GB 4
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.
• Size
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.
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 programme chart (overloading the
machine will result in unsatisfactory washing results
and creased laundry).
3. Close the door. Take care that no laundry gets
stuck between door and door seal.
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.
DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES
Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry
place out of the reach of children.
Do not use any solvents (e.g. turpentine,
benzene); do not machine wash fabrics that
have been treated with solvents or flammable liquids.
Only use detergents and/or additives that are
specifically produced for domestic washing
machines.
Observe the recommendations on the care
labels of your laundry.
For laundry requiring special treatment (e.g. wool
or microfibers), we recommend to use specialized
detergents, additives or pre-treatment available on
the market.
Refer to internet link www.cleanright.eu for more
detailed information.
The choice of detergent depends on:
• Type of fabric
• Colour
• Recommended wash temperature
• Degree and type of soiling
Dosage
Laundry type
Kind of detergent
White robust laundry
(cold-95°C):
White delicate laundry
(cold-40°C):
Light /pastel- shaded
colours (cold-60°C):
Intensive colours
(cold-60°C):
Black/dark colours
(cold-60°C):
heavy duty detergents with
bleach
mild detergents with bleach
and/or optical brighteners
detergents with bleach
and/or optical brighteners
colour detergents without
bleach/optical brighteners
special detergents for black/
dark laundry
Do not use liquid detergent for the main wash
when having activated the “Prewash” option.
Do not use liquid detergent when selecting a
later cycle start / cycle end (depending on the
model).
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): half the amount
used for a full load
If there is no reference to a certain wash load on
the detergent pack: the detergent manufacturers
usually refer their dosing recommendations to
4.5 kg laundry for heavy duty detergent and
2.5 kg laundry for delicate detergent.
• water hardness in your area (ask for information
from your water company). Soft water requires
less detergent than hard water.
GB 5
Please note:
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, or prolong the programme duration
and increase the water consumption (see also remarks on foam formation in the “Troubleshooting Guide”).
Insufficient detergent may result in grey laundry and also calcifies the heating system, drum and hoses.
Where to put detergent and additives
The detergent drawer has three chambers (picture “A”).
Prewash Chamber
• Detergent for the prewash
Main Wash Chamber
• Detergent for the main wash
• Stain remover
• Water softener
Softener Chamber
• Fabric softener
• Liquid starch
Pour additives only up to the “MAX” mark.
If you use liquid detergent, close the dispenser right after having
filled in the detergent.
Using chlorine bleach
• Wash your laundry in the desired programme (Cotton, Synthetics),
adding an appropriate amount of chlorine bleach to the SOFTENER
chamber (close the detergent dispenser carefully).
• Immediately after end of programme, start the “Rinse and Spin”
programme to eliminate any residual bleach smell; if you want,
you can add softener.
Never put both chlorine bleach and softener into the softener
chamber at the same time.
• Prefer to use bleaches on oxygen basis; in this case follow the
instructions of the manufacturer.
Using starch
• Select the “Rinse and Spin” programme and check that the spin
speed is adjusted to not more than 800 rpm.
• Start the programme, pull out the detergent dispenser so that you
can see approximately 3 cm of the softener chamber.
• Pour the starch solution prepared into the softener chamber
while the water is running into the detergent dispenser.

DRAINING RESIDUAL WATER/
CLEANING THE FILTER
We recommend that you check and clean the filter
regularly, at least two or three times a year, especially:
• If the “Clean pump” indication lights up:
• If the appliance is not draining properly or if it fails to
perform spin cycles.
If the washing machine stands in a room prone to frost, you
have to drain residual water after each wash to avoid damages.
IMPORTANT: make sure the water has cooled
before draining the appliance.
1. Stop the appliance and unplug it.
2. To open the plinth (depending on the model):
- Push down the tabs right and left (if available) to
release the plinth and remove it (picture “A”).
- Remove the plinth by using the siphon inset of the
detergent dispenser: push downwards one side of the
plinth with your hand, then push the siphon inset into
the gap between plinth and front panel and pry open
the plinth (picture “B”).
- For built-in models: unclip the kitchen plinth and
remove it.
3. Place a container near the washing machine.
4. If your washing machine has an emergency drain hose:
- Unclip the emergency drain hose, or pull out the
emergency drain hose from the washing machine’s
base (depending on the model).
If there is no emergency drain hose: place a broad, flat
container beneath the filter (picture “D”).
Ignore steps 5 - 8 and proceed with 9.
5. Hold the emergency hose’s end into the container and
remove the stopper (picture “C”).
6. Wait until all the water has drained, then refix the stopper
at the hose’s end (picture “E”).
7. Refix the emergency drain hose to the clip, or push it
back into the washing machine’s base (depending on
the model).
8. Lay an absorbable cotton cloth (e.g. a towel) on the
floor in front of the filter.
9. Slowly open the filter by turning it counter-clockwise
(picture “F”); wait until all the water has drained, then
unscrew the filter completely and remove it.
10. Only for draining residual water (freestanding models):
tilt the appliance forwards carefully (a second person
must help you) to allow the water to flow out completely.
11. Only for cleaning the filter: clean the filter and the filter
chamber; check that the pump rotor in the filter chamber
moves freely.
12. Re-insert the filter and screw it in clockwise as far as
it will go.
13. Pour about 1 litre of water into the detergent dispenser
to reactivate the “Eco system”. Check that the filter is
inserted properly and securely and no water comes out.
14. Reinstall the plinth (picture “G”); if necessary, tilt the
washing machine slightly backwards for doing that (a
second person must help you).
For built-in models: reinstall the kitchen plinth.
15. Plug in the washing machine. It is now ready for
operation again.

REMAINING MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE LAUNDRY
AFTER SPINNING
The degree of moisture remaining in the laundry after spinning mainly depends on the fabric type, the selected
programme and spin speed.
The lowest remaining moisture content can be achieved using the wash programme referred to by the Energy
Label, with maximum spin speed. This programme is marked in the separate programme chart as “Reference
programme for the Energy Label”. Below a survey of the remaining moisture content (in %) related to the various
spin-drying efficiency classes:
Spin-drying efficiency class
Remaining moisture content in %
A (= most efficient)
less than 45
B
45 or more, but less than 54
C
54 or more, but less than 63
D
63 or more, but less than 72
E
72 or more, but less than 81
SAVE ENERGY AND HELP PROTECTING
THE ENVIRONMENT
• You reach the best use of energy, water, detergent and time by running the programmes with the maximum
load size.
• Save energy by using a 60°C instead of a 95°C wash programme, or by using a 40°C instead of a 60°C wash
programme.
• Pre-treat stains with a stain remover, or soak dried-in stains in water before washing, to reduce the necessity
of a hot wash programme.
• Use “Prewash” for heavily soiled laundry only. Save detergent, time, water and energy by not selecting “Prewash” for lightly or normally soiled laundry.
• Do not exceed the detergent dosages indicated in the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Select a high spin speed if you intend to dry your laundry in a tumble dryer, in order to reduce time and energy
for the drying process.
EXPLANATION OF THE ENERGY LABEL
(only for washing machines with Energy Label according to Directive 2010/30/EU)

washing machine on the holes to close them
(pict. 2d).
ADJUSTMENT OF THE FEET
The appliance must be installed on a solid and level
floor surface (if necessary use a spirit level).
If the appliance is to be installed on a wooden or
floating floor, distribute the weight by placing it on a
sheet of plywood measuring at least 60 x 60 cm and
thickness of at least 3 cm which is secured to the
floor. If the floor is uneven, adjust the 4 levelling feet
as required; do not insert pieces of wood etc. under
the feet.
Screw out the washing machine´s feet by hand with
2-3 anticlockwise turns and then slacken the locknut
by 13 mm wrench (see pict. 3, 4).
Slightly lift the machine and adjust the height of the
foot revolving it (pict. 4).
Important: tighten the locknut by turning it anticlockwise towards the appliance casing (pict. 5, 6).
If you need a longer waterstop hose, contact
our After Sales Service or your dealer.
• Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness
and cracks and replace if necessary.
• The washing machine can be connected without
a backflow valve.
CONNECT THE DRAIN HOSE

pict. 9: Unclip it from the holders marked with
arrows.
2. In case the drain hose is installed in the upper
part of the washing machine (pict. 10): Unclip it
from both holders marked with arrows
(depending on the model ).
3. Firmly connect the drain hose to the siphon or
another outlet for drain water.
• Make sure there are no kinks in the drain hose.
• Secure the hose so that it cannot fall down.
• Small hand basins are not appropriate.
• To make an extension, use a hose of the same
type and secure the connections with clips.
• Height for siphon - drain hose connection must
be minimum 60 cm and maximum 125 cm
• Max. Overall drain hose length: 2,50 m (in this
case, the maximum height for fixation is 90 cm).
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
• Use a socket with an earth connection.
• Do not use extension leads or multi sockets.
• The electrical power cable must be replaced
exclusively by a licensed electrician.
• Electrical connections must be made in accordance
with local regulations.
CONNECT THE WATER INLET HOSE
If the water inlet hose is not already installed, screw
by hand the bent end of the inlet hose to the valve on
the washing machine‘s back (pict. 7, 8).
Screw by hand the straight end of the inlet hose to
the tap, tightening the nut.
Attention:
• No kinks in the hose!
• The appliance must not be connected to the
mixing tap of an un-pressurized water heater.
