Disposal
Tips for environmental protection
Packaging materials
The materials marked with the symbol are
recyclable.
>PE<=polyethylene
>PS<=polystyrene
>PP<=polypropylene
This means that they can be recycled by disposing of
them properly in appropriate collection containers.
Machine
Use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance.
Help to keep your country tidy!
To save water, energy and to help protect the
environment, we recommend that you follow these
tips:
• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without
prewashing in order to save detergent, water and
time (the environment is protected too!).
• The machine works more economically if it is fully
loaded.
• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited
soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be
washed at a lower temperature.
• Measure out detergent according to the water
hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of
laundry being washed.
Child safety
• Children are often not aware of how dangerous
electrical appliances can be. When the machine is
working, children should be carefully supervised
and not be allowed to play with the appliance.
• The packaging components (e.g. plastic film,
polystyrene) can be dangerous to children - danger
of suffocation! Keep them out of children’s reach.
• Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children’s
reach.
• Make sure that children or pets do not climb into
the drum.
• When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the
electrical supply cable and destroy the plug with
the remaining cable. Disable the door catch in
order to prevent children from becoming trapped
inside while playing.

Installation
Transit security bars
Before starting the machine up, the transport
security bars must be removed as follows:
You are advised to keep all the transport security
bars in case the appliance has to be transported
again.
1. Unscrew and remove
the three rear screws
by means of a key.
2. Lean the appliance
back on the rear and
fit one of the
polystyrene angles
between the appliance
and the floor.
Make sure the hoses
are not squashed.
3. Carefully remove the
plastic bags on the

pulling them to the
centre of the appliance
4. Place the machine in an upright position and
remove the three plastic bolts.
5. Plug the 3 holes with the plastic plugs which you
can find in the envelope containing the instruction
booklet.
Hydraulic connection
There should be a COLD WATER tap near the
washing machine with a screwing on connection
pipe of 3⁄4” gas for the water supply, a sink, a wash
basin or a drainage system in the wall.
Previously check if:
— it is not a hot water tap.
— the running water is clean. If not, run off a
reasonable amount of water to flush out any
debris that may have collected in the pipes.
Have the permanent drainage system in the wall
checked by a plumber..
A) Place the enclosed
rubber joint, delivered in
a plastic bag together
with the appliance (A)
Fig.6), at the very end of
the inlet hose and
carefully screw the pipe
to the tap taking care not
to damage the
screwdrive and fix the
nut well on to the end in
order to avoid leaking.
B) If necessary turn the
hose adequately by
unscrewing the nut at the
rear of the appliance.
C) Now tighten the nut
anew to avoid leaks.
(Open the tap and asure
that it does not leak and
close it again.)
D) Place the discharging
hose in a washbasin or
sink with the aid of the
bent piece delivered
separately. The bent
piece has to be entered
into the tube’s mouth in
order to assure the
support. Aforesaid piece
allows the hose to be
fixed to the wall by means
of an opening on the
upper part and that way
the hose does not move
and its falling is avoided.

1,5 m. Max.
60 cm. Min.
90 cm. Max.
IMPORTANT: The distance from the floor to the
highest part of the hose should be between 60 to
90 cm. (It is advised to be between 60 and 70 cm).
The hose must not be bent nor twisted to avoid
clogging. Should a prolongation of the discharging
hose be unavoidable this must never surpass 1.5 m
and must be of the same diameter as the original
hose.
Make sure the hoses are not too tense.
Levelling
Level the appliance by loosening or tightening the
feet. Once in the right position fix the feet by
pushing the nuts against the base of the case.
Accurate levelling will prevent vibration, noise and
displacement of the appliance during operation.
Some vibration is inevitable, especially if placed on
a wooden floor. Wooden floors are particularly
susceptible to vibrations. For advice, consult a
builder. If posible always place the appliance on a
solid floor.
Electrical connections
Before plugging the appliance make sure that:
1º. the mains of your installation is the same as on
the rating plate of your appliance (the plate is
sticked to the rear of the appliance).
2º. The meter, the fuses, the wiring and the socket
outlet can support the max. power absorbed stated
on the rating plate.
3º. The socket base and the plug must fit in
adequately without any reducing interposition,
multiple outlets or adapters. If necessary replace
the socket outlet by an adequate one.
The applicable rules for electrical security
require an adequate earthing. The plug of the
appliance is provided with such a device.
Make sure your socket outlet is provided with
an adquate earthing too.
The manufacturer declines any liability in case
of accidents or incicents should these safety
measures not be observed.

Washing hints
Sorting the laundry
Follow the wash code symbols on each garment
label and the manufacturer’s washing instructions.
Sort the laundry as follows:
whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.
Temperatures
90° for normally soiled white cottons and linen
(e.g. tea cloths, towels, tablecloths,
sheets...)
60° for normally soiled, colour fast garments
(e.g. shirts, night dresses, pyjamas....) in
linen, cotton or synthetic fibres and for
lightly soiled white cotton (e.g. underwear).
(cold)for delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed
30°-40° laundry including synthetic fibres and
woollens.
Before loading the laundry
Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites
may lose their “whiteness” in the wash.
New coloured items may run in the first wash; they
should therefore be washed separately the first time.
Make sure that no metal objects are left in the
laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).
Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks
and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.
Remove persistent stains before washing. Rub
particularly soiled areas with a special detergent or
detergent paste.
Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or tie
them up in a bag or net.
Maximum loads
Recommended loads are indicated in the
programme charts.
General rules:
Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed;
Synthetics: drum no more than half full;
Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more than
one third full.
Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient
use of water and energy.
For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.
Laundry weights
The following weights are indicative:
bathrobe 1200 g
napkin 100 g
quilt cover 700 g
sheet 500 g
pillow case 200 g
tablecloth 250 g
towelling towel 200 g
tea cloth 100 g
night dress 200 g
ladies’ briefs 100 g
man’s work shirt 600 g
man’s shirt 200 g
man’s pyjamas 500 g
blouse 100 g
men’s underpants 100 g
Removing stains
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water
and detergent. It is therefore advisable to treat them
prior to washing.
Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried
stains, soak overnight in water with a special
detergent then rub in the soap and water.
Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain
remover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the
stain; treat several times.
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay
the garment on a soft surface and dab the stain with
the fingertips and a cotton cloth.
Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust
removing product used cold. Be careful with rust
stains which are not recent since the cellulose
structure will already have been damaged and the
fabric tends to hole.
Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whites
and fast coloureds only).
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and
fast coloureds only).
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone (*),
lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat
stains with methylated spirits. Remove any residual
marks from white fabrics with bleach.
Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and
treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse. Treat any
residual marks with bleach.
12
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric
first with acetone (*), then with acetic acid; treat any
residual marks on white fabrics with bleach and then
rinse thoroughly.
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated
spirits or benzine, then rub with detergent paste.
(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk.
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 upset the delicate
balance of nature.
The choice of detergent will depend on the type of
fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the colour,
washing temperature and degree of soiling.
All commonly available washing machine detergents
may be used in this appliance:
– powder detergents for all types of fabric,
– powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C max)
and woollens,
– liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature
wash programmes (60°C max) for all types of
fabric, or special for woollens only.
The detergent and any additives must be placed in
the appropriate compartments of the dispenser
drawer before starting the wash programme.
If using concentrated powder or liquid detergents, a
programme without prewash must be selected.
The washing machine incorporates a recirculation
system which allows an optimal use of the
concentrated detergent.
Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer
compartment marked just before starting the
programme.
Any fabric softener or starching additives must be
poured into the compartment marked before
starting the wash programme.
Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations
on quantities to use and do not exceed the «MAX»
mark in the detergent dispenser drawer.
Quantity of detergent to be used
The type and quantity of detergent will depend on
the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and
hardness of the water used.
Water hardness is classified in so-called “degrees” of
hardness. Information on hardness of the water in
your area can be obtained from the relevant water
supply company, or from your local authority.
Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on
quantities to use.
Use less detergent if:
– you are washing a small load,
– the laundry is lightly soiled,
– large amounts of foam form during washing.
