Safeties = Lid: your washing machine is equipped with a safety avoidingthe switching ofthe appliance when the flapdoors of the drum are opened ; the closure of the lid is so impossible. An electromechanic safety prohibits the opening ofthe lid when the washing machine works and 2 minutes after the end of the programme. m Washing motor : in case of mechanic overloading, overvoltage, a thermic safety protects automatically the motor. m 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. N/ Environmental information AI materials marked by the symbol Pa are biodegradable. They can be disposed of without danger or burnt in rubbish incinerators. In orderto 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 onlythe 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 softwater andthenaddseparately 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.

Washing hints Youare advised notto leave yourlaundrytoo long, especially when damp. Damp laundry produces moult and unpleasant smells. Moult stains cannot be removed. Sort your laundry. Study carefully the chartin this bookletexplaining the symbols used on clothes labels (see page 14). The following points are particularly important : - à line under the bowl means that the garment cannotbe washed using programmes forresistant fabrics such as cotton and linen; - do not mix coloured garments with whites; -anticrease materials like polyester/cotton should be treated as synthetics; -non-resistantfabrics like acrylic and mostcurtain 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 perfectwashing 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, ifitis 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%. The same applies to a lesserextentto fastcoloured 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-fastcolours are washed together, they should be treated as non-fast colours and therefore the temperature should not exceed 40°C.

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 willtake a maximum of 4,5 kg of cotton and linen. For synthetics and delicate fabrics, the maximum load is 2,0 kg and for wool, 1 kg. As weighing can be complicated, we suggest you estimate the weightaccording to how fullthe drum is: cotton and linen : drum full nottoo 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 andsimilarobjects can seriously damage your washing machine and laundry; - remove curtain hooks; - wash coloured garments and in particular those with non-fastcolours separately when washing for the firsttime. They are likely to lose colourthe first time they are washed. - treat obstinate stains such as grass, rust, tar, paint, inketc. with a stain remover before washing.

Toremove paintstains, forexample, use a volatile substance such as turpentine: in this case, you should waitforitto 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 Damplaundry 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 protectthe environment. Although biodegradable, detergents contain substances which in large quantities can damage the delicate ecological balance of nature. Always use good quality detergents suitable for use in washing machines. Follow the indications given by the detergent ma- nufacturer 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 harditis, ask your local Water Authority. Powder detergents. The washing powder should be placed in the appropriate compartments ofthe dispenser drawer before starting the programme. S pecial detergents are availaible forcoloured and delicate fabrics and for wool. "Concentrated" powder detergents Pour the concentrated powder detergent into the main wash (y) compartment. Avoid selecting programmes including prewash when concentrated detergents are used. Water hardness Liquid detergents Using the new automatic dispenser for liquid detergents, itis 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. Liquid additives Any liquid additives for softening the laundry must be pouredinto the compartmentéofthe detergent dispenser drawer before starting the programme. The addition ofwatersofteneris particularly useful when drying the clothes in a tumble dryer after washing to avoid a static charge. Make sure thatthe levelofthe liquid neverexceeds the MAX level. Bleach 4 You may use à bleach agent in all the washing programmes. However, make sure thatthe fabric withstands the treatment. Bleach is automatically washed down into the drum. Pour 1/4 to 1 glass of 12° chl bleach into compartment "A" before switching the machine on. Make sure thatthe levelofthe liquid neverexceeds the MAX level.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

VAN Make sure that the machine is unplugged and the water tap turned off before undertaking any kind of maintenance. Bodywork The outside orthe machine can be cleaned with warm water and a neutralnon-abrasive household detergent. Wipe with clean water and dry after cleaning. Important : do not use methylated spirit, diluents or similar products. Itis advisable, from time to time, to carry outa complete cycle without a washing load, adding a decalcifying product. The detergent dispenser The detergent dispenser is very easy to remove. Exerta pressure on the brooches located on each side ofthe detergentdispenserand pullitup (fig.1 and fig.2). Cleanthe detergentdispenserunderrunning water with a brush or a piece ofrag (fig.3). Check thatthe siphons located atthe back of the detergent dispenser are not obstructed (fig.4). Replace the detergentdispenserinthe notches untilthe 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 arti- cles have no hem and tend to fray). m Openthe flapdoor (fig.6) m To drain the residual water: Place below a container not very high up with straight edges. To complete the draining, turn the cap ofthe drain filter until its vertical position and the residual water will be released (fig.7). m Tocleanthefilter: 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.

Installation Unpacking The parts protecting the inner components of the machine during transit are red. They must all be removed before using your machine for the first time. These parts and their securing means should be keptin case the machine has to be transported again. © Unpack the appliance. Tilt the appliance backwards. Give to one of the back corners a quarterturn. The appliance comes free naturally outthe polystyrene basis. Take away this basis (fig. 1). © Open the lid of the appliance and remove the polystyrene and gummi wedges which block the drum. Close the lid (fig. 2). © Onthe back part and with a spanner, remove the two red loosened spacers (A) (fig. 3). © Theholes which are now visible mustbe closed with the plugs (B) provided with the appliance (fig. 4). © Please ensure that these parts have been removed from the machine and keep them in case of next transport (fig. 5). @ !f you want to keep the alignment of your appliance with the adjacent cupboards, you have the possibility to cutthe crossbar holding the hoses located atthe back of your washing machine (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 notrecommended, as the stability ofthe machine is no longer guaran- teed. Ifthe installation mustbe done on a carpeted floor, the openings located atthe lower partofthe 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 atleast2 floor boards. Wherever possible, place the appliance inthe cornerofthe 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 ofthe lock- ing nuts. Levelling Itis essentialthatyour machine is absolutely level. Raise orlowerthe frontfeetofthe 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 orderto avoid vibrations, noise or displace- ments 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 ma- chine. Once the machine placed at the chosen place, bring back the lever to its initial original position.

Water connection Connect the water inlet hose to a cold water tap With a 3/4" gas threaded orifice, afterhavinginserted 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. Placethe curved end ofthe outledhoseinto a drain pipe having a height between 70 and 100 cm from floor level (fig.2) or secure itto a sink (fig.3). Make sure thatthe drain hose is firmly secured so thatit 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. Ifan extension hose is required, remember thatit might cause a malfunction in the drain pump, particularly ifthe extension has a length in excess of 1 meter or if the diameter of the extension is smallerthanthe diameterofthe original drain hose. Electrical connection Before you fitthe plug into the wall socket, check the following points : 1)The supply voltage ofthe domestic wiring system does not fluctuate by more that 10%, plus or minus, from 230 V. 2)The meter, the fuses, the supplyline andthe wall socket are suitable to carry the maximum load required by the machine (2,3 kW). Very important : Thewashing machineis provided with afeeding wire with earth connection: it must be connected to a plug like thatis 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.
