safety instructions
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot-water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. Hydrogen gas is explosive. If the hot-water system has not been used for two weeks or more, turn on the hot-water faucets and let water flow for a few minutes before operating the washing machine. This will cause any built-up hydrogen gas to dissipate. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or keep an open flame on while the faucets are running.
Do not allow children to play over or inside the machine. Strict supervision is required when using the machine around children.
The door must be removed before the machine is disposed of or taken out of service.
Do not access the inside of the machine if the drum or the agitator are moving.
warnings
This washing machine comes with a manual, which includes installation, operation, and maintenance instructions. Please read all instructions carefully before using the washing machine.
Do not wash garments that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked or treated with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances. They could give off vapors that may ignite or explode.
Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or any other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water, since these give off vapors that may ignite or explode.
Do not attempt to repair the machine, replace any of its components, or service it in any way, unless it is recommended in the maintenance instructions included in the manual.
Do not climb over the machine or lean on
the open loading door.
Do not use an extension or adapter to connect the washing machine to the wall outlet.
The machine may only be used for its intended purposes.
Follow the washing instructions recommended by the garment manufacturer.
Before operating the machine, ensure that:

CONNECTING TO THE WATER AND DRAINAGE SYSTEM
The water inlet tube is located inside the drum:
a Connect the elbow end of the tube to
the threaded intake of the electro valve located at the back of the machine.
b Connect the other end of the tube to
the water intake. Once you have completed this operation, tighten the connecting bolt firmly.
installation and setup
The elbow part of the drain tube must be firmly connected to the outlet, so it does not fall off, in order to avoid the risk of flooding.
If your washing machine has an inlet for hot water, connect the red threaded tube to the hot water faucet, and to the electro valve with a red filter.
The washing machine must be connected to the water inlet system using the new inlet tubes provided with the machine. The previously used water inlet tubes must not be used.
For the washing machine to function properly, the water pressure should be
0.05-1MPa (0.5-10 kg/cm
2
/ 1.10-22.05
psi).
a It is recommended to have a fixed drain
outlet, 50-70cm/19.69-27.56in from the floor. The supplied elbow should be used to prevent the drain tube from being too tight, bent or pinched.

b Sort clothes by degree of soiling.
Use a short cycle time for slightly soiled garments.
Use a cycle time without pre-cleaning for medium soiled garments.
You may use a long cycle time with pre-cleaning for heavily soiled garments.
b Sort clothes by color.
Wash white clothes and colored clothes
separately.
Important!
Before washing your wool garments, confirm that they can be machine­washed.
Before loading clothes into the drum, make sure that all pockets are empty.

Important!
We recommend you load the machine to its maximum capacity. That way you will save water and energy.
Whenever possible, we recommend you wash different-sized garments on the same wash cycle, in order to maximize the washing action. This also helps to distribute the clothes inside the drum during the spin cycle, so the machine works more quietly.
It's useful to put smaller garments in a wash bag.

USING DETERGENT AND ADDITIVES
operating the machine and useful tips
environmental notice
Keep in mind that some concentrated detergents are friendlier to nature and the environment.
Using more detergent does not help improve wash results,
and, besides being more expensive, it adversely affects the environment.
Therefore, we recommend you follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions.
a Your washing machine’s detergent
dispenser has three compartments.
b If youre using liquid detergent, you
should close the door to the washing compartment. Using two fingers, pick the blue tab that protrudes from the bottom of that compartment and pull outwards completely. Release the flip top lid so it is in a horizontal position. This will prevent the liquid detergent from leaking out. To use powdered detergent, this lid should be open. Place it on a vertical position by pressing the top tab with one finger, and push it backwards completely.
c Before starting the wash cycle, pour
liquid or powdered detergent, or additive, in the detergent dispenser.
The level of liquid must never exceed the MAX reference mark stamped on the dispenser wall.
Remember that the amount of detergent to be used always depends on the following:
Amount of clothes to be washed. Degree of soiling.
Water hardness (you can obtain information on the degrees of water hardness through the corresponding local authorities).
We recommend you use a lime-treating product if water hardness in your area is high.

maintenance and cleaning
After each wash cycle, leave open the load door for a while, to let air circulate freely inside the machine.
It is a good practice to periodically run a full wash cycle using a lime-treating product, depending on the water hardness.
This helps to extend the life of your washing machine.
MAINTENANCE
Before performing any cleaning or maintenance operation, it’s advisable to disconnect the machine from the outlet.
A dirty or incorrectly inserted pump prevents additives from flowing and lets water remain inside the compartment at the end of the wash cycle.
