Even small loads are washed "economically" because the amount of water used is regulated automatically according to the load and type of fabric. G G G Automatic cooling of the wash water to 60°C before draining, with the 90°C programme. This reduces thermal shock to fabrics, helping to prevent creasing. The special wool programme with its new delicate wash system treats your woollens with extreme care. The anti-unbalance device ensures that the washing machine remains stable when spinning. In the interest of the environment G G G Ecological hints To save water and energy and help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these hints: G Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!). G The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded. G With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature. G Measure out detergent according to the water hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of laundry being washed. G Materials marked with the symbol are recyclable. Check with your local Council or Environmental Health Office to see if there are facilities in your area for re-cycling this appliance. When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the power supply cable and make the door lock device unusable to prevent young children from being trapped inside. Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance. How do we help to protect the environment? We use recycled paper! Important Your machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the machine is stable during the spin. If the wash load appears not to have been spun sufficiently at the end of the wash cycle, because it is not evenly distributed in the drum, the balance control device may have operated. It will therefore be necessary to redistribute the wash load manually and select a spin programme.

It is possible to change any phase before the programme carries it out. Changing the type of fabric or temperature is possible, obviously, only during the washing phase. When you make a change in these two parameters, the washing machine will resume the cycle from the beginning. If it is necessary to drain the water in order to change the programme in progress, proceed as follows: · PAUSE the machine by pressing the START/PAUSE button; · press the SKIP/RESET button repeatedly, until only the DRAIN light remains lit; · press the START/PAUSE button again. When the water has been drained, the display shows a blinking zero. You may now select a new programme and press the START/PAUSE button to start it.

When you close the door and press the ON/OFF button again, the washing machine will resume the programme from the point where it had been interrupted. 15. End of programme At the end of the programme, the washing machine stops automatically, gives an audible signal, and displays a blinking zero. If you had selected the RINSE HOLD option, the START/PAUSE button light flashes to indicate that the water must be drained. The display shows a steadily lit zero. When the programme has been completed, a blinking zero appears on the display and the audible signal is given. The DOOR LOCKED light goes out at once. Press the SKIP/RESET button repeatedly to erase the programme that has just been carried out. If you omit to do this, the next time you switch the washing machine on, the blinking zero will appear on the display and you will hear the audible signal. Note: when you switch the machine on, if you must erase the previously performed programme, it is also sufficient to press the FABRIC button and select a new programme. Press the ON/OFF button to switch the machine off. The relevant light will go out. Remove the laundry from the washing machine. Check whether the drum is completely empty, by rotating it with your hand. The purpose of this is to prevent any items of laundry from remaining accidentally in the drum, where they might get damaged in a subsequent wash (e.g. by shrinking) or bleed colour into another load of laundry. We advise you to close the water supply tap and disconnect the plug from the socket. Leave the door ajar in order to air the washing machine. 13. How to cancel a programme during its cycle To cancel a programme that is being carried out, first pause the washing machine by pressing the START/PAUSE button, then press the SKIP/RESET button repeatedly, until the display shows three blinking dashes. 14. How to open the door during the cycle of a programme You can open the door, after having set the washing machine to PAUSE, provided the following conditions exist: · the washing machine is not in the heating phase beyond 40°C; · the level of the water is not high; · the drum is not turning. If these requirements are met, when you pause the washing machine, the DOOR LOCKED light goes out and the door can be opened. Should it not be possible to open the door, and should it be absolutely necessary to do so, switch the machine off by pressing the ON/OFF button. 12 Washing Hints Do NOT overload the machine. Weigh the laundry the first few times you use the appliance. The average weights of the most common items are listed below as a guide: 1000g = 1 kg Sheet Pillow case Tablecloth Serviette Tea towel Linen hand towel Towelling hand towel Towelling bath towel Bath robe Man's shirt Apron 700-1000 g 100-200 g 400-500 g 50-100 g 70-120 g 100-150 g 150-250 g 700-1000 g 1000-1500 g 200-300 g 150-200 g G G G G G Bleach is very corrosive; it should be used with care and kept out of reach of children. Some stains such as fruit, wine, grass, rust etc. are difficult to remove and should be treated before washing with specific products, which can be found in most household shops. In some cases it may help to soak the stain before washing with a special presoak product or biological detergent. Only wool marked "Pure New Wool - washable, preshrunk" can be washed in the machine using the wool programme; other types of wool should be washed by hand or dry cleaned. If you have used the machine to wash, rinse or spin only non-colour fast garments, there may be dye left in the sump. To ensure any subsequent wash is not contaminated with the dye, select and carry out a rinse and spin programme, without any garments, to ensure that any dye is removed from the sump. Once you have finished using the machine, you are advised to unplug it and turn off the water tap. «JETSYSTEM» wash G G G G G G G G G G G G G Load the laundry loosely alternating large items with small ones. Sort the laundry according to the type of fabric, colour-fastness and how dirty it is. Avoid washing unhemmed or torn items as they may unravel. Before washing, empty all pockets of small objects which may have been left inside (coins, keys, screws etc). as these could damage the drain pump. When washing curtains, remove the hooks. Close poppers and zips and fasten loose buttons. It is essential to wash new coloured items separately when washing for the first time. When washing fabrics requiring different wash temperatures together, always select the lowest temperature. White items should not be washed with coloured items. Very small items (handkerchiefs, ribbons, socks etc) should be washed in a washing bag or a pillow case. Use a good quality detergent suitable for automatic washing machines. Use the correct quantities of detergent. For wool, use gentle detergent only in small quantities. 13 As the Jetsystem is flexible and adjusts water intake according to wash load size it is not possible to give you exact recommandations as to the amount of detergent that should be used for any one wash. Therefore we recommend that you use approximately 1/3 less than the detergent manufacturer recommends on the packet or bottle, making the appropriate allowances for soft or hard water, and light or heavy soilage of clothes. If you have judged the amount correctly you should expect to see a soft sudsy liquid during the wash. It is not necessary to have a head of lather on the water. Which detergent?.... To ensure you obtain the best wash results from your appliance, it is important to use the right detergent in your everyday wash, and only detergents recommended for use in automatic machines. To maintain the appearance of your clothes and household textiles and to make them last longer you should use different types of detergent for different washes, whether for whites, colours or delicates. And in which form? Not only are there different types of detergent, but they are also available in different forms. Whether you chose a powder or liquid in traditional or compact form is your own personal choice. TRADITIONAL POWDERS Pour the powder directly into the dispenser drawer. Do not sprinkle powder onto clothes in the machine drum. WHITES We recommend the Ariel product range which is biological and designed to provide excellent cleaning and stain removal even at low temperatures. TRADITIONAL LIQUIDS Liquid can be placed in the main wash compartment of the detergent drawer marked with the symbol , start the machine immediately upon placing the detergent in the dispenser drawer. Alternatively the detergent is measured into the specially designed dosing device* which should be placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the machine drum. NON BIOLOGICAL If you prefer to use a non biological detergent, which does not contain enzymes we recommend Fairy. Fairy provides good cleaning and stain removal. COMPACT POWDERS AND LIQUIDS Compact detergents (or concentrates as they are also known) are available in liquid or powder form, and generally require a smaller dosage. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to ensure the most economical usage. Pour the detergent directly into the dispenser drawer, or alternatively measure the detergent into the specially designed dosing device* which should be placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the machine drum. * If you use a dosing device in a washer dryer, please ensure the dosing device/ball is removed before carrying out a drying programme. COLOUREDS For coloured items you should use a detergent which is designed to clean while maintaining the original colour. Ariel Color does not contain bleach and therefore helps to preserve colours. DELICATE ITEMS When washing delicates such as woollens, you should use a product which is specially designed to care for fine fabrics. Dreft Automatic is suitable for woollens and other delicates. FABRIC CONDITIONERS These are ideal for improving `softness', and also reduce static cling on synthetics and make ironing easier. They are available in two types: For example Lenor liquid fabric softener, for use in the washing machine/washer dryer. The liquid fabric softener should be poured into the compartment marked with the symbol . Follow the manufacturer's dosage instructions and never exceed the MAX level. Bounce conditioning sheets for use in a tumble dryer. We recommend the conditioning sheets are pinned (using a safety pin) to an article of laundry and placed in the tumble dryer. 14 LAUNDRY BLEACH For additional stain removal you may wish to use a product such as Ace Gentle Bleach which is used in addition to your chosen detergent. Ace is suitable for all washable fabrics including silks, woollens and coloureds. Wash Care Symbols Wash care labels inside garments recommend how to launder your clothes with the best results. The care labelling code is in line with care labelling used in the rest of Europe. The symbols used make it easy to select the correct programme on your washing machine.

When using liquid detergent and a prewash programme, place the detergent into the correct compartment in the dispenser drawer, after the prewash has finished. 15 Important Notes For best results, always use the dispenser drawer for dispensing detergents and liquid additives. Once the dispenser has been filled, close it by pushing it in gently. This is particularly important if you are using Washing programmes Type of laundry and symbols on labels 60 95 Load Programme/ temperature Cottons 60°-90°C Description of programme Main wash at 60°-90°C 3 rinses Long spin Consumption* Available options Energy kWh 1.8 Water litres 45 (52 for IZ10 and 12) Time h/min. 2.29 5 kg White cotton: e.g. sheets, tablecloths, household linen 60 40 30 SPIN SPEED RINSE HOLD PREWASH SUPER RINSE QUICK SPIN SPEED RINSE HOLD PREWASH SUPER RINSE QUICK 5 kg Coloured cotton: e.g. shirts, blouses, underwear, towels, household linen 60 50 40 Main wash at Cottons 60°-40°-30°C 60°-40°-30°C 3 rinses Long spin 0.95 42 (49 for IZ10 and IZ12) 2.10 30 2.5 kg Synthetic fabrics and blends: e.g. shirts, blouses, underwear 40 Synthetics 60°-50°-40°30°C Main wash at 60°-50°-40°30°C 3 rinses Short spin Main wash at 40°-30°C 3 rinses Short spin SPIN SPEED RINSE HOLD PREWASH SUPER RINSE QUICK SPIN SPEED (only IZ10 and 12) RINSE HOLD PREWASH SUPER RINSE QUICK 0.9 56 1.27 30 2.5 kg Delicate fabrics: e.g. acrylic fabrics, viscose, polyester, synthetic blends 40 30 Delicates 40°-30°C 0.7 53 1.04 2 kg Wool Wool 40°-30°C Main wash at 40°-30°C 3 rinses Short spin Main wash at 40°-30°C 3 rinses Short spin SPIN SPEED RINSE HOLD 0.3 48 57 2 kg Hand wash 40°-30°C SPIN SPEED RINSE HOLD 0.25 46 55 The "coloured cotton programme" at 60°C is the reference programme for the data entered in the energy label, in compliance with EEC 92/75 standards. * This data is given purely as an indication: the consumption values may vary in relation to the quantity and type of laundry, the temperature of the water supply and the ambient temperature. The data refers to the highest temperature provided for each programme. The machine is capable of washing up to 6 kg, however, to achieve optimum wash results it is recommended that the above wash loads are adhered to. 16 Maintenance and Cleaning Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply. Descaling The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good idea to periodically use a water softening powder in the machine. Do this separately from any laundry washing, and according to the softening powder manufacturer's instructions. This will help to prevent the formation of lime deposits. C0066 C0067 After each wash Leave the door open for a while. This helps to prevent mould and stagnant smells forming inside the appliance. Keeping the door open after a wash will also help to preserve the door seal. C0068 P1086 Cleaning the drawer recess Having removed the drawer, use a small brush to clean the recess, ensuring that all washing powder residue is removed from the upper and lower part of the recess. Replace the drawer and run the rinse programme without any clothes in the drum. Maintenance Wash With the use of low temperature washes it is possible to get a build up of residues inside the drum. We recommend that a maintenance wash be performed on a regular basis. To run a maintenance wash: G The drum should be empty of laundry. G Select the hottest cotton wash programme. G Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a powder (such as Ariel Futur). External cleaning Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and water only, and then dry thoroughly. P0038 Cleaning the filter The water drain filter A clean filter is important for the correct operating of the machine, and should therefore be cleaned after every washing programme. Open the filter door by pulling it towards the right. Place a container under the filter to catch any spillage. Release the emergency emptying hose, place it in the container, and remove its cap by unscrewing it. Cleaning the dispenser drawer The washing powder and additive dispenser drawer should be cleaned regularly. Remove the drawer by pressing the catch downwards and by pulling it out. Flush it out under a tap, to remove any traces of accumulated powder. To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive compartment should be removed. 1 2 P1062 P1077 17 When no more water comes out, unscrew the filter and remove it. The dangers of freezing If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C, certain precautions should be taken. G Turn off the water tap. G Unscrew the inlet hose. G Place the end of the inlet hose and that of the emergency emptying hose in a bowl placed on the floor and let the water drain out. G Screw the water inlet hose back on and put the emergency emptying hose back in its place after having screwed the cap on again. When you intend to start the machine up again, make sure that the room temperature is above 0°C. P1060 P1061 Clean the filter under a running tap, then refit it, screwing it fully in. Emergency emptying out P0040 Put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose, place the latter back in its seat. Close the filter door. Warning When the appliance is in use and depending on the programme selected there can be hot water in the filter. Never remove the filter during a wash cycle, always wait until the appliance has finished the cycle, and is empty. When replacing the filter, ensure it is securely retightened so as to stop leaks and young children being able to remove it. If the machine is unable to drain, proceed as follows to empty out the machine: G Pull out the plug from the power socket. G Close the water tap. G If necessary, wait until the water has cooled down. G Place a bowl on the floor under the filter and place the end of the emergency emptying hose into the bowl. The water should drain by gravity into the bowl. When the bowl is full, screw the cap on again. Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water stops flowing out. G Clean the filter if necessary. G At the end screw the filter again. The water inlet filter If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged. It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time. Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the water inlet hose. Clean the filter using a hard bristle brush. Tighten up the inlet hose. P1090 18 Something Not Working Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out an engineer. Before contacting your local Service Force Centre, please carry out the checks listed below. IMPORTANT: if you call out an engineer to a fault listed below, or to repair a fault caused by incorrect use or installation, a charge will be made even if the appliance is under guarantee. During machine operation it is possible that one of the following alarm codes appears on the display: - E10 : problem with the water supply - E20 : problem with water draining - E40 : door open Once the problem has been eliminated, press the START/PAUSE button to restart the programme. If after all checks, the problem persists, contact your local Service Force Centre. Symptom The machine does not start Possible causes G G G G G G The door has not been closed. (E40) The plug is not properly inserted in the power socket. There is no supply at the socket. The main fuse or the fuse in the plug has blown. The START/PAUSE button has not been depressed. The DELAY START option has been selected. The water tap is closed. (E10) The filter in the inlet hose is blocked. (E10) The inlet hose may be squashed or kinked. (E10) The door has not been closed. (E40) The end of the drain hose is too low. The end of the drain hose is submerged in water. There is no vent in the end of the drain hose. The drain hose may be squashed or kinked. (E20) The RINSE HOLD option has been selected. The drain filter may be blocked. (E20) The drain hose extension, if fitted, is not correct. Follow the instructions for connecting to the waste. The drainage system pipes are blocked. The wash load is unbalanced: redistribute the clothes inside the drum to allow the machine to spin. Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used (creates too much foam). Check whether there are any leaks from the inlet hose fittings. It is not always easy to see this as the water runs down the hose; check to see if it is damp. The drain hose may be damaged or not securely positioned. The detergent dispenser drawer or recess is clogged. The drainage system pipes are blocked. Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used. An insufficient amount of detergent leaves the laundry looking grey and causes lime scale to form. Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing The correct wash programme/temperature has not been selected. Too much laundry has been placed in the drum. 19 The machine does not fill G G G G The machine fills then empties immediately The machine does not empty and/or does not spin G G G G G G G G G There is water on the floor G G G G G Unsatisfactory washing results G G G G Symptom
