Overview

This document describes a washing machine, outlining its functions, usage features, and maintenance procedures.

The washing machine is designed for household laundry, offering a variety of wash cycles and options to cater to different fabric types and soil levels. The control panel features a central selector knob for choosing wash cycles, along with buttons for specific functions like Rapid wash, Scroll Up/Down, On/Off, FreshCare+, Start/Pause, Confirm/Key Lock, Start Delay, Spin, Temperature, Cycle Option Menu/Settings Menu, and Steam Hygiene. A digital display provides visual feedback on the selected program, remaining time, and other relevant information.

Function Description

The washing machine offers a comprehensive range of wash cycles:

  • Mixed Extra Silence: This program operates silently throughout the entire cycle, including the spin phase. It's designed for half loads of mixed fibers (cotton & synthetics), with an adjusted spin speed for delicate cleaning. The FreshCare+ option automatically activates after the cycle for sustained freshness.
  • Mixed: Suitable for lightly to normally soiled resilient garments made of cotton, linen, synthetic, and mixed fibers.
  • Synthetics: Ideal for moderately soiled garments made of synthetic fibers (e.g., polyester, polyacrylic, viscose) or mixed synthetic-cotton blends.
  • Cotton: Designed for normally to heavily soiled and robust cotton items.
  • Delicates: For very delicate garments. It's recommended to turn garments inside out and use liquid detergent.
  • 20°C: For lightly soiled cotton garments at a 20°C temperature.
  • Wool: This program can be used for all wool garments, including those labeled "hand-wash only." Special detergents and adherence to the maximum load are recommended.
  • Spin & Drain: This cycle spins the load and then drains the water. It's for resilient garments. If the spin cycle is excluded, only draining occurs.
  • Rinse & Spin: This program rinses and then spins resilient garments.
  • Anti Allergy: Designed to remove major allergens like pollen, mites, and cat or dog hair through high-temperature technology and extra rinses. This cycle operates at 60°C for at least 30 minutes.
  • More Cycles: This category includes specialized programs:
    • Shirts: For shirts of various fabrics and colors, ensuring optimal care.
    • Jeans: Requires turning garments inside out and using liquid detergent.
    • Bed & Bath: For washing bed linen and towels together, optimizing softener use and saving time/electricity. Powder detergent is recommended.
    • Duvet: For eiderdown-padded items like duvets, cushions, and anoraks. Items should be folded inwards and not exceed 3/4 of the drum's volume. Liquid detergent is recommended.
    • Silk & Curtains: For all silk garments or curtains. Special detergent for delicate clothes is recommended. Curtains should be folded and placed in a pillowcase or mesh bag.
    • Baby: Removes soiling from baby items and detergent traces to prevent allergic reactions on delicate skin. It uses more water and optimizes disinfecting additives.
    • Cuddly Toys: Specific program for removing dust and washing cuddly toys.
    • Pets Stuff: Perfect for removing animal hair from pet bedding and items.
    • Multi Color: For multi-colored items, or various colors together. It maintains color care at 20°C, similar to 40°C performance. Detergent for colored clothes and low temperatures is suggested. Separate faded and new colored clothes.
    • Anti Stain: For heavily-soiled garments with resistant colors, offering a higher washing class. Do not mix different colored garments. Powder detergent and pre-treatment for obstinate stains are recommended.
  • Eco 40-60: The standard cotton program for normally soiled cotton garments washable at 40°C or 60°C. It is the most efficient in terms of water and energy consumption.
  • Full Load 45′: For a full load of moderately soiled cotton clothes in 45 minutes.
  • Rapid 30′: For quickly washing lightly soiled garments in 30 minutes, saving time and energy.
  • Steam Refresh 20′: Refreshes garments by removing odors and relaxing fibers. Insert dry, not dirty, items. Garments will be slightly damp at the end and can be worn after a few minutes. This program makes ironing easier. Do not add softeners or detergents. Not recommended for wool or silk garments.

Usage Features

The washing machine's interface is designed for ease of use. Upon first power-on, the user is prompted to select a language. The display shows the selected program, washing phases, and remaining time. It also indicates selected options, energy/water consumption, and the button lock symbol. Default temperature and spin speed values are displayed, with "--°" or "--" shown if not applicable. The "F" button accesses additional washing options, and holding it for 3 seconds enters the settings menu for language selection.

The machine incorporates a "6th Sense" sensor technology that adapts water, energy, and program duration to the specific wash load, optimizing resources. The "FreshCare+" option, when selected, keeps laundry fresh by gently tumbling it with steam after the cycle, preventing unpleasant odors and wrinkles. The "Steam Hygiene" option enhances washing performance by generating steam during the wash cycle, removing bacteria and relaxing fibers.

The "Start Delay" function allows users to set a delayed start for the selected cycle, with the corresponding duration displayed. The "Easy Iron" function modifies wash settings to reduce creasing. "Multi Rinse" increases the number of rinses for sensitive skin. "Cold Wash" allows washing at cold temperatures, saving energy. "PreWash" performs a pre-wash cycle. "Temperature" and "Spin" buttons allow adjustment of these settings.

The "Key Lock" function prevents accidental modifications to wash settings, especially useful with children around. The "START/PAUSE" button initiates or pauses a cycle. To stop a cycle, the "START/PAUSE" button is pressed and held until the machine stops. The "STOP&ADD" function allows adding items after a cycle has started, provided the water level is not too high.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is crucial for the washing machine's longevity and performance. Before any cleaning or maintenance, the machine must be switched off and unplugged from the mains power. Flammable liquids should not be used for cleaning.

  • General Cleaning: The outer parts and rubber components can be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Solvents or abrasives should be avoided.
  • Detergent Dispenser Drawer: This should be washed frequently under running water.
  • Door and Drum: Always leave the porthole door ajar after use to prevent unpleasant odors from forming.
  • Water Inlet Hose: Check the water inlet hose at least once a year for cracks or damage. A damaged hose must be replaced immediately to prevent leaks and potential bursting during high-pressure wash cycles. Only new hoses should be used.
  • Drain Pump Filter / Draining Residual Water: This is a critical maintenance task. Before cleaning, switch off and unplug the machine. If a hot wash program was used, wait for the water to cool down.
    1. Power off and unplug the machine.
    2. Gently press the top area of the filter cover to open.
    3. Place a container close to the pump to collect any spillage.
    4. Stretch the "emergency drain hose" to the container.
    5. Turn the stopper of the "emergency drain hose" and let the water flow into the container.
    6. Turn the exhaust filter handle and pull it out of its housing. When the container is full, plug the stopper back into the hose end and reinsert the small hose into the machine's base. Then empty the container. Firmly close the emergency drain hose with the stopper.
    7. Remove the main filter by laying a cotton cloth beneath it to absorb water, then turning it anticlockwise.
    8. Clean residues from the filter under running water.
    9. Reinsert the filter by turning it clockwise until it's fully in, with the handle in a vertical position. To test water tightness, pour about 1 liter of water into the detergent dispenser.

The document also provides troubleshooting tips for common issues like the machine not starting, not filling with water, continuous loading/unloading, not draining, excessive vibration, leaks, error codes, and too much foam. It advises checking basic connections and settings before contacting technical assistance. The "DEMO MODE" can be disabled by following a specific sequence of actions.
