Figure 9: Shows the detergent drawer with three compartments labeled '1' (prewash), ' ' (additives/softeners), and '2' (washing detergent). Figure 10: Illustrates a liquid detergent cup that can be placed in compartment '2'.

⚠️ WARNING: some detergents are not designed for use in the dispenser drawer but are supplied with their own dispenser that is placed in the drum directly.

⚠️ WARNING: installation faults are not covered by the manufacturers warranty.

3. PRACTICAL TIPS

Load Tips

⚠️ WARNING: when sorting laundry, make sure:

• have eliminated metallic objects such as hair clips, pins, coins, from laundry;
• to have buttoned pillow cases, closed zips, tied loose belts and long robe ribbons;
• to have removed rollers, hooks or clips from curtains;
• to have carefully read clothing washing labels;
• to have removed any persistent stains using specific detergents.

• When washing rugs, bedcovers or other heavy clothing, we recommend you avoid the spinning cycle.
• To wash wool, make sure the item can be machine washed and marked by the “Pure virgin wool” symbol with the “Does not mat" or "Machine washable" label.

Helpful Suggestions for the User

A guide environmentally friendly and economic use of your appliance.

Maximise The Load Size

• Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent and time by using the recommended maximum load size. Save up to 50% energy by washing a full load instead of 2 half loads.

Do you need to pre-wash?

• For heavily soiled laundry only! SAVE detergent, time, water and between 5 to 15% energy consumption by NOT selecting Prewash for slight to normally soiled laundry.

Is a hot wash required?

• Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried in stains in water before washing to reduce the necessity of a hot wash programme. Save up to 50% energy by using a 60°C wash programme.

Following is a quick guide with tips and recommendations on detergent use at the various temperatures. In any case, always read the instructions on the detergent for correct use and doses.

• When washing heavily soiled whites, we recommend using cotton programs of 60°C or above and a normal washing powder (heavy duty) that contains bleaching agents that at medium/high temperatures provide excellent results.

For washes between 40°C and 60°C the type of detergent used needs to be appropriate for the type of fabric and level of soiling.

• Normal powders are suitable for “white” or colour fast fabrics with high soiling, while liquid detergents or "colour protecting" powders are suitable for coloured fabrics with light levels of soiling.

For washing at temperatures below 40°C we recommend the use of liquid detergents or detergents specifically labeled as suitable for low temperature washing.

• For washing wool or silk, only use detergents specifically formulated for these fabrics.

4. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

To clean the washing machine exterior, use a damp cloth, avoiding abrasives, alcohol and/or solvents. To maintain a good wash performance we recommend that the soap drawer and pump filters are regularly cleaned. A monthly service wash, using a proprietary cleaner is also recommended.

Drawer cleaning

• We recommend you clean the drawer to avoid accumulating detergent and additive residue.
• To do this, extract the drawer using slight force, clean it with running water and reinsert it in its housing.
• Ensure the siphon cap is correctly refitted.

Filter cleaning

• The washing machine comes with a special filter able to trap large residue, such as buttons or coins, which could clog the drain.
• Only available on certain models: pull out the corrugated hose, remove the stopper and drain the water into a container. Ensure all the water has been emptied from the drum.
• Before unscrewing the filter, we recommend you place an absorbent cloth under it to keep the floor dry. A small amount of water will come out of the filter as you remove it - this is normal.
• Turn the filter counter-clockwise to the limit stop.
• Remove and clean the filter; when finished, replace it turning it clockwise. The filter handle will be locked when it is not possible to turn any further and the handle is horizontal. Smearing a small amount of liquid soap on the filter seal will help refitting.
• Repeat the previous steps in reverse order to reassemble all parts.

Suggestions for moves or prolonged disuse

• Should the washing machine be stored in an unheated room for a long period of time, drain all water from tubes.
• Unplug the washing machine.
• Detach the tube from the drainage system and clip on the rear of the machine and lower it, fully draining water into a bowl.
• Secure the drain tube with the drainage system and clip on the rear of the machine when finished.
• Keep the door glass and gasket clean.

The manufacturers warranty only covers faults within the product of a mechanical or electrical nature. Faults caused by handling, installation or miss use are not covered and may incur a charge for any repair visit to resolve.

Programmes selection

To clean different types of fabrics and various levels of dirt, the washing machine has specific programs to meet every need of washing (see table of programmes).

ALL IN ONE technology

This washing machine is equipped with an innovative system with an high pressure jet that sprays a mixture of water and detergent directly into the load. The special motor movement used in this machine manages the drum movement during the start up of each programme, in conjunction with the high pressure jet spraying the detergent mixture into the load, the cycle includes a set of spin actions that helps the detergent solution to penetrate into the fibers, helping dirt removal and ensuring the best available wash performance. The ALL IN ONE system is also used during the water load phases where the high pressure jet aids the complete removal of detergent residues trapped in the clothes

All In One 20°C

Thanks to ALL IN ONE technology, this innovative programme, allows you to wash fabrics such as cottons, synthetics and mixed fabrics at 20°C with a performance which is comparable to a 40°C wash. The consumption of this program is about 50% of a conventional 40°C. Cottons wash.

IMPORTANT WASH PERFORMANCE ADVICE:

• New, coloured garments should be washed separately for at least 5 or 6 washes.
• Certain large dark items such as jeans and towels should always be washed separately.
• Never mix NON COLOURFAST fabrics.

All Baby 60°C

You can wash all baby clothes together, at medium temperature, resulting in hygienic and perfectly clean items when combined with heavy duty soap. This is possible thanks to the ideal pre-dose of water and detergent, that is sprayed onto the laundry through the jet activating the enzymes at 50°C.

All In One 59 Min.

This programme allows you to wash mixed fabrics such as cottons, synthetics and mixed fabrics in only 59 minutes, using the full load of the washing machine, at 40°C (or less) temperature. This programme is particularly suited to slightly dirty fabrics.

Rapid (14-30-44 Min.)

Washing cycle suggested for low loads and slightly dirty. With this program it is recommended to reduce the quantity of detergent normally used, in order to avoid unnecessary waste. Selecting the RAPID program and acting on the button you can choose one of three programs available.

Shirts

The washing cycle is optimized to reduce the creation of creases, keeping an excellent washing performance. It is also possible to further reduce the spin speed, to ensure an easier ironing.

Dark Colours

Program designed to mix all dark garments and to avoid the loss of colour and the formation of creases. We recommend the use of liquid detergent.

Whites + Prewash

This programme has been designed to remove the stronger stains from cotton white clothes. The prewash guarantees the tough dirt removal. Add into compartment "1" a quantity of detergent equal to 20% of that used for main wash.

Rinse

This program performs 3 rinses with an intermediate spin (which can be reduced or excluded by using the appropriate button) . It is used for rinsing any type of fabric, for example after a wash carried out by hand.

Drain & Spin

The program completes the drain and a maximum spin. It is possible to delete or reduce the spin with the SPIN SPEED button.

Handwash & Silk

This programme allows a delicate washing cycle for garments specified as "Hand Wash only" and laundry items made from Silk or specified as "Wash as Silk" on the fabric label.

Cottons

This program is suitable to clean normally soiled cotton laundry and it is the most efficient program in terms of combined energy and water consumptions for washing cotton laundry.

Wool

This program performs a wash cycle dedicated to the wool fabrics that can be washed in a washing machine, or the articles to be washed by hand.

Delicates

This program has reduced periods of drum rotation during the cycle and is particularly suitable or washing delicate fabrics. The wash cycle and rinses are carried out with a high level of water to ensure the best performance.

Mixed

One Touch

Customizable setting of the knob that you have to select when you would like to transfer a command from the App to the machine and to download/start a cycle (see the dedicated section and the user manual of the App for more info). In the One Touch option the factory sets as a default the "Auto-Hygiene" cycle, made to clean the drum, remove bad smells and extend the life of the washing machine. Make sure there is no load in the drum before starting the "Auto-Hygiene" cycle, use a proprietary washing machine cleaning agent or powder detergent. Leave the door of the machine open at the end of the cycle to allow the drum to dry. Recommended every 50 washes.
