• 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.
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.
Quantity of detergent to be used
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:
• you are washing a small load
• the laundry is lightly soiled
• large amounts of foam form during washing.
Degrees of water hardness
Water hardness is classified in so-called “degrees” of
hardness. Information on hardness of the water in your
area can be obtained from the relevant water supply com-
pany, or from your local authority. If the water hardness
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.
First use
• Ensure that the electrical and water connections
comply with the installation instructions.
• Remove the polystyrene block and any material
from the drum.
• 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.

Acoustic signals
The machine 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 washing machine is not
working.
There are two different ways to set this option:
1. Before pressing button 7: it will be impossible to
start the machine.
2. After pressing button 7: it will be impossible to
change any other programme or option.
To enable or disable this option press simultaneously for
about 6 seconds buttons 2 and 3 until on the display, the
icon
