We recommend you load yourwashing machine to the maximumlevel, to economise on water andpower.We advise washing items of differentsizes together whenever possible, asthis optimises the washing processand favours the distribution of theload inside the drum on spin-drying,reducing noise.Wash small delicate items in a netbag.

SORTING THE CLOTHES

If you wish to use thedrying programme, firstcheck that the fabric issuitable for machine-drying. Consult the label.

Check yourwoollens aremachine-washablebeforewashing them.

a The detergent drawer of your washingmachine is divided into 3 compartments.

b Before washing, place the detergent andadditives in their correspondingcompartments.

c You can also use liquid detergents in thewashing machine. To do this, use theoptional compartment, which you canacquire by contacting the TechnicalAssistance Service.

Install this optional compartment in placeof the wash compartment.

The compartments are marked witha MAX line to show the maximumlevel to which they can be filled.

Remember that the amount of detergent tobe used depends on:

The amount of clothes to be washed. How dirty the clothes are. The hardness of the water (to find out the

water hardness in your area, contact therelevant local authorities).

We recommend you use an anti-scaleproduct if you live in a hard waterarea.

This option, specially recommended for heavilysoiled, stained clothes, achieves better resultsby extending the normal wash cycle.

The programme selected is associated witha certain spin speed.

a To change it, turn the spin speed selector.

b No spinTurn the spin speed selector to the “0”position to obtain a programme with nofinal spin, used to prevent particularlydelicate fabrics from creasing.

INTENSIVE WASH

The wash programme stops on the last rinse,with the clothes left in water. When the functionis deactivated, the washing machine continuesthe programme, draining and spin-drying.It is used, for example, when you are not athome and want to delay the spindrying untilyou get home, to prevent the clothes creasingafter spin-drying and being left in the drum tobe removed.To use it, turn the spin speed selector tothe full tub stop position.

FULL TUB STOP

using the appliance and practical tips

Increases the level of the final rinse obtainedin the clothes; suitable for large loads andgarments belonging to people with sensitiveskin. Increases water consumption!

EXTRA RINSE

This option prevents garments from creasingby means of carrying out a special programmewith special turns to fluff out the garmentsafter spin-drying and make them easier to iron.

5 WASH AND DRY PROGRAMME RUNNING ANDELECTRICITY CUTS

using the appliance and practical tipsPROGRAMME

RUNNING

When the programme starts up, the remainingtime until it finishes will appear on the screen.

Complementary functions can be selected atany time, providing the corresponding washingcycle has not finished and the programmeadmits this function.

If you press the Start/Pause button during thewashing process, the washing machine willstop and go onto PAUSE.

POWERCUTS

If a power cut should occur, when the electricitycomes back on the washing machine willcontinue functioning from where it left off (ithas a memory of several hours).

tips To reduce noise on spin drying, level the

washing machine by regulating the adjustablefeet.

You should wash clothes of different sizeson the same wash programme wheneverpossible, as this helps distribute the clothesinside the drum on spin-drying and improvesspin performance.

All the models have a safety system toprevent spin-drying from starting up if theclothes are too concentrated inside the drum.This protects the washing machine fromvibrating excessively. If you notice that theclothes are still too damp after spin drying,distribute them evenly inside the drum andthen run the spin dry cycle again.

If you change the programme on theprogramme selector dial duringwashing and drying, the washer dryerwill automatically go onto PAUSE andthe programme running will becancelled.

If you need to add or remove an item,press the Stop/Pause button. Checkthere is no danger of the wateroverflowing when you open the doorand that the water temperature is nottoo high. To restart and continue thewashing cycle, press the Start/Pausebutton again.

washing machinemaintenance and cleaning

After each wash programme, leave theloading door open for a short time so thatair can circulate around the washingmachine.

From time to time, depending on the waterhardness in your area, it is recommendableto run a full wash cycle using an anti-scaleproduct. This will prolong the life of yourwashing machine.

MAINTENANCE

Unplug the washing machine fromthe mains before carrying out anycleaning or maintenance operations.

You should clean the detergent drawerregularly to remove any wash productresidue remaining inside it.

a Pull outwards on the detergentdrawer to remove it completely.

b Use warm water and a brush toclean the compartments.

c Also take out the additivecompartment siphons, clean themand replace them.Then fit the drawer back into itshousing.

If the syphon is dirty or has not beencorrectly fitted it will prevent theadditives from being used and waterwill be left in the compartment afterwashing.Im

Solution: Redistribute the clothes evenly and run a spindry programme.If this failure occurs, C3 will appear on the display.

The washing machine is provided with an environment-friendly system able to adapt to the load and type of fabrics,adjusting the levels of water and energy used. So, althoughthe water level you can see through the door may looklow, there is no cause for concern as washing and rinsingefficiency will still be optimum.

safety and troubleshooting

Check the detergent drawer is clean. To clean it, follow theinstructions in Maintenance and Cleaning of theappliance.

1- Cleaning the detergent drawer.

Today’s washing machines are equipped with user safetysystems. The washing machine door cannot be opened ifthe drum has not totally come to a halt. You therefore needto wait around 2 minutes before you can open the door.

The time is for information purposes and it can be affectedby the real conditions of the selected wash programme:the initial water temperature, the load of clothes, unbalancecaused by the load on spin drying, etc.

Other problems may affect the washing machine. In thiscase, the indications F05, F06 etc. through to F10 willappear on the display. Contact the Authorised TechnicalServices.

Why is there water left in thedetergent drawer?

Why can’t I open the dooras soon as the washprogramme ends?

Why doesn’t the timeremaining on the clockcoincide with the real end-of-cycle time selected?
