WEEE contains both polluting substances (which

can cause negative consequences for the

environment) and basic components (which can

be re-used). It is important to have WEEE

subjected to specific treatments, in order to

remove and dispose properly all pollutants, and

recover and recycle all materials. Individuals can

play an important role in ensuring that WEEE

does not become an environmental issue; it is

essential to follow some basic rules:

! WEEE should not be treated as household

waste;

! WEEE should be handed over to the relevant

collection points managed by the municipality or

by registered companies. In many countries, for

large WEEE, home collection could be present.

In many countries, when you buy a new

appliance, the old one may be returned to the

retailer who has to collect it free of charge on a

one-to-one basis, as long as the equipment is of

equivalent type and has the same functions as

the supplied equipment.

3. PRACTICAL TIPS

WARNING: when sorting laundry, make

sure:

- have eliminated metallic objects such as

hair clips, pins, coins, from laundry;

- to have buttoned pillow cases, closed

zips, tied loose belts and long robe

ribbons;

- to have removed rollers, hooks or clips

from curtains;

- to have carefully read clothing washing

labels;

- to have removed any persistent stains

using specific detergents.

! When washing rugs, bedcovers or other

heavy clothing, we recommend you avoid

the spinning cycle.

! To wash wool, make sure the item can be

machine washed and marked by the

“Pure virgin wool” symbol with the “Does

not mat” or “Machine washable” label.

A guide environmentally friendly and

economic use of your appliance.

Maximise The Load Size

! Achieve the best use of energy, water,

detergent and time by using the

recommended maximum load size.

Save up to 50% energy by washing a full

load instead of 2 half loads.

Do you need to pre-wash?

! For heavily soiled laundry only!

SAVE detergent, time, water and

between 5 to 15% energy consumption

by NOT selecting Prewash for slight to

normally soiled laundry.

Is a hot wash required?

! Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak

dried in stains in water before washing to

reduce the necessity of a hot wash

programme.

Save up to 50% energy by using a 60°C

wash programme.

Following is a quick guide with tips and

recommendations on detergent use at the

various temperatures. In any case, always

read the instructions on the detergent for

correct use and doses.

Load tips

Helpful suggestions for the user

When washing heavily soiled whites,

we recommend using cotton

programs of 60°C or above and a

normal washing powder (heavy duty)

that contains bleaching agents that at

medium/high temperatures provide

excellent results.

For washes between 40°C and 60°C

the type of detergent used needs to be

appropriate for the type of fabric and

level of soiling.

Normal powders are suitable for “white”

or colour fast fabrics with high soiling,

while liquid detergents or “colour

protecting” powders are suitable for

coloured fabrics with light levels of

soiling.

For washing at temperatures below

40°C we recommend the use of liquid

detergents or detergents specifically

labeled as suitable for low temperature

washing.

For washing wool or silk, only use

detergents specifically formulated for

these fabrics.

4. MAINTENANCE AND

CLEANING

To clean the washing machine exterior, use

a damp cloth, avoiding abrasives, alcohol

and/or solvents. To maintain a good wash

performance we recommend that the soap

drawer and pump filters are regularly

cleaned. A monthly service wash, using a

proprietary cleaner is also recommended.

! We recommend you clean the drawer to

avoid accumulating detergent and

additive residue.

! To do this, extract the drawer using slight

force, clean it with running water and

reinsert it in its housing.

! Ensure the siphon cap is correctly

refitted.

! The washing machine comes with a

special filter able to trap large residue,

such as buttons or coins, which could

clog the drain.

! Only available on certain models: pull out

the corrugated hose, remove the stopper

and drain the water into a container.

! Ensure all the water has been emptied

from the drum.

! Before unscrewing the filter, we

recommend you place an absorbent cloth

under it to keep the floor dry. A small

amount of water will come out of the filter

as you remove it - this is normal.

! Turn the filter counter-clockwise to the

limit stop.

! Remove and clean the filter; when

finished, replace it turning it clockwise.

The filter handle will be locked when it is

not possible to turn any further and the

handle is horizontal. Smearing a small

amount of liquid soap on the filter seal will

help refitting.

! Repeat the previous steps in reverse

order to reassemble all parts.

! Should the washing machine be stored in

an unheated room for a long period of

time, drain all water from tubes.

! Unplug the washing machine.

! Detach the tube from the drainage

system and clip on the rear of the

machine and lower it, fully draining water

into a bowl.

! Secure the drain tube with the drainage

system and clip on the rear of the

machine when finished.

! Keep the door glass and gasket clean.

To clean different types of fabrics and

various levels of dirt, the washing machine

has specific programs to meet every need

of washing (see table of programmes).

Rapid (14-30-44 Min.)

choose one of three programs available.

Daily 59 Min.

This specially designed programme

maintains the high quality wash performance

whilst greatly reducing the wash time. The

programme is designed for a reduced load

Mixed

The washing and rinsing optimise the speed

and rhythm of the drum action and water

levels. The gentle spin, ensures a reduced

formation of creases in the fabric.

OTHER ANOMALIES

Problem

Possible causes and practical solutions

The washing machine

does not work / start

Make sure the product is plugged into a working supply socket.

Make sure power is on.

Make sure the wall socket is working, testing it with another

appliance such as a lamp.

The door may not be correctly closed: open and close it again.

Check whether the required program was correctly selected and the

start button pressed.

Make sure the washing machine is not in pause or time delay mode.

Water leaked on the

floor near the

washing machine

This may be due to a leak from the seal between the tap, supply

hose and fill valve; in this case, replace it and tighten the hose

connections correctly.

Make sure the front filter is correctly closed.

The washing machine

does not spin

The machine is fitted with a detection system that protects the load

and product from damage if the load is not balanced before spinning.

This may result in:-

• The machine attempts to balance the load, increasing the time of

spin.

• Reduction of the speed of spin to decrease vibrations and noise.

• The spin cycle aborting to protect the machine and load.

If this is experienced remove the load de-tangle it, reload it and

restart the spin program.

This could be due to the fact that water has not been completely

drained: wait a few minutes. If the problem persists, see Error 3

section.

Some models include a "no spin" function: make sure it is not

selected.

Check which options are selected and their effect on the spin cycle.

Excessive detergent can impede the spin cycle, ensure the correct

amount of detergent is being used.

Strong vibrations /

noises are heard

during the spin cycle

The washing machine may not be fully levelled: if necessary, adjust

the feet as indicated in the specific section.

Make sure transport screws, rubber bungs and spacer tubes were

removed.

Make sure there are no foreign objects inside the drum (coins,

hinges, buttons, etc…).

The standard manufacturer warranty covers faults caused by electrical or

mechanical faults in the product due to an act or omission of the manufacturer. If

a fault is found to be caused by factors outside the product supplied, miss-use or

as a result of the instructions on use not being followed, a charge may be

applied.

The use of ecological detergents without

phosphates may cause the following effects:

- cloudier rinse drain water: This effect is

tied to the suspended zeolites which do

not have negative effects on rinse

efficiency.

- white powder (zeolites) on laundry at

the end of the wash: this is normal, the

powder is not absorbed by fabric and

does not change its colour.

To remove the zeolites, select a rinse

programme. In the future consider using

slightly less detergent.

- foam in the water at last rinse: this

does not necessary indicate poor rinsing.

Consider using less detergent in future

washes.

- abundant foam: This is often due to the

anionic surfactants found in the

detergents which are hard to eliminate

from laundry.

In this case, do not re-rinse to eliminate

these effects: it will not help at all.

We suggest conducting a maintenance

wash using a proprietary cleaner.

If the problem persists or if you suspect a

malfunction, immediately contact an

Authorised Customer Service Centre.

It is always recommended to use original

spare parts, that are available at our
