Need help?Do you have a question about the Fagor 3FS-86314IT and is the answer not in the manual?
This document serves as a Quick Start Guide for the 3FS-86314IT washing machine, providing essential information for its operation, usage, and basic maintenance. It is designed to complement a more detailed operating instructions manual.
The 3FS-86314IT is a versatile washing machine designed to handle a variety of laundry types and soil levels through its comprehensive range of programs. It offers functionalities for washing, rinsing, spinning, and drying, aiming to provide efficient and effective garment care. Users can select from a multitude of pre-set programs tailored for specific fabrics such as cotton, synthetics, wool, and delicates, as well as specialized cycles like Sport, Quick, Anti-Allergy, and Colours. The machine also includes a "My Cycle" feature, allowing users to save frequently used program settings for convenience.
Beyond basic washing, the appliance incorporates features to customize each cycle. Users can adjust the wash temperature, spin speed, and, for programs with drying capabilities, the drying level and time. A "Start Delay" function enables scheduling the wash cycle to begin at a later time, offering flexibility for users to manage their laundry according to their daily routines. The machine's control panel and display provide clear feedback on the selected program, remaining time, and any active additional functions.
Before initiating any wash cycle, proper preparation of the laundry and the machine is crucial. Users are instructed to empty pockets, close all zips and buttons on duvet covers, and place delicate or small items in a protective mesh laundry bag to prevent damage. The machine's door opens by gripping the door and handle from the inside, facilitating easy loading. Loading guidelines are provided for different fabric types: a full drum for cotton, up to 1½ of the drum for synthetics, and up to 1/3 of the drum for silk and wool, ensuring optimal wash performance and preventing overloading.
Detergent dispensing is straightforward, with a dedicated drawer featuring compartments for prewash detergent, main wash detergent, and fabric softener or other special care liquids. The guide indicates which compartments to use for each program. The program selection is made via a selector knob, and additional functions are chosen through dedicated buttons on the control panel. The "Start Delay" button, Temperature Selection button, Spin Speed button, and Dry Level button allow for fine-tuning the wash cycle. Once the desired settings are chosen, the START/PAUSE button initiates the cycle. The display shows the estimated time remaining, which can range from 0 to 24 hours for delayed starts.
The machine offers a wide array of programs, each with default temperature and spin speed settings, as well as recommended load sizes. For instance, "Cotton Eco" is designed for normally soiled cotton fabrics, emphasizing energy and water efficiency, with a default temperature of 30°C and a spin speed of 800 RPM. The "Sport" program is tailored for activewear, while "Quick" is suitable for lightly soiled, small amounts of laundry. "Delicate" and "Wool" programs ensure gentle care for sensitive fabrics, preventing shrinkage or damage. The "Anti-Allergy" program, with a higher temperature and spin speed, aims to enhance hygiene, particularly for baby clothes. The "Dry Only" function allows users to dry clothes independently, with drying time varying based on the load. The "Ready to wear" program is a quick wash and dry cycle for small synthetic loads, ideal for urgent needs.
For safety, the machine includes a child lock feature, activated by pressing buttons 8 and 9 simultaneously, to prevent accidental changes to settings during operation.
Basic maintenance is outlined to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of the washing machine. Users are advised to remove the safety packaging and ensure the machine is level before its first use. After each wash, it is important to dry the drum seal and leave the door ajar to prevent mold and unpleasant odors. The guide explicitly warns against cleaning the machine with harsh or abrasive detergents, which could damage surfaces.
Upon completion of a wash cycle, the display will flash "End." Users should then turn off the water valve, unplug the appliance from the mains, and open the door to remove the laundry. The pump filter cover (item 6 on the diagram) is also indicated, suggesting that periodic cleaning of the pump filter is a part of routine maintenance, although detailed instructions for this are likely found in the full operating manual. Adhering to these simple maintenance steps helps in preserving the machine's condition and ensuring consistent washing results.
