Getting to know your washing machine
Before doing anything else your should get to know your washing machine perfectly. To help you recognise all the different devices and elements which your machine is equip­ped with, we have included some dia­grams. These can be found at the back of the BOOKLET, inside the back cover. Please study them carefully. They will help you to understand the text and to visually locate all the elements which make up your machine.
Preliminary warnings
Installation
It is essential that the installation of your WASHING MACHINE be carried out in accordance with current standards.
Specific installation instructions can be found in the INSTALLATION MANUAL.
Before starting your washing machine, it is absolutely essential to remove the INTER­NAL FIXING SCREWS, used for transit. To do this, consult the installation manual.
Technical specifications table
Stuck of your WASHING MACHINE, you will find a TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS TABLE, which gives the technical and iden­tification information for your machine.
THIS LABEL SHOULD BE CONSULTED BEFORE MAKING ANY ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.
In order to preserve the environment, your washing machine is equipped with a sys­tem which is capable of adapting to diffe­rent conditions of use (amount of clothes and type of fabric), there by ensuring an optimum level of water and power with the same wash and rinse results. This means that during the washing process, the amount of water you observe through the hatch may seem low.
Moreover, for the same reason, some models have a patented system by means of which the drum turns faster than normal for a short amount of time (2 seconds) only in the wash programmes for normal fabrics (cotton, linen, ect.). This occurrs between six and eight times during the whole wash.

Stop/start button
Once you have selected the programme you require, press this button to start your washing machine (the button sticks out from the control panel). The “ON” light will come on after a few seconds, during which time the Door Safety device is activated.
If the programme is completed without interruptions, you can open the loading door once the programme is over and yo have waited for the Door Locking Safety device to the deactivated (about 2 minutes). The “ON” light will go off to indicate this.
When your washing machine is in operation, the wash cycle can be interrupted by pressing the Stop/Start button. The “ON” light will go off. Press the Stop/Start button again, to start your washing machine from the phase of the cycle where it left off. If you stop your machine from the phase of the cycle where it left off. If you stop your machine to add or remove garments,make sure that the water level not so high the it could overflow when the door is opened. Also make sure that the temperature inside the drum is not too high. Remember that even though the “ON” light goes off, you have to wait about two minutes until the door safety device is deactivated before you can open the door.
Additional functions buttons
By pressing these buttons, you can include a series of additional functions and features in the wash programme you have selected. These functions and features will enable you to adjust the wash to your particular needs and requirements.
These functions are activated when the button sticks our form the control panel, enabling you to see the symbol printed on it. Depending on the model, your washing machine will have some of the following functions.
No Sping button
Press this button to eliminate the Spin phase from any programme selected. This will help to avoid creasing when washing special fabrics.

Loading the machine
Opening the door
In order to open the door, pull outwards on the handle (Figure 1-3).
Loading the drum
When loading clothes into the drum, you should bear the following points in mind:
- Make sure all the pockets are empty.
- Stretch out and unfold each item.
- Put the items into the drum one by one,
so that they do not get tangled up toget­her.

ENGLISH
CI
- Take into account the recommended load size for each programme.
- When washing towels, try not to wash them on their own.Mix them in with other clothes.
Once you have loades the drum, close the door by pressing on it until it is properly closed. Make sure that no clothes get trap­ped between the door and the rubber seal.
Adding detergent and additives
Before starting the wash programme, add the detergent or additive to the detergent dispenser (Figure 3).
Depending on the model, the detergent dispenser in your washing machine has three our four compartments marked with the following symbols:
compartment:
For the PREWASH detergent.
compartment:
For the MAIN WASJ detergent.
compartment:
For additives like starch, fabric conditioner, etc., if required
compartment:
(Optional) For liquid whiteners:
bleach etc., if required.
Note: The level of liquids should never exceed the MAX LEVEL (Fig. 3).
Optional dispenser
You can also use liquid detergent in your
washing machine. To do this you need the optional dispenser which you can obtain through the FAGOR SERVICE NETWORK. This optional dispenser should be placed in the COMPARMENT of the deter­gent dispenser (Figure 3-A). Always use the amount recommended by the deter­gent manufacturer. However, the detergent should never go above the MAX level mar­ked on the side of the dispenser.
Detergent
Only use detergents suitable for automatic washing machines good quality detergents which do not produce too much lather. When washing woollen garments, only use neutral detergents.
Detergent guide
Remember that the amount of detergent to be used always depends on:
- The size of the load.
- The type of clothes to be washed.
- How dirty the clothes are.
- The hardness of the water.
Using more detergent than necessary will not improve the results of your wash. In addition to being a waste it will also have negative effects on the environment.
For wash programmes without a prewash, it is best to use detergents which can be put straight in the drum. In any case, we recom­mend that you follow the instructions of the manufacturer of the detergent used.
6
ENGLISH
The following table will help you to determine the amount of detergent to be used, depending on the hardness of the water and the size of the load.
LOAD SIZE IN KG
4,5 3,5 2 1 KG.
Water Hardness (French measures) AMOUNT OF DETERGENT IN GRAMMES Soft: (Up to 12) 90 80 65 55 Medium (12/25) 125 115 90 75 Hard (25/37) 160 140 110 90 Very hard (over 37) 180 160 130 110
Information about water hardness can be obtained from your local authority. If your water hardness is measured in German measures, divide the hardness values given above by 1.78.
Selecting the wash programme
You now have a MULTIPROGRAMME WAS­HING MACHINE which allows you to adapt your wash to all types of clothes. For this you have 3 types of PROGRAMMES:
1.- NORMAL PROGRAMMES, suitable for
washing resistant clothes.
2.- DELICATE PROGRAMMES suitable for
washing delicate fabrics.
3.- WOOL PROGRAMME
Moreover, both the Normal and Delicate programmes can operate with hot or cold water, if your washing machines respective water inlets are properly connected.
The wash systems installed in your was­hing machine are suitable for washing both cotton and synthetic garments, and wool, silk and acrylics.
Basically, the PROGRAMMES are differen­tiated by the drum rotation rate and by tem­perature, wash time and water level.
In general NORMAL cycles are suitable for washing resistant fabrics such as cotton, resistant synthetics, linen, etc., while the
DELICATE cycles, with a gentler drum rotation,and lower temperatures are desig­ned for washing synthetics, mixed cotton etc.; and lastly the WOOL cycle is recom­mended for that type of fabric.
The models which have a wash temperatu­re Selector also have Automatic Variable Load adjustment so that water and electri­city consumption is automatically adjusted to the quantity of clothes to be washed.
Programme Charts
On the next page you have a detailed PRO­GRAMMES CHART. Consult it to fina all the data relating to the different types of wash programmes which your washing machine offers.
Depending on your model, the same chart in shortened form is given on the front panel of the detergent tray or on an acces­sible card located inside the tray.
You will have one of the tables given bellow, depending on your washing machi­ne model. It will the with either 10 or 13 wash programmes.
