Helpful hints and tips
Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and treat with
acetic or citric acid, then rinse. Treat any residual marks
with bleach.
Sorting out 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, wool-
lens.
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 thor-
oughly.
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.
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.
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated spirits
or benzine, then rub with detergent paste.
Detergents and additives
Good washing results also depend on the choice of deter-
gent 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
• 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 spe-
cial for woollens only.
The detergent and any additives must be placed in the ap-
propriate compartments of the dispenser drawer before
starting the wash programme.
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 de-
tergent. 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.
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).
If using liquid detergents, a programme without prewash
must be selected.
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.
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and fast
coloureds only).
Quantity of detergent to be used
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.
The type and quantity of detergent will depend on the type
of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and hardness of the
water used.
Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on quanti-
ties to use.
Use less detergent if:
1) do not use acetone on artificial silk

area can be obtained from the relevant water supply com-

degree is medium or high we suggest you to add a water
softener following always the manufacturer’s instructions.
When the degree of hardness is soft, readjust the quantity
of the detergent.

The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.
The machine vibrates is noisy:
• Redistribute the laundry.
Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.
• Load more laundry.
The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the laundry is
not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is redistributed by reverse rota-
tion of the drum. This may happen several times before the unbalance disap-
pears and normal spinning can resume. If, after 10 minutes, the laundry is still
not evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will not spin. In this case, re-
distribute the load manually and select the spin programme.
Spinning starts late or the machine
does not spin:
• Redistribute the laundry.
The load is too small.
• Add more items, redistribute the load manually and then select the spinning
programme.
The machine is fitted with a type of motor which makes an unusual noise com-
pared with other traditional motors. This new motor ensures a softer start and
more even distribution of the laundry in the drum when spinning, as well as
increased stability of the machine.
The machine makes an unusual
noise:
Machines based on modern technology operate very economically using very
little water without affecting performance.

When installing the appliance into the kitchen furniture
ensure, if possible, the hoses are placed in either of the
two recesses on the back of the appliance.
This will help to prevent the hoses from becoming
kinked or trapped.
• a) Door
The dimensions of the door should be:
- width 595-598 mm
- thickness 16-22 mm
The height (C-Fig. C) depends on the height of the ad-
jacent furniture's base.
• b) Hinges
To mount the hinges it is necessary to drill two holes
(dia. 35 mm, depth 12.5-14 mm depending on the
depth of door furniture) on the inner side of the door.
The distance between the holes hobs fixing centres
must be 416 mm.

Where the appliance has been raised by mounting onto
a wooden base provided by the installer. The material
used to construct the base should have anon slip sur-
face, be water repellent and if possible be one solid
piece.
If it is not possible to use one solid piece, due to the
additional height required, ensure that any additional
strips of timber are glued and screwed to the underside
of the base (see Fig. F).
d) Counter-magnet (6)
The appliance is prearranged for a magnetic closure of
the door.
To enable a correct operation of this device, it is neces-
sary to screw the counter-magnet (6) (steel disk + rub-
ber ring) into the inner side of the door. Its position
must correspond to the magnet (4) on the appliance

Drill four fixing holes see Fig. G
Fix the base firmly to the floor using four appropriate
countersunk screws (see Fig. H).
With the appliance installed adjust all four feet ensuring
the machine is stable, and a clearance of approximately
5 mm is left between the top of the machine and the un-
derside of the worktop.
Position the base into the recess with its front edge as
far forward as the adjoining plinth line will allow.
The reason for placing the base in this position is to al-
low a small strip of beading to be fitted in front of the
appliance feet.
A final check for stability should be carried out with the
machine on spin with a load, this will identify the need
for any further fine adjustment to the feet.
Graphic H
A strip of beading approximately 605 mm W, x 5 mm H,
x 25 mm D must be screwed down into the base directly
in front of the machine’s feet, this will provide addition-
al security.
If required an additional door magnet, part number
1242394-00/3 and disc, part number 1242393-00/5 are
