Helpful hints and tips
Sorting out the laundry
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric
first with acetone*, then with acetic acid; treat any
residual marks on white fabrics with bleach and then
rinse thoroughly.
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated
spirits or benzine, then rub with detergent paste.
Detergents and additives
Good washing results also depend on the choice of
detergent and use of the correct quantities to avoid
waste and protect the environment.
Although biodegradable, detergents contain
substances which, in large quantities, can upset the
delicate balance of nature.
Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label
and the manufacturer’s washing instructions. Sort the
laundry as follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics,
delicates, woollens.
Before loading the laundry
Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites
may lose their «whiteness» in the wash.
New coloured items may run in the first wash; they
should therefore be washed separately the first time.
Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and
poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.
Remove persistent stains before washing.
Rub particularly soiled areas with a special detergent
or detergent paste.
The choice of detergent will depend on the type of
fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the colour,
washing temperature and degree of soiling.
All commonly available washing machine detergents
may be used in this appliance:
Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or tie
them up in a bag or net.
Removing stains
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water
and detergent. It is therefore advisable to treat them
prior to washing.
• powder detergents for all types of fabric
• powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C max)
and woollens
• liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature
wash programmes (60°C max) for all types of fabric,
or special for woollens only.
The detergent and any additives must be placed in
the appropriate compartments of the dispenser
drawer before starting the wash programme.
If using liquid detergents, a programme without
prewash must be selected.
Your appliance incorporates a recirculation system
which allows an optimal use of the concentrated
detergent.
Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations
on quantities to use and do not exceed the «MAX»
mark in the detergent dispenser drawer.
Quantity of detergent to be used
Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried
stains, soak overnight in water with a special
detergent then rub in the soap and water.
Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain remover,
lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain;
treat several times.
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay the
garment on a soft surface and dab the stain with the
fingertips and a cotton cloth.
Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust
removing product used cold. Be careful with rust
stains which are not recent since the cellulose
structure will already have been damaged and the
fabric tends to hole.
Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whites
and fast coloureds only).
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and
fast coloureds only).
The type and quantity of detergent will depend
on the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling
and hardness of the water used.
Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions
on quantities to use.
Use less detergent if:
• you are washing a small load
• the laundry is lightly soiled
• large amounts of foam form during washing.
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone*, lay
the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat
stains with methylated spirits. Treat any residual
marks with bleach.
Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and
treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse. Treat any
residual marks with bleach.
*
do not use acetone on artificial silk.

Degrees of water hardness
Water hardness is classified in so-called
«degrees» of hardness. Information on hardness
of the water in your area can be obtained from
the relevant water supply company, or from your
local authority.
When the degree of hardness is soft, re-adjust
the quantity of the detergent.
First Use
• Ensure that the electrical and water connections
comply with the installation instructions.
• Remove any material from the drum.

out any cleaning or maintenance work.
Cleaning the pump
Important!
According to the soil level within the cycles and the
frequency of the cycles, you have to inspect and
clean the filter regularly.

The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good
idea to periodically use a water softening powder in
the machine.
Do this separately from any laundry washing, and
according to the softening powder manufacturer's
instructions.
The pump should be inspected if:
• the machine does not empty and/or spin;
• the machine makes an unusual noise during
draining due to objects such as safety pins, coins
etc. blocking the pump.
This will help to prevent the formation of lime
deposits.
Proceed as follows:
1 disconnect the appliance;
2 if necessary wait until the water has cooled down.
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap
and water only, and then dry thoroughly.
