Special accessories
Rubber feet kit
Available from your authorized dealer.
The rubber feet are particularly recommended on float-
ing, slippery and wooden floors.
Mount the rubber feet to prevent vibration, noises and
displacement of the appliance during operation.
Read carefully the instructions supplied with the kit.
First use
• Ensure that the electrical and water connec-
tions comply with the installation instructions.
• Ensure that the drum is empty.
• Before the first wash, run a cotton cycle at the
highest temperature without any laundry in the
machine, to remove any manufacturing residue
from the drum and tub. Pour 1/2 a measure of
detergent into the main wash compartment and
start the machine.
Daily use
Sort 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, deli-
cates, woollens.
Before Loading The Laundry
Important! Make sure
that no metal objects are
left in the laundry (e.g.
hair clips, safety pins,
pins). Button up pillowca-
ses, close zip fasteners,
hooks and poppers. Tie
any belts or long tapes.
Remove any hooks (e.g
curtains).
• 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.
• Rub particularly soiled areas with a special detergent
or detergent paste.
• Treat curtains with special care.
• Wash the socks and the gloves inside the bag or a
net.
Remove stubborn stains before 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 fin-
gertips and a cotton cloth.
