CHILD SAFETY To protect the appliance against improper use, turn the plastic screw on the interior of the door by using a coin. • Slot vertical: the door will not lock. • Slot horizontal - normal position: the door can be locked again. BEFORE THE FIRST WASH CYCLE To remove any residual water used in testing by the manufacturer, we recommend that you carry out a short wash cycle without laundry. 1. Open the tap. 2. Close the door. 3. Pour a little detergent (about 30 ml) into the main wash chamber of the detergent dispenser. 4. Select and start a short programme (see separate “Programme Chart”). GB 4 PREPARATION OF THE WASHING 1.Sort the laundry according to... • 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. 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. Stain removal • 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 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. GB 5 Where to put detergent and additives Separator A The detergent drawer has three chambers (fig. “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. Using chlorine bleach Hooks • 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. ) } A Separator Guide Rails B 2 Using starch 3 • Select the “Rinse and Spin” programme and check that the spin speed is adjusted to not more than 800 rpm. 1 • 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. How to position the separator in the main wash chamber for powder or liquid detergent C For use with powder detergent: place the separator in the higher position. Lift the separator until its top can be reclined. Place its hooks on the upper end of the back guide rails and slightly push the separator down to fix it (fig. “B” and “C”). A gap should remain between the separator and the bottom of the main wash chamber, if the separator has been correctly installed (fig. “B” and “C”). For use with liquid detergent: place the separator in the lower position. Secure the separator in the chamber using the front guide rails. Position the separator so that it touches the bottom of the main wash chamber (fig. “D”). GB 6 D 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. Stop the appliance and unplug it. 1. Remove the plinth or open the cover (depending on the model) by using the separator of the detergent dispenser (fig. A / B). 2. 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. 3. Open the filter but do not remove it completely. Slowly turn the filter counterclockwise (fig. C) until the water begins to drain out. 4. Wait until all the water has drained. 5. Now unscrew the filter completely and remove it. 6. Tilt the appliance forwards carefully to allow the water to flow out. 7. Clean the filter and the filter chamber. 8. Check that the pump rotor moves freely. 9. Re-insert the filter and screw it in clockwise as far as it will go. 10. Pour about 1 litre of water into the detergent drawer to reactivate the “Eco system”. Check that the filter is inserted properly and securely. 11. Reinstall the plinth or the cover, depending on the model. 12. Plug in the appliance again. 13. Select a programme and start it. GB 7 B C CARE AND MAINTENANCE Appliance exterior and control panel Door seal • Can be washed down with a soft, damp cloth. • A little neutral detergent (non abrasive) can also be used. • Dry with a soft cloth. • Clean with a damp cloth when necessary. • Check the condition of the door seal periodically. Appliance interior • After each washing, leave the door open for some time to allow the inside of the appliance to dry. • If you never or seldom wash your laundry at 95°C, we recommend to occasionally run a 95°C programme without laundry, adding a small amount of detergent, to keep the interior of the appliance clean. Filter • Check and clean the filter regularly, at least two or three times a year (see “Removing The Filter/ Draining Residual Water”). Water supply hose(s) • Check the hose(s) regularly for brittleness and cracks. • Regularly check and clean the mesh filter inside the inlet hose (see “Cleaning the mesh filter in the water supply hose(s)”). Do not use flammable fluids for cleaning the appliance. Detergent dispenser 1. Press the release lever in the main wash compartment downward and remove the dispenser (see light arrow). 2. Remove the cover grid from the softener compartment. Remove the separator from the main wash compartment by pulling it upwards (see dark arrows). 3. Wash all the parts under running water. 4. Refit the separator and the cover grid in the detergent dispenser and fit the dispenser back inside its housing. GB 8 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. A Cleaning the mesh filter in the water supply hose(s) 1. Close the tap and loosen the inlet hose on the tap. 2. Clean the internal mesh filter and screw the water inlet hose back onto the tap. 3. Now unscrew the inlet hose on the rear of the washing machine. 4. Pull off the mesh filter from the washing machine connection with universal pliers and clean it. 5. Refit the mesh filter and screw the inlet hose on again. 6. Turn on the tap and ensure that the connections are completely water-tight. B Safety valve inspection window C GB 9 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Depending on the model, your washing machine is equipped with various automatic safety functions. This enables faults to be detected in good time and the safety system can react appropriately. These faults are frequently so minor that they can be removed within a few minutes. The washing machine will not start, no indicator lamps are on. Machine vibrates during spin cycle. Check whether: • the washing machine is level and standing firmly on all four feet; • the transport bolts have been removed. Before using the machine, it is imperative that the transport bolts are removed. Check whether: • the mains plug is inserted into the socket; • the wall socket is functioning correctly (use a table lamp or similar appliance to test it). Final spin results are poor. The washing machine will not start... and the “Start/Pause” indicator lamp flashes. Check whether: • the door is properly closed (child safety); • the “Start/Pause” button has been pressed; • the “Water tap closed” indication lights up. Open the water tap and press the “Start/Pause” button. The appliance stops during the programme (varies depending on model) Check whether: • the “Anticrease” lamp lights up; terminate this option by pressing the “Start/Pause” button or by choosing and starting the “Drain” programme; • another programme has been selected and the “Start/Pause” indicator lamp is flashing. Reselect the desired programme and press the “Start/Pause” button. • the door has been opened and the “Start/ Pause” indicator lamp is flashing. Close the door and press the “Start/Pause” button again. • the washing machine’s safety system has been activated (see “Fault description table”). The washing machine has an imbalance detection and correction system. If individual heavy items are loaded (e.g. bathrobes), this system may reduce the spin speed automatically or even interrupt the spin completely if it detects too great an imbalance even after several spin starts, in order to protect the washing machine. • If the laundry is still too wet at the end of the cycle, add smaller articles of laundry and repeat the spin cycle. • Excessive foam formation may prevent spinning. Use the correct amount of detergent. • Check that the spin speed selector has not been set to “0”. If your washing machine has a time display: the programme time initially displayed is lengthened / shortened by a period of time: This is a normal capacity of the washing machine to adapt to factors that can have an effect on the wash programme time, e.g.: • excess foam formation; • load imbalance due to heavy items of laundry; Residue from detergent and additives left in the detergent drawer at end of wash. Check whether: • the cover grid of the softener chamber and the separator of the main wash chamber are correctly installed in the detergent dispenser and all parts are clean (see “Care And Maintenance”); • sufficient water is entering. The mesh filters of the water supply could be blocked (see “Care And Maintenance”); • the position of the separator in the main wash chamber is adapted to the use of powder or liquid detergent (see “Detergents And Additives”). • prolonged heating time due to reduced inlet water temperature; Because of influences like these, the time remaining in the programme run is recalculated, and updated if necessary. In addition, during the filling phase, the washing machine determines the load and if necessary adjusts the initial programme time displayed accordingly. During such update periods, an animation appears on the time display. GB 10 Fault description table Red indication light is on “Water tap closed” “Clean pump” “Service” Digital display (if fitted on your machine) Fault description “FH” “FP” from “F02” to “F35” “FA” “Fod” “Water supply fault” “Draining fault” “Electrical module fault” “Waterstop fault” “Overfoaming” a. “Water tap closed” indication lights up The appliance has no or insufficient water supply.
