Hints and tips

Please refer to the "Safety information" sections.

The laundry load

• Divide the laundry in: white, coloured, synthetics, delicates and wool.
• Obey the washing instructions that are on the laundry care labels.
• Do not wash white and coloured items together.
• Some coloured items can discolour with the first wash. We recommend that you wash them separately for the first times.
• Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and items with painted illustrations inside out.
• Remove hard stains with a special detergent.
• Wash and pre-treat heavy soil stains with a suitable detergent before putting in drum.
• Be careful with the curtains. Remove the hooks and put the curtains in a washing bag or pillowcase.
• Do not wash laundry without hems or with cuts. Use a washing bag to wash small and/or delicate items (e.g. underwired bras, belts, tights, shoelaces, ribbons, etc. ).
• A very small load can cause balance problems with the spin phase leading to excessive vibration. If this occurs:
  • interrupt the program and open the door (please refer to the "Daily Use" section);
  • manually redistribute the load so that the items are spaced evenly around the tub;
  • press the "Start/Pause button". The spin phase continues.
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers, hooks and poppers. Tie up belts, cords, shoelaces, ribbons and any other loose elements.
• Empty the pockets and unfold the items.

Stubborn stains

For some stains, water and detergent is not sufficient.
We recommend that you pre-treat these stains before you put the items in the appliance.
Special stain removers are available. Use the special stain remover that is applicable to the type of stain and fabric. Do not spray stain remover on garments near the appliance as it is corrosive to the plastic parts.

Detergent type and quantity

The choice of detergent and use of correct quantities not only affects your wash performance, but also helps to avoid waste and protect the environment:

• Use only detergents and other treatments specially made for washer extractors. First, follow these generic rules:
  • powder detergents for all types of fabric, excluding delicate. Prefer powder detergents containing bleach for whites and laundry sanitization,
  • liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature wash programs (60°C max) for all types of fabric, or special ones for woollens only.
• The choice and quantity of detergent will depend on: type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc), the colour of clothes, size of the load, degree of soiling, wash temperature and hardness of the water used.
• Follow the instructions that you find on packaging of the detergents or other treatments without exceeding the indicated maximum level (MAX).
• Do not mix different types of detergents.
• Use less detergent if:
  • you are washing a small load,
  • the laundry is lightly soiled,
  • there is large amounts of foam during washing.
• When using detergent tabs or pods, always put them inside the drum, not in the detergent dispenser.

Insufficient detergent may cause:

• unsatisfactory washing results,
• the wash load to turn grey,
• greasy clothes,
• mould in the appliance.

Excessive detergent may cause:

• sudsing,
• reduced washing effect,
• inadequate rinsing,
• a greater impact for the environment.

Ecological hints

To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these tips:

• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewash in order to save detergent, water and time.
• Loading the appliance to the maximum capacity indicated for each programs helps to reduce energy and water consumption.
• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.
• To use the correct quantity of detergent, refer to the quantity suggested by the detergent producer and check the water hardness of your domestic system. Please refer to the "Water hardness" section.
• Set the maximum possible spin speed for the selected program before drying your laundry in a tumble dryer. This will save energy during drying.

Water hardness

If the water hardness in your area is high or moderate, we recommend that you use a water softener for washer extractors. In areas where the water hardness is soft it is not necessary to use a water softener.
To know the water hardness in your area, contact your local water authority.
Use the correct quantity of the water softener. Obey the instructions that you find on the packaging of the product.

Care and cleaning

Please refer to the "Safety information" sections.

Periodic cleaning schedule

Periodic cleaning helps to extend the life of your appliance.
After each cycle, keep the door and the detergent dispenser slightly open to get air circulation and dry the humidity inside the appliance: this will prevent mildew and odours.
If the appliance is not used for a long time: close the water tap and unplug the appliance. Periodic cleaning schedule:

Descaling	Twice a year
Maintenance wash	Once a month
Clean door seal	Every two months
Clean drum	Every two months
Clean detergent dispenser	Every two months
Clean drain pump filter	Twice a year
Clean the inlet hose and the valve filter	Twice a year

Removing foreign objects

Make sure that pockets are empty and all loose elements are tied up before running your cycle. Please refer to "The laundry load" section in "Hints and tips" section.

External cleaning

Clean the appliance with soap and warm water only. Fully dry all the surfaces. Do not use a scouring pads or any scratching material.

Do not use alcohol, solvents or chemical products.

Do not clean the metal surfaces with chlorine-based detergent.

Descaling

If the water hardness in your area is high or moderate, we recommend that you use a water descaling product for washer extractors.
Regularly examine the drum to prevent limescale and rust particles.
To remove rust particles use only special products for washer extractors. Do this separately from the laundry wash. Always obey the instructions that you find on the packaging of the product.

Maintenance wash

With the low temperature programs it is possible that some detergent stays in the drum. Perform a maintenance wash regularly. To do this:

• Remove all laundry from the drum.
• Select the cotton program with the highest temperature without detergent.

Door seal

Regularly examine the seal and remove all objects from the inner part.

Cleaning the drum

Regularly examine the drum to prevent limescale and rust particles. Only use special products to remove rust particles from the drum. We suggest you to:

1. Clean the drum with special product for stainless steel.
2. Start a short program for cotton at the maximum temperature with a small quantity of detergent.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser

Cleaning the drain filter

Do not clean the drain filter if the water in the appliance is hot.
Regularly check the drain pump filter and make sure that it is clean. Repeat the steps 2 and 3 until the water stops flowing out.

Cleaning the inlet hoses and the valve filters

Clean regularly both (for hot and for cold water) inlet hoses and both valve filters.

Emergency drain

Because of a malfunction, the appliance cannot drain the water.
If this occurs, do steps 1–9 of the "Cleaning the drain filter" section. If necessary, clean the pump.
When you drain the water with the emergency drain procedure, you must activate the drain system again:

1. Put 2 litres of water in the main wash compartment of the detergent dispenser.
2. Start the program to drain the water.

Frost precautions

If the appliance is installed in an area where the temperature can be less than 0°C, remove the remaining water from the inlet hose and the drain pump.

1. Disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.
2. Close the water tap.
3. Put the two ends of the inlet hose in a container and let the water flow out of the hose.
4. Empty the drain pump. Please refer to the "Emergency drain" section.
