Anleitung Zusammenfassung
A full load instead of two half loads allows you to save up to 50% on energy. • The pre-wash cycle is only necessary on extremely soiled garments. Avoiding it will save on detergent, time, water and between 5 and 15% energy. • Treating stains with a stain remover or leaving them to soak before washing will cut down the need to wash them at high temperatures. A programme at 60°C instead of 90°C or one at 40°C instead of 60°C will save up to 50% on energy. • Use the correct quantity of detergent depending on the water hardness, how soiled the garments are and the amount of laundry you have, to avoid wastage and to protect the environment: despite being biodegradable, detergents do contain ingredients that alter the natural balance of the environment. In addition, avoid using fabric softener as much as possible. • If you use your washing machine from late in the afternoon until the early hours of the morning, you will help reduce the electricity board's peak load. The Delay Timer option (see page 7) helps to organise your wash cycles accordingly. • If your laundry has to be dried in a tumble dryer, select a high spin speed. Having the least water possible in your laundry will save you time and energy in the drying process. 9 Care and maintenance Cutting off the water or electricity supply • Turn off the water tap after every wash. This will limit the wear of your appliance's water system and also prevent leaks. • Unplug your appliance when cleaning it and during all maintenance operations. Cleaning your appliance The exterior and rubber parts of your appliance can be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives. Cleaning the detergent dispenser Remove the dispenser by raising it and pulling it out (see figure). Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently. 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 pre-chamber that protects the pump, situated in the lower part of the same. ! Make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug the appliance. To recover any objects that have fallen into the prechamber: 1. remove the plinth at the bottom on the front side of the washing machine by pulling from the side with your hands (see figure); 2. unscrew the lid rotating it anticlockwise (see figure): a little water may trickle out. This is perfectly normal; 3. clean the interior 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 water inlet hose at least once a year. If you see any cracks, replace it immediately: during the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose could easily split open. ! Never use hoses that have already been used. Disassembly: Press lightly on the large button on the front of the detergent dispenser and pull it upwards (fig. 1). How to clean the detergent dispenser Cleaning: Then clean the dispenser under a tap (fig. 3) using an old toothbrush and, once the pair of siphons inserted in the top of compartments 1 and 2 (fig. 4) have been pulled out, check whether the same are not clogged and then rinse them. Fig. 2 Reassembly: Do not forget to reinsert the pair of siphons into the special housings and then to replace the dispenser into its seat, clicking it into place (fig. 4, 2 and 1). 10 Troubleshooting 0 inDesiT Your washing machine could fail to work.
