In order to realize water and energy savings and  
to act in an environmentally conscious manner,  
we advice to follow the below instructions :  
Washing motor : in case of mechanic  
overloading, overvoltage, a thermic safety  
protects automatically the motor.  
Use if possible the appliance with full loads  
instead of partial loads. Take care to do not  
overload the drum.  
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.

HINTS AND TIPS  
Resistant white and coloured synthetics can  
Washing hints  
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.  
Youareadvisednottoleaveyourlaundrytoolong,  
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  
cannotbewashedusingprogrammesforresistant  
fabrics such as cotton and linen;  
We suggest the use of liquid detergents.  
- 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.  
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  
estimatetheweightaccordingtohowfullthedrum  
is:  
Prewash  
Prewash is not normally necessary. Your new  
washing machine combined with modern  
detergentswillgiveperfectwashingresultswithout  
prewash, thus saving energy, time, water and  
detergent.  
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.  
However, whenthelaundryisparticularlydirty(for  
example if you have to wash mechanics' overalls  
or butchers' aprons), you are advised to use  
prewash with a biological detergent.  
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,clipsandsimilarobjectscanseriouslydamage  
your washing machine and laundry;  
- remove curtain hooks;  
- wash coloured garments and in particular those  
withnon-fastcoloursseparatelywhenwashingfor  
the first time. They are likely to lose colour the first  
time they are washed.  
- treat obstinate stains such as grass, rust, tar,  
paint,inketc.withastainremoverbeforewashing.  
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 perfor-  
mance, but there will be an energy saving of  
approximately 30%.  
Thesameappliestoalesserextenttofastcoloured  
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-fastcoloursarewashedtogether,theyshould  
be treated as non-fast colours and therefore the  
temperature should not exceed 40°C.  
31  
 
To remove paint stains, for example, use a volatile  
substance such as turpentine: in this case, you  
shouldwaitforittodrycompletelybeforewashing.  
The manufacturer of your washing machine is not  
responsible for any damage deriving from the use  
of volatile, inflammable or toxic substances.  
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 pro-  
grammes, while it is better to use a powder  
detergent for high temperature washing  
programmes.  
At the end of the washing  
Damplaundryshouldbedriedassoonaspossible  
after finishing the wash.  
Knitwear and woollens should be dried flat away  
from direct sunlight.  
Liquid additives  
Any liquid additives for softening the laundry must  
bepouredintothecompartment ofthedetergent  
dispenser drawer before starting the programme.  
Theadditionofwatersoftenerisparticularlyuseful  
when drying the clothes in a tumble dryer after  
washing to avoid a static charge.  
Detergents and additives  
Good washing results also depend on the choice  
of detergent and use of the correct quantities to  
avoidwasteandprotecttheenvironment.Although  
biodegradable, detergents contain substances  
which in large quantities can damage the delicate  
ecological balance of nature.  
Makesurethattheleveloftheliquidneverexceeds  
the MAX level.  
Always use good quality detergents suitable  
for use in washing machines.  
Bleach  
You may use a bleach agent in cotton program-  
mes. 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.  
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.  
Makesurethattheleveloftheliquidneverexceeds  
the MAX level.  
Powder detergents.  
The washing powder should be placed in the  
appropriatecompartmentsofthedispenserdrawer  
beforestartingtheprogramme.Specialdetergents  
are availaible for coloured and delicate fabrics  
and for wool.  
"Concentrated" powder detergents

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  
coveringswithfoambackingsisnotrecommended,  
as the stability of the machine is no longer guaran-  
teed. Iftheinstallationmustbedoneonacarpeted  
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 appli-  
ance. In case of small format tiles, place a stan-  
dard 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  
Itisessentialthatyourmachineisabsolutelylevel.  
Raise or lower the front feet of the machine;  
tighten the nuts of the feet with an adjustable  
wrench (fig.1).  
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 displace-  
ments of the appliance during operation.

Water connection  
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  
newpipesorontopipeswhichhavenotbeenused  
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  
wallsocketaresuitabletocarrythemaximumload  
required by the machine (2,3 kW).  
Very important :  
Thewashingmachineisprovidedwithafeeding  
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.
