Helpful hints and tips
General rules:
Sorting out the laundry
• 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.
Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label and
the manufacturer’s washing instructions. Sort the laundry
as follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, wool-
lens.
Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient use
of water and energy.
Temperatures
For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.

ments (e.g. shirts, night dresses,
pyjamas....) in linen, cotton or syn-
thetic fibres and for lightly soiled
white cotton (e.g. underwear)

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.
Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or tie them
up in a bag or net.
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 gar-
ment on a soft surface and dab the stain with the fingertips
and a cotton cloth.
Maximum loads
Recommended loads are indicated in the washing pro-
gramme charts.

been damaged and the fabric tends to hole.
Prewash detergent is to be added straight into the
drum
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 acetone , 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.
If using liquid detergents, a programme without prewash
must be selected. Pour the liquid detergent into the de-
tergent compartment immediately before you start the
programme.
Your appliance incorporates a recirculation system which
allows an optimal use of the concentrated detergent.
Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations on
quantities to use and do not exceed the «MAX» mark in
the detergent dispenser drawer .

Degrees of water hardness
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric first

hardness. Information on hardness of the water in your
area can be obtained from the relevant water supply com-
pany, or from your local authority.

with acetone , then with acetic acid; treat any residual
marks on white fabrics with bleach and then rinse thor-
oughly.
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated spirits
or benzine, then rub with detergent paste.
A water softener must be added when water has a
medium-high degree of hardness (from degree of
hardness II). Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. The
quantity of detergent can then always be adjusted to de-
gree of hardness I (= soft).
Detergents and additives
Good washing results also depend on the choice of de-
tergent and use of the correct quantities to avoid waste
and protect the environment.
Although biodegradable, detergents contain substances
which, in large quantities, can upset 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

some time, run off a reasonable amount of water to flush
out any debris that may have collected
Caution! Do not use the hose from your previous
appliance to connect to water supply.
Connect the hose to a tap
with a 3/4” thread. Always
use the hose supplied with
the appliance.
With a suitable spanner unscrew and remove the three
screws and their spacers on machine's rear.
The three holes must then
be pluggedwith the plastic
plug caps supplied in the
bag containing the in-
struction booklet, which
can be found inside the
drum.
The machine end of the in-
let hose can be turned in
any direction. 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.
Positioning
Install the machine on a flat hard floor. Make sure that air
circulation around the machine is not impeded bycarpets,
rugs etc. Check that the machine does not touch the wall
or furniture. Level the washing machine by raising or
lowering the two front feet. If necessary, check the setting
with a spirit level. Any necessary adjustment can be made
with a spanner. Accurate levelling prevents vibration,
noise and displacement of the machine during operation.
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.
Water drainage
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:
Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plastic hose
guide supplied with the machine.
Caution! Never place cardboard, wood or similar
materials under the machine to compensate for any
unevenness in the floor.
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.

The hose must not be stickedinto the standpipe more than
50 mm and it has to be fixed in this position. The drain
hose must not be kinked.
The drain hose can be extended up to total 3,5 m. For the
extension piece use a hose with an internal diameter at
least as large as that of the machine's own hose. Use a
suitable hose connector.
650-800 mm
The drain hose can be connected directly into the pipe
(e.g. beneath a washtub or sink), above the water trap. The
drain hose must be arranged so that some part of it’s
length is routed up to a level corresponding to the top
edge of the tub and fixed in place there.
Information on the electrical connection is given on the
rating plate on the inner edge of the appliance door.
Check that your domestic electrical installation can take
the maximum load required, also taking into account any
other appliances in use.
