Safeties

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.

Environmental information

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.

The anti-foam system: water consumption is very
low, due to the electronic spin cycle with an inter­mediate spin after the main wash and three rinse
cycles for white and color programs. The spin cycle
remains under the control of the foam detection
system after the wash cycle has finished. If
necessary, the spin cycle will stop until all foam is
removed.

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.

- 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 (see page 14).
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.

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:

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
90°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.

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.

- 11 -

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 of the detergent 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.

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 ( ) compartment.

Avoid selecting programmes including prewash
when concentrated detergents are used.

Bleach

You may use a bleach agent on cotton 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 " " before switching the machine on.
Make sure that the level of the liquid never exceeds the
MAX 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).
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).

fig.1

fig.2

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 door, with a screwdriver for example (fig.6

and7) :

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.8)
To clean the filter :
Turn the filter anticlockwise and get it away (fig.9).
Clean it with current water. Replace the filter and

screw down it clockwise. Then, close the flapdoor.
After cleaning the filter, you are required to closed the
door. In fact, for reasons of safety, the door must be
closed when the appliance is working.

using your machine for the first time. These parts
and their securing means should be kept in case
the machine has to be transported again.

Unpack the appliance. Tilt the appliance
backwards. Give to one of the back corners a
quarter turn. The appliance comes free naturally
out the polystyrene basis. Take away this basis
(fig. 1).

Open the lid of the appliance and remove the
polystyrene and plastic wedges which block the
drum. Close the lid (fig. 2).

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.

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
(fig.1). 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 (fig.2) or secure it to a sink (fig.3). 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 in order to avoid
any danger.

The manufacturer declines any responsibility where
the previous recommendations are not followed.
