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.

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.

where the floor is more stable.
Installation on a not hard floor
When you install the appliance on a not

• 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.
If you can not connect the water inlet
hose to the cold water tap of the pri-
mary hydraulic system, connect it to
your domestic cold water storage sys-
tem.
Make sure not to have more than a dis-
tance of 5.02 m (16.5 ft) between the
appliance inlet hose and the bottom of
the water storage tank.
Water pressure
The appliance works correctly if the wa-
ter pressure is not less than 0.05 MPa
(0.5 bar).

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.

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 (23.6”) and not more than
100 cm (39.3”). The end of the drain
hose must always be ventilated , i.e.
the inner diameter of the drainpipe
(min. 38 mm — min. 1.5”) must be
larger than the external diameter of
the drain hose.

• If the end of the drain hose is this
(see the drawing), you can push it di-
rectly into the stand pipe.
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.
