  WARNING: 
  only use liquid products; the washing machine is set to automatically dose additives at each cycle during the last rinse.
• compartment “2”: for washing detergent. A liquid detergent cup is also included IN SOME MODELS (fig. 10). To use it, place it in compartment “2”. This way, liquid detergent will only enter the drum at the right time. The cup can also be used for bleach when the “Rinse” program is selected.
  WARNING: 
  some detergents are not designed for use in the dispenser drawer but are supplied with their own dispenser that is placed in the drum directly.
  SOME MODELS are provided with the automatic dosage, this carries out a precise measurement of detergent and softener. In this case, refer to the specific section in the CONTROLS AND PROGRAMS chapter for details.

PRACTICAL HINTS

Load tips
When sorting laundry, make sure:

• • have eliminated metallic objects such as hair clips, pins, coins, from laundry;
  • to have buttoned pillow cases, closed zips, tied loose belts and long robe ribbons;
  • to have removed rollers, hooks or clips from curtains;
  • to have carefully read clothing washing labels;
  • to have removed any persistent stains using specific detergents.
• When washing rugs, bedcovers or other heavy clothing, we recommend you avoid the spinning cycle.
• To wash wool, make sure the item can be machine washed. Check the fabric label.
• Leave the appliance’s door slightly open between washes, to prevent possible bad smells developing inside the machine.

Useful advice for saving
Tips on how to save money and not damage the environment when using your appliance.

• Load the machine to the highest capacity shown in the programme table for each programme – this will allow you to SAVE energy and water.
• Noise and residual laundry moisture are affected by spin speed: a faster spin is associated with greater noise and lower residual moisture in the laundry.
• The most efficient programmes in terms of combined use of water and energy are usually the longer-lasting ones with lower temperature.
• Maximise the load size
  Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent and time by using the recommended maximum load size. Save up to 50% energy by washing a full load instead of 2 half loads.
• Do you need to pre-wash?
  For heavily soiled laundry only!
  SAVE detergent, time, water and between 5 to 15% energy consumption by NOT selecting Prewash for slight to normally soiled laundry.
• Is a hot wash required?
  Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried in stains in water before washing to reduce the necessity of a hot wash programme. Save energy by using a low temperature wash programme.
• Before using a drying programme (WASHER-DRYERS) 
  SAVE energy and time by selecting a high spin speed to reduce the water content in laundry before using a drying programme.

Dosing the detergent
Below is a short guide with tips and advice on the use of detergent.

• Only use detergents suitable for machine washing.
• Select your detergent according to the type of fabric (cotton, delicates, synthetics, wool, silk, etc.), the colour, the type and level of soiling and the programmed washing temperature.
• To use the right amount of detergent, softener or any other additives, carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions every time: correctly using the appliance with the right dose allows you to avoid waste and to reduce the environmental impact.

When washing heavily soiled whites, we recommend using cotton programs of 60°C or above and a normal washing powder (heavy duty) that contains bleaching agents that at medium/high temperatures provide excellent results.

For washes between 40°C and 60°C the type of detergent used needs to be appropriate for the type of fabric and level of soiling. Normal powders are suitable for “white” or colour fast fabrics with high soiling, while liquid detergents or “colour protecting” powders are suitable for coloured fabrics with light levels of soiling.

For washing at temperatures below 40°C we recommend the use of liquid detergents or detergents specifically labeled as suitable for low-temperature washing.

For washing wool or silk, only use detergents specifically formulated for these fabrics.

• Too much detergent leads to excessive foam, which prevents the cycle being carried out correctly. It could also affect the quality of the washing and rinsing.

The use of ecological detergents without phosphates may cause the following effects:

• cloudier rinse drain water: This effect is tied to the suspended zeolites which do not have negative effects on rinse efficiency.
• white powder (zeolites) on laundry at the end of the wash: this is normal, the powder is not absorbed by the fabric and does not change its color. To remove the zeolites, select a rinsing program. In the future consider using slightly less detergent.
• foam in the water at last rinse: this does not necessarily indicate poor rinsing. Consider using less detergent in future washes.
• abundant foam: This is often due to the anionic surfactants found in the detergents which are hard to eliminate from laundry. In this case, do not re-rinse to eliminate these effects: it will not help at all. We suggest conducting a maintenance wash using a proprietary cleaner.

If the problem persists or if you suspect a malfunction, immediately contact an Authorised Customer Service Centre.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Looking after your appliance correctly can extend its lifespan.

Cleaning the appliance’s exterior

• Disconnect the machine from the power supply.
• Clean the appliance’s external cabinet, using a damp cloth and AVOIDING ABRASIVES, ALCOHOL AND/OR DILUENTS.

Drawer cleaning

• It is advisable to regularly clean the detergent drawer to avoid the accumulation of detergent and additive residues.
• Remove the drawer gently but firmly.
• Clean the drawer under running water and put it back into its compartment. FOR MODELS WITH AUTOMATIC LIQUID DETERGENT AND SOFTENER DOSING SYSTEM:
  Before proceeding with cleaning, all the compartments must be empty.
• Pull out the drawer completely by pressing the release button, paying attention to the leakage of detergent residues.
  
• Fill the drawer with hot water.
  
• Shake the drawer in order to let the water flow in all the compartments.
  
• Empty the drawer from excess water and reinsert it completely.

WARNING: 
DO NOT use acid products (for example vinegar) or aggressive detergents to clean the drawer, in order to avoid damaging the seals and/or internal parts of the appliance.

Cleaning the pump filter

• The appliance has a special filter that traps larger residues that could block the draining system, such as buttons or coins (depending on the model, consider version A or B).
  We recommend checking and cleaning the filter 5 or 6 times a year.
• Disconnect the machine from the power supply.
• Ensure all the water has been emptied from the drum.
• Before unscrewing the filter, we recommend you place an absorbent cloth under it to keep the floor dry. A small amount of water will come out of the filter as you remove it – this is normal.
• Turn the filter counter-clockwise to the limit stop.
• Remove and clean the filter; when finished, replace it turning it clockwise. The filter handle will be locked when it is not possible to turn any further and the handle is horizontal. Smearing a small amount of liquid soap on the filter seal will help refitting.
• Repeat the previous steps in reverse order to reassemble all parts.
  

Suggestions for moves or prolonged disuse

• If the appliance is kept in a non-heated room for long periods of time, all water residues must be completely removed from the pipes.
• Disconnect the machine from the power supply socket.
• Detach the tube from the drainage system and clip on the rear of the machine and lower it, fully draining water into a bowl.
• Secure the drain tube with the drainage system and clip on the rear of the machine when finished.
• Keep the door glass and gasket clean.

FOR MODELS WITH AUTOMATIC LIQUID DETERGENT AND SOFTENER DOSING SYSTEM:
should you need to tilt or move the machine, remove the detergent drawer before proceeding, keeping it horizontal so as to avoid any leakage.
