Manual

CHILD LOCK

You can lock the buttons of the control panel against improper use (e.g. by

children). Press both of the child lock buttons simultaneously and hold them

for at least 3 seconds. The key symbol on the display lights up. To

unlock the buttons again proceed in the same way.

BLEACHING

Wash your laundry in the desired programme, Cotton or Synthetics , adding

an appropriate amount of chlorine bleach to the Softener chamber (close

the lid carefully). Immediately after the end of the programme, turn the

“Programme selector” and start the desired programme again to eliminate

any residual bleach smell; if you want, you can add softener. Never put both

chlorine bleach and softener into the softener chamber at the same time.

HINTS AND TIPS

Sort your laundry according to

Type of fabric/care label (cotton, mixed fifibres, 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 95°C, we recommend to

occasionally run a 95°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 efficient 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 influenced 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

available): 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.
