machine washed and marked by the

“Pure virgin wool” symbol with the “Does

not mat” or “Machine washable” label.

A guide environmentally friendly and

economic use of your appliance.

Maximise The Load Size

! Achieve the best use of energy, water,

detergent and time by using the

recommended maximum load size.

Save up to 50% energy by washing a full

load instead of 2 half loads.

Do you need to pre-wash?

! For heavily soiled laundry only!

SAVE detergent, time, water and

between 5 to 15% energy consumption

by NOT selecting Prewash for slight to

normally soiled laundry.

Is a hot wash required?

! Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak

dried in stains in water before washing to

reduce the necessity of a hot wash

programme.

Save up to 50% energy by using a 60°C

wash programme.

Before using a drying programme…

! SAVE energy and time by selecting a

high spin speed to reduce the water

content in laundry before using a drying

programme.

Following is a quick guide with tips and

recommendations on detergent use at the

various temperatures. In any case, always

read the instructions on the detergent for

correct use and doses.

Load tips

Helpful suggestions for the user

When washing heavily soiled whites,

we recommend using cotton

programs of 60°C or above and a

normal washing powder (heavy duty)

that contains bleaching agents that at

medium/high temperatures provide

excellent results.

For washes between 40°C and 60°C

the type of detergent used needs to be

appropriate for the type of fabric and

level of soiling.

Normal powders are suitable for “white”

or colour fast fabrics with high soiling,

while liquid detergents or “colour

protecting” powders are suitable for

coloured fabrics with light levels of

soiling.

For washing at temperatures below

40°C we recommend the use of liquid

detergents or detergents specifically

labeled as suitable for low temperature

washing.

For washing wool or silk, only use

detergents specifically formulated for

these fabrics.

4. MAINTENANCE AND

CLEANING

To clean the washing machine exterior, use

a damp cloth, avoiding abrasives, alcohol

and/or solvents. The washing machine does

not require any special care for ordinary

cleaning: clean drawer compartments and

the filter; some tips on how to move the

machine or on long periods of disuse are

provided below.

! We recommend you clean the drawer to

avoid accumulating detergent and

additive residue.

! To do this, extract the drawer using slight

force, clean it with running water and

reinsert it in its housing.

! The washing machine comes with a

special filter able to trap large residue,

such as buttons or coins, which could

clog the drain.

! Only available on certain models: pull out

the corrugated hose, remove the stopper

and drain the water into a container.

! Before unscrewing the filter, we

recommend you place an absorbent cloth

under it to keep the floor dry.

! Turn the filter counter-clockwise to the

limit stop in the vertical position.

! Remove and clean the filter; when

finished, replace it turning it clockwise.

! Repeat the previous steps in reverse

order to reassemble all parts.

! Should the washing machine be stored in

an unheated room for a long period of

time, drain all water from tubes.

! Unplug the washing machine.

! Detach the tube from the strap and lower

it, fully draining water into a bowl.

! Secure the drain tube with the strap when

finished.

the rhythms of rotation of the drum and to

the water levels. The gentle spin, ensures a

reduced formation of creases in the fabric.

Delicates

This program alternates among moments of

work during breaks and is particularly

suitable for washing delicate fabrics. The

wash cycle and rinses are carried out with a

high level of water to ensure the best

performance.

Wool/Hand

This program performs a wash cycle

dedicated to the wool fabrics that can be

washed in a washing machine, or the

articles to be washed by hand.

DRYING

The drum changes direction during the

drying cycle to prevent the laundry from

tangling and producing even more drying.

Cool air is used during the last 10/20

minutes of the drying cycle to minimize

creasing.

Low Heat

Low temperature drying programme

recommended for synthetics and mixed

fibres (always refer to the laundry care label).

High Heat

High temperature drying programme

recommended for cottons and linen items

(always refer to the laundry care label).

Rapid W&D 59 Min

When you only have a few items to wash

and dry in a hurry, this 59 minute cycle

is the ideal time saver! Suitable for a light

1,5 kg load size (e.g. 4 shirts) or slightly

dirty fabrics, this cycle will wash, rinse, spin

and dry your garments in under an hour.

We recommend that you reduce the

detergent dosage when using this

programme to avoid wastage.

WARNING:

Dispensers used for concentrated

powders and liquid detergents must be

removed from the drum before

commencing the tumble drying

programmes.

7. DRYING CYCLE

! Drying guidance advice is general, but

practical experience of using the product

will help you to achieve the best drying

results.

! We recommend setting a lower drying

time than indicated, when first using the

appliance in order to establish the degree

of dryness required.

! We recommend not drying fabrics that

fray easily, such as rugs or garments with

a deep pile, in order to avoid air duct

clogging.

! We recommend that you sort the laundry

by the following methods:

- By drying care symbols, which are

displayed on the clothing labels

Suitable for tumble drying.

Tumble dry at high temperature.

Tumble dry at low temperature only.

DO NOT tumble dry.

- By size and thickness

Whenever the wash load is bigger than

the drying capacity, separate the clothes

according to thickness (e.g. towels from

thin underwear).

- By fabric type

Cottons/linen: towels, cotton jersey, bed

and table linen.

Synthetics: blouses, shirts, overalls, etc.

made of polyester or polyamide, as well

as for cotton/synthetic mixes.

! Only dry pre-spun laundry.

! The washer dryer can perform the

following types of drying:

- Low temperature drying programme

recommended for mixed fabrics

(synthetics/cotton) synthetic fabrics

( symbol on programme dial).

- High temperature drying programme

recommended for cotton, terry toweling,

linen, hemp fabrics, etc... ( symbol

on programme dial).

! Open the door.

! Fill with the laundry, not exceeding the

maximum drying load indicated in the

programme table. For large items (e.g.

sheets) or very absorbent items (e.g.

towels or jeans), it is a good idea to

reduce the load.

! Close the door.

If the fabric does not have a care label,

you should assume that it is not

suitable for drying.

During the drying phase the drum will

accelerate to a higher speed to

distribute the load and to optimize the

drying performance.

The correct way to dry

The appliance door is fitted with a

protective shield to prevent contact

with the glass door which can reach

high temperatures, during the drying

cycle.

It should not be necessary to remove

the shield from the machine during

the normal course of use.
