[. . . ] It lights off when the ON/OFF pushbutton ( ) is pressed out. Half load pushbutton " " If pressed in at the beginning of a wash programme, it allows to wash economically small quantities of laundry, up to 2, 5 kg of resistant laundry (cotton-linen). This pushbutton is without effect on the synthetic and wool programmes. Rinse hold pushbutton " " Press this button to leave the water in the drum after the wash cycle is completed. This works only on synthetic, wool or delicate programmes. The clothes are left suspended in water after the final rinse to prevent the formation of creases. You can end these programmes by a draining by depressing this button or select the programme G for a spinning phase. Spinning speed selector It enables to select the spinning speed of your washing machine from 400 to 800 rpm. Thus, you can choose the spinning speed suiting best to the nature of your laundry and to the degree of humidity wished at the end of the wash. Programme selector It enables to select the most adapted programme to the nature and degrees of soil of your laundry. Turn the programme selector clockwise to select the chosen programme. The programme selector indicates each programme phase as it takes place. At the end of the washing Damp laundry should be dried as soon as possible after finishing the wash. Knitwear and woollens should be dried flat away from direct sunlight. Sort your laundry. Study carefully the chart in this booklet explaining the symbols used on clothes labels (see page 9). The following points are particularly important : a line under the bowl means that the garment cannot be washed using programmes for resistant fabrics such as cotton and linen; do not mix coloured garments with whites; anticrease materials like polyester/cotton should be treated as synthetics; non-resistant fabrics like acrylic and most curtain materials should be treated as delicate fabrics; the wool programme is designed specifically for pure new wool. Other types of wool and wool mixtures may shrink or felt if machine-washed. Woollen garments should be spun briefly immediately after washing. Pre-wash Pre-wash is not normally necessary. Your new washing machine combined with modern detergents will give perfect washing results without pre-wash, thus saving energy, time, water and detergent. <<Concentrated>> powder detergents Pour the concentrated powder detergent into the main wash ( ) compartment. Avoid selecting programmes including prewash when concentrated detergents are used. LIquid detergents Using the new automatic dispenser for liquid detergents, it is possible to use a liquid detergent for main wash phases. Liquid detergents can be used instead of powder detergents particularly for lightly soiled laundry and for medium or low temperature washing programmes, while it is better to use a powder detergent for high temperature washing programmes. Liquid additives Any liquid additives for softening the laundry must be poured into the compartment of the detergent dispenser drawer before starting the programme. The addition of water softener is particularly useful when drying the clothes in a tumble dryer after washing to avoid a static charge. [. . . ] It is advisable, from time to time, to carry out a complete cycle without a washing load, adding a decalcifying product. To help you clean them and remove any powder clots, the hoppers of the machine powder dispensers are removable. Cleaning the detergent dispenser The detergent dispenser is very easy to remove. Just turn the two screws 1/4 of a turn and slide the box towards the top fig. 2 Cleaning the pump filter The machine has got another mecanic filter located on the front part to collect lint and small objects (toothpins, coins, pins, etc. ) inadvertently left in the clothes.
