WASHING MACHINE

Thank-you for choosing a Philco washing

machine. We are proud to always offer

new, innovative and technologically

advanced products, with a complete range

of home appliances to ensure true

assistance in your daily routine.

Carefully read this manual for correct and

safe appliance use and for helpful tips on

efficient maintenance.

Only use the washing machine

after carefully reading these instructions.

We recommend you always keep this

manual on hand and in good condition for

any future owners.

Please check that the appliance is

delivered with this instruction manual,

warranty certificate, service centre address

and energy efficiency label. Also check that

plugs, drain hose support hook and liquid

detergent or bleach tray (only on some

models) are included. We recommend you

keep all these components.

Each product is identified by a unique 16-

character code, also called the “serial

number”, printed on the sticker. This can

be found inside the door opening. This

code is a unique code for your product that

you will need to register the product

warranty, or if you need to contact the

Customer Service Centre.

This appliance is marked according to

the European directive 2012/19/EU

on Waste Electrical and Electronic

Equipment (WEEE).

WEEE contains both polluting substances (which

can cause negative consequences for the

environment) and basic components (which can

be re-used). It is important to have WEEE

subjected to specific treatments, in order to

remove and dispose properly all pollutants, and

recover and recycle all materials. Individuals can

play an important role in ensuring that WEEE

does not become an environmental issue; it is

essential to follow some basic rules:

!WEEE should not be treated as household

waste;

!WEEE should be handed over to the relevant

collection points managed by the municipality or

by registered companies. In many countries, for

large WEEE, home collection could be present.

In many countries, when you buy a new

appliance, the old one may be returned to the

retailer who has to collect it free of charge on a

one-to-one basis, as long as the equipment is of

equivalent type and has the same functions as

the supplied equipment.

!The washing machine should be

connected to the water mains via the

new tube supplied with the

appliance (inside the drum). Do not

use the old tube for this purpose.

!Connect one end of the water inlet

pipe with the elbow bend to the

electrovalve (top rear part of the

machine) and the other end to a tap

or a plumbed-in 3/4" gas threaded

connection.

Place the washing machine close to

the wall, ensuring that there are no

bends or kinks anywhere in the tube.

Hook the outlet pipe to the edge of

the sink or preferably to a fixed

drainage outlet of a diameter greater

than that of the outlet pipe and at a

height of min. 50 cm. and a

maximum of 85 cm. from the floor

(fig. 4).

!If necessary, use the curved

accessory to attach and support

the outlet pipe more securely.

the screw on the foot.

b) Raise or lower the foot by rotating

it until it stands firmly on the floor.

c) Lock the foot in position by turning

the nut anticlockwise until it comes

up against the bottom of the

washing machine.

!Check that the appliance is properly

levelled.

!Check that the washing machine

3. PRACTICAL TIPS

WARNING: when sorting laundry, make

sure:

- have eliminated metallic objects such as

hair clips, pins, coins, from laundry;

- to have buttoned pillow cases, closed

zips, tied loose belts and long robe

ribbons;

- to have removed rollers, hooks or clips

from curtains;

- to have carefully read clothing washing

labels;

- to have removed any persistent stains

using specific detergents.

!When washing rugs, bedcovers or other

heavy clothing, we recommend you avoid

the spinning cycle.

!To wash wool, make sure the item can be

machine washed. Check the fabric label.

A guide environmentally friendly and

economic use of your appliance.

Maximise The Load Size

!Achieve the best use of energy, water,

detergent and time by using the

recommended maximum load size.

Save up to 50% energy by washing a full

load instead of 2 half loads.

Do you need to pre-wash?

!For heavily soiled laundry only!

SAVE detergent, time, water and

between 5 to 15% energy consumption

by NOT selecting Prewash for slight to

normally soiled laundry.

Is a hot wash required?

!Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak

dried in stains in water before washing to

reduce the necessity of a hot wash

programme. Save energy by using a low

temperature wash programme.

Before using a drying programme

(WASHER-DRYERS)

!SAVE energy and time by selecting a

high spin speed to reduce the water

content in laundry before using a drying

programme.

Following is a quick guide with tips and

recommendations on detergent use at the

various temperatures. In any case, always

read the instructions on the detergent for

correct use and doses.

Load tips

Helpful suggestions for the user

When washing heavily soiled whites,

we recommend using cotton

programs of 60°C or above and a

normal washing powder (heavy duty)

that contains bleaching agents that at

medium/high temperatures provide

excellent results.

For washes between 40°C and 60°C

the type of detergent used needs to be

appropriate for the type of fabric and

level of soiling.

Normal powders are suitable for “white”

or colour fast fabrics with high soiling,

while liquid detergents or “colour

protecting” powders are suitable for

coloured fabrics with light levels of

soiling.

For washing at temperatures below

40°C we recommend the use of liquid

detergents or detergents specifically

labeled as suitable for low temperature

washing.

For washing wool or silk, only use

detergents specifically formulated for

these fabrics.

4. MAINTENANCE AND

CLEANING

To clean the washing machine exterior, use a

damp cloth, avoiding abrasives, alcohol and/or

solvents. The washing machine does not

require any special care for ordinary cleaning:

clean drawer compartments and the filter;

some tips on how to move the machine or on

long periods of disuse are provided below.

!The washing machine comes with a

special filter able to trap large residue,

such as buttons or coins, which could

clog the drain.

!Only available on certain models: pull out

the corrugated hose, remove the stopper

and drain the water into a container.

!Before unscrewing the filter, we

recommend you place an absorbent cloth

under it to keep the floor dry.

!Turn the filter counter-clockwise to the

limit stop in the vertical position.

!Remove and clean the filter; when

finished, replace it turning it clockwise.

!Repeat the previous steps in reverse

order to reassemble all parts.

!Should the washing machine be stored in

an unheated room for a long period of

time, drain all water from tubes.

!Unplug the washing machine.

!Detach the tube from the strap and lower

it, fully draining water into a bowl.

!Secure the drain tube with the strap when

finished.

!Press button (A).

!Hold down the button and turn the

!Remove the dispenser and clean it.

!It is recommended to remove any

remamining detergent in the

that are located in the back part of the

dispenser and clean them carefully.

!Remove any solid residue which could

block the holes in the compartments.
