Your Washing machine features three different speeds
during the wash cycb, During the Cotton cycle the drum
spins at 1,200 or 800 rpm depending on how you set it,
During Permanent Press the drum spins at 850 rpm, During
delicates, the drum spins at 500 rpm, The faster spinning

fluffs out clothes immediately after the wash cycle, This
helps speed drying time and reduce wrinkles.

Use Low sudsing Detergent. This is recommended for all
front loading washers, it ensures there is no over sudsing,
which may reduce the performance and damages to your
machine.
When sorting Jaundry always take into consideration the
quantity and type of fabric contained in the load, Highly
absorbent fabrics such as those used in towels or jeans
will absorb more water and become very heavy when
saturated, If you notice that your clothes are taking longer
than usual to dry you may be overloading the machine, or
washing too many highly absorbent articles for a single load,

PREPARATmON

Sorting
Clothes should be sorted from separate items which could
damage other garments, Sort items into loads according to
similar colors, fabrics, garment construction and degrees of
soil,
- Color. Separate clothes into three groups: whites and pastels,
medium and bright colors and dark colors, Items which bleed
color should be washed alone,
- Type of fabrics. Delicate items should be separated from
sturdier items, Fabrics that shed lint should be separated from
those which shed none or attract lint,
- Garment constructions.
Garments that may fray easily or
that have unusual trim require gentle care, These garments
may be washed in the loader using the knit cycle, if garments
are fragile and delicate, hand washing may be desirable,
- Degree of soit. Heavily soiled items should be separated
from the rest of the wash to prevent transfer of soil in the wash
water,

hspection

- Pretreat heavily soibd areas such as collars, cuffs and
centers of pillowcases, Refer to the "Pretreating" section for
specific instructions,
- Mend rips and tears, before washing, so further damage is
- Empty pockets. Objects left in pockets such as crayon,
pens or markers, or tobacco crumbs may stain an entire wash
load, Paper tissues will shred leaving bits on each item in the
washer, Remove coins and other foreign objects to prevent
damage to the machine.
- Fasten aH hooks, zippers and buttons.
- Turn knit garments inside out to reduce the tendency of
knits to "pill', Fabric "pills" are balls of fibers on the surface the
garments caused by wear or friction,
- Remove Joose dirt and sand. Brush dirt from trouser cuffs;
shake or vacuum rugs to remove loose surface soil,
- If bucMe is washable, place a scrap of material securely
around the ornament before washing and drying to prevent
scratching and damage to the machine, Remove non-washable
trims, buckles, buttons and belts,
- Tie strings, belts and apron sashes into bows to avoid
tangling during washing.

While sorting clothes into wash-loads, also inspect each
garment to see if it requires special care,
- Remove stains, while they are fresh and easy to get out, Try
cold water first to remove unknown stains, Hot water sets stains
containing protein such as blood, egg, meat and milk. To remove
difficult stains, refer to the removal Chart at the end of the
manual,

Pretreating
Pretreat heavily soiled areas such as collars, cuffs and center
of pillowcases by using a prewash spray, or brushing liquid
detergent or a laundry detergent or a laundry detergent and

Prewashing
P rewash excessively soiled clothes, such as work or children's
clothes. Prewashing with detergent will help loosen the soil.

For quantities of detergent to be used, refer to the detergent
manufacturer's instructions on the box.
Detergent will be flushed automatically into the machine from
the detergent dispenser_ The suds level should never rise more
than halfway up the porthole. Too much foam will not impede
the wash action of your machine but will rise through the
detergent dispenser and make a mess on the floor !

Laundry aids
Detergents are the most popular cleaning agents for home
laundry.
Using too little detergent results in poor wash quality, while
using too much causes excessive suds and poor rinsing.
Detergents not only remove soil, but abe hold it in suspension
in the wash water to prevent redepositing it on the wash load.
The amount to use depends on wash load size, amount of soil,
water hardness and detergent type.
ALWAYS measure the amount of detergent. The amount
of suds formed is not necessarily an indication of how much to
use. Some detergents form a great amount of suds, others
only a few. Use only detergents suitable for front loading
washers.

It's important for a good wash
The

first

is the

easiest:

You must follow the quantity

water hardness and how soiled
the clothes are.

it out.

Never use hand wash detergent, because it may form too
much foam, which could damage the washing machine.
Detergents that are specifically
formulated for both hand and
machine wash are an exception.

One
last
secret:
when
washing
with cold water,
always reduce the amount of
detergent you use: it dissolves
less easily in cold water than
in hot water, so part of it would
be wasted.

Special containers

Easy Care and Maintenance

machine
Your

washing

machine

is a reliable

Your washing
machine
is
designed to provide reliable
service over many years. A few
simple steps will help to extend
its life and avoid problems. It is
advisable
to turn off water
faucets when the machine is
not in use. This protects the
hoses, etc.
tf the water in your area is
bard, use a water softener
(hard water often leaves white
stains around taps or drains,
especially
in bath tubs. For
more accurate
information
about the type of water in the
system, call your local water
utility).
Pockets
must Mways
be
emptied,
removing
pins,
badges, coins, or any other
hard obiects.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
The washing machine exterior
should be cleaned with a rag
dipped in lukewarm water and
soap. Do not use polish of any
kind on the plastic trim. Some
polishes contain agents which
can damage plastics.
Cleaning the interior
If you live an area where
phosphate
detergents
are

companion

in life. It is just

banned, it may be necessary
to recondition
the washer
periodically+ Because a nonphosphate detergent must be
used, body oils and detergent
may accumulate in the washer
tub. This is particularly evident
in hard water areas or in
homes where heavily soiled
garments
are
regularly
laundered.
To remove this
buiW+up,
run the washer
through
a complete
cycle
using hot water and 2 cups of
water softener. Do not add any
clothes, detergent,
or other
laundry aids.
Once the accumulation
has
been removed, your laundry
should be satisfactory if you
follow
the
preventive
suggestions
in this owner's
manual.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
After washing is complete the
water faucets should be turned
off to relieve water pressure on
the hoses.
Wipe the inside of the door with
a soft cloth to remove any
remaining
moisture.
Periodically, a thin coat of paste wax should be applied to
the inner door of the washer;

Detergents already contain
deliming agents. Only if the
water is particularly hard, that
is, rich in lime content, do we
recommend
the use of a
specific
product
at every
wash.
A periodical wash cycle with
a dose of a deliming product,
without

Never

in
your
washing machine.

Do not forget to empty all
pockets:
smafl objects
can cause
serious damage to your
washing machine /

When in need, check the pump and the rubber hose.
The wasbing machine comes equipped with a seff+cmeaning pump that does not require any cleaning or maintenance.
Small objects may accidentally
fall into the pump: coins, hair clips, loose buttons, etc.To avoid possiMe damage, they
are witbbe_d in an accessiNe coin trap, located at the bottom right end of the machine.

Fig° 1

Attention:
Before attempting to examine this coin trap, first ensure
that the machine has finished its program and is empty. Unplug the
machine, as with any maintenance.
To gain access, gently ease down the top of the kick plate panel at the
base of the machine with a screwdriver etc, to release it. Then ease
the top edge forward to al!ow it to be lifted clear (Fig. 1). Place a
shallow dish or tray below the cover of the pre-chamber to catch any
water that might be present. Open the cover by turning it counterclockwise (Fig. 2). When finished cleaning, ensure that the cover is
securely tightened.
Re-fit the kick plate cover by inserting the hooks on its lower edge
into the slots and ease the top edge back into position.

The water inlet hose
Check the rubber hoses at least once a year. If you see any cracks, replace the hose immediately. When you use your washinc
machine, water pressure is very strong and a cracked tube could easily split open. Superior quality Stainless Steel hoses are
recommended.

para la instalaciOn

y el uso

El aparato debe estar conectado a tierra. En caso de mal funcionamiento o averfa, la instalacion de puesta a tierra reduce el
peligro de sacudidas electricas ofreciendo a la corriente electrica un circuito con menor resistencia. El aparato esta dotado de
un cable que incluye un conductor y un enchufe para la conexi6n a tierra. El enchufe se debe conectar a un tomacorriente
adecuado, instalado correctamente y conectado a tierra en conformidad con los codigos y con las normas locales.
ATENClON - Una incorrecta conexion a tierra del cable del aparato comporta un riesgo de sacudida electrica. En caso de dudas, Ilame a un tecnico especializado o al servicio de asistencia
para que efectue un control de la conexion a tierra del aparato.
No adultere el enchufe suministrado con el aparato. En el caso
de incompatibilidad entre el tomacorriente y el enchufe, haga instalar un tomacorriente adecuado por un tecnico especializado.

Evite introducir en la misma carga prendas que podrian
perjudicar el resultado del lavado, Seleccione las prendas en

estructura de las prendas y grado de suciedad,
- CoJor. Separar las prendas entres grupos: blanco y colores
claros, colores normales o fuertes, colores oscuros, Las
prendas que destiSen deben lavarse solas,
- Tipos de tejidos. Los tejidos delicados van separados de
aquellos m_,s resistentes, Separe adem6,s las prendas que
tienden a producir pelusas de aquellas que no las producen o
las atraen,
- Estructura de Jas prendas. Las prendas que se desNachan
con facilidad o que presentan decoraciones particulares
necesitan de un cuidado escrupuloso, Estas prendas pueden
ser lavadas en el aparato seleccionando un ciclo para tejidos
de punto, Para las prendas fr_,giles o delicadas se aconseja
lavar a mano,
- G rado de suciedad, Las prendas muy sucias deben separarse

Los productos

para lavar

Los detergentes son bs productos m_s comunes para eUUavado domestbo,
Un uso insuficbnte de detergente no permite obtener un Uavado 6ptimo, mientras que un uso excesivo causa Ua
sobreabundancia de espuma e impide eUcorrecto enjuague,
Adema.s de remover la suciedad, los detergentes impiden que
se vuelva a depositar en el lavado, manteni6ndola en suspensi6n en el agua de lavado, La dosis a utilizar depende de las
dimensiones de la carga de prendas, del grado de suciedad,
de la dureza del agua y del tipo de producto,
Dosificar SIEMPRE [a cantidad de detergente. La cantidad de espuma formada no corresponde necesariamente con
la dosis a utilizar, Algunos detergentes forman ma.s cantidad
de espuma que otros, Utilice 0nicamente detergentes adecuados para lavar en lavadora con carga frontal,

Para las dosis de detergente a utilizar, consulte las instruccio=
nes del fabricante en el paquete.
El detergente sera. introducido de manera automa.tica en el
aparato desde la cubeta dosificadora. El nivel de espuma no
debe superar nunca la linea media de la abertura de carga.
Una excesiva formaci6n de espuma no obstaculiza la acci6n
de lavado de la m_.quina,pero sube pot la cubeta del detergente y ise vuelca en el piso!

Blanqueador
El blanqueado tiene la funci6n de blanquear, quitar las manchas persistentes, eliminar los malos olores y hasta desinfec=
tar los tejidos, pero nunca se debe considerar como una alternativa a una correcta operaci6n de lavado, No agregue nunca
blanqueador al agua de enjuague, Diluir siempre la lavandina
antes de usar,
Para agregar la lavandina, abrir la cubeta para el detergente e
colocar el producto en el compartimiento 4 (vet pagina 12 y
11=10),

LOS PRODUCTOS
1. Utilizar solamente detergentes que formen poca espuma,
2. La cantidad de detergente depende del grado de suciedad,
Para cargas muy sucias, aumentar la cantidad de detergente
a utilizar,
3. Utilizar m_.ssuavizante en presencia de agua especiaimen=
te dura y menos suavizante si el agua de la instalaci6n es
m6,sdulce (menos de 0,068 gramos pot litro).
4. Si las prendas fueron tratadas previamente, reduzca la cantidad de detergente o si han sido pre-tratadas con abundante

Suavizante
Todos los tejidos yen especial las toallas, se benefician con
el uso de suavizantes en el 01timo enjuague, Las prendas se
vuelven mas suaves y faciles de planchar, mientras que los
tejidos sinteticos pierden gran parte de su efecto adherente,
Colocar el suavizante en el compartimiento "Aditivos" de la
cubeta para detergente hasta el nivel indicado en el sif6n. Evitar
el llenado excesivo del compartimiento ya que el suavizante
se puede volcar dentro de la maquina perjudicando la calidad
del lavado,
