[. . . ] Weigh the laundry the first few times you use the appliance. The average weights of the most common items are listed below as a guide: s Some stains such as fruit, wine, grass, rust etc. are difficult to remove and should be treated before washing with specific products, which can be found in most household shops. In some cases it may help to soak the stain before washing with a special pre-soak product or biological detergent. Only wool marked «Pure New Wool - washable, preshrunk» can be washed in the machine using the wool programme; other types of wool should be washed by hand or dry cleaned. If you have used the machine to wash, rinse or spin only non-colour fast garments, there may be dye left in the sump. To ensure any subsequent wash is not contaminated with the dye, select and carry out a rinse and spin programme, without any garments, to ensure that any dye is removed from the sump. When drying always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin speed the lower is electric energy consumption during drying and the shorter is the drying time. Do not leave the damp laundry load in a heap too long before drying. Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy items such as towels as these can attract the fluff.

Once the dispenser has been filled, close it by pushing it in gently. This is particularly important if you are using fabric conditioner to avoid the conditioner entering the machine prematurely. When using liquid detergent and a prewash programme, place the detergent into the correct compartment in the dispenser drawer, after the prewash has finished. 9 Programmes for cotton and linen Washing Recommended load: max. 4. 5 kg (10 lb) Compartments to use ( if required) Programmes Degree of soil Programme dial position Description WHITES WITH PREWASH WHITES WITHOUT PREWASH Heavy 1 2 3 4 5 6 Prewash at 40°C Wash at 95 °C 4 rinses Spin Wash at 95 °C 4 rinses Spin Wash at 60 °C 4 rinses Spin Wash at 40 °C 4 rinses Spin Normal FAST COLOUREDS Normal NON FAST COLOUREDS Normal RINSES 3 rinses with fabric softener, if added Spin SPIN 1000 Spin at 1000 rpm Water filling: 30°/40°/50° programmes: cold water filling Water filling: 60° programmes: hot and cold filling Water filling: 95° programmes: hot filling only The washing programme 3 at 60°C and the drying programme "cupboard dry" for cotton are the reference programmes for the Energy label, according to the EEC Directive 92/75 Drying at full heat Recommended load: max. 2. 25 kg (5 lbs) Programme Fabric type Quantity 2. 25 kg (5 lbs) 1. 5 kg (3 lbs) 2. 25 kg (5 lbs) 1. 5 kg (3 lbs) Degree of dryness Cupboard dry Drying time 75-85 mins 55-65 mins 50-60 mins 40-50 mins 7 Cotton and linen spun at 1000 rpm Iron dry 10 Programmes for synthetics, delicates and wool Washing Recommended load: max. 1 kg (2. 2 lb) Compartments to use ( if required) Programmes Degree of soil Programme dial position Description MIXED FABRICS Normal 8 9 Wash at 50 °C 3 rinses Short spin (*) SPIN 850 Draining of water and short spin at 850 rpm Wash at 40 °C 3 rinses Short spin (*) Wash at 40 °C 3 rinses Short spin (*) Wash at 30 °C 3 rinses Short spin (*) 3 rinses, with fabric softener, if required Short spin (*) DELICATES Normal 11 12 13 14 15 WOOL WASH Normal 30 QUICK & COOL WASH Light RINSES DRAIN Draining of water (*) If the "RINSE HOLD" button has not been depressed.

To ensure you obtain the best wash results from your appliance, it is important to use the right detergent in your everyday wash, and only detergents recommended for use in automatic machines. To maintain the appearance of your clothes and household textiles and to make them last longer you should use different types of detergent for different washes, whether for whites, colours or delicates. Coloureds For coloured items you should use a detergent which is designed to clean while maintaining the original colour. [. . . ] Replace the filters and tighten up the inlet hoses. P0041 P0132 P0133 Clean carefully under a fast running tap. P0040 Warning When the appliance is in use and depending on the programme selected there can be hot water in the filter.
