HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
The laundry load
• Divide the laundry in: white, coloured, synthetics, delicates and wool.
• Obey the washing instructions that are on the laundry care labels.
• Do not wash together white and coloured items.
• Some coloured items can discolour with the first wash. We recommend that you wash
them separately for the first times.
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers, hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.
• Empty the pockets and unfold the items.

Helpful hints and tips
23
• Turn inside out multilayered fabrics, wool and items with painted illustrations.
• 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.
Stubborn stains
For some stains, water and detergent is not sufficient.
We recommend that you remove these stains before you put the items in the appliance.
Special stain removers are available. Use the special stain remover that is applicable to the
type of stain and fabric.
Detergents and additives
• Only use detergents and additives specially made for washing machines.
• Do not mix different types of detergents.
• To help the environment, do not use more than the correct quantity of detergent.
• Obey the instructions that you find on the on packaging of these products.
• Use the correct products for the type and colour of the fabric, the programme tempera-
ture and the level of soil.
• If you use liquid detergents, do not set the prewash phase.
• If your appliance has not the detergent dispenser with the flap device, add the liquid
detergents with a dosing ball.
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).
• mmol/l (millimol for each litre - international unit for the hardness of water).
• Clarke degrees.

Positioning and levelling
• Install the appliance on a flat hard floor.
• Make sure that carpets do not stop the
air circulation below the appliance.
• 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 appli-
ance level prevents the vibration, noise
and the movement of the appliance
when in operation.

Installation
CAUTION!
Do not put cardboard, wood or equivalent materials below the appliance feet to adjust the
level.

• 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. Contact the service centre for
the replacement of the inlet hose.
Water-stop device
The inlet hose has a water stop device. This
device prevents water leaks in the hose be-
cause of its natural ageing. The red sector
in the window «A» shows this fault .
If this occur, close the water tap and con-
tact the service centre to replace the hose.

Water drainage
There are different procedures to connect the drain hose:
With the plastic hose guide.
• On the edge of a sink.
• Make sure that the plastic guide cannot
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 venti-
lated , i.e. the inner diameter of the
drainpipe must be larger than the exter-
nal diameter of the drain hose.
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 remaining
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 mm. Contact the service centre for the
other drain hose and the extension.
