							Useful advice for users
Tips on using your domestic appliance in the most environmentally-friendly and economical
wayDo a full load in your washing machineTo prevent any possible waste of energy, water or detergent we recommend that you put a
full load in your washing machine, not exceed the maximum loads shown below:
Cotton and linen 3,5   kg
Mixed 2      kg
Very delicate 1,5   kg
Wool 1      kg
Up to 50% energy saving can be made with one full load compared to two half load washesWhen is prewashing really needed?Only with particularly dirty loads!
Energy savings of 5 to 15% are made by not selecting the prewash option for normal soiled
laundry.Which wash temperature should you choose?Using stain removers before machine washing reduces the need to wash at temperatures
over 60°C.
Energy savings of up to 50% can be made by using a 60°C wash temperature rather than
90°C

EXTRA RINSE buttonThis function will allow an extra rinse or more water added at the rinse stage – depending on
the programme selected. This is particularly important for avoiding skin irritation from
detergent residues for people with particularly sensitive skin. 
The extra rinse button is also recommended when washing heavily soiled fabrics, requiring
the use of a lot of detergent, or when washing items made of towelling, whose fibres have a
greater tendency to retain detergent.
E

NO SPIN buttonBy pressing this button it is possible to eliminate the spin-drying on all programmes. This
operation is suitable for programmes at 90°C and at 60°C in case of special treated fabrics
(cottonova or permanent press) or for mixed delicate fabrics.
D
WASH TEMPERATURE selector
Can be turned in either directionThis washing machine is equipped with this device for
setting the wash temperature you want. We recommend
that the temperature shown on the label inside garments
should never be exceeded. 
The most suitable temperature and cycle for each type of
fabric is shown in the programme guide.
To  p rotect fabrics, if the variable temperature dial has
accidentally been set too high than stated in the 
programme guide, the machine will lower the temperature automatically.

							Detergent drawer
The detergent draw is split into 2 compartments:
- the first, labelled "I", is for main wash detergent; 
- the second, labelled " " is for special additives, fabric
softeners, fragrances, starch, brighteners etc. 
When washing with bleach use the compartment 
for softener.
When pre-washing, put the detergent directly in the drum.
When selecting the “32 minute Rapid programme”, put the
detergent directly in the drum.Note: some detergents are difficult to remove. For these,
we recommend you use the special dispenser which is
placed in the drum. 
Note: only put liquid products in the second
compartments.
Programme selector
The washing machine has 3 different programme groups according to type of wash,
temperature and duration for handling the various types of fabric (see wash programme
guide).
1. Colourfast fabric
The programmes are designed for maximum washing and rinsing.
With spin stages in between, they guarantee the laundry is rinsed perfectly.
The final spin stage ensures laundry is wrung out as much as possible.
2. Mixed fibres and synthetics
Washing and rinsing performance is optimised through drum rotation 
speeds and water level. The delicate action spin minimises creasing.
3. Delicate fabrics, wool & extra delicate programme
This group of programmes have been specially designed to wash 
the most delicate fabrics 
Use the Delicate programme for delicate fabrics
Use the Woollens programme only for machine washable wool
Use the extra delicate programme for any machine washable handwash garments   
Main wash
Automatic Variable CapacityThe washing machine is fitted with an automatic reduction in consumption system (known as
Automatic Variable Capacity).
This system enables the machine to  use the amount of water needed to wash and rinse the
laundry in relation to the particular load.
This results in a reduction in the amount of water used and electricity needed to heat it to the
minimum required, without in any way compromising the washing and rinsing performance.
In fact the amount of water and electricity used will always be appropriate for the amount of
washing.
The washing machine therefore ensures you achieve excellent washing results whilst
respecting the environment and saving you money.

Sorting the laundry-  It is recommended you wash only items which are machine washable with water and 
detergent and not dry-clean items.
-  If you need to wash rugs, bedspreads or other heavy items, it is best not to spin them.
-  Sort the laundry according to fabric type, degree of soiling and wash temperature: Always
follow the wash care advice on the garment label for the most suitable care and 
treatment of the laundry 
Laundry for hot wash 
Coloured, easy-care materials 
Delicates and wool 
Wash by hand 
Items labelled with the following symbol are not suitable for machine washing:
Dry clean 
For very delicate items, such as net curtains, underwear, tights etc., you are advised to 
use a laundry net or wash bag.
-   Woollen items must be labelled with the "Pure New Wool" symbol to be washed in the 
machine  , and must also be labelled "non-matting" or "machine washable".
-   Colour often leaks from new coloured items.
This can then colour other lighter items being washed. 
We therefore  recommend that coloured items should be washed for the first time 
separately.
For future washes, colourfast items can only be washed with whites up to 40°C.Note: when sorting laundry-check there are no metal objects in the laundry
(such as paper clips, safety pins, pins, coins
etc...);
-button up pillowcases, fasten zips, hook & eye
fasteners, belts and long dressing gown cords;
-remove curtain hooks;
-pay close attention to the labels on items
-if you notice stubborn stains whilst sorting the
laundry, remove them using a special detergent or
a special stain remover.
-We recommend that you do not do a full load of towelling items only as these become too
heavy since they absorb a lot of water.

							DosagesOnly use detergents which are suitable for use in a washing machine.
You will obtain the best results from your wash with the minimum use of chemical products
and the best care for your laundry if you take into consideration the degree of soiling as well
as the type of detergent to choose.
The amount of detergent to use depends on:
-  water hardness: depending on the hardness of the water and the type of detergent used, it
is possible to reduce the amount of detergent.
-the degree of soiling: it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent used depending on
the degree of soiling.
-amount of laundry: it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent when washing only a
small amount of laundry.Dosage for powder detergentFor normal and low concentration detergents: for normally soiled laundry choose a
programme without prewash.
Put the detergent in compartment “I” of the drawer.
For heavily soiled laundry, choose the prewash programme before the main wash.
When using water softeners, first put in the detergent, then add the softener to compartment “I”.
For highly concentrated detergents not in single dose format, follow  what is shown on pack
exactly as regards type and amount of dosage.
To avoid the difficulty of checking if the detergent has been taken up, use the dosage aids
provided in the detergent packaging.Liquid detergent dosageLiquid detergents may be used in accordance with the instructions on the relevant
packaging, for all programmes without prewash, by using the special container which is
placed in the drum or, for those models that have it, in the special insert for liquid detergents.
Detergents, washing aids and amounts to useChoice of detergent
General purpose detergents - Powder detergents, for a thorough wash, with bleaching agent, particularly suitable for
use in hot wash programmes (60°C and over), for heavily soiled and stained laundry.
- Liquid detergents, particularly suitable for grease stains, such as greasy skin marks,
cosmetics and oil.
These detergents are not suitable for washing stained laundry, as they do not contain
bleach.
-Biological detergents, not all the products available give a really thorough wash.Special detergents-Detergents for coloureds and delicates, without added bleach, also often without any
optical brightening agents, to preserve the colour.
-Detergents for a thorough wash, without added bleach or enzymes, particularly suitable
for handling woollen fibres.
-Detergents for curtainswith optical brightening agents, resistant to light, to prevent
yellowing from sunlight.
-Special detergentsfor programmed use of chemical substances, depending on fabric
type, degree of soiling and water hardness.
Here basic detergents, softeners, bleaches/stain removers can be added separately.Additional laundry aids-Water softener, means less detergent can be used where water hardness is classed as
hard to very hard.
-Prewash substances, for the programmed treatment of stains prior to the main wash.
Using them means the subsequent wash can be at a low temperature or with bleach-free
detergents.
-Fabric softener, prevents static build-up in synthetic fabrics and softens fabrics.
If you own a tumble dryer, clothes are softened even without the use of a fabric softener.
Do not put solvents in the washing machine!
Keep detergents and other laundry products out of children’s reach.
Before pouring in the detergent check that there are no foreign bodies in the detergent
drawer.
Dosage details are usually shown on the detergent packaging. Follow those instructions.

							Transporting the appliance or long
periods when appliance is not in
useIf the appliance is being transported or is out of use for
long periods in unheated places, all remaining water
must be completely removed from the hoses.
Ensure mains power is off, then unclip the hose and
point it downwards into a basin until all the water has
emptied out.
When finished, repeat the operation in the reverse order.
Cleaning and routine maintenance
Do not use alcohol-based scourers and /or thinners on the outside of your washing machine,
just a wipe with a damp cloth will suffice. The washing machine needs very little maintenance:
- Cleaning the drawer compartments.
- Cleaning the filter.Cleaning the drawer compartmentsEven if it is not strictly necessary, it is good to clean the
compartments for bleaching detergents and additives
occasionally.
A) To do this you just need to pull them out firmly, but
without forcing them.
B) Clean everything in the compartment under running
water.
C) Put everything back in its proper place.Cleaning the filterThe washing machine is fitted with a special filter for
handling large deposits which could block the discharge
hose (coins, buttons etc.) and which can, therefore, be
easily retrieved.
We recommend that the filter be cleaned at least
once a month.
The cleaning operation is as follows:
1)  Open the lid as shown in picture.
2)  Turn the filter anti-clockwise until it stops 
in the vertical position.
Remove and clean.
3)   After cleaning, replace by turning the notch on the end 
of the filter clockwise. Then follow all procedures 
described above in reverse order.
4)   Close the lid.Attention: if the filter needs cleaning while there is
washing still in the drum, follow the instructions on the
following page to empty the water. This will prevent
excessive loss of water via the filter.
