What should I do if my washing machine has a high spin speed issue?

If the washing machine vibrates during the spin cycle, it might need to be balanced properly. Ensure there is no excessive unbalanced load; mixing small and large garments can improve balance (Page 15).

How do I clean the water inlet hose?

Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If there are any cracks, replace it immediately since high water pressure during cycles could lead to splits (Page 6).

Why is my door not opening after finishing a wash cycle?

The machine has a safety feature that locks the door until shortly after the program finishes. Wait for about three minutes and the DOOR LOCKED indicator light should turn off, allowing you to open the door (Page 9).

Can I clean the detergent drawer?

Yes, remove the detergent dispenser drawer by pressing lever (1) and pulling it outwards (2), wash it under running water to keep it hygienic. Clean frequently to maintain effectiveness (Page 6).

How do I start a wash cycle with the machine turned off?

Press and hold the Push & Wash button for two seconds; this initiates an automatic uncustomisable programme suitable for cotton or synthetic fabrics without needing to turn on the appliance (Page 10).

What should I do if my machine is noisy during spin cycles?

Normal motor, pump and drum noise occurs during spin. High noise could indicate an out-of-balance load or incorrect installation; try redistributing the wash load to resolve issues (Page 15).

How do I change the spin speed?

Turn the SPIN SPEED knob to adjust the desired spin speed. Ensure it is compatible with your selected cycle; otherwise, the knob will flash and three beeps sound (Page 11).

How do I set the temperature for a wash cycle?

Turn the TEMPERATURE knob to select the desired temperature, ensuring it is compatible with the selected wash cycle. If not, the knob indicator will flash and three beeps will sound, preventing incompatible settings (Page 11).

What should I do if my washing machine leaks from the detergent dispenser?

Clean the dispenser drawer; it might be blocked with detergent. If blockage is not the issue, wait for approximately one minute after switching off and unplugging the washer before attempting to start a new program (Page 15).

How do I run an ‘Auto Clean’ cycle?

To run an Auto Clean cycle, press buttons A and B simultaneously for five seconds after the first wash. The machine will start automatically and clean itself (Page 6).

Connect the drain hose, without bending it, to a draining duct or a wall drain situated between 65 and 100 cm from the floor;

Where it connects to the waste water pipe cut end off spigot or remove the blanking cap

The drain hose may be connected to an under-sink trap. Before connecting the drain hose from the machine ensure that any blanks or removable ends have been taken off the spigot.

If it is placed over the edge of a basin or sink be sure the free end of the hose should not be underwater.

! We advise against the use of hose extensions; in case of absolute need, the extension must have the same diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 150 cm in length. Ensure that if the drain hose is pushed into a standpipe, that the end does not go down more than 15cms (6 inches). If the hose is pushed down too far, this may cause the machine to self -syphon ie. continuously empty as it is filling.

Detergents and laundry

GB

Detergent dispenser drawer

Successful washing results also depend on the correct dose of detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessarily result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to environmental pollution.

! Do not use hand washing detergents because these create too much foam. ! Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for prewashing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C.

! Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging. Open the detergent dispenser drawer and pour in the detergent or washing additive, as follows.

| | |---|

Compartment 1: Do not pour detergent into the middle compartment 1.

Compartment 2: Washing

######## detergent (powder or liquid)

If liquid detergent is used, it is recommended that the removable plastic partition A (supplied) be used for proper dosage. If powder detergent is used, place the partition into slot B.

Page 12

Compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.) The fabric softener must not exceed the “max” level indicated on the central pin.

Preparing the laundry

• Divide the laundry according to:

- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label

- the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.

• Empty all garment pockets and check the buttons.

• Do not exceed the values listed in the “Table of wash cycles”, which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry.

How much does your laundry weigh? 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

Garments requiring special care

Daily cotton: a 30°C cycle for cotton garments. It allows for reducing consumption of energy for heating the water, while guaranteeing excellent results. Suitable for lightly soiled garments.

Daily synthetics: a 30°C cycle for synthetic garments. It allows for reducing consumption of energy for heating the water, while guaranteeing excellent results. Suitable for lightly soiled garments.

Coloureds: a 30°C cycle that helps to preserve the colours; suitable for coloured cotton and synthetic garments. It allows for reducing consumption of energy for heating the water, while guaranteeing excellent results. Suitable for lightly soiled garments.

Delicates: use programme 4 to wash very delicate garments. It is advisable to turn the garments inside out before washing them. For best results, use liquid detergent on delicate garments. For washing Silk items and Curtains, select the relevant cycle 4 and activate the option ; the machine will end the cycle with the laundry soaked and the indicator light will flash. To drain the water so that the laundry can be removed, press the START/PAUSE button or the option .

Mixed: a 40°C cycle for washing cotton and synthetic garments together. Suitable for lightly soiled underwear.

Sport (programme 11) is designed for washing lightly soiled sports clothing (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the “Programme table”. We recommend using liquid detergent, and adding the amount suitable for a half-load.

Duvet: to wash single duvets (the weight of which should not exceed 1 kg), cushions or clothes padded with goose down such as puffa jackets, use the special wash cycle number 12. We recommend that duvets are placed in the drum with their edges folded inwards (see figure) and that no more than ¾ of the total volume of the drum is used. To achieve the best results, we recommend that a liquid detergent is used and placed inside the detergent dispenser drawer.
