Cottons, mixed fibres, easy care/synthetic,
wool, handwashed items.
• Colour
Separate whites and coloureds. Wash new
coloured items separately.
• Size
Wash items of different sizes in the same
load to improve washing efficiency and
distribute the load more evenly inside the
drum.
• Fabric delicacy
Wash delicate articles separately: use a
special programme for Pure New Wool
,
curtains and other delicates. Always remove
curtain glides or wash curtains with the glides
inside a cotton bag.
Use the special programme for handwash
fabrics.
Wash stockings, belts and other small items
or articles with hooks (e.g. bras) in special
cotton bags for washing machines or in
zipped pillow cases.
2. Empty pockets
Coins, safety pins and similar can damage
your laundry and the appliance drum and tub.
3. Fasteners
Close zips and fasten buttons or hooks; loose
belts or ribbons should be tied together.
STAIN REMOVAL
•
•
•
1
Blood, milk, egg and other organic substances
are generally removed by the enzyme phase
of the programme.
To remove red wine, coffee, tea, grass and
fruit stains etc. add a stain removing agent in
detergent dispenser compartment
.
Particularly stubborn stains should be treated
before the wash.
2
LOADING THE LAUNDRY
1. Open the door.
2. Unfold the laundry and place it loosely in the
drum.
3. Close the door.

washing results and creased laundry.
75
DETERGENT AND ADDITIVES
CHOOSING THE RIGHT DETERGENT
•
The type of detergent depends on:
• type of fabric (cottons, easy care/synthetic,
delicate items, wool).
Note: use only specific detergents for wool.
• colour;
• washing temperature;
• degree and type of soiling.
Notes:
• Whitish residues on dark fabrics are caused
by insoluble detergents components used in
modern phosphate-free powder detergents.
If you notice this problem, shake or brush the
affected items or use a liquid detergent.
• Keep detergents and additives in a dry place
and out of reach of children.
• Use only detergents and additives specifically
produced for domestic washing machines.
• If you use descaling agents, dyes or bleaches,
make sure they are suitable for washing
machine use. Descaler could contain
components that can attack parts of your
washing machine.
Do not use solvents (turpentine, benzine, etc.).
Do not machine wash fabrics that have been
treated with solvents or flammable liquids.
DOSAGE
Follow the instructions on the detergent pack in
relation to:
• the degree and type of soiling;
• the size of the load;
- 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;
• water hardness in your area (ask for
information from your water company): soft
water requires less detergent than hard water.
Notes:
• Too much detergent can result in excess foam
formation, which reduces washing efficiency.
If the appliance detects excessive foam it may
prevent spinning.
• The laundry will become grey if you use too
little detergent. Too little detergent will also
lead to increased scale deposits on the
heating element and drum.
WATER HARDNESS: soft water requires less detergent than hard water.

easier.
• Fabric softeners (no more “MAX” mark)
• Stain remover agents
• Water softeners (water hardness 4)
• Starch (dissolved in water)
3. Close the detergent dispenser completely.
76
DETERGENT AND ADDITIVES
Notes:
• You can use liquid detergent in the “Prewash”
phase for programmes with this option. In this
case use only powder detergents for the main
wash.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Water Stop fault (depending on model)
When the appliance identifies a water leakage the
pump is running continuously.
Switch off the appliance, unplug it and make sure
that the water tap is closed.
The “Water Stop” may have been triggered by:
1. too much foam:
2. leakage in the inlet hose or in the appliance.
Tilt the appliance forwards carefully to allow the
collected water to flow out from the bottom of the
appliance. Then:
1. connect the appliance to the electrical outlet,
2. open the tap,
3. reselect the desired programme and press
the “On/Off” button.
Important: If the fault occurs again, call AfterSales Service with details about the fault (see
“After-Sales Service”).
Final spin results are poor
• Pump impeller obstructed? (See “Removing
the Filter”).
• Wash consists of a single heavy/large size
article (bathrobe, etc.)? If this is the case the
wash machine may detect load imbalance at
the start of the spin cycle and interrupt the
spin. The machine breaks up the load and
starts a new spin cycle.
• If this happens several times in a row, the
spin is run at reduced speed or if the
imbalance is too great is not run at all.
• If the load is too wet at the end of the
programme, add further garments and run a
new spin cycle.
Important: This machine is fitted with a safety
system. The programme is interrupted after a few
minutes if one of the following happens:
• No water supply
• Pump blocked
If the pump is blocked, switch off the appliance
and clean it (see “Removing the Filter”). Then
restart the appliance.
