3. Put the laundry in the drum, one item at a time. Shake the items before you put them  
in the appliance.  
4. On the display the weight of the laundry updates by step of kg 0.5. The weight is indi-  
cative and changes with the type of the laundry.  
If you put more laundry than the maximum load, the display tells that you put more than  
the maximum load.  
You can wash your laundry but the energy and water consumption increase.  
To have the best consumption and washing performance remove some items.  
The overload indication is available only for programmes with a maximum load lower than  
the appliance maximum load.  
5. Close the door. The text bar on the display tells the percentage of detergent to use. This  
data is indicative and refers to the detergent quantity for a maximum load that the  
manufacturer recommends.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS  
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 together white and coloured items.  
• Some coloured items can discolour with the first wash. We recommend that you wash  
them separately for the first times.  
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers, hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.  
• Empty the pockets and unfold the items.  
 
Helpful hints and tips  
23  
• Turn inside out multilayered fabrics, wool and items with painted illustrations.  
• Remove hard stains.  
• Wash with a special detergent heavy soil stains.  
• Be careful with the curtains. Remove the hooks or put the curtains in a washing bag or  
pillowcase.  
• Do not wash in the appliance :  
– Laundry without hems or with cuts  
– Underwired bras.  
– Use a washing bag to wash small items.  
• A very small load can cause balance problems with the spin phase. If this occurs, adjust  
manually the items in the tub and start the spin phase again.  
Stubborn stains  
For some stains, water and detergent is not sufficient.  
We recommend that you remove 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.  
Detergents and additives  
• Only use detergents and additives specially made for washing machines.  
• Do not mix different types of detergents.  
• To help the environment, do not use more than the correct quantity of detergent.  
• Obey the instructions that you find on the on packaging of these products.  
• Use the correct products for the type and colour of the fabric, the programme tempera-  
ture and the level of soil.  
• If you use liquid detergents, do not set the prewash phase.  
• If your appliance has not the detergent dispenser with the flap device, add the liquid  
detergents with a dosing ball.  
Water hardness  
If the water hardness in your area is high or moderate, we recommend that you use a water  
softener for washing machines. 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.  
Obey the instructions that you find on the packaging of the products.  
Equivalent scales measure the water hardness:  
• German degrees (°dH).  
• French degrees (°TH).  
• mmol/l (millimol for each litre - international unit for the hardness of water).  
• Clarke degrees.

CARE AND CLEANING  
WARNING!  
Disconnect the appliance from the mains supply before you clean it.  
Descaling  
The water we use contains limescale. If it becomes necessary, use a water softener to re-  
move limescales.  
Use a special product made for washing machines. Obey the instructions that you find on  
the packaging of the manufacturer.  
Do this separately from the laundry wash.  
External cleaning  
Clean the appliance only with soap and warm water. Fully dry all the surfaces.  
CAUTION!  
Do not use alcohol, solvents or chemical products.  
Maintenance wash  
With the low temperature programmes it is possible that some detergent stays in the drum.  
Make regularly a maintenance wash. To do this:  
• Empty the laundry from the drum.  
• Set the hottest cotton wash programme  
• Use a correct quantity of powder detergent with biological properties.  
After each wash, keep the door open for a while to prevent mould and to let unpleasant  
smells go out.  
 
Care and cleaning

WARNING!  
Remove all the packaging and the transit bolts before you install the appliance.  
We recommend that you keep the packaging and the transit bolts for when you move the  
appliance.  
Positioning and levelling  
• Install the appliance on a flat hard floor.  
• Make sure that carpets do not stop the  
air circulation below the appliance.  
• Make sure that the appliance does not  
touch the wall or other units  
• Loosen or tighten the feet to adjust the  
level. A correct adjustment of the appli-  
ance level prevents the vibration, noise  
and the movement of the appliance  
when in operation.  
x4  
• The appliance must be level and stable.  
 
36  
Installation  
CAUTION!  
Do not put cardboard, wood or equivalent materials below the appliance feet to adjust the  
level.  
The inlet hose  
• Connect the hose to the appliance. Turn  
the inlet hose only left or right. Loose the  
ring nut to set it in the correct position.  
45O  
35O  
• Connect the water inlet hose to the cold  
water tap with 3/4 thread.  
CAUTION!  
Make sure that there are no leaks from the  
couplings.  
Do not use an extension hose if the inlet hose is too short. Contact the service centre for  
the replacement of the inlet hose.  
Water-stop device  
The inlet hose has a water stop device. This  
device prevents water leaks in the hose be-  
cause of its natural ageing. The red sector  
in the window «A» shows this fault .  
If this occur, close the water tap and con-  
tact the service centre to replace the hose.

Water drainage  
There are different procedures to connect the drain hose:  
With the plastic hose guide.  
• On the edge of a sink.  
• Make sure that the plastic guide cannot  
move when the appliance drains. Attach  
the guide to the water tap or the wall.  
• To a stand pipe with vent-hole.  
Refer to the illustration. Directly into a  
drain pipe at a height of not less than 60  
cm and not more than 100 cm. The end  
of the drain hose must always be venti-  
lated , i.e. the inner diameter of the  
drainpipe must be larger than the exter-  
nal diameter of the drain hose.  
Without the plastic hose guide.  
• To a sink spigot.  
Refer to the illustration. Put the drain  
hose in the spigot and tighten it with a  
clip. Make sure that the drain hose  
makes a loop to prevent that remaining  
particles go in the appliance from the  
sink.  
 
38  
• Directly to a built-in drain pipe in the  
room wall and tighten it with a clip.  
You can extend the drain hose to maximum 400 mm. Contact the service centre for the  
other drain hose and the extension.
