INSTALLING THE WASHING MACHINE
CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY
The mains water pressure m ust be between 0.05 and 1.00 Mpa (0.5 - 10 bar.)
Before connecting the washing machine, open the valve and allow a certain
quantity of water to fl ow out in order to clean the pipes of any sand or rust.
This operation is particularly important in the case where the washing machine
has been left standing for a long time or when connecting to a new water supply system.
The fi ll hose must be connected to the mains supply using a ¾” threaded con-
7
nection.
N.B. On electronic washing machines f tted with a dual solenoid valve (hot and cold water), connect the red hose to the hot water supply valve and the other hose to the cold water supply valve.
If a hot water supply is not available, both hoses must be connected to the cold supply using the f tting supplied (see f g. 8)
8
Connect the fi ll hose (fi g. 9).
9
N.B. Washing mac hines and condensation type washer/drier s must be connected to the mains water supply using the new hoses provided with the appliance. The old hoses must not be re-used.
7
10
11
During the wash, the water supply valve must be fully open.
The drain hose must be positioned at a height of between 60 cm and 90 cm
(fi g. 10).
If the water is drained directly into the drainage system, the free end of the drain
hose must be inserted in a pipe of internal diameter not les than 40 mm.
The drain hose connection to the drainage system must not be hermetically
sealed, as this would cause a build up of air in the siphon and allow water to leak out.
If the wash water is drained into a washbasin, sink or other similar system, the
free end of the hose must be reinforced at the bend using the bracket supplied with the washing machine. Place the hose over the edge of the washbasin and anchor the bracket in such as manner that prevents the hose from falling (fi g. 11). The washbasin outlet must be clean and must allow the water to fl ow freely.

USING THE WASHING MACHINE
RECOMMENDATIONS PRIOR TO USE
Warning: Bef ore carr ying out the f rst wash, allo w the washing machine to effect a short wash cycle without any washing.
This will allow the operation of the washing machine to be checked
and will clean the drum.
Before each wash make sure that:
the water connections are correct, the drain hose is properly positioned (see
connecting to the water supply) and that the water supply valve is open.
with dry hands, insert the plug in the mains socket.
sort the wash into types of fabric (refer to clothing care symbols).
check that there are no objects left in any of the pockets of the items to wash,
as these may damage the washing, the appliance or the fi lter.

Use a low-suds detergent and softener (if required) recommended for automatic washing machines. Follow the dosage instructions written on the packet.
N.B. Too much detergent can produce excessive suds and ma y result in a poor wash.
Too little detergent will produce an unsatisfactory wash.
N.B. When adding detergent to the dispenser, remember to avoid any spillage into the softener compar tment, in that this w ould create a soap y rinse and stain the fabrics white . Vice ver sa, if softener is ad ded to the deter gent compartment, the quality of
the wash will be compromised.
N.B. When using a liquid deter gent (recommended f or pr o­grammes without pre-wash) proceed as follows: remove the baff e from its housing at the front of compartment 2 and insert it in the
guides near the centre of the same compartment.

USING THE WASHING MACHINE
HOW TO REMOVE SOME STAINS
Stains exist that cannot be removed by machine washing alone. Before trying to remove any type of stain by hand, fi rst try the removal procedure on a small area of hidden fabric. Start from the edge of the stain and working inwards, this will prevent a dark ring from forming around the site of the stain. A few methods to adopt for removing stains are reported below.
W
AX: Scrape the wax using a rounded point
in order not to damage the fabric. Then, with
the fabric placed between two pieces of ab-
sorbent paper, run a hot iron over the stain.
ALL POINT PENS AND FELT-TIP PENS: clean using
B
a soft cloth soaked in ethyl alcohol. Take care
not to spread the stain.
AMP AND MOULD: if the fabric supports the
D
use of bleach, carry out a wash cycle adding
bleach. Otherwise, soak the soiled part in
hydrogen peroxide (10 volumes) and leave
for 10 to 15 minutes.
IGHT SCORCH MARKS LEFT BY IRONING: follow the
L
instructions for mould and damp.
UST: use products specially designed for rust
R
stains, following the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions written on the packet.
HEWING GUM: rub ice over the fabric, scrape
C
away as much chewing gum as possible
and then rub with a piece of cotton soaked
in acetone.
PAINT: do not allow the paint to dry. Rub the
area with the solvent recommended by the paint manufacturer (e.g. water, turps, trichlo­roethylene), soap and then rinse.
IPSTICK: stains on cotton or wool can be elimi-
L
nated using a cloth soaked in ether. Stains on silk require the use of trichloroethylene.
AIL VARN ISH: place a sheet of absorbent
N
paper on the stained material, then dampen the back of the fabric with acetone, frequently changing the absorbent paper placed over the stain. Continue in this manner until the stain has disappeared.
AR OR DIRT: spread a little fresh butter over
T
the stain, allow to stand and then wash with oil of turpentine.
RASS: delicately soap the stain, use diluted
G
bleach. Good results can be obtained on woollen fabrics using 90% alcohol.
LOOD: put into soak in cold water with added
B
salt, then wash with washing soap.
INTERNATIONAL CLOTHING CARE SYMBOLS
Before placing the clothes in the washing machine and selecting the wash programme, examine the symbols on the manufacturer’s label. The table reported below will provide a useful guide to reading the symbols.

USING THE WASHING MACHINE
“EASY LOGIC” TECHNOLOGY
The electronic washing machine is f tted with an “EASY LOGIC” system that automaticall y recognises the quantity of washing loaded. The machine can thus regulate the amount of water to use for the wash and pr oportion the wash time accor dingly, thus sa ving water, time and energy. In the case where the amount of washing is less than the maxim um recommended load (see technical characteristics table), the quantity of water used f or the wash will be re­duced by 2 litres for each kg less of washing. In the case of a half-load or less, the machine will automatically carry out one rinse less than programmed. N.B. The “EASY LOGIC” function is only active for cotton programmes.
WASH CYCLE:
(follow these instructions and the washing machine will run the selected wash cycle)
1. Open the door.
2. Load the washing in the drum and close the door.
Warning: Do not o verload the mac hine. It is not ad visable to wash items that absorb lar ge
quantities of water such as carpets.
3. Add a low-suds detergent and softener designed for automatic washing machines in the respective compartments of the detergent drawer (see chapter “USE OF DETERGENTS”).
4. Close the detergent drawer. Do not open the drawer while the machine is working as this may
cause water to spill out.
5. Rotate the programmer knob (P) to select the required programme and temperature according to the type of fabric to wash (see: “PROGRAMME TABLES”).
6. Select the (C) buttons with the functions required (see “OPTIONAL FUNCTIONS”).
7. Press button (L) to start the wash cycle (see “START BUTTON”)
8. At the end of the wash cycle, turn the program selector knob (P) on “STOP” and the light (B) will
switch off.
9. Open the door and remove the washing.
10. With dry hands, unplug the washing machine from the mains supply.
11. Close the water feed valve.

This washing mac hine is equipped with a special electr onic contr ol system f or correctl y balancing the wash load. Prior to eac h spin, the system ensures that the washing is e venly distributed in the drum. If the washing is not evenly distributed, the f nal spin speed is reduced, and if the load is very unbalanced, the spin is not effected.
After having carried out all the operations described in points 1 to 6 in the paragraph “WASHING CYCLE” press this button and the washing machine will begin its washing cycle. The relative LED will light up after 2-3 seconds, to indicate that the door is locked and the program has started.
The stop function resets the washing machine. If, for any reason, you want to change the wash programme or add more washing to the load during the wash cycle, simply place the programmer knob in position “STOP”. Then re-position the knob on the new programme and press the “START” button. At this point, before the programme restarts, any water in the machine will be drained.
Warning!! only use this function if strictly necessary and then only if the programme to reset has been running f or a few minutes. Before open­ing the door after a reset, wait 2 min utes for the loc king mechanism to release.
