Safeties
Environmental information
Lid : your washing machine is equipped with a safety avoiding the switching of the appliance when the flapdoors of the drum are opened ; the closure of the lid is so impossible. An electromechanic safety prohibits the opening of the lid when the washing machine works and 2 minutes after the end of the programme.
Washing motor : in case of mechanic overloading, overvoltage, a thermic safety protects automatically the motor.
Heating : the heating can only begin when the water quantity necessary for the washing is in the tub. This safety is useful when there is a water break-up or if you forget to open the water inlet hose.
Anti-balanced system : This safety allows to the appliance to keep a perfect stability during the intermediary spinnings and during the final spinning. If you notice that your laundry is not spinned enough, the anti-balanced system has then detected a bad distribution of the laundry during the final spinning ; so it is adviced to realize a new spinning taking care to unpack handly the laundry before.
All materials marked by the symbol are biodegradable. They can be disposed of without danger or burnt in rubbish incinerators.
In order to realize water and energy savings and to act in an environmentally conscious manner, we advice to follow the below instructions :
Use if possible the appliance with full loads
instead of partial loads. Take care to do not overload the drum.
Use only the programmes with prewash for very soiled laundry.
Savings on detergent and for the environment
may also be achieved if with medium to hard water you add sufficient detergent for soft water and then add separately a softener. This relieves our waters of a certain amount of chemicals.
When disposing of the machine in a proper manner, destroy the door lock and cut off the power supply cord.

HINTS AND TIPS
Washing hints
You are advised not to leave your laundry too long, especially when damp. Damp laundry produces moult and unpleasant smells. Moult stains cannot be removed.
Sort your laundry.
Study carefully the chart in this booklet explaining the symbols used on clothes labels The following points are particularly important :
- a line under the bowl means that the garment cannot be washed using programmes for resistant fabrics such as cotton and linen;
- do not mix coloured garments with whites;
- anticrease materials like polyester/cotton should be treated as synthetics;
- non-resistant fabrics like acrylic and most curtain materials should be treated as delicate fabrics;
- the wool programme is designed specifically for pure new wool. Other types of wool and wool mixtures may shrink or felt if machine-washed. Woollen garments should be spun briefly immediately after washing.
Prewash
Prewash is not normally necessary. Your new washing machine combined with modern detergents will give perfect washing results without prewash, thus saving energy, time, water and detergent. However, when the laundry is particularly dirty (for example if you have to wash mechanics' overalls or butchers' aprons), you are advised to use prewash with a biological detergent.
Temperatures
We suggest that white cotton and linen, if it is not excessively soiled, can be washed at 60° instead of 95°C. There should be no reduction in perfor­mance, but there will be an energy saving of approximately 30%. The same applies to a lesser extent to fast coloured garments. They usually require a temperature of 60°C but if they are not excessively dirty, you will have satisfactory results at 40°C. Garments with non-fast colours should not be washed at temperatures above 40°C. If fast and non-fast colours are washed together, they should be treated as non-fast colours and therefore the temperature should not exceed 40°C.
(see page 32).
Resistant white and coloured synthetics can normally be washed at 60°C but also in this case 40°C is sufficient if the laundry is not excessively dirty. Delicate synthetics, synthetics with non-fast colours and woollen garments must never be washed above 40°C. As you already know, your washing machine can also wash with cold water. However, it must be remembered that the detergents currently on the market have not been designed for cold washes and that in winter, when the water is very cold, they may not dissolve adequately. We suggest the use of liquid detergents.
How much laundry can be washed in one load?
Strictly speaking you should always weigh your laundry. The drum will take a maximum of 5 kg of cotton and linen. For synthetics and delicate fabrics, the maximum load is 2,5 kg and for wool, 1 kg.
As weighing can be complicated, we suggest you estimate the weight according to how full the drum is:
cotton and linen : drum full not too tighty packed resistant synthetics : no more than 2/3 of the
drum delicate fabrics and wool : no more than 1/2 of the drum.
Before placing the laundry in the machine:
- mend all tears, holes and ladders;
- secure loose buttons and close poppers and zips;
- do not wash frayed garments - mend hems before washing;
- remove all small objects from pockets. Nails, pins, clips and similar objects can seriously damage your washing machine and laundry;
- remove curtain hooks;
- wash coloured garments and in particular those with non-fast colours separately when washing for the first time. They are likely to lose colour the first time they are washed.
- treat obstinate stains such as grass, rust, tar, paint, ink etc. with a stain remover before washing.
30
To remove paint stains, for example, use a volatile substance such as turpentine: in this case, you should wait for it to dry completely before washing. The manufacturer of your washing machine is not responsible for any damage deriving from the use of volatile, inflammable or toxic substances.
At the end of the washing
Damp laundry should be dried as soon as possible after finishing the wash. Knitwear and woollens should be dried flat away from direct sunlight.
Detergents and additives
Good washing results also depend on the choice of detergent and use of the correct quantities to avoid waste and protect the environment. Although biodegradable, detergents contain substances which in large quantities can damage the delicate ecological balance of nature.
Liquid detergents
Using the new automatic dispenser for liquid detergents, it is possible to use a liquid detergent for main wash phases if you start the washing machine immediately. Liquid detergents can be used instead of powder detergents particularly for lightly soiled laundry and for medium or low temperature washing pro­grammes, while it is better to use a powder detergent for high temperature washing programmes.
Liquid additives
Any liquid additives for softening the laundry must be poured into the compartment dispenser drawer before starting the programme. The addition of water softener is particularly useful when drying the clothes in a tumble dryer after washing to avoid a static charge. Make sure that the level of the liquid never exceeds the MAX level.
of the detergent
Always use good quality detergents suitable for use in washing machines.
Follow the indications given by the detergent ma­nufacturer according to the weight of laundry, the degree of soil and the hardness of the water in your area; if you do not know how hard it is, ask your local Water Authority.
Powder detergents.
The washing powder should be placed in the appropriate compartments of the dispenser drawer before starting the programme. Special detergents are availaible for coloured and delicate fabrics and for wool.
"Concentrated" powder detergents
Pour the concentrated powder detergent into the main wash (
Avoid selecting programmes including prewash when concentrated detergents are used.
) compartment.
Bleach
You may use a bleach agent in all the washing programmes. However, make sure that the fabric withstands the treatment. Bleach is automatically washed down into the drum. Pour 1/4 to 1 glass of 12° chl bleach into compartment " switching the machine on. Make sure that the level of the liquid never exceeds the MAXI level.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Make sure that the machine is unplugged and
the water tap turned off before undertaking any kind of maintenance.
Bodywork
The outside or the machine can be cleaned with warm water and a neutral non-abrasive household detergent. Wipe with clean water and dry after cleaning. Important : do not use methylated spirit, diluents or similar products. It is advisable, from time to time, to carry out a complete cycle without a washing load, adding a decalcifying product.
The detergent dispenser
The detergent dispenser is very easy to remove.
Exert a pressure on the brooches located on each side of the detergent dispenser and pull it up (fig.1 and fig.2).
fig.1
fig.2
Clean the detergent dispenser under running water with a brush or a piece of rag (fig.3). Check that the siphons located at the back of the detergent dis­penser are not obstructed (fig.4).
Replace the detergent dispenser in the notches until the hanging (fig.5).
The drain filter
The machine has got a mecanic filter located on the front part to collect lint and small objects (toothpins, coins, pins, etc) inadvertently left in the clothes. It is essential that this filter is cleaned regularly.
Frequency of cleaning depends on the type of articles washed (cleaning should be more frequent if the articles have no hem and tend to fray).
Open the flapdoor (fig.6) To drain the residual water : Place below a container not very high up with straight edges. To complete the draining, turn the cap of the drain filter until its vertical position and the residual water will be released (fig.7). To clean the filter : Turn the filter anticlockwise and get it away (fig.8). Clean it with current water. Replace the filter and screw down it clockwise. Then, close the flapdoor.

Fig 5
Fig 6
Installation
The floor must be clean and dry, free from floor polish and other greasy substances, so that the machine does not slide about. Do not use any grease as lubrification. Installation on deep pile carpets and floor coverings with foam backings is not recommended, as the stability of the machine is no longer guaranteed. If the installation must be done on a carpeted floor, the openings located at the lower part of the back of the appliance must remain free. These openings ensure a good ventilation of your appliance. In case of small format tiles, place a standard rubber mat under the machine.
With sprung floors, in particular wooden plank floors with yielding floor boards, screw down a waterproof wooden base at least 15 mm thick, across at least 2 floor boards. Wherever possible, place the appliance in the corner of the room - there wooden floors are most secure and least liable to resonance vibrations. Never compensate for small unevennesses in the floor by placing wood, pasteboard or such like.
The front adjustable feet must be blocked after installation of the appliance by means of the locking nuts.
Levelling
It is essential that your machine is absolutely level. Raise or lower the front feet of the machine; tighten the nuts of the feet with an adjustable wrench. Also make sure that the machine does not touch the wall, the furnitures etc. during the functioning. This in order to avoid vibrations, noise or displace­ments of the appliance during operation.
Moving of the appliance
To move your washing machine, put it on its wheels by turning from the right to the left the special lever situated at the bottom of the ma­chine. Once the machine placed at the chosen place, bring back the lever to its initial original position.
37
Water connection
146 1219 00
Connect the water inlet hose to a cold water tap with a 3/4" gas threaded orifice, after having inserted the rugger sealing washer into the hose collar. If the water connection is made onto new pipes or onto pipes which have not been used for a long time, it is advisable to run off a certain amount of water before connecting the machine. Place the curved end of the outled hose into a drain pipe having a height between 70 and 100 cm from floor level or secure it to a sink or bath tub. Make sure that the drain hose is firmly secured so that it will not slip out or fall down from its position.
The water should drain freely and, consequently, the drain hose should not be choked or placed in such a way as to obstruct the normal water flow. If an extension hose is required, remember that it might cause a malfunction in the drain pump, particularly if the extension has a length in excess of 1 meter or if the diameter of the extension is smaller than the diameter of the original drain hose.
Electrical connection
Before you fit the plug into the wall socket, check the following points :
1) The supply voltage of the domestic wiring system does not fluctuate by more that 10%, plus or minus, from 230 V.
2) The meter, the fuses, the supply line and the wall socket are suitable to carry the maximum load required by the machine (2,3 kW).
Very important : The washing machine is provided with a feeding wire with earth connection: it must be connected to a plug like that is provided with a good earth connection. The wall plug must be easily accessible.
The replacing of the power cord must only be realized by the After Sales Service.
The manufacturer declines any responsibility where the previous recommendations are not followed.
