DETERGENT DISPENSER DRAWER
Successful washing results also depend on the correct dose
of detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessarily
result in a more ecient wash, and may in fact cause
build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to
environmental pollution.
! Do not use hand washing detergents because these create
too much foam.
! Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for
prewashing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C.
! Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging.
Open the detergent dispenser drawer and pour in the
detergent or washing additive, as follows.
1. Compartment : Washing detergent (powder or liquid)
• If liquid detergent is used, the removable plastic
partition A (supplied) should be used for proper
dosage.
• If powder detergent is used, insert the partition into
slot B.
2. Compartment
• Do not insert detergent in this compartment.
3. Compartment : Additives (fabric softener, etc.)
• The fabric softener must never exceed the “max” level
indicated on the central pin.

END OF THE CYCLE
Once the cycle terminates the indicator light will light
up; when the indicator light switches o, the door may
be opened. Open the door, unload the laundry and switch
o the machine. If you do not press “ON/OFF” button, the
washing machine will switch o automatically after about
a half of an hour. Close the water tap, open the door and
unload the washing machine. Leave the door ajar to allow the
drum to dry.
! If you wish to cancel a cycle which has already begun,
press and hold the “ON/OFF” button. The cycle will be
stopped and the machine will switch o.
Load balancing system
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations before
every spin and to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the
drum rotates continuously at a speed which is slightly greater
than the washing rotation speed. If, after several attempts,
the load is not balanced correctly, the machine spins at a
reduced spin speed. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the
washing machine performs the distribution process instead
of spinning. To encourage improved load distribution and
balance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed
in the load.
HINTS AND TIPS
RULES FOR SEPARATING LAUNDRY
• Fabric type / indications on label (cotton, mixed bres,
synthetic, wool, handwash items)
• Colour (separate coloured garments from whites, wash
new coloured items separately)
• Size (wash items of dierent sizes in the same load to
improve washing ecacy and weight distribution in the
drum)
• Delicates (place small items – such as nylon stockings –
and garments with clasps – such as braziers – in a laundry
bag or in a pillow case with a zip).
WASH SYMBOLS ON GARMENT LABELS
The value given in the tub symbol is the maximum
temperature possible for washing the garment.
Normal mechanical action
Reduced mechanical action
Much reduced mechanical action
Hand wash only
Do not wash
CLEAN THE WATER FILTER REGULARLY
• This is needed to prevent the lter from blocking and
preventing the water from draining correctly.
HOW MUCH DOES YOUR LAUNDRY WEIGH?
• 1 sheet 400-500 g
• 1 pillow case 150-200 g

DISCONNECT THE WATER AND POWER
SUPPLIES
Close the water tap after every wash. This will limit wear on
the hydraulic system inside the washing machine and help to
prevent leaks.
Unplug the washing machine when cleaning it and during all
maintenance work.
CLEAN THE WASHING MACHINE
The outer parts and rubber components of the appliance
can be cleaned using a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy
water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
The washing machine has a “Auto-cleaning” cycle for its
internal parts; it must be run without any load in the drum.
To optimise this cycle, it is possible to use either detergent

CHECK THE WATER INLET HOSE
Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If it is cracked
or broken, it must be replaced: during wash cycles, the high
pressure of the water could suddenly split the hose open.
! Never use hoses that have already been used.
