Programme  
Steam can be used for dried, washed or worn once laundry. These pro-  
grammes can reduce creases and odours and make your laundry more  
smooth.  
Do not use any detergent. If necessary, remove stains by washing or using  
localized stain removal.  
Steam programmes do not perform any hygienic cycle.  
Do not set the Steam programme for this type of clothes:  
• Clothes which is not specified on the care label as being suitable for tumble-  
drying.  
• Clothes with inclusion of plastic, metal, wooden parts or alike.  
1)  
If you set a Steam programme with dried laundry, at the end of the cycle the laundry feels  
humid. It is better to expose clothes to the fresh air for about 10 minutes to let the humidity  
dry. Laundry should be removed from the drum as quick as possible. After a steam cycle,  
clothes may to be ironed anyway, but with less effort!

HINTS AND TIPS  
THE LAUNDRY LOAD  
DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES  
• Divide the laundry in: white, coloured,  
synthetics, delicates and wool.  
• Only use detergents and additives spe-  
cially made for washing machines.  
• Obey the washing instructions that are  
on the laundry care labels.  
• Do not mix different types of deter-  
gents.  
• Do not wash together white and col-  
oured items.  
• Some coloured items can discolour with  
the first wash. We recommend that you  
wash them separately for the first times.  
• To help the environment, do not use  
more than the correct quantity of deter-  
gent.  
• Obey the instructions that you find on  
the on packaging of these products.  
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,  
hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.  
• Empty the pockets and unfold the  
items.  
• Use the correct products for the type  
and colour of the fabric, the pro-  
gramme temperature and the level of  
soil.  
• If you use liquid detergents, do not set  
the prewash phase.  
• If your appliance has not the detergent  
dispenser with the flap device, add the  
liquid detergents with a dosing ball.  
• Turn inside out multilayered fabrics,  
wool and items with painted illustra-  
tions.  
• Remove hard stains.  
• Wash with a special detergent heavy  
soil stains.  
• Be careful with the curtains. Remove  
the hooks or put the curtains in a wash-  
ing bag or pillowcase.  
• Do not wash in the appliance :  
– Laundry without hems or with cuts  
– Underwired bras.  
– Use a washing bag to wash small  
items.  
• A very small load can cause balance  
problems with the spin phase. If this oc-  
curs, adjust manually the items in the  
tub and start the spin phase again.  
WATER HARDNESS  
If the water hardness in your area is high  
or moderate, we recommend that you use  
a water softener for washing machines. In  
areas where the water hardness is soft it is  
not necessary to use a water softener.  
To know the water hardness in your area,  
contact your local water authority.  
Obey the instructions that you find on the  
packaging of the products.  
Equivalent scales measure the water hard-  
ness:  
• German degrees (°dH).  
• French degrees (°TH).  
STUBBORN STAINS  
• mmol/l (millimol for each litre - interna-  
tional unit for the hardness of water).  
• Clarke degrees.  
For some stains, water and detergent is  
not sufficient.  
We recommend that you remove these  
stains before you put the items in the ap-  
pliance.  
Special stain removers are available. Use  
the special stain remover that is applica-  
ble to the type of stain and fabric.

WARNING!  
the drum. Make regularly a maintenance  
wash. To do this:  
• Empty the laundry from the drum.  
• Set the hottest cotton wash programme  
• Use a correct quantity of powder deter-  
gent with biological properties.  
After each wash, keep the door open for a  
while to prevent mould and to let un-  
pleasant smells go out.  
Disconnect the appliance from the mains  
supply before you clean it.  
DESCALING  
The water we use contains limescale. If it  
becomes necessary, use a water softener  
to remove limescales.  
Use a special product made for washing  
machines. Obey the instructions that you  
find on the packaging of the manufactur-  
er.  
DRUM  
Regularly examine the drum to prevent  
limescale and rust particles.  
Only use special products to remove rust  
particles from the drum.  
To do this:  
• Clean the drum with special product for  
stainless steel.  
• Start a short programme for cotton at  
the maximum temperature with a small  
quantity of detergent.  
Do this separately from the laundry wash.  
EXTERNAL CLEANING  
Clean the appliance only with soap and  
warm water. Fully dry all the surfaces.  
CAUTION!  
Do not use alcohol, solvents or  
chemical products.  
MAINTENANCE WASH

WARNING!  
We recommend that you keep the  
packaging and the transit bolts for  
when you move the appliance.  
Remove all the packaging and the  
transit bolts before you install the  
appliance.  
POSITIONING AND LEVELLING  
• Install the appliance on a flat hard floor.  
• Make sure that carpets do not stop the  
air circulation below the appliance.  
• Make sure that the appliance does not  
touch the wall or other units  
• Loosen or tighten the feet to adjust the  
level. A correct adjustment of the appli-  
ance level prevents the vibration, noise  
and the movement of the appliance  
when in operation.  
x4  
• The appliance must be level and stable.  
CAUTION!  
Do not put cardboard, wood or  
equivalent materials below the  
appliance feet to adjust the level.  
 
ENGLISH

THE INLET HOSE  
• Connect the hose to the appliance.  
Turn the inlet hose only left or right.  
Loose the ring nut to set it in the cor-  
rect position.  
O
45  
O
20  
• Connect the water inlet hose to the  
cold water tap with 3/4 thread.  
CAUTION!  
Make sure that there are no leaks  
from the couplings.  
Do not use an extension hose if  
the inlet hose is too short. Contact  
the service centre for the replace-  
ment of the inlet hose.  
Water-stop device  
The inlet hose has a water stop device.  
This device prevents water leaks in the  
hose because of its natural ageing. The  
red sector in the window «A» shows this  
fault .  
If this occur, close the water tap and con-  
tact the service centre to replace the  
hose.  
A
WATER DRAINAGE  
There are different procedures to connect  
the drain hose:  
 
32  
With the plastic hose guide.  
• On the edge of a sink.  
• Make sure that the plastic guide cannot  
move when the appliance drains. At-  
tach the guide to the water tap or the  
wall.  
• To a stand pipe with vent-hole.  
Refer to the illustration. Directly into a  
drain pipe at a height of not less than  
60 cm and not more than 100 cm. The  
end of the drain hose must always be  
ventilated , i.e. the inner diameter of  
the drainpipe must be larger than the  
external diameter of the drain hose.  
Without the plastic hose guide.  
• To a sink spigot.  
Refer to the illustration. Put the drain  
hose in the spigot and tighten it with a  
clip. Make sure that the drain hose  
makes a loop to prevent that remaining  
particles go in the appliance from the  
sink.  
• Directly to a built-in drain pipe in the  
room wall and tighten it with a clip.  
 
ENGLISH  
33  
You can extend the drain hose to  
maximum 400 cm. Contact the  
service centre for the other drain  
hose and the extension.
