1) If you select the SUPER QUICK option by pressing button 5, we recommend that you reduce the maximum
load as indicated. Full loading is possible however with somewhat reduced cleaning results.
2) In case of prewash phase, put the detergent directly into the drum.
3) Standard programmes for the Energy Label consumption values
According to regulation 1061/2010, the “COTTONS ECONOMY 60 °C” and “COTTONS ECONOMY 40
°C” are respectively the “standard 60 °C cotton programme” and the “standard 40 °C cotton programme”.

							They are the most efficient programmes in terms of combined energy and water consumptions for washing
normally soiled cotton laundry.
The water temperature of the washing phase may differ from the temperature declared for the selected
programme.
Consumption values
The data of this table are approximate. Different causes can change the data: the quantity and

							Care and cleaning

possible to get a build up of residues inside the
drum.
We recommend that a maintenance wash be
performed on a regular basis.

The washing powder and additive dispenser
drawer should be cleaned regularly.
• Remove the drawer.
• To aid cleaning,
the top part of the
additive compart-
ment should be re-
moved.
• Use a stiff brush to clean and remove all
washing powder residue.
• Clean all the removed parts of the dispens-
er drawer under a tap to remove any traces
of accumulated powder.
• Use the previous
brush to clean the
recess, ensuring
that upper and
lower part of it is
well cleaned.
After having cleaned the dispenser and the
drawer recess, replace it.
Cleaning the drain filter
The filter permits to hold fluff or foreign bodies
left unawares in the laundry.
The pump must be cleaned regularly.

a long time to fill with water, the starting button
flashes red or the display (if available) shows
the relevant alarm (see chapter "What to do
if..." for more details), check if the water inlet
filters are blocked .
To clean the water inlet filters:
• Turn off the water
tap.
• Unscrew the hose
from the tap.
• Clean the filter in
the hose with a stiff
brush.
• Screw the hose back onto the tap. Make
sure the connection is tight.

							What to do if…
The appliance does not start or stops during
operation. Certain problems are due to lack of
simple maintenance or oversights, which can
be solved with the help of the indications de-
scribed in the charts, without calling out an en-
gineer.
During appliance operation it is possible that
the red pilot light of the button 9 flashes, thedisplay shows a fault code and the buzzer
sounds to indicate that the appliance is not
working.

							MalfunctionPossible cause / Solution
The door will not open:
The programme is still running.
• Wait the end of washing cycle.
The door lock has not been released.
• Wait until the door lock is released.
Open the door when the pilot light 10 is off.
There is water in the drum.
• Select drain or spin programme to empty out the water.

The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the laundry is
not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is redistributed by reverse rota-
tion of the drum. This may happen several times before the unbalance disap-
pears and normal spinning can resume. If, after 10 minutes, the laundry is still
not evenly distributed in the drum, the appliance will not spin. In this case, re-
distribute the load manually and select the spin programme.
• Load more laundry.
The load is too small.
• Add more items, redistribute the load manually and then select the spinning
programme.
No water is visible in
the drum:Appliances based on modern technology operate very economically using very
little water without affecting performance.
Unsatisfactory washing
results
Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used.
• Increase the detergent quantity or use another one.
Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing.
• Use commercial products to treat the stubborn stains.
The correct temperature was not selected.
• Check if you have selected the correct temperature.
Excessive laundry load.
• Reduce the laundry load.
The appliance makes an
unusual noiseThe appliance is fitted with a type of motor which makes an unusual noise
compared with other traditional motors. This new motor ensures a softer start
and more even distribution of the laundry in the drum when spinning, as well as
increased stability of the appliance.
After completing these checks, switch on the
appliance and press the button 9 to restart the
programme.
