[. . . ] Once the appliance is in the required position, put the lever back in place. Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital information on installation, use and safety. Remove the four protective screws and the rubber washer with the respective spacer, situated on the rear of the appliance (see figure). Keep all the parts: you will need them again if the washing machine needs to be moved to another location. [. . . ] The length of cycle shown on the display or in this booklet is an estimation only and is calculated assuming standard working conditions. The actual duration can vary according to factors such as water temperature and pressure, the amount of detergent used, the amount and type of load inserted, load balancing and any wash options selected. For all Test Institutes: 1) Test wash cycles in accordance with directives 1061/2010: set wash cycle 6 with a temperature of 60°C and 40°C. This cycle is designed for cotton loads with a normal soil level and is the most efficient in terms of both electricity and water consumption; it should be used for garments which can be washed at 60°C and 40°C. 2) Long wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle 6 with a temperature of 40°C. 3) Short wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle 3 with a temperature of 40°C. 4) Long wash cycle for synthetics: set wash cycle 4 with a temperature of 40°C. Specials wash cycles Mix 15’ (wash cycle 5) this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 15 minutes and therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting this wash cycle (5 at 30°C), it is possible to wash different fabrics together (except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 1. A high-temperature hygienic wash cycle (over 60°C) which requires the use of bleach. Pour the bleach, the detergent and the additives into the relevant compartments (see paragraph entitled “Detergent dispenser drawer”). Compartment 1: Detergent for pre-wash compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle (powder or liquid) It is recommended that you place liquid detergent directly into the compartment using the appropriate dosing cup. ) When pouring the softener in compartment 3, avoid exceeding the “max” level indicated. The softener is added automatically into the machine during the last wash. At the end of the wash programme, some water will be left in compartment 3. This is used for the inlet of denser fabric softeners into the machine, i. Should more than a normal amount of water remain in compartment 3, this means the emptying device is blocked. Load balancing system Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations and to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates continuously at a speed which is slightly greater than the washing rotation speed. If, after several attempts, the load is not balanced correctly, the machine spins at a reduced spin speed. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the washing machine performs the distribution process instead of spinning. To encourage improved load distribution and balance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed in the load. Preparing the laundry • Divide the laundry according to: - the type of fabric/the symbol on the label - the colours: separate coloured garments from whites. [. . . ] Caring for your appliance door and drum • Always leave the appliance door ajar to prevent unpleasant odours from forming. Cleaning the pump The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning pump that does not require any maintenance. Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into the prechamber that protects the pump, situated in the lower part of the same. Checking the water inlet hose Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. [. . . ]
