Manual

HINTS AND TIPS

Sort your laundry according to

Type of fabric/care label (cotton, mixed fibres, synthetics, wool,

handwash items). Colour (separate coloured and white items, wash

new coloured items separately). Delicates (wash small items – like nylon

stockings – and items with hooks – like bras – in a cloth bag or pillow

case with zip).

Empty all pockets

Objects like coins or lighters can damage your laundry as well as the

drum.

Appliance interior

If you never or seldom wash your laundry at 90°C, we recommend to

occasionally run a 90°C programme without laundry, adding a small

amount of detergent, to keep the interior of the appliance clean.

Follow the dosage recommendation / additives

It optimizes the cleaning result, it avoids irritating residues of surplus

detergent in your laundry and it saves money by avoiding waste of

surplus detergent

Use low temperature and longer duration

The most ecient programmes in terms of energy consumption are

generally those that perform at lower temperatures and longer duration.

Observe the load sizes

Load your washing machine up to the capacity indicated in the

“PROGRAMME CHART” table to save water and energy.

Noise and remaining moisture content

They are inuenced by the spinning speed: the higher the spinning

speed in the spinning phase, the higher the noise and the lower the

remaining moisture content.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

For any cleaning and maintenance, switch off and unplug the washing

machine. Do not use flammable fluids to clean the washing machine.

Clean and maintain your washing machine periodically (at least 4 times

per year).

Cleaning the outside of the washing machine

Use a soft damp cloth to clean the outer parts of the washing machine.

Do not use glass or general purpose cleaners, scouring powder or

similar to clean the control panel – these substances might damage the

printing.

Detergent dispenser

Clean regularly, at least three or four times a year, to prevent detergent

build-up:

Press the release button  to release the detergent dispenser and

remove it. A small quantity of water can remain in the dispenser, thus

you should carry it in an upright position. Wash the dispenser using

running water. You can also remove the siphon cap on the back of the

dispenser for cleaning. Replace the siphon cap in the dispenser (if

removed) Reinstall the dispenser by locating the dispenser’s bottom

tabs into the appropriate openings on the lid, and by pushing the

dispenser against the lid until it locks into place. Make sure that the

detergent dispenser is correctly reinstalled.

Checking the water supply hose

Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and cracks. If damaged,

replace it by a new hose available through our After-Sales Service or

your specialist dealer. Depending on the hose type: If the inlet hose has

a transparent coating, periodically check if the colour intensifies locally.

If yes, the hose may have a leak and should be replaced. For water stop

hoses (If availeable): check the small safety valve inspection

window (see arrow). If it is red, the water stop function was triggered,

and the hose must be replaced by a new one. For unscrewing this hose,

press the release button (if available) while unscrewing the hose.

Cleaning the mesh filters in the water supply hose

Check and clean regularly (at least two or three times a year).

Close the tap and loosen the inlet hose on the tap. Clean the internal

mesh filter and screw the water inlet hose back onto the tap. Now

unscrew the inlet hose on the rear of the washing machine. Pull off the

mesh filter from the washing machine connection with universal pliers

and clean it. Refit the mesh filter and screw the inlet hose on again. Turn

on the tap and ensure that the connections are completely water-tight.

Cleaning the water filter / draining residual water

The washing machine is provided with a self-cleaning pump. The filter

keeps objects like buttons, coins, safetypins etc. which have been left in

the laundry. If you used a hot wash programme, wait until the water has

cooled down before draining any water. Clean the water filter regularly,

to avoid that the water cannot drain after the wash due to obstruction

of the filter. If the water cannot drain, the indicator indicates that the

water filter may be clogged.

Open the filter cover with a coin. Place a broad, flat container beneath

the water filter, to collect the drain water. Slowly turn the filter

counterclockwise until water flows out. Let the water flow out, without

removing the filter. When the container is full, close the water filter by

turning it in clockwise. Empty the container. Repeat this procedure until

all the water has drained. Lay a cotton cloth beneath the water filter,

which can absorb a small amount of rest water. Then remove the water

filter by turning it out anti clockwise. Clean the water filter (remove

residues in the filter and clean it under running water) and the filter

chamber. Make sure the pump impeller (in the housing behind the

filter) is not obstructed. Insert the water filter and close the filter cover:

Reinsert the water filter again by turning it in clockwise direction. Make

sure to turn it in as far as it goes. To test water tightness of the water

filter, you can pour about 1 liter of water into the drum and check that

water does not leak from the filter. Then close the filter cover.

Lid seal

Check the condition of the lid seal periodically and clean it from time to

time with a damp cloth.

Recovering an object that falls between the drum and the tub

If an object accidentally falls between the drum and the tub, you can

recover it thanks to one of the removable drum lifters.

Unplug the washing machine. Remove the laundry from the drum.

Close the drum flaps and turn the drum a half-turn (picture a). Using a

screw-driver press on the plastic end, while sliding the lifter from left to

right (picture b, c) by hand it will fall into the drum. Open the drum. You

can recover the object through the hole in the drum. Refit the lifter

from inside the drum: Position the plastic tip above the hole on the

right side of the drum (picture d). Then slide the plastic lifter from right

to left until it clips. Close the drum flaps again, turn the drum through

half a turn and check the positioning of the blade at all its anchorage

points. Plug the washing machine in again.

TRANSPORT AND HANDLING

Pull out the mains plug, and close the water tap. Disconnect the inlet

hose from the water tap, and remove the drain hose from your draining

point. Remove all rest water from the hoses and washing machine

and fix hoses so that they cannot get damaged during transport. To

facilitate moving the machine, pull the mobility lever situated at the

bottom front (if available on your model) out a little by hand. Pull the

washing machine out to the stop with the foot. Afterwards push the

mobility lever back into the original stable position. Refit the transport

bracket. Follow the instructions for removing the transport bracket in

the INSTALATION GUIDE in reverse order.
