How to use your washing machine economically and ecologically.
Optimum load - Always try to use the washing machine at full load, as this will use less water, powder and energy thant two smaller loads.
You want to use the pre-wash? - Only the pre-wash for very dirty linen. If you don’t use the pre-wash, you save from 5% to 15% in energy, washing powder, and time.
Is a high temperature wash required? - To avoid high temperature washing, treat particularly dirty items with a stain remover of leava the most stains to soak beforehand. You will save energy in this way.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
This washing machine does not require any particular maintenance. At the end of each wash it is recommended to leave the door open so that air will circulate and dry the interior of the machine. The external part of the machine should never be cleaned with abrasive detergents since this would ruin the enamel coating as well as the synthetic parts.
Removing and cleaning filter
Place a rag under the washing machine to absorb any residual water. The filter is located under the base. Turn the filter handle counterclockwise and pull out the filter. Clean it under running water. Reinsert the filter and turn the handle clockwise until it is completely locked. WARNING: Water may leak from the filter if it is not properly tightened. Remember to clean the filter frequently to avoid excessive clogging.

POSITIONING
After your washing machine has been placed in the desired location, level it by means of the front left foot, them the
counternut must be blocked by means of the special key purposely provided. Warning: if the machine is not perfectly
leveled, it will be unstable, noisy and may lead to malfunctions and broken parts. Do not place the machine on mats or carpets.
WATER CONNECTION
Your machine is designed to be connected to both hot and cold water supplies. Cold water supplied direct from the water mains or from a storage tank in the loft of the house will normally be suitable. Most domestic hot water systems are suitable, i.e.:
1. Hot water storage tank heated by gas, solid fuel boiler or by electric immersion heater.
2. Multiple outlet gas instantaneous water heated with external fuel.
NOTE
Single outlet gas or electric water heaters are not suitable and must not be used. If you are in any doubt contact the water heater manufacturer or the Gas/Electricity Company. If your hot water supply is unsuitable then you may connect both fill hoses to the cold water supply. The machine will take longer to wash on certain programmes as the water has to be heated by the machine. Although it’s possible to effect temporary connections for both waste and water supply, we recommend that the washing machine is permanently plumbed in. To do so connect the two water outlet pipes with their 3/4” BSP female connectors to a suitably threaded tap. Ensure that there are no kinks in the pipe and try not to drop or mislay the black rubber washers.
DRAIN:
Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe (with a minimum internal diameter of 4 cm.) or hook it on a sink or bathtub, without crimping or creating any sharp curves. The hose should be positioned at a height ranging from a minimum of 70 cm. to a maximum of 100 cm. as shown in the figure.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Each pipe has to be fitted with a plain washer at both ends. We recommend that the water supply to your washing machine is switched off after each programme. Two water inlet supply hoses are packed within the appli­ance. Hot water supply - connection ends coloured red or hose marked 90/95°C MAX. These must be connected up as follows: Hot supply hose (red connection end) to the red threaded mount connection, marked red, on the rear of the machine.Cold supply hose (blue connection end) to the blue colour threaded mount connection, marked blue, on the rear of the machine.

CONTROLS PANEL
FUNCTIONS AND PREPARATION FOR WASHING
DRYING
The clothes are dried by a flow of warm air made to circulate inside the drum by a fan, which gradually removes the damp from the clothes. This damp then condenses inside the machine when it comes into contact with the cold water.
This is the reason why the water tap must remain on and the draining pipe must be positioned correctly during the drying cycle.
To obtain the best results, spin-dry the clothes before putting them in the machine. The smaller the amount of water in the clothes, the less time it will take to dry them and the lower the consumption of electricity will be.

WARNINGS:
Always use the drying cycle best suited to the fabric to be dried. Only dry articles washed with water in the machine. The following articles must not be dried in the machine:
- Clothes that have been dry-cleaned with chemical products.
- Wool or wool mixture clothes that shrink in hot water.
- Extremely delicate fabrics, such as silk and synthetic curtains.
- Articles made of foam rubber/fibre glass.
- Materials that tend to fray, for example, woollen bows, or etc. Before any drying cycle may be executed, the following 4 conditions must be respected: a)The timer is set in the specific drying position indicated by the symbol b)The timer is set with a drying time selected according to the fabric to be dried. c)The “half-load” button is pressed. d)There is no water in the drum.
