detergent. 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.
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 damaged and
the fabric tends to hole.
Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well
(whites and fast coloureds only).
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites
and fast coloureds only).
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone
(*), lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the
stain.
35
ENGLISH
i
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then
treat stains with methylated spirits. Remove any
residual marks from white fabrics 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.
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,
methylated spirits or benzine, then rub with
detergent paste.
(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk
Detergents and additives
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.
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:
– powder detergents for all types of fabric,
– powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C
max) and woollens,
– liquid detergents, preferably for low
temperature 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 dispenser
drawer before starting the wash programme.
If using concentrated powder or liquid detergents,
a programme without prewash must be selected.
Pour liquid detergent into the detergent drawer
compartment marked
just before starting the
programme or use the dispenser supplied with
the product.
Any fabric softener or starching additives must be
poured into the compartment marked
before
starting the wash programme.
The bleaching agent (chlorine) can be used only
for white or fast coloured cotton and linen items.
Pour it into the compartment marked
.
Follow the product manufacturer’s
recommendations on quantities to use.
36
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.
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 company, or from your
local authority.
Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on
quantities to use.
Use less detergent if:
– you are washing a small load
– the laundry is lightly soiled
– large amounts of foam form during washing.

MAINTENANCE
1. Bodywork
Clean the outside of the machine with warm
water and a neutral, non-abrasive household
detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry with a
soft cloth.
Important: do not use methylated spirits,
solvents or similar products to clean the
bodywork.
2. Detergent dispenser drawer
After a while, detergents and fabric softeners
leave deposits in the drawer.
Clean the drawer from time to time by rinsing it
under a running tap. To remove the drawer from
the machine, press the button in the rear lefthand corner (fig. 27).
To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the additive
compartment can be removed (fig. 28).

Detergent can also eventually accumulate inside
the drawer recess: clean it with an old toothbrush
(fig. 29). Refit the drawer after cleaning.

3. Water inlet filter
If you notice that the machine is taking longer to
fill, check that the filter in the water inlet hose is
not blocked.
Turn off the water tap.
Unscrew the hose from the tap and remove the
filter. To do this first depress the yellow button on
the hose and then unscrew the hose.
Clean the filter with a stiff brush.
Refit the filter and screw the hose back onto the
tap.

that the filter is clean.
ENGLISH
Place a container under the filter and unscrew it
(fig. 30).
P0037
Pull out the filter (fig. 31).
Clean the filter under a running tap (fig. 32), then

5. Emergency emptying out
6. The dangers of freezing
If the water is not discharged (drain pump is
blocked, filter or drain hose 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
down;
■ place a bowl on the floor;
■ put the drain hose end into the bowl and let
the water come 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.
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below
0°C, certain precautions should be taken.
■ Turn off the water tap.
■ Unscrew the inlet hose.
■ Unhook the drain hose from the rear support
and position the end of this hose and that of
the inlet hose in a bowl. Run the draining
programme until the selector dial is in the
“Stop” position.
■ Disconnect the appliance.
■ Screw the inlet hose and reposition the drain
hose.
■ When you intend to start the machine up
again, make sure that the room temperature
is above 0°C.
