18 WASHING HINTS 6.1 Sorting The Laundry Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label and the manufacturer s washing instructions. Sort the laundry as follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens. 6.2 Temperatures 90 C 60 C 50 C 40 C 30 C Cold For normally soiled white cottons and linen (e.g. teacloths, towels, tablecloths, sheets...). For normally soiled, colourfast garments (e.g. shirts, night dresses, pajamas...) in linen, cotton or synthetic fibres and for lightly soiled white cotton (e.g.underwear). For delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed laundry including synthetic fibres and woollens bearing the label pure new wool, machine washable, nonshrink. 6.3 Before Loading The Laundry 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. Wash bras, pantyhose and other delicates in a mesh laundry bag, which you can purchase from your supermarket. Make sure that you wash lint collectors separately from lint producers. 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. 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 a net. 6.4 Maximum Loads Recommended loads are indicated in the program charts. General rules: drum full but not too Cotton, linen: tightly packed; drum no more than Synthetics: 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. 6.5 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 in cold water. Be careful with rust stains which are not recent since the cellulose structure will already have been damaged and the fabric tends to hole.

19 ENGLISH 19 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. Remove any residual marks from white fabrics 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. Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric first with acetone (*), 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 detergent paste. (*) do not use acetone on artificial silk. 6.6 Detergents Type And Quantity Of Detergent Low sudsing detergent is required for this washing machine to prevent oversudsing problems, unsatisfied washing result and harm to the machine. Low sudsing detergents designed for front load washing machines are labelled Front Loading, high efficiency, HE, such as Cold Power for Front Loaders or Matic. Do not use wrong types of detergent, such as Top Loading, Handwash detergent or SoapBased products in your frontload washing machine. This can result in excessive suds, longer cycle time, low spin speeds, poor rinsing and overloading of the motor. Quantity of detergent to be used The choice of detergent and use of correct quantities not only affects your wash performance, but also helps 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 and quantity of detergent will depend on ; type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.) ; the colour of clothes ; size of the load ; degree of soil ; wash temperature ; and hardness of the water used. Water hardness is classified by socalled degrees of hardness. Information on hardness of the water in your area can be obtained from the relevant water supply company, or from your local authority. You may have to try using the detergent quantity as per manufacturers instructions then compare the wash result to the list below and adjust the amount of detergent for your future washes accordingly. Not enough washing powder causes: the washload to turn grey, greasy clothes. Too much washing powder causes: sudsing, reduced washing effect, inadequate rinsing. Use less detergent if: you are washing a small load, the laundry is lightly soiled, large amounts of foam during washing.

CARE AND CLEANING WARNING! You must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can carry out any cleaning or maintenance work. 8.1 External Cleaning Clean the appliance only with soap and warm water. Fully dry all the surfaces. CAUTION! Do not use alcohol, solvents or chemical products. 8.2 Descaling The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good idea to periodically use a water softening 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 formation of lime deposits. 8.3 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.

21 ENGLISH 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 program. Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a powder with biological properties. 8.5 Cleaning The Dispenser Drawer The washing powder and additive dispenser drawer should be cleaned regularly. Remove the drawer by pressing the catch downwards and by pulling it out. Flush it out under a tap, to remove any traces of accumulated powder. 8.6 Cleaning The Drawer Recess Having removed the drawer, use a small brush to clean the recess, ensuring that all washing powder residue is removed from the upper and lower part of the recess. Replace the drawer and run the rinse program without any clothes in the drum. To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive compartment should be removed. 8.7 Cleaning The Pump Regularly examine the drain pump and make sure that it is clean. Clean the pump if: The appliance does not drain the water. The drum cannot turn. The appliance makes an unusual noise because of the blockage of the drain pump. The display shows an alarm code because of the problem with water drain. WARNING! 1. Disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.

22 Do not remove the filter while the appliance is operating. Do not clean the drain pump if the water in the appliance is hot. The water must be cold before you clean the drain pump. 3. Press the two levers and pull forward the drainage duct to let the water flow out. To clean the drain pump: 1. Open the drain pump door. 4. When the container is full of water, put the drainage duct back again and empty the container. Do step 3 again and again until no more water flows out from the drain pump. 2. Place a suitable water container below the recess of the drain pump to collect the water that flows out.

23 ENGLISH Pull back the drainage duct and turn the filter counterclockwise to remove it. 8. Make sure that the impeller of the pump can turn. If this does not occur, contact the service centre. 6.
