Spin

Each wash cycle has a pre-dened spin speed. To modify the spin speed,

press the button. The value will appear on the display.

Cleaning Action

Option makes it possible to optimise washing based on the level of

soil in the fabrics and on desired wash cycle intensity.

Select the wash programme: the cycle will be automatically set to

“Normal” as optimised for garments with an average level of soil (this

setting is not applicable to the “Wool” cycle, which is automatically set to

“Sanft”).

For heavily-soiled garments press button until the “Intensiv” level

is reached. This level ensures a high-performance wash due to a larger

quantity of water used in the initial phase of the cycle and due to

increased drum rotation. It is useful when removing the most stubborn

stains.

For lightly-soiled garments or a more delicate treatment of the fabrics,

press button until the “Sanft” level is reached. The cycle will reduce

drum rotation to ensure washing results that are perfect for delicate

garments.

CHILD LOCK

To activate the control panel lock, press and hold the button for

approximately 2 seconds. When the indicator light is lit, the control panel

is locked (except for the ON/OFF button). This will prevent accidental

modications to wash cycles, especially when children are at home. To

deactivate the control panel lock, press and hold the button for

approximately 2 seconds.

TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS

Divide the laundry according to:

Type of fabric (cotton, mixed bres, synthetics, wool, garments to be

hand-washed). Colour (separate coloured garments from whites, wash

new coloured garments separately). Delicates (small garments – such as

nylon stockings – and items with hooks – such as bras: insert them in a

fabric bag).

Empty the pockets:

Objects such as coins or lighters can damage the washing machine and

the drum. Check all buttons.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Before performing cleaning and maintenance, switch the washing machine

o and disconnect it from the mains power. Do not use ammable liquids to

clean the washing machine.

Cutting o the water and electricity supplies

Close the water tap after every wash. This will limit wear on the hydraulic

system inside the washing machine and help to prevent leaks.

Unplug the washing machine when cleaning it and during all

maintenance work.

Cleaning the washing machine

The outer parts and rubber components of the appliance can be cleaned

using a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or

abrasives.

The washing machine has a “Auto-Clean” cycle for its internal parts; it

must be run without any load in the drum.

To optimise this cycle, it is possible to use either detergent (10% of the

quantity specied for lightly soiled garments) or special additives to clean

the washing machine. We recommend running a cleaning cycle every 40

wash cycles.

To start the programme press button for 5 seconds.

The cycle will start automatically and will run for about 70 minutes. To

stop the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer

Remove the dispenser drawer by lifting and pulling it outwards. Wash it

under running water; this procedure should be eected regularly.

Caring for the door and drum

Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant

odours from forming.

Cleaning the pump

The washing machine is tted with a self-cleaning pump that does not require

any maintenance. Small items (such as coins or buttons) may sometimes fall

into the protective pre-chamber situated at the base of the pump.

! Make sure that the wash cycle has ended and unplug the appliance.

To access the pre-chamber:

1. remove the covering panel on the front side of the machine by inserting

a screwdriver in the centre and sides of the panel and using it as a lever;

2. loosen the drainage pump cover by turning it anti-clockwise: it is

normal for some water to leak out;

3. clean the inside thoroughly;

4. screw the cover back on;

5. put the panel back in place, making sure the hooks slot in place before

pushing the panel onto the appliance.

Checking the water inlet hose

Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If it is cracked or broken, it

must be replaced: during wash cycles, the high pressure of the water

could suddenly split the hose open.

! Never use hoses that have already been used.

LOAD BALANCING SYSTEM

Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations before every

spin and to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates

continuously at a speed which is slightly greater than the washing

rotation speed. If, after several attempts, the load is not balanced

correctly, the machine spins at a reduced spin speed. If the load is

excessively unbalanced, the washing machine performs the distribution

process instead of spinning. To encourage improved load distribution and

balance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed in the load.

ACCESSORIES

Contact our Technical Assistance Service to check whether the following

accessories are available for this washing machine model.

Stacking kit

With this accessory you can secure the tumble dryer to the upper part of

your washing machine to save space and facilitate loading and unloading

of the tumble dryer.

TRANSPORT AND HANDLING

Do not lift the washing machine by gripping it from the upper section.

Unplug the appliance and close the water tap. Check that the door and

detergent dispenser drawer are tightly closed. Detach the lling hose

from the water tap then detach the drain hose. Empty all the water

remaining in the hoses and secure the latter so that they do not get

damaged during transport. Apply the transport bolts back on. Repeat, in

reverse order, the transport bolt removal procedure described in the

“Installation instructions”.
