First use
• Ensure that the electrical and water connections
comply with the installation instructions.
• Ensure that the drum is empty.
• Before the first wash, run a cotton cycle at the
highest temperature without any laundry in the
machine, to remove any manufacturing residue
from the drum and tub. Pour 1/2 a measure of
detergent into the main wash compartment and
start the machine.
Personalisation
Buzzer
The appliance is provided with an acoustic device, which
sounds in the following cases:
• at the end of the cycle;
• if there is a fault.
By pressing the 4 and 5 buttons simultaneously for about
6 seconds , the acoustic signal is deactivated (except if
there is a fault). By pressing these 2 buttons again, the
acoustic signal is reactivated.
Child safety lock
This device permits you to leave the appliance unattended
so you do not need to worry that children might be injured
by or cause damage to the appliance. This function re-
mains enabled also when the appliance is not working.
There are two different ways to set this option:
1. Before pressing button 9 : it will be impossible to start
the appliance.
2. After pressing button 9 : it will be impossible to
change any other programme or option.
To enable or disable this
option press simultane-
ously for about 6 seconds
buttons 2 and 3 until on
the display, the icon
appears or disappears.
Daily use
Sort 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.
Before Loading The Laundry
Important! 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 pop-
pers. Tie any belts or long
tapes. Remove any hooks
(e.g curtains).
• 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.
• Rub particularly soiled areas with a special detergent
or detergent paste.
• Treat curtains with special care.
• Wash the socks and the gloves inside the bag or a net.
Remove stubborn stains before 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
