maximum quantity of detergent/fabric softener has  
been measured out, the indicators rise until they  
touch the grilles protecting the compartments.  
This washing machine is fitted with an innovative self-  
cleaning detergent drawer which enhances the  
quality of each wash.  
The drawer is located inside the porthole door.  
! We recommend that the maximum levels  
indicated on the detergent dispenser drawer are  
not exceeded.  
Exceeding the stated amount of detergent does not  
result in a more effective was; it simply pollutes the  
environment more.  
Exceeding the maximum levels indicated on the  
machine may cause the detergent to leak out of the  
bottom part of the drawer.  
The water used during the wash cycle will remove  
any excess detergent from the drawer. It is, however,  
possible to remove the drawer manually (see “Care

Detergents and laundry  
Preparing the laundry  
GB  
How much does your laundry weigh?  
• Divide the laundry according to:  
- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label;  
- the colours: separate coloured garments from  
whites.  
1 sheet 400-500 g  
1 pillow case 150-200 g  
1 tablecloth 400-500 g  
1 bathrobe 900-1.200 g  
1 towel 150-250 g  
• Empty all garment pockets and check the  
buttons.  
1 pair of jeans 400-500 g  
1 shirt 150-200 g  
• Do not exceed the load values indicated for the  
“Wash programmes”.  
Washing recommendations  
Bed and bathroom laundry (sheets, towels,  
bathrobes, etc.): use the WHITE COTTONS  
programme which guarantees the most efficient  
wash in Class A appliances. The intensive spin  
cycle eliminates all excess water efficiently.  
Coloured synthetic and cotton garments, with  
“wash at 30°”  
instruction on the care label: use  
programme with final spin.  
the DELICATES 30°  
The low washing temperature protects the coloured  
fabrics. If you require a quick wash, use the RAPID  
WASH 30’  
programme, placing the detergents in  
White cotton garments (shirts, T-shirts,  
tablecloths, etc.): use the WHITE COTTONS 60°  
programme. If there are any stubborn stains, they  
should be pre-treated with solid soap before the  
wash cycle is started.  
the relevant drawer.  
Woollen garments (jumpers, scarves, etc.): use  
the DELICATES 30°  
programme with final spin.  
The movement of the drum during the wash and  
the delicate spin cycle reduces fabric matting. We  
recommend the use of detergents specifically  
designed for woollen garments. We recommend  
that the maximum load level is not exceeded.  
Coloured cotton garments (shirts, T-shirts,  
underwear, etc.): use the COLOUR MIX 40°  
programme, which maximises the performance of  
the wash without damaging the colours. The spin  
cycle phase, thanks to the incorporated EASY  
IRON function, reduces the formation of creases  
at the end of the wash, making the fabric easier  
to iron. We recommend the use of liquid  
detergent.  
Silk garments (shirts, underwear, etc.): use the  
DELICATES 30°  
programme with the spin  
excluded. Try not to leave the laundry in the drum  
for too long after the wash cycle has finished, to  
prevent excessive creasing.  
White or coloured synthetic garments (shirts,  
Curtains: use the DELICATES 30°  
programme  
T-shirts, underwear, etc.): use the COLOUR MIX  
with the spin excluded. We recommend they are  
folded and placed inside a pillowcase or a mesh  
bag. Wash them separately, making sure the  
maximum load level is not exceeded.

same wash cycle, to prevent any colour leakage  
from seeping into the white clothing. We  
recommend the use of liquid detergent.

Precautions and advice  
! This machine was designed and constructed in  
accordance with international safety regulations. The  
following information is provided for safety reasons  
and must therefore be read carefully.  
recycling of the materials they contain and reduce

GB  
the impact on human health and the  
environment. The crossed out "wheeled bin"  
symbol on the product reminds you of your  
obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance  
it must be separately collected.  
General safety  
Consumers should contact their local authority or  
retailer for information concerning the correct  
disposal of their old appliance.  
• This appliance was designed for domestic use only.  
• The machine must only be used by adults, in  
accordance with the instructions given in this  
manual.  
Saving energy and respecting the  
environment  
• Do not touch the machine when barefoot or with  
wet or damp hands or feet.  
Saving detergents, water, energy and time  
• To avoid wasting resources, the washing machine  
should be used with a full load. One full load  
instead of two half loads saves up to 50% of the  
energy used.  
• Do not pull on the power supply cable when  
unplugging the appliance from the electricity  
socket. Hold the plug and pull.  
• Treating stains with a stain remover, or leaving  
them to soak before they are washed, reduces the  
need to wash the garments at high temperatures.  
• Do not touch the drained water as it may reach  
extremely high temperatures.  
• Never force the porthole door. this could damage  
the safety lock mechanism designed to prevent  
accidental opening.  
• Use the correct quantity of detergent, in  
accordance with the water hardness, how soiled  
the garments are and the amount of laundry you  
have, in order to avoid wastage and to protect the  
environment: although they are biodegradable,  
detergents still contain ingredients which alter the  
balance of nature. Avoid using fabric softener  
wherever possible.  
• If the appliance breaks down, do not under any  
circumstances access the internal mechanisms in  
an attempt to repair it yourself.  
• Always keep children well away from the appliance  
while it is operating.  
If you use your washing machine between late  
afternoon and the early hours of the morning, you  
will help to reduce the peak load of the electricity  
board.  
• The door can become quite hot during the wash  
cycle.  
• If the appliance has to be moved, work in a group  
of two or three people and handle it with the  
utmost care. Never try to do this alone, because  
the appliance is very heavy.  
• Before loading laundry into the washing machine,  
make sure the drum is empty.  
Disposal  
• Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local  
regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.  
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste  
Electrical and Electronic Equipment, requires that  
old household electrical appliances must not be  
disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal  
waste stream. Old appliances must be collected  
separately in order to optimise the recovery and

Care and maintenance  
Cutting off the water and electricity  
supply  
Caring for the door and drum of your  
appliance  
GB  
• Turn off the water tap after every wash. This will  
limit wear on the hydraulic system in the machine  
and help to prevent leaks.  
• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to  
prevent unpleasant odours from forming.  
Cleaning the pump  
• Unplug the appliance when cleaning it and during  
all maintenance work.  
The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning  
pump which does not require any maintenance.  
Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons)  
may fall into the pre-chamber which protects the  
pump, situated in its bottom part.  
Cleaning the 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.  
! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug  
the appliance.  
To access the pre-chamber:

2. unscrew the lid by  
rotating it anti-clockwise  
(see figure): a little water  
may trickle out. This is  
perfectly normal;  
indicated in the figure.  
Do not grip the drawer  
by the grille as this may  
damage it.  
3. Unhook the drawer  
cover to access the  
compartment, as  
3. clean the inside thoroughly;  
indicated in the figure.  
4. Clean the drawer  
under running water.  
5. Re-hook the cover  
and replace the drawer,  
pushing until it clicks into  
place.  
4. screw the lid back on;  
5. screw the protective cap back on by turning it in a  
clockwise direction, making sure the arrow on the  
inside part of the cap is facing upwards.  
Checking the water inlet hose  
Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If there are  
any cracks, it should be replaced immediately: during  
the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and a  
cracked hose could easily split open.  
! Never use second-hand hoses.
