Washing programmes 23
Programme information
Special programme for white and coloured cotton suitable
for different washing temperatures. This programme can be
used for laundry, which should be washed at 40°C or 60°C
separately. So, you can put into the drum the maximum
load capacity in order to save energy and water. You will
obtain the same good washing result as a normal
programme at 60°C.
40 ECO
Selecting this programme the laundry is gently washed
and spun to avoid any creasing. In this way ironing is
easier. Furthermore the machine will perform additional
rinses.
EASY IRON PLUS
Washing programme for machine washable wool as well
as for hand washable woollens and delicate fabrics with

Special program at 30°C, duration - approx. 30 minutes,
ideal for laundry to be refreshed: e.g. a sport jacket worn
only once or slightly soiled or new garments.
SUPERQUICK
ECONOMY
This programme can be selected for slightly or normally
soiled cotton items. The temperature will decrease and the
washing time will be extended. This allows to obtain a
good washing efficiency by saving energy.
With this programme it is possible to rinse and spin
garments which have been washed by hand. The machine
performs 3 rinses, followed by a final short spin. The spin
speed can be reduced by relevant button.

Preparing the wash cycle 25
Preparing the wash cycle
Sorting out the laundry
Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label and the manufacturer’s
washing instructions. Sort the laundry as follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics,
delicates, woollens.
Temperatures
for normally soiled white cottons and linen (e.g. tea cloths,
towels, tablecloths, sheets...).
95° or 90°
60°/50°
for normally soiled, colour fast garments (e.g. shirts, night
dresses, pyjamas....) in linen, cotton or synthetic fibres and
for lightly soiled white cotton (e.g. underwear).
for delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed laundry
including synthetic fibres and woollens bearing the label
«pure new wool, machine washable, non-shrink».
40°-30°- Cold
Before loading the laundry
Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites may lose their “whiteness” in
the wash.
New coloured items may run in the first wash; they should therefore be washed
separately the first time.
Make sure that no metal objects are left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips,
safety pins, pins).
Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or
long tapes.
Remove persistent stains before washing.
Rub particularly soiled areas with a special detergent or detergent paste.
Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or tie them up in a bag or net.
Maximum loads
Recommended loads are indicated in the washing programme charts.
General rules:
Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed;
Synthetics: drum no more than half full;
Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more than one third full.

Removing stains
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and detergent. It is therefore
advisable to treat them prior to washing.
Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried stains, soak overnight in
water with a special detergent then rub in the soap and water.
Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain remover, lay the garment on a soft
cloth and dab the stain; treat several times.
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay the garment on a soft
surface and dab the stain with the fingertips and a cotton cloth.
Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust removing product used cold. Be
careful with rust stains which are not recent since the cellulose structure will
already have been damaged and the fabric tends to hole.
Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whites and fast coloureds only).
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and fast coloureds only).
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone (*), lay the garment on a soft
cloth and dab the stain.

Preparing the wash cycle 27
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat stains with methylated
spirits. Treat any residual marks with bleach.
Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and treat with acetic or citric acid,
then rinse. Treat any residual marks with bleach.
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric first with acetone (*), then
with acetic acid; treat any residual marks on white fabrics with bleach and then
rinse thoroughly.
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated spirits or benzine, then rub
with detergent paste.
(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk.
Detergents and additives
Good washing results also depend on the choice of detergent and use of the
correct quantities to avoid waste and protect the environment.
Although biodegradable, detergents contain substances which, in large
quantities, can upset the delicate balance of nature.
The choice of detergent will depend on the type of fabric (delicates, woollens,
cottons, etc.), the colour, washing temperature and degree of soiling.
All commonly available washer-dryer detergents may be used in this appliance:
• powder detergents for all types of fabric,
• powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C max) and woollens,
• liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature wash programmes (60°C
max) for all types of fabric, or special for woollens only.
The detergent and any additives must be placed in the appropriate
compartments of the dispenser drawer before starting the wash programme.
If using concentrated powder or liquid detergents, a programme without
prewash must be selected.
The washer-dryer incorporates a recirculation system which allows an optimal
use of the concentrated detergent.
Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer compartment marked
before starting the programme.
just
Any fabric softener or starching additives must be poured into the compartment
marked before starting the wash programme.
Follow the product manufacturers’ recommendations on quantities to use and do
not exceed the «MAX» mark in the detergent dispenser drawer.
Quantity of detergent to be used
The type and quantity of detergent will depend on the type of fabric, load size,
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
28 iPreparing the drying cycle
degree of soiling and hardness of the water used.
Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on quantities to use.
Use less detergent if:
• you are washing a small load,
• the laundry is lightly soiled,
• large amounts of foam form during washing. For the stain treatment before
the washing cycl, follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on
detergent quantities. If you use any specific product to remove the stains, you
must start the cycle of washing immediately .
Degrees of water hardness
Water hardness is classified in so-called “degrees” of hardness. Information on
hardness of the water in your area can be obtained from the relevant water
supply company, or from your local authority.

Note: A water softener must be added when water has a medium-high degree
of hardness (from degree of hardness II). Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
The quantity of detergent can then always be adjusted to degree of hardness I (=
soft).
Preparing the drying cycle
As a dryer, the machine works on the condensation principle.
Therefore, the water tap must be open and the drain hose must drain
water into a sink or into the drain pipe, even during the drying cycle.
Attention!
Before starting the drying programme, reduce the loads of washed laundry, in
order to obtain good performances.
Laundry not suitable for drying
• Particularly delicate items such as synthetic curtains, woollen and silk, garments
with metal inserts, nylon stockings, bulky garments such as anoraks, bedcovers,
quilts, sleeping bags and duvets must not be machine dried.

29
• Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy items such as towels as these
can attract the fluff.
• Remove the laundry when the appliance has finished drying.
• To avoid a static charge when drying is completed, use either a fabric softener
when you are washing the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for tum-
ble dryers.
• Garments padded with foam-rubber or materials similar to foam-rubber must
not be machine dried; they represent a fire hazard.
• Also, fabrics containing residues of setting lotions or hair sprays, nail solvents or
similar solutions must not be machine dried in order to avoid the formation of
harmful vapours.
Gargment’s labels
For drying, follow the indications given on the manufacturer’s labels:
May be tumble dried
Drying at high temperature
Drying at reduced temperature
Do not tumble dry.
Drying cycle duration
The drying time may vary depending on:
• speed of the final spin
• dryness degree required (extra dry, iron dry, store dry)
• type of laundry
• wheight of the load size
The average drying time for a timed drying are indicated in the «Drying program-
mes» chapter. The experience will help you to dry your laundry in a more suitable
way, according to the different fabrics. Take note of the duration drying time of the
already performed cycles.
Additional drying
If the laundry is till dump at the end of the drying programme, select again a short
drying.
Attention! Do not over dry the laundry in order to avoid creasing of
fabrics or garment’s shrinking .

30 Care and cleaning
Care and cleaning
You must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can
carry out any cleaning or maintenance work.
Descaling
The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good idea to periodically use a
water softening powder in the machine. Do this separately from any laundry
washing, and according to the softening powder manufacturer's instructions.
This will help to prevent the formation of lime deposits.
After each wash
Leave the door open for a while. This helps to prevent mould and stagnant smells
forming inside the appliance. Keeping the door open after a wash will also help
to preserve the door seal.
Maintenance wash
With the use of low temperature washes it is possible to get a build up of
residues inside the drum.
We recommend that a maintenance wash be performed on a regular basis.
To run a maintenance wash:
• The drum should be empty of laundry.
• Select the hottest cotton wash programme.
• Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a powder with biological
properties.
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and water only, and then
dry thoroughly.
Important! Do not use methylated spirits, solvents or similar products to clean
the cabinet.
Detergent dispenser drawer
The detergent dispenser drawer should be
cleaned regularly.
1. Remove the detergent dispenser drawer
by pulling it firmly.

5. Clean all parts of the washing ma-
chine, especially the nozzles in the top
of the washing-in chamber, with a
brush.
6. Insert the detergent dispenser drawer in the guide rails and push it in.
Washing drum
Rust deposits in the drum may occur due to rusting foreign bodies in the
washing or tap water containing iron.
Important! Do not clean the drum with acidic descaling agents, scouring agents
containing chlorine or iron or steel wool.
1. Remove any rust deposits on the drum with a cleaning agent for stainless
steel.
2. Run a washing cycle without any washing to clean off any cleaning agent
residues. Programme: COTTONS/LINEN 90° or 95°C, press button 8, add
approx. 1/4 measuring cup of detergent.
Door seal
Check from time to time the door seal and eliminate
eventual possible objects that could be trapped in the
fold.
Drain pump
The pump should be inspected regularly and particularly if
• the machine does not empty and/or spin
• the machine makes an unusual noise during draining due to objects such as
safety pins, coins etc. blocking the pump.
Proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the appliance.
2. If necessary wait until the water has cooled down.
3. Open the pump door.

can be hot water in the pump. Never remove the pump cover during a wash
cycle, always wait until the appliance has finished the cycle, and is empty. When
replacing the cover, ensure it is securely retightened so as to stop leaks and
young children being able to remove it.
Water inlet filter
If you notice that the machine is taking longer to
fill, check that the filter in the water inlet hose is
not blocked.
1. Turn off the water tap.
2. Unscrew the hose from the tap.
3. Clean the filter in the hose with a stiff brush.
4. Screw the hose back onto the tap.

34 Care and cleaning
Frost precautions
If the machine is installed in a place where the temperature could drop below
0°C, proceed as follows:
1. Close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet hose from the tap.
2. Place the end of the emergency emptying hose and that of the inlet hose in a
bowl placed on the floor and let water drain out.
3. Screw the water inlet hose back on and reposition the emergency emptying
hose after having put the cap on again.
By doing this, any water remaining in the machine is removed, avoiding ice
forming and consequently damage to the appliance.
When you use the machine again, make sure that the ambient temperature is
above 0°C.
Important! Every time you drain the water through the emergency emptying
hose you must pour 2 litres of water into the main wash compartment of the
detergent drawer and then run the drain programme. This will activate the ECO
VALVE device avoiding that part of the detergent remains unused at next
washing.
Emergency emptying out

Positioning and levelling
Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
Make sure that air circulation around the machine is
not impeded by carpets, rugs etc.
Before placing it on small tiles, apply a rubber
coating.
Never try to correct any unevenness in the floor by
putting pieces of wood, cardboard or similar
materials under the machine.
HEC007S
If it is impossible to avoid positioning the machine next to a gas cooker or coal-
burning stove, an insulating panel covered with aluminium foil on the side facing
the cooker or stove, must be inserted between the two appliances.
The machine must not be installed in rooms where the temperature can drop
below 0.
The water inlet hose and the drain hose must not be kinked.
Please ensure that when the appliance is installed, it is easily accessible for the
engineer in the event of a breakdown.
Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in or out. Never place cardboard,
wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness
in the floor.
Water inlet
An inlet hose is supplied and can be found inside the machine drum.
Do not use the hose from your previous machine to connect to the
water supply.
This appliance must be connected to a cold water supply.
1. Open the porthole and extract the inlet hose.
2. Connect the hose with the angled connection to the machine.
Do not place the inlet hose downwards. Angle the hose to the left or

3. Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring
nut.
After positioning the inlet hose, be sure to
tighten the ring nut again to prevent leaks.
4. Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4”
thread. Always use the hose supplied with
the appliance.
Installation should comply with local water
authority and building regulations requirements. A minimum water pressure of
0.05 MPa is required for safe operation of the appliance.
If you cannot make the cold water connection direct from the rising mains, you
may be able to operate the appliance from your cold water storage system. There
should be a minimum distance of between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom of
the water storage tank.
The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too short and you do not wish to
move the tap, you will have to purchase a new, longer hose specially designed for
this type of use.
Water drainage
This appliance is designed to be permanently plumbed into your home's drainage
system using one of the following methods.
1. Into a drainage standpipe.
Firstly form a hook in the end of the drain hose using
the “U” piece” supplied.
“U” piece
supplied
Place the drain hose into your
standpipe, which should have an
internal diameter of approximately
38 mm (1.5”)
standpipe

The drain hose may be extended to a
maximum of 4 metres. An additional
drain hose and joining piece is available
from your local Service Force Centre.
The joining piece must have an internal
diameter of 18 mm.
If your drain hose looks like this (see the relevant
pcture) you do not require the “U” piece”. Just push
the hose firmly into the standpipe.
2. Onto a sink outlet spigot.
If the outlet spigot has not been used before, remove
any blanking plug that may be in place.
Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with a
clip if required, ensure a loop is formed in the drain
hose (see diagram) to prevent waste from the sink
entering the washing machine.
The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4
metres. An additional drain hose and joining piece is available from your local
Service Force Centre. The joining piece must have an internal diameter of 18 mm.
If you intend the drain hose from the machine to
empty into a sink, make sure that the sink is empty and
the plug hole is not blocked. Use the plastic “U -Piece”
supplied.

Ecological hints
To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that
you follow these tips:
• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order to save
detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).
• The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded.
• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the
laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.
• Measure out detergent according to the water hardness, the degree of soiling
and the quantity of laundry being washed.
