HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
Sorting out the laundry
Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label and the manufacturer???s washing in- structions. Sort the laundry as follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.
Temperatures
Before loading the laundry
Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites may lose their ??whiteness?? in the wash. New coloured items may run in the first wash; they should therefore be washed separately the first time.
Make sure that no metal objects are left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).
Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes. Remove persistent stains before washing.
Rub particularly soiled areas with a special detergent or detergent paste.
20 Helpful hints and tips
Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or tie them up in a bag or net.
Maximum loads
Recommended loads are indicated in the washing programme charts.
General rules:
???Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed;
???Synthetics: drum no more than half full;
???Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more than one third full.
Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient use of water and energy. For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.
Laundry weights
The following weights are indicative:
The following weights are indicative:
Removing stains
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and detergent. It is therefore advisable to treat them prior to washing.
Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried stains, soak overnight in water with a special detergent then rub in the soap and water.
Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain remover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain; treat several times.
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay the garment on a soft surface and dab the stain with the fingertips and a cotton cloth.
Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust removing product used cold. Be careful with rust stains which are not recent since the cellulose structure will already have been damaged and the fabric tends to hole.
Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whites and fast coloureds only).
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and fast coloureds only).
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone1), lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat stains with methylated spirits. Treat any residual marks with bleach.
Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse. Treat any residual marks with bleach.
1) do not use acetone on artificial silk
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric first with acetone1), then with acetic acid; treat any residual marks on white fabrics with bleach and then rinse thoroughly.
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated spirits or benzine, then rub with de- tergent paste.
Detergents and additives
Good washing results also depend on the choice of detergent and use of the correct quan- tities to avoid waste and protect the environment.
Although biodegradable, detergents contain substances which, in large quantities, can up- set the delicate balance of nature.
The choice of detergent will depend on the type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the colour, washing temperature and degree of soiling.
All commonly available washing machine detergents may be used in this appliance:
???powder detergents for all types of fabric
???powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60??C max) and woollens
???liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature wash programmes (60??C max) for all types of fabric, or special for woollens only.
The detergent and any additives must be placed in the appropriate compartments of the dispenser drawer before starting the wash programme.
If using liquid detergents, a programme without prewash must be selected.
Your appliance incorporates a recirculation system which allows an optimal use of the con- centrated detergent.
Follow the product manufacturer???s recommendations on quantities to use and do not ex- ceed the ??MAX?? mark in the detergent dispenser drawer.

CARE AND CLEANING
You must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can carry out any cleaning or maintenance work.
22 Care and cleaning
Descaling
The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good idea to periodically use a water soft- ening powder in the machine. Do this separately from any laundry washing, and according to the softening powder manufacturer's instructions. This will help to prevent the forma- tion of lime deposits.
After each wash
Leave the door open for a while. This helps to prevent mould and stagnant smells forming inside the appliance. Keeping the door open after a wash will also help to preserve the door seal.
Maintenance wash
With the use of low temperature washes it is possible to get a build up of residues inside the drum.
We recommend that a maintenance wash be performed on a regular basis. To run a maintenance wash:
???The drum should be empty of laundry.
???Select the hottest cotton wash programme.
???Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a powder with biological properties.
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and water only, and then dry thor- oughly.
Do not use methylated spirits, solvents or similar products to clean the cabinet.
Detergent dispenser drawer
The detergent dispenser drawer should be cleaned regularly.
1. Remove the detergent dispenser drawer by pulling it firmly.
2. Remove the conditioner insert from the middle compartment.
3. Clean all parts with water. 4. Put the conditioner insert in as far as it
will go, so that it is firmly in place.
5. Clean all parts of the washing machine, especially the nozzles in the top of the
6. Insert the detergent dispenser drawer in the guide rails and push it in.
Washing drum
Rust deposits in the drum may occur due to rusting foreign bodies in the washing or tap water containing iron.
Do not clean the drum with acidic descaling agents, scouring agents containing chlorine or iron or steel wool.
1.Remove any rust deposits on the drum with a cleaning agent for stainless steel.
2.Run a washing cycle without any washing to clean off any cleaning agent residues.
Programme: Short Cotton Programme at maximum temperature and add approx. 1/4 measuring cup of detergent.
Door seal
Check from time to time the door seal and objects that could be trapped in the fold.
Drain pump
The pump should be inspected regularly and particularly if:
???the appliance does not empty and/or spin;
???the appliance makes an unusual noise during draining due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking the pump;

6. Fill the smaller upper hole and the two large ones with the corresponding plastic plug caps supplied in the bag containing the instruction booklet.
7. Connect the water inlet hose as described under the paragraph ??Water inlet??.
Positioning and levelling
Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
Make sure that air circulation around the machine
is not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Before placing it on small tiles, apply a rubber coating.
Never try to correct any unevenness in the floor by putting pieces of wood, cardboard or similar
materials under the machine. If it is impossible to avoid positioning the machine next to a gas cooker or coalburning stove, an in-
sulating panel covered with aluminium foil on the
side facing the cooker or stove, must be inserted between the two appliances.
The machine must not be installed in rooms where the temperature can drop below 0??C. The water inlet hose and the drain hose must not be kinked.
Please ensure that when the appliance is installed, it is easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.
Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in or out. Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor.
Water inlet
An inlet hose is supplied and can be found inside the machine drum.
This appliance must be connected to a cold water supply.
Do not use the hose from your previous machine to connect to the water supply.
34Installation
1.Open the porthole and extract the inlet hose.
2.Connect the hose with the angled con- nection to the machine.
Do not place the inlet hose downwards. Angle the hose to the left or right de- pending on the position of your water tap.
3.Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring nut. After positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten the ring nut again to prevent leaks.
4.Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4??? thread. Always use the hose supplied with the appliance.
The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too short and you do not wish to move the tap, you will have to purchase a new, longer hose specially designed for this type of use. Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulations require- ments. Check the minimum water pressure re- quired for safe operation of the appliance in the chapter "Technical Data".
Installation 35
The inlet hose is provided with a water stop de- vice, which protects against damage caused by water leaks in the hose which could develop due to natural ageing of the hose. This fault is shown by a red sector in the window ??A??. Should this oc- cur, turn the water tap off and refer to your Serv- ice Centre to replace the hose.

Water drainage
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:
1.Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plastic hose guide supplied with the machine.
In this case, make sure the end cannot come unhooked when the machine is emptying.
This could be done by tying it to the tap with a piece of string or attaching it to the wall.
2. In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must be above the trap so that the bend is at least 60 cm above the ground.
3. Directly into a drain pipe at a height
of not less than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm.
The end of the drain hose must always be ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain pipe must be larger than the outside diameter of the drain hose.
The drain hose must not be kinked.
36 Electrical connection
The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4 metres. An additional drain hose and joining piece is available from your local Service Centre.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Information on the electrical connection is given on the rating plate on the inner edge of the appliance door.
