Quick Guide
TIPS AND TRICKS
Sort your laundry according to:
The type of fabric/care label instructions (cottons, mixed fabrics,
synthetics, wool, items to be hand-washed). Colours (separate the
coloured items from the whites and wash new colour items separately).
Delicates (wash small items—like nylon hosiery—and items with
hooks—like bras—in a zip-up fabric bag or pillowcase).
Empty all pockets
Objects like coins and lighters may damage your laundry and the drum.
Inside of the appliance
If you never or rarely wash laundry at 95 °C, we recommend you run a
95°C programme without any laundry once in a while, adding a small
amount of detergent, in order to keep your washing machine clean.
Follow dosing/additive instructions
This will allow you to get the best results from the wash, avoid tiresome
detergent residues in your laundry and save money by avoiding
unnecessary wasting of detergent.
Use a low temperature and a longer wash
The most energy-efficient programmes are usually those with a lower
temperature and a longer wash time.
Observe the load weight
Load your washing machine to the capacity indicated in the
"PROGRAMME TABLE" in order to save water and electricity.
Noise levels and residual water content
These depend on the spin speed: the higher the spin speed, the higher
the noise level and the lower the residual water content.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Switch off and disconnect your washing machine before cleaning and
performing maintenance operations. Do not use flammable fluids to
clean the washing machine. Clean and perform maintenance on your
washing machine every now and then (at least 4 times a year).
Clean the outside of the washing machine
Use a soft wet cloth to clean the outside of the washing machine. Do
not use a glass cleaner, all-purpose cleaner scouring powder or similar
cleaning products to clean the control panel, as this type of product will
damage the display.
Detergent dispenser
Clean the detergent dispenser regularly, at least three or four times a
year, to avoid detergent residue build-ups:
Press the release button
to release the detergent dispenser and
remove it. There may be a small amount of water in the dispenser, if
so turn it upright. Wash the dispenser under running water. You may
also remove the cover of the trap at the back of the dispenser in order
to clean it. Put the cover back on the dispenser (if removed). Replace
the dispenser, fitting the tabs on the bottom of the dispenser into the
corresponding recesses on the door and press the dispenser against the
door until it locks into place. Make sure that the detergent dispenser is
installed correctly.
Checking the water supply hose
Check the water supply hose regularly for cracks and wear. If damaged,
replace it with a new hose from our after-sales service or an authorised
stockist. Depending on the type of hose: If the hose has a colourless
coating, check it regularly to make sure it has not changed colour. If it
has, the hose may have a leak and should be replaced. For water stop
hoses
(where available): check the inspection window on the
small safety valve (see arrow). If it is red, the water stop function has
been triggered and the hose must be replaced. To unscrew the hose,
press the release button (where available) while unscrewing the hose.
Cleaning the water supply hose mesh filters
Check and clean regularly (at least two or three times a year).
Close the tap and detach the inlet hose from the tap. Clean the inner
mesh filter and fit the water supply hose back on the tap. Now loosen
the water supply hose at the back of the washing machine. Pull out
the mesh filter on the washing machine connector using universal
pliers and clean. Fit the mesh filter back in place again and tighten the
water supply hose again. Open the tap again and make sure that the
connections are perfectly water-tight.
Cleaning the water filter/draining the waste water
The washing machine is provided with a self-cleaning pump. The filter
holds back objects such as buttons, coins, safety pins, etc. that were left
in the laundry. After using a high-temperature programme, wait for the
water to cool before draining. Clean the water filter regularly to avoid
water drainage problems due to a blocked filter. If the water is unable to
drain, the display will indicate that the water filter may be blocked.
Open the filter lid using a coin. Place a large, flat container under the
water filter to collect the drained water. Slowly turn the filter anti-
clockwise to allow the water to drain. Allow the water to drain without
removing the filter. When the container is full, close the filter by turning
it clockwise. Empty the container. Repeat the operation until all the
water has been drained. Your washing machine is provided with a
number of safety and automatic feedback features. Then remove the
filter by turning it anti-clockwise. Clean the water filter (remove any
residues inside the filter and clean under running water) and the filter
chamber. Make sure that the pump impeller (in the recess behind the
filter) is not clogged. Insert the water filter and close the filter cover.
Re-assemble the filter by turning it anti-clockwise. Be sure to turn it
as far as it will go. To make sure the water filter is water-tight, pour
approximately 1 litre of water into the drum and check that no water
leaks from the filter. Then close the filter lid.
Door seal
Check the door seal regularly and clean it with a damp cloth from time
to time.
Retrieving an object that has fallen between the drum and the
casing
If an object accidentally falls between the drum and the casing, it can
be retrieved using one of the removable drum paddles.
Disconnect the washing machine. Remove the laundry from the drum.
Close the drum flaps and turn the drum a half revolution (photo a). Use
a screwdriver to press on the plastic end while sliding the carriage from
left to right (photo b, c) by hand until it falls into the drum. Open the
drum. You can retrieve the object through the hole in the drum. Fit the
paddle back inside the drum: Position the plastic tip over the hole on
the right side of the drum (photo d). Then slide the plastic paddle from
right to left until it engages. Close the drum flaps again, turn the drum a
half revolution and check the position of the paddle at all its anchorage
points. Reconnect the washing machine.

TRANSPORT AND MAINTENANCE
Disconnect the washing machine and shut off the water tap. Disconnect
the water supply hose from the tap and remove the drainage hose
from the drainage points. Remove any residual water from the hoses
and washing machine and secure the hoses to avoid damage during
transportation. To make it easier to move the machine, pull gently on
the mobility lever at the front of the bottom of the washing machine (if
present) by hand. Pull the washing machine up to the stop using a foot.
Then push the mobility lever back into its original position. Reinstall
the transport pallet. Follow the instructions on how to remove the
transport pallet in the INSTALLATION GUIDE in reverse order.
