 PREPARING THE WASH
1. Sort the laundry according to:
• Type of fabric / care label symbol
Cottons, mixed fibres, easy care, wool.
• Colour
Separate whites and coloureds. Wash new
coloured items separately.
• Size
Wash items of different sizes in the same load to
improve washing efficiency and distribute the load
more evenly inside the drum.
• Fabric delicacy
Wash delicate articles separately: use a special
programme for Pure New Wool , curtains and
other delicates. Always remove curtain glides or
wash curtains with the glides inside a cotton bag.
Only wash fabrics that are suitable for machine
washing.
Wash stockings, belts and other small items or
articles with hooks (e.g. bras) in special cotton bags
for washing machines or in zipped pillow cases.
2. Empty pockets
Coins, safety pins and similar can damage your
laundry and the appliance drum and tub.
3. Fasteners
Close zips and fasten buttons or hooks; loose belts
or ribbons should be tied together.
STAIN REMOVAL
• Blood, milk, egg and other organic substances are
generally removed by the enzyme phase of the
programme.
• To remove red wine, coffee, tea, grass and fruit
stains etc. add a stain removing agent in the
detergent dispenser compartment .
• Particularly stubborn stains should be treated
before the wash.
LOADING THE LAUNDRY
1. Open the door.
2. Unfold the laundry and place it loosely in the drum.
3. Close the door.
RECOMMENDED LOADS
See separate programme chart.
Note: Overloading will result in unsatisfactory washing
results and creased laundry.

 REMOVING THE FILTER / DRAINING RESIDUAL WATER
WHEN SHOULD THE FILTER BE REMOVED?
• Check the filter regularly, two or three times a year
and clean it if necessary.
• Check the filter if the appliance is not draining
properly or if it fails to perform spin cycles.
• Remove the filter if the pump is blocked by an object
(buttons, coins, safety pins, etc.).
IMPORTANT: make sure the water has had time to
cool before draining the appliance.
REMOVING THE FILTER
1. Switch off the appliance (set the programme
selector to “0”).
2. Remove the coloured insert from the detergent
dispenser and use it to open the filter cover.
3. Place a bowl beneath the filter.
4. Turn the filter slowly anti-clockwise until the grip is
vertical; do not extract filter as yet.
5. Wait until all the water has drained out.
6. Now unscrew the filter completely and extract it.
7. Remove any foreign material from the filter.
8. Make sure the pump impeller is not obstructed.
9. Insert the filter and screw it fully down in a
clockwise direction (until the grip is horizontal).
10. Close the cover.
11. Pour 0.5 l of water into the detergent dispenser to
reactivate the “Eco System”.
12. Select the programme and hold down the “Start”
button about one second.
WHEN SHOULD THE RESIDUAL WATER BE
DRAINED?
• Before transporting (moving) the machine.
• If the appliance is installed in a room subject to sub-
zero temperatures. It is best in this case to drain the
machine after every wash.
DRAINING RESIDUAL WATER
The residual water drain hose is accommodated in the
appliance plinth.
1. Unscrew the plastic screw using the thick rounded
projection on the coloured insert from the detergent
dispenser or using a coin.
2. Grip the end of the drain tube and pull out about a 12
inch length. Remove the cap from the end of the tube.
3. Allow all the water to flow into a bowl, then refit the plug
and stow the drain tube back in its compartment.
4. Before using the machine again, pour about 1 litre
of water into the detergent dispenser to reactivate
the “Eco system”.

 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WATER SUPPLY
• Water supply: cold water only
• Tap(s): 3/4" threaded hose connection
• Pressure: 10-100 N/cm² (1-10 bar).
WATER INLET HOSE(S)
1. The mesh filter supplied with the appliance must
be inserted in the connection between the inlet
hose(s) and the tap(s).
2. Carefully screw the hose connection to the tap(s)
preferably by hand. Make sure there are no kinks
in the hose and that it is not crushed.
3. Check water-tightness of tap(s) and appliance
connections by turning the tap(s) completely on.
