Instructions for use

WASHING MACHINE

English,1

Espańol,13

Italiano,25

Levelling the machine correctly will provide it with stability,

help to avoid vibrations and excessive noise and prevent it

from shifting while it is operating. If it is placed on carpet or

a rug, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow a sufficient

ventilation space underneath the washing machine.

Connecting the electricity and water

supplies

Connecting the water inlet hose

1. Connect the supply pipe

by screwing it to a cold

water tap using a ¾ gas

threaded connection (see

figure).

Before performing the con-

nection, allow the water to

run freely until it is perfectly

clear.

2. Connect the inlet hose

to the washing machine by

screwing it onto the corre-

sponding water inlet of the

appliance, which is situa-

ted on the top right-hand

side of the rear part of the

appliance (see figure).

3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over or bent.

! The water pressure at the tap must fall within the values

indicated in the Technical details table (see next page).

! If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialised

shop or an authorised technician.

! Never use second-hand hoses.

! Use the ones supplied with the machine.

! This instruction manual should be kept in a safe place for

future reference. If the washing machine is sold, transferred

or moved, make sure that the instruction manual remains

with the machine so that the new owner is able to familiari-

se himself/herself with its operation and features.

! Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital infor-

mation relating to the safe installation and operation of the

appliance.

Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking

1. Remove the washing machine from its packaging.

2. Make sure that the washing machine has not been

damaged during the transportation process. If it has been

damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any

further with the installation process.

3. Remove the 3 protective

screws (used during tran-

sportation) and the rubber

washer with the correspon-

ding spacer, located on the

rear part of the appliance

(see figure).

4. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs provided.

5. Keep all the parts in a safe place: you will need them

again if the washing machine needs to be moved to ano-

ther location.

! Packaging materials should not be used as toys for

children.

Levelling

1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor, without

resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or anything

else.

2. If the floor is not perfectly

level, compensate for any

unevenness by tightening

or loosening the adjusta-

ble front feet (see figure);

the angle of inclination,

measured in relation to the

worktop, must not exceed

2°.

Installation

65 - 100 cm

Connecting the drain hose

Connect the drain hose,

without bending it, to a drai-

nage duct or a wall drain

located at a height between

65 and 100 cm from the

floor;

alternatively, rest it on

the side of a washbasin

or bathtub, fastening the

duct supplied to the tap

(see figure). The free end

of the hose should not be

underwater.

! We advise against the use of hose extensions; if it is

absolutely necessary, the extension must have the same

diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 150 cm

in length.

Electrical connections

Before plugging the appliance into the electricity socket,

make sure that:

• the socket is earthed and complies with all applicable

laws;

• the socket is able to withstand the maximum power load

of the appliance as indicated in the Technical data table

(see opposite);

• the power supply voltage falls within the values indicated

in the Technical data table (see opposite);

• the socket is compatible with the plug of the washing

machine. If this is not the case, replace the socket or the

plug.

! The washing machine must not be installed outdoors,

even in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave

the appliance exposed to rain, storms and other weather

conditions.

! When the washing machine has been installed, the elec-

tricity socket must be within easy reach.

! Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.

! The cable should not be bent or compressed.

! The power supply cable must only be replaced by autho-

rised technicians.

Warning! The company shall not be held responsible in the

event that these regulations are not respected.

Table of wash cycles

Cotton Standard 20° (wash cycle 7) ideal for heavily soiled cotton loads. The effective performance levels achieved at cold

temperatures, which are comparable to washing at 40°, are guaranteed by a mechanical action which operates at varying

speed, with repeated and frequent peaks.

Express (wash cycle 11) 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 (11 at 30°C), it is possible to wash different fabrics together

(except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 1,5 kg.

Sport Intensive (

wash cycle

12) is for washing heavily soiled sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best

results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the “Table of wash cycles”.

Sport Light (

wash cycle

13) is for washing lightly soiled sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best results,

we recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the “Table of wash cycles”. We recommend using a liquid

detergent and dosage suitable for a half-load.

Special Shoes (

wash cycle

14) is for washing sports shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs simultaneously.

1) Test wash cycle in compliance with directive 1061/2010: set wash cycle with a temperature of 60°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. The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated value.

2) Test wash cycle in compliance with directive 1061/2010: set wash cycle with a temperature of 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 40°C. The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated value.

For all Test Institutes:

2) Long wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle with a temperature of 40°C.

3) Long wash cycle for synthetics: set wash cycle 6; with a temperature of 40°C.

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 accor-

ding 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.

Silk drain only

The spin speed may be lowered, or the spin cycle can be excluded altogether by selecting the symbol .

The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a spin speed which is higher than the maximum speed

set for each wash cycle.

Functions

The various wash functions available with this washing machine will help to achieve the desired results, every time.

To activate the functions:

1. Press the button corresponding to the desired function;

2. the function is enabled when the corresponding indicator light is illuminated.

Note: If the indicator light flashes rapidly, this signals that this particular function may not be selected in conjunction with the

selected wash cycle.

Selecting this option enables you to suitably adjust drum rotation, temperature and water to a reduced load of lightly soiled

cotton and synthetic fabrics (refer to the “

“Table of wash cycles”

). “ ” enables you to wash in less time thereby saving

water and electricity. We suggest using a liquid detergent suitably measured out to the load quantity.

! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, , .

Stain removal

Bleaching cycle designed to remove the toughest stains. Please remember to pour the bleach into extra compartment 4 (see

“Bleach cycle”).

! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 1, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, .

Extra rinse

By selecting this option, the efficiency of the rinse is increased and optimal detergent removal is guaranteed. It is particularly

useful for sensitive skin.

! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 11, .

Delay timer

This timer delays the start time of the wash cycle by up to 12 hours.

Press the button repeatedly until the indicator light corresponding to the desired delay time switches on. The fifth time the button

is pressed, the function will be disabled.

N.B. Once the START/PAUSE button has been pressed, the delay time can only be modified by decreasing it until launching

the set programme.

! This option is enabled with all programmes.

Personalisation

Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser drawer

Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of

detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessa-

rily result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause

build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to

environmental pollution.

! Do not use hand washing detergents because these

create too much foam.

! Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for pre-

washing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C.

! Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging.

Open the detergent di-

spenser drawer and pour

in the detergent or washing

additive, as follows.

compartment 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder)

Before pouring in the detergent, make sure that extra com-

partment 4 has been removed.

compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle

(powder or liquid)

Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately

prior to the start of the wash cycle.

compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)

The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.

extra compartment 4: Bleach

Bleach cycle

! Traditional bleach should be used on sturdy white fabrics,

and delicate bleach for coloured fabrics, synthetics and for

wool.

This option is particularly

useful for the removal of

stubborn stains. Place extra

compartment 4 (supplied) into

compartment 1.

When pouring in the bleach,

be careful not to exceed the

“max” level marked on the

central pivot (see figure).

To run the bleach cycle on its

own, pour the bleach into extra

compartment 4, set the “Rinse” programme and activate the

“Stain removal” option.

To bleach during a wash cycle, pour in the detergent

and any fabric softener you wish to use, set the desired

wash cycle and enable the “Stain removal” option.

The use of extra compartment 4 excludes the “Pre-wash” option.

Preparing the laundry

• Divide the laundry according to:

- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label

- the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.

• Empty all garment pockets and check the buttons.

• Do not exceed the listed values, which refer to the weight

of the laundry when dry:

Durable fabrics: max. 7 kg

Synthetic fabrics: max. 2,5 kg

Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg

Wool: max. 1,5 kg

Silk: max. 1 kg

How much does your laundry weigh?

1 sheet 400-500 g

1 pillow case 150-200 g

1 tablecloth 400-500 g

1 bathrobe 900-1200 g

1 towel 150-250 g

Garments requiring special care

Wool: all wool garments can be washed using programme

8, even those carrying the “hand-wash only” label. For

best results, use special detergents and do not exceed 1,5

kg of laundry.

Silk: use special wash cycle 9 to wash all silk garments. We

recommend the use of special detergent which has been

designed to wash delicate clothes.

Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow case or

mesh bag. Use wash cycle 9.

Jeans: Turn garments inside-out before washing and use a

liquid detergent. Use programme 10.

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.

Precautions and tips

! This washing machine was designed and constructed in

accordance with international safety regulations. The fol-

lowing information is provided for safety reasons and must

therefore be read carefully.

General safety

• This appliance was designed for domestic use only.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (inclu-

ding children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental

capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless

they have been given supervision or instruction concer-

ning use of the appliance by a person responsible for

their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that

they do not play with the appliance.

• The washing machine must only be used by adults, in accor-

dance with the instructions provided in this manual.

• Do not touch the machine when barefoot or with wet or

damp hands or feet.

• Do not pull on the power supply cable when unplugging

the appliance from the electricity socket. Hold the plug

and pull.

• Do not open the detergent dispenser drawer while the

machine is in operation.

• Do not touch the drained water as it may reach extreme-

ly high temperatures.

• Never force the porthole door. This could damage the

safety lock mechanism designed to prevent accidental

opening.

• If the appliance breaks down, do not under any circum-

stances access the internal mechanisms in an attempt

to repair it yourself.

• Always keep children well away from the appliance while

it is operating.

• The door can become quite hot during the wash cycle.

• If the appliance has to be moved, work in a group of two

or three people and handle it with the utmost care. Never

try to do this alone, because the appliance is very heavy.

• Before loading laundry into the washing machine, make

sure the drum is empty.

Disposal

• Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local

regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.

• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical

and Electronic Equipment, requires that old household

electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the

normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old aplices

must be collected separately in order to optimise the

recovery and recycling of the materials they contain

and reduce the impact on human health and the

environment.

The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on

the product reminds you of your obligation, that when

you dispose of the appliance it must be separately

collected. Consumers should contact their local authority

or retailer for information concerning the correct

disposal of their old appliance.

Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water and electricity

supplies

• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle. This will

limit wear on the hydraulic system inside the washing

machine and help to prevent leaks.

• Unplug the washing machine when cleaning it and du-

ring all maintenance work.

Cleaning the washing machine

The outer parts and rubber components of the appliance

can be cleaned using a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm

soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer

Remove the dispenser by

raising it and pulling it out

(see figure).

Wash it under running wa-

ter; this operation should be

repeated frequently.

Caring for the door and drum of your

appliance

• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent

unpleasant odours from forming.

Cleaning the pump

The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning pump

which does not require any maintenance. Sometimes, small

items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into the pre-cham-

ber which protects the pump, situated in its bottom part.

! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug the

appliance.

To access the pre-chamber:

1. using a screwdriver,

remove the cover panel

on the lower front part of

the washing machine (see

figure);

2. unscrew the lid by rota-

ting it anti-clockwise (see

figure): a little water may

trickle out. This is perfectly

normal;

3. clean the inside thoroughly;

4. screw the lid back on;

5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely

in place before you push it onto the appliance.

Checking the water inlet hose

Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If there are any

cracks, it should be replaced immediately: during the wash

cycles, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose

could easily split open.

! Never use second-hand hoses.

Troubleshooting

Your washing machine could fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre (see “Assistance”), make sure

that the problem cannot be not solved easily using the following list.

Problem:

The washing machine does not

switch on.

The wash cycle does not start.

The washing machine does not

take in water (the indicator light for

the first wash cycle stage flashes

rapidly).

The washing machine continuously

takes in and drains water.

The washing machine does not

drain or spin.

The washing machine vibrates a lot

during the spin cycle.

The washing machine leaks.

The “Functions” indicator lights and

the “start/pause” indicator light flash,

while one of the “phase in progress”

indicator lights and the “door locked”

indicator light will remain lit in a fixed

manner.

There is too much foam.

Possible causes / Solutions:

• The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or is not making contact.

• There is no power in the house.

• The washing machine door is not closed properly.

• The ON/OFF button has not been pressed.

• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.

• The water tap has not been opened.

• A delayed start has been set (see “Personalisation”).

• The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap.

• The hose is bent.

• The water tap has not been opened.

• There is no water supply in the house.

• The pressure is too low.

• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.

• The drain hose is not fitted at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor

(see “Installation”).

• The free end of the hose is under water (see “Installation”).

• The wall drainage system is not fitted with a breather pipe.

If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water tap, switch

the appliance off and contact the Assistance Service. If the dwelling is on one of

the upper floors of a building, there may be problems relating to water drainage,

causing the washing machine to fill with water and drain continuously. Special

anti-draining valves are available in shops and help to avoid this inconvenience.

• The wash cycle does not include draining: some wash cycles require the drain

phase to be started manually.

• The drain hose is bent (see “Installation”).

• The drainage duct is clogged.

• The drum was not unlocked correctly during installation (see “Installation”).

• The washing machine is not level (see “Installation”).

• The washing machine is trapped between cabinets and walls (see “Installation”).

• The water inlet hose is not screwed on properly (see “Installation”).

• The detergent dispenser drawer is blocked (for cleaning instructions, see

“Care and maintenance”).

• The drain hose is not fixed properly (see “Installation”).

• Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1 minute and

then switch it back on again.

If the problem persists, contact the Technical Assistance Service.

• The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should display the text

“for washing machines” or “hand and machine wash”, or the like).

• Too much detergent was used.

Service

Before calling for Assistance:

• Check whether you can solve the problem alone (see “Troubleshooting”);

• Restart the programme to check whether the problem has been solved;

• If this is not the case, contact an authorised Technical Assistance Centre using the telephone number provided on the

guarantee certificate.

! Always request the assistance of authorised technicians.

Have the following information to hand:

• the type of problem;

• the appliance model (Mod.);

• the serial number (S/N).

This information can be found on the data plate applied to the rear of the washing machine, and can also be found on the

front of the appliance by opening the door.

Manual de instrucciones

LAVADORA

! Es importante conservar este manual para poder consul-

tarlo en cualquier momento. En caso de venta, de cesión o

de traslado, verifique que permanezca junto con la lava-

dora para informar al nuevo propietario sobre el funciona-

miento y brindar las correspondientes advertencias.

! Lea atentamente las instrucciones: ellas contienen

importante información sobre la instalación, el uso y la

seguridad.

Desembalaje y nivelación

Desembalaje

1. Desembale la lavadora.

2. Controle que la lavadora no haya sufrido daños durante

el transporte. Si estuviera dañada no la conecte y llame al

revendedor.

3. Quite los 3 tornillos de

protección para el transpor-

te y la arandela de goma

con el correspondiente

distanciador ubicados en

la parte posterior (ver la

figura).

4. Cubra los orificios con los tapones de plástico sumini-

strados con el aparato.

5. Conserve todas las piezas: cuando la lavadora deba ser

transportada nuevamente, deberán volver a colocarse.

! Los embalajes no son juguetes para los niños.

Nivelación

1. Instale la lavadora sobre un piso plano y rígido, sin apo-

yarla en las paredes, muebles ni en ningún otro aparato.

2. Si el piso no está

perfectamente horizontal,

compense las irregula-

ridades desenroscando

o enroscando las patas

delanteras (ver la figura); el

ángulo de inclinación me-

dido sobre la superficie de

trabajo, no debe superar

los 2º.

Una cuidadosa nivelación brinda estabilidad a la máquina y

evita vibraciones, ruidos y desplazamientos durante el fun-

cionamiento. Cuando se instala sobre moquetas o alfom-

bras, regule los pies para conservar debajo de la lavadora

un espacio suficiente para la ventilación.

Conexiones hidráulicas y eléctricas

Conexión del tubo de alimentación de agua

1. Conectar el tubo de tubo

enroscándolo a un grifo de

agua fría con la boca rosca-

da de 3/4 gas (ver la figura).

Antes de conectarlo, haga

correr el agua hasta que

esté límpida.

2. Conecte el tubo de

alimentación a la lavadora

enroscándolo en la toma

de agua correspondiente

ubicada en la parte poste-

rior derecha (arriba) (ver la

figura).

3. Controle que en el tubo no hayan pliegues ni estrangu-

laciones.

! La presión de agua del grifo debe estar comprendida

dentro de los valores contenidos en la tabla de Datos

técnicos (ver la página correspondiente).

! Si la longitud del tubo de alimentación no es la suficiente,

diríjase a un negocio especializado o a un técnico autori-

zado.

Programas

Tabla de programas

Programa normal de algodón a 20 °C (programa 7) ideal para cargas de prendas de algodón sucias. Los buenos rendi-

mientos aún en frío, comparables con los de un lavado a 40º, están garantizados por una acción mecánica que trabaja con

variación de velocidad con picos repetidos y cercanos.

Express (programa 11) fue estudiado para lavar prendas ligeramente sucias y en poco tiempo: dura sólo 15 minutos y de

esa manera permite ahorrar energía y tiempo. Seleccionando el programa (11 a 30ºC) es posible lavar conjuntamente tejidos

de distinto tipo (excluidas lana y seda), con una carga máxima de 1,5 kg.

Sport Intensive (programa 12) ha sido estudiado para lavar tejidos usados en prendas deportivas (chándales, pantalones

cortos, etc.) muy sucios; para obtener los mejores resultados es aconsejable no superar la carga máxima indicada en la

“Tabla de programas”.

Sport Light (programa 13) ha sido estudiado para lavar tejidos usados en prendas deportivas (chándales, pantalones cortos,

etc.) poco sucios; para obtener los mejores resultados es aconsejable no superar la carga máxima indicada en la “Tabla de

programas”. Se recomienda utilizar detergente líquido y la dosis correspondiente a la media carga.

Special Shoes (programa 14) ha sido estudiado para lavar calzado deportivo; para obtener los mejores resultados no lave

más de 2 pares a la vez.

La duración del ciclo que se indica en el visor o en el manual es una estimación calculada en base a condiciones estándar. El tiempo efectivo puede

variar en función de numerosos factores como la temperatura y la presión del agua de entrada, la temperatura ambiente, la cantidad de detergente,

la cantidad y el tipo de carga, el equilibrado de la carga y las opciones adicionales seleccionadas.

1) Programa de control según la directiva 1061/2010: seleccione el programa con una temperatura de 60ºC.

Este ciclo es adecuado para limpiar una carga de algodón normalmente sucia, es el más eficiente en lo que se refiere al consumo combinado con la

energía y la cantidad de agua y se usa con prendas lavables a 60ºC. La temperatura efectiva de lavado puede diferir de la indicada.

2) Programa de control según la directiva 1061/2010: seleccione el programa con una temperatura de 40ºC.

Este ciclo es adecuado para limpiar una carga de algodón normalmente sucia, es el más eficiente en lo que se refiere al consumo combinado con la

energía y la cantidad de agua y se usa con prendas lavables a 40ºC. La temperatura efectiva de lavado puede diferir de la indicada.

Para todos los Test Institutes:

2) Programa algodón largo: seleccione el programa con una temperatura de 40ºC.

3) Programa sintético largo: seleccione el programa 6 con una temperatura de 40ºC.

Personalizaciones

Detergentes y ropa

Contenedor de detergentes

El buen resultado del lavado depende también de la cor-

recta dosificación del detergente: si se excede la cantidad,

no se lava de manera más eficaz, sino que se contribuye a

encostrar las partes internas de la lavadora y a contaminar

el medio ambiente.

! No use detergentes para el lavado a mano porque pro-

ducen demasiada espuma.

! Utilice detergentes en polvo para prendas de algodón

blancas, para el prelavado y para lavados con una tempe-

ratura mayor que 60ºC.

! Respete las indicaciones que se encuentran en el envase

de detergente.

Extraiga el contenedor de

detergentes e introduzca el

detergente o el aditivo de la

siguiente manera:

cubeta 1: Detergente para prelavado (en polvo)

Antes de verter el detergente, verifique que no esté colo-

cada la cubeta adicional 4.

cubeta 2: Detergente para lavado (en polvo o

líquido)

El detergente líquido se debe verter sólo antes de la pue-

sta en marcha.

cubeta 3: Aditivos (suavizante, etc.)

El suavizante no se debe volcar fuera de la rejilla.

cubeta adicional 4: Blanqueador

Ciclo de blanqueo

! El blanqueador tradicional debe utilizarse para los teji-

dos resistentes blancos, mientras que el delicado debe

utilizarse para la lana y los tejidos coloreados y sintéticos.

Introduzca la cubeta adicio-

nal 4 suministrada con el

aparato, en la cubeta 1.

Al verter el blanqueador

no debe superar el nivel

“máx.” indicado en el perno

central (véase la figura).

Para realizar sólo el blan-

queo, vierta el blanqueador

en la cubeta adicional 4,

seleccione el programa

“Aclarado” y active la función “Antimancha” .

Para blanquear durante el lavado, vierta el detergente y

los aditivos, seleccione el programa deseado y active la

función “Antimancha” .

El uso de la cubeta adicional 4 excluye el prelavado.

Preparar la ropa

• Subdivida la ropa según:

- el tipo de tejido / el símbolo en la etiqueta.

- los colores: separe las prendas de color y las blancas.

• Vacíe los bolsillos y controle los botones.

• No supere los valores indicados, referidos al peso de la

ropa seca:

Tejidos resistentes: max 7 kg.

Tejidos sintéticos: max 2,5 kg.

Tejidos delicados: max 2 kg.

Lana: max 1,5 kg.

Seda: max 1 kg.

¿Cuánto pesa la ropa?

1 sábana 400/500 g

1 funda 150/200 g

1 mantel 400/500 g

1 albornoz 900/1200 g

1 toalla 150/250 g

Prendas especiales

Lana: con el programa 8 es posible lavar en la lavadora

todas las prendas de lana, aún las que contienen la eti-

queta “sólo lavado a mano” Para obtener los mejores

resultados utilice un detergente específico y no supere

1,5 Kg. de ropa.

Seda: utilice el programa correspondiente 9 para lavar

todas las prendas de seda. Se aconseja el uso de un

detergente específico para prendas delicadas.

Cortinas: pliéguelas y colóquelas dentro de una funda o

de una bolsa de red. Utilice el programa 9.

Jeans: vuelva del revés las prendas antes del lavado y

utilice un detergente líquido. Utilice el programa 10.

Sistema de equilibrado de la carga

Antes de cada centrifugado, para evitar vibraciones exce-

sivas y para distribuir la carga de modo uniforme, el cesto

realiza rotaciones a una velocidad ligeramente superior a la

del lavado. Si después de varios intentos, la carga todavía

no está correctamente equilibrada, la máquina realiza el

centrifugado a una velocidad inferior a la prevista. Cuando

existe un excesivo desequilibrio, la lavadora realiza la

distribución antes que el centrifugado. Para obtener una

mejor distribución de la carga y su correcto equilibrado, se

aconseja mezclar prendas grandes y pequeñas.
