HINTS AND TIPS  
THE LAUNDRY LOAD  
DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES  
• Divide the laundry in: white, col-  
oured, synthetics, delicates and wool.  
• Only use detergents and additives  
specially made for washing machines.  
• Obey the washing instructions that  
are on the laundry care labels.  
• Do not mix different types of deter-  
gents.  
• Do not wash together white and col-  
oured items.  
• Some coloured items can discolour  
with the first wash. We recommend  
that you wash them separately for the  
first times.  
• To help the environment, do not use  
more than the correct quantity of de-  
tergent.  
• Obey the instructions that you find  
on the on packaging of these prod-  
ucts.  
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,  
hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.  
• Empty the pockets and unfold the  
items.  
• Use the correct products for the type  
and colour of the fabric, the pro-  
gramme temperature and the level of  
soil.  
• If you use liquid detergents, do not  
set the prewash phase.  
• If your appliance has not the deter-  
gent dispenser with the flap device,  
add the liquid detergents with a dos-  
ing ball.  
• Turn inside out multilayered fabrics,  
wool and items with painted illustra-  
tions.  
• Remove hard stains.  
• Wash with a special detergent heavy  
soil stains.  
• Be careful with the curtains. Remove  
the hooks or put the curtains in a  
washing bag or pillowcase.  
• Do not wash in the appliance :  
– Laundry without hems or with cuts  
– Underwired bras.  
– Use a washing bag to wash small  
items.  
• A very small load can cause balance  
problems with the spin phase. If this  
occurs, adjust manually the items in  
the tub and start the spin phase  
again.  
WATER HARDNESS  
If the water hardness in your area is  
high or moderate, we recommend that  
you use a water softener for washing  
machines. In areas where the water  
hardness is soft it is not necessary to  
use a water softener.  
To know the water hardness in your  
area, contact your local water authority.  
Obey the instructions that you find on  
the packaging of the products.  
Equivalent scales measure the water  
hardness:  
• German degrees (°dH).  
• French degrees (°TH).  
STUBBORN STAINS  
• mmol/l (millimol for each litre - inter-  
national unit for the hardness of wa-  
ter).  
For some stains, water and detergent is  
not sufficient.  
We recommend that you remove these  
stains before you put the items in the  
appliance.  
• Clarke degrees.  
Special stain removers are available.  
Use the special stain remover that is ap-  
plicable to the type of stain and fabric.

CARE AND CLEANING  
WARNING!  
CAUTION!  
Do not use alcohol, solvents or  
chemical products.  
Disconnect the appliance from the  
mains supply before you clean it.  
MAINTENANCE WASH  
With the low temperature programmes  
it is possible that some detergent stays  
in the drum. Make regularly a mainte-  
nance wash. To do this:  
• Empty the laundry from the drum.  
• Set the hottest cotton wash pro-  
gramme  
• Use a correct quantity of powder de-  
tergent with biological properties.  
After each wash, keep the door open  
for a while to prevent mould and to let  
unpleasant smells go out.  
DESCALING  
The water we use contains limescale. If  
it becomes necessary, use a water soft-  
ener to remove limescales.  
Use a special product made for wash-  
ing machines. Obey the instructions  
that you find on the packaging of the  
manufacturer.  
Do this separately from the laundry  
wash.  
EXTERNAL CLEANING  
Clean the appliance only with soap and  
warm water. Fully dry all the surfaces.  
DOOR SEAL  
Regularly examine the seal and remove  
all objects from the inner part.  
• Clean the drum with special product  
for stainless steel.  
• Start a short programme for cotton at  
the maximum temperature with a  
small quantity of detergent.  
DRUM  
Regularly examine the drum to prevent  
limescale and rust particles.  
Only use special products to remove  
rust particles from the drum.

12. Replace the plastic spacers with  
the plastic caps. You can find these  
caps in the user manual bag.  
– We recommend that you  
keep the packaging and the  
transit bolts for when you  
move the appliance.  
– If the appliance is delivered in  
the winter months when there  
are minus temperatures. Store  
it at room temperature for 24  
hours before using for the first  
time.  
POSITIONING AND LEVELLING  
• Install the appliance on a flat hard  
floor.  
• Make sure that carpets do not stop  
the air circulation below the appli-  
ance.  
• Make sure that the appliance does  
not touch the wall or other units  
• Loosen or tighten the feet to adjust  
the level. A correct adjustment of the  
appliance level prevents the vibra-  
tion, noise and the movement of the  
appliance when in operation.

• The appliance must be level and sta-  
ble.  
CAUTION!  
Do not put cardboard, wood or  
equivalent materials below the  
appliance feet to adjust the lev-  
el.  
THE INLET HOSE

• Connect the water inlet hose to the  
cold water tap with 3/4 thread.  
CAUTION!  
Make sure that there are no  
leaks from the couplings.  
Do not use an extension hose if  
the inlet hose is too short. Con-  
tact the service centre for the re-  
placement of the inlet hose.

Water-stop device  
The inlet hose has a water stop device.  
This device prevents water leaks in the  
hose because of its natural ageing. The  
red sector in the window «A» shows this  
fault .  
If this occur, close the water tap and  
contact the service centre to replace  
the hose.  
A
WATER DRAINAGE  
There are different procedures to con-  
nect the drain hose:  
With the plastic hose guide.  
• On the edge of a sink.  
• Make sure that the plastic guide can-  
not move when the appliance drains.  
Attach the guide to the water tap or  
the wall.  
• To a stand pipe with vent-hole.  
Refer to the illustration. Directly into  
a drain pipe at a height of not less  
than 60 cm and not more than 100  
cm. The end of the drain hose must  
always be ventilated , i.e. the inner  
diameter of the drainpipe must be  
larger than the external diameter of  
the drain hose.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
34  
Without the plastic hose guide.  
• To a sink spigot.  
Refer to the illustration. Put the drain  
hose in the spigot and tighten it with  
a clip. Make sure that the drain hose  
makes a loop to prevent that remain-  
ing particles go in the appliance from  
the sink.  
• Directly to a built-in drain pipe in the  
room wall and tighten it with a clip.  
You can extend the drain hose  
to maximum 400 cm. Contact  
the service centre for the other  
drain hose and the extension.
