The washing machine has a unique "Sports Wear" programme.  
It is specially designed to wash mixed sportswear fabrics that cannot  
be washed on hotter programmes and is designed to remove the soil  
and staining created by participation in sports activities. This  
programme starts with a cold prewash that breaks down and loosens  
any excess dirt and then washes at a cool 30°C, rinses and spins  
slowly for the best care of your heavily soiled, delicate garments.  
The programmes have been designed for a maximum wash and the  
rinses, with spin intervals, ensure perfect rinsing.  
The final spin gives more efficient removal of water.

The main wash and the rinse provides the best results due to the  
rotation rhythms of the drum and to the water levels.  
A gentle spin will mean that the fabrics become less creased.  
DAILY WASH 40°C – FAST PROGRAMMES  
By maintaining exceptional washing performance, these programmes  
allow you to know in advance the necessary time for your everyday  
laundry. In fact, this washing machine is equipped with 2 daily rapid  
programmes at 40°C, that were developed for lightly soiled fabrics and  
medium or little load.  
SPECIAL DELICATE FIBRES  
This is a new wash cycle which alternates washing and soaking and is  
particularly recommended for very delicate fabrics. The wash cycle  
and rinses are carried out with high water levels to ensure best results.  
SPECIAL “RINSE” PROGRAMME  
This programme carries out three rinses with a spin at 800 rpm. It can  
be used for rinsing any type of fabric, eg. use after hand-washing.  
DAILY WASH 40°C – FAST 44'

Automatic Variable Capacity  
The washing machine is fitted with an automatic reduction in consumption system (known as  
Automatic Variable Capacity).  
Detergent drawer  
P
This system enables the machine to use the amount of water needed to wash and rinse the  
laundry in relation to the particular load.  
This results in a reduction in the amount of water used and electricity needed to heat it to the  
minimum required, without in any way compromising the washing and rinsing performance.  
In fact the amount of water and electricity used will always be appropriate for the amount of  
washing.  
The detergent draw is split into 3 compartments:  
- the first, labelled "I", is for prewash detergent;  
- the second, labelled "II", is for main wash detergent.  
The washing machine therefore ensures you achieve excellent washing results whilst  
respecting the environment and saving you money.  
- the third, labelled "  
brighteners etc.  
" is for special additives, fabric softeners, fragrances, starch,  
Note: only put liquid products in the third compartment.  
The machine is programmed to automatically take up additives during the final rinse stage for  
all wash cycles.

Dosages  
Detergents, washing aids and amounts to use  
Choice of detergent  
Only use detergents which are suitable for use in a washing machine.  
You will obtain the best results from your wash with the minimum use of chemical products  
and the best care for your laundry if you take into consideration the degree of soiling as well  
as the type of detergent to choose.  
The amount of detergent to use depends on:  
- water hardness: depending on the hardness of the water and the type of detergent used, it  
is possible to reduce the amount of detergent.  
General purpose detergents  
-
-
Powder detergents, for a thorough wash, with bleaching agent, particularly suitable for  
use in hot wash programmes (60°C and over), for heavily soiled and stained laundry.  
Liquid detergents, particularly suitable for grease stains, such as greasy skin marks,  
cosmetics and oil.  
-
the degree of soiling: it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent used depending on  
the degree of soiling.  
These detergents are not suitable for washing stained laundry, as they do not contain  
bleach.  
Biological detergents, not all the products available give a really thorough wash.  
-
amount of laundry: it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent when washing only a  
small amount of laundry.  
-
Special detergents  
Dosage for powder detergent  
-
-
-
-
Detergents for coloureds and delicates, without added bleach, also often without any  
optical brightening agents, to preserve the colour.  
For normal and low concentration detergents: for normally soiled laundry choose a  
programme without prewash.  
Detergents for a thorough wash, without added bleach or enzymes, particularly suitable  
for handling woollen fibres.  
Detergents for curtains with optical brightening agents, resistant to light, to prevent  
yellowing from sunlight.  
Special detergents for programmed use of chemical substances, depending on fabric  
type, degree of soiling and water hardness.  
Put the detergent in compartment “II” of the drawer.  
For heavily soiled laundry, choose a programme with prewash.  
Put 1/4 of the detergent in compartment “I”, 3/4 in compartment “II” of the drawer.  
When using water softeners, first put in the detergent, then add the softener to compartment “II”.  
For highly concentrated detergents not in single dose format, follow what is shown on pack  
exactly as regards type and amount of dosage.  
To avoid the difficulty of checking if the detergent has been taken up, use the dosage aids  
provided in the detergent packaging.  
Here basic detergents, softeners, bleaches/stain removers can be added separately.  
Liquid detergent dosage  
Additional laundry aids  
Liquid detergents may be used in accordance with the instructions on the relevant  
packaging, for all programmes without prewash, by using the special container which is  
placed in the drum or, for those models that have it, in the special insert for liquid detergents.  
-
Water softener, means less detergent can be used where water hardness is classed as  
hard to very hard.  
-
Prewash substances, for the programmed treatment of stains prior to the main wash.  
Using them means the subsequent wash can be at a low temperature or with bleach-free  
detergents.  
-
Fabric softener, prevents static build-up in synthetic fabrics and softens fabrics.  
If you own a tumble dryer, clothes are softened even without the use of a fabric softener.  
Do not put solvents in the washing machine!  
Keep detergents and other laundry products out of children’s reach.  
Before pouring in the detergent check that there are no foreign bodies in the detergent  
drawer.  
Dosage details are usually shown on the detergent packaging. Follow those instructions.

Useful advice for users  
Sorting the laundry  
Tips on using your domestic appliance in the most environmentally-friendly and economical  
way  
-
It is recommended you wash only items which are machine washable with water and  
detergent and not dry-clean items.  
-
-
If you need to wash rugs, bedspreads or other heavy items, it is best not to spin them.  
Do a full load in your washing machine  
To prevent any possible waste of energy, water or detergent we recommend that you put a  
full load in your washing machine, do not exceed the maximum loads shown below:  
Sort the laundry according to fabric type, degree of soiling and wash temperature: Always  
follow the wash care advice on the garment label for the most suitable care and  
treatment of the laundry

Up to 50% energy saving can be made with one full load compared to two half load washes  
Wash by hand  
When is prewashing really needed?  
Items labelled with the following symbol are not suitable for machine washing:  
Only with particularly dirty loads!  
Energy savings of 5 to 15% are made by not selecting the prewash option for normal soiled  
laundry.  
Dry clean  
For very delicate items, such as net curtains, underwear, tights etc., you are advised to  
use a laundry net or wash bag.  
-
-
Woollen items must be labelled with the "Pure New Wool" symbol to be washed in the  
machine, and must also be labelled "non-matting" or "machine washable".  
Colour often leaks from new coloured items.  
This can then colour other lighter items being washed.  
We therefore recommend that coloured items should be washed for the first time  
separately.  
Which wash temperature should you choose?  
Using stain removers before machine washing reduces the need to wash at temperatures  
over 60°C.  
Energy savings of up to 50% can be made by using a 60°C wash temperature rather than  
90°C  
For future washes, colourfast items can only be washed with whites up to 40°C.  
Note: when sorting laundry  
-
check there are no metal objects in the laundry  
(such as paper clips, safety pins, pins, coins  
etc...);  
-
button up pillowcases, fasten zips, hook & eye  
fasteners, belts and long dressing gown cords;  
remove curtain hooks;  
pay close attention to the labels on items  
if you notice stubborn stains whilst sorting the  
laundry, remove them using a special detergent or  
a special stain remover.  
-
-
-
-
We recommend that you do not do a full load of towelling items only as these become too  
heavy since they absorb a lot of water.

The correct way to wash  
Cleaning and routine maintenance  
Do not use alcohol-based scourers and /or thinners on the outside of your washing machine,  
just a wipe with a damp cloth will suffice. The washing machine needs very little maintenance:  
- Cleaning the drawer compartments.  
Preparing the laundry  
A) Select the laundry.  
Loading the laundry  
B) Open the porthole.  
- Cleaning the filter.  
C) Put the laundry in the washing machine.  
Close the porthole again, ensuring that no items of  
laundry are obstructing the lock.  
Cleaning the drawer compartments  
Even if it is not strictly necessary, it is good to clean the  
compartments for detergents and additives occasionally.  
A) To do this you just need to pull them out firmly, but  
without forcing them.  
B) Clean everything in the compartment under running  
water.  
Putting detergent in machine  
D) Open the drawer, choose the detergent and put in the  
correct amount, according to the manufacturer’s  
instructions and the advice on page 16.  
Add any other laundry aids (see page 16). Close the  
drawer again.  
C) Put everything back in its proper place.  
Cleaning the filter  
Selecting the wash programme  
The washing machine is fitted with a special filter for  
handling large deposits which could block the discharge  
hose (coins, buttons etc.) and which can, therefore, be  
easily retrieved.  
We recommend that the filter be cleaned at least  
once a month.  
Refer to the programme guide to select the most suitable programme.  
Activate the programme by turning the selector knob.  
Wait for the "END" indicator light to flash.  
Set the temperature using the temperature control knob.  
Press additional function buttons (if required).  
The cleaning operation is as follows:  
1) Ease off the plinth cover as shown in picture.  
Check that the tap is turned on and that the discharge  
hose is positioned correctly.  
2) Use the base as a tray to collect leftover water in  
filter.  
Press the "Start/Pause" button.  
When the "Start/Pause" button is pressed the machine  
sets the working sequence in motion.  
3) Loosen the screw which holds the filter in place.  
Turn the filter anti-clockwise until it stops in the  
vertical position.  
The programme carries out with the programme selector  
stationary on the selected programme till cycle ends.  
Remove and clean.  
4) After cleaning, replace the filter and lock by  
tightening the filter screw. Then follow all procedures  
described above in reverse order.  
Warning: If there is any break in the power supply while  
the machine is operating, a special memory stores the  
selected programme and, when the power is restored, it  
continues where it left off.  
Attention: if the filter needs cleaning while there is  
washing still in the drum, follow the instructions on the  
following page to empty the water. This will prevent  
excessive loss of water via the filter.  
When the programme is finished  
The indicator light “END” will go on.  
Wait for the door lock to be released (about 2 minutes after the programme has finished).  
Switch off the machine by turning the programme selector to the “OFF” position.  
Open the door and remove the laundry. Turn off the tap.

Note:  
The use of environmentally-friendly, phosphate-free detergents can have the following effects:  
-
-
-
-
waste water from rinsing may be cloudier because of the presence of zeolites held in  
suspension, without the rinse performance being adversely affected;  
presence of white powder (zeolites) on laundry after washing, which is not absorbed by  
the fabric and does not alter the colour of the fabric.  
The presence of foam in the final rinsing water is not necessarily an indication of poor  
rinsing.  
Anionic surfactants used in washing detergent formulae often prove to be difficult to  
remove from the laundry itself and, even in small quantities, can still cause considerable  
foam production.  
-
Carrying out more rinse cycles does not serve any purpose in such cases.
