Water inlet than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm. The end of the drain hose must always be ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain pipe must be larger than the outside diameter of the drain hose. Any extension applied to the drainage hose should not be longer than 200 cm and its diameter must not be smaller than that of the original hose. Use a suitable fitting for the connection. The drain hose must not be kinked. Run it along the floor; only the part near the drainage point must be raised. Connect the water inlet hose supplied with the machine to a tap with a 3/4" thread. Do not use already employed hoses for water connection. The other end of the inlet hose which connects to the machine can be turned in any direction. Simply loosen the fitting, rotate the hose and retighten the fitting, making sure there are no water leaks. P1088 P0021 The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too short and you do not wish to move the tap, you will have to purchase a new, longer hose specially designed for this type of use. P0023 For a correct functioning of the machine the drain hose must remain hooked on the proper support piece situated on the top part of the back side of the appliance. Important! Before connecting up the machine to new pipework or to pipework that has not been used for some time, run off a reasonable amount of water to flush out any debris that may have collected in the pipes. Electrical connection This machine is designed to operate on a 220-230 V, single-phase, 50 Hz supply. Water drainage Check that your domestic electrical installation can take the maximum load required (2.2 kW), also taking into account any other appliances in use. The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways: Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plastic hose guide supplied with the machine. In this case, make sure the end cannot come unhooked when the machine is emptying. This could be done by tying it to the tap with a piece of string or attaching it to the wall. Connect the machine to an earthed socket. The manufacturer declines any responsibility for damage or injury through failure to comply with the above safety precaution. Should the appliance power supply cable need to be replaced, this should be carried out by our Service Centre. Please ensure that when the appliance is installed the power supply cable is easily accessible. P0022 In a sink drain pipe branch.

Your new washing machine This new washing machine, which is fitted with the Jet System, meets all modern needs for effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy and detergent consumption. Further savings are achieved by washing small loads of laundry, since water and electricity consumption is proportional to the quantity and type of laundry being washed.

• The special wool programme with its new delicate wash system treats your woollens with extreme care.
• The automatic cooling of the washing water from 95° to 60°C before draining will prevent old drain pipes from being deformed and will reduce thermal shock to fabrics, helping to prevent creasing.
• The unbalance detection device prevents vibration during spinning.
• Your washing machine now talks to you. It incorporates an advanced vocal board able to guide you through the entire washing process and to alert you in case of any operating errors. The messages given make washing easier! Description of the appliance 1 Detergent dispenser drawer

Maximum loads Washing hints Recommended loads are indicated in the programme charts. Sorting the laundry General rules: 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. Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed; Temperatures Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient use of water and energy. 95° for normally soiled white cottons and linen (e.g. tea cloths, towels, tablecloths, sheets...) For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size. 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). Laundry weights Synthetics: drum no more than half full; Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more than one third full. The following weights are indicative: bathrobe (cold) for delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed 30°-40° laundry including synthetic fibres and woollens bearing the label «pure new wool, machine washable, non-shrink». The wool wash cycle of this machine has been approved by Woolmark for the washing of machine washable Woolmark products provided that the garments are washed according to the instructions on the garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this washing machine.

Whites may lose their “whiteness” in the wash. Removing stains New coloured items may run in the first wash; they should therefore be washed separately the first time. Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and detergent. It is therefore advisable to treat them prior to washing. Make sure that no metal objects are left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins). 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. Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes. Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain remover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain; treat several times. Remove persistent stains before washing. Rub particularly soiled areas with a special detergent or detergent paste. Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay the garment on a soft surface and dab the stain with the fingertips and a cotton cloth. Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or tie them up in a bag or net. 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. Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations on quantities to use and do not exceed the «MAX» mark in the detergent dispenser drawer. Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whites and fast coloureds only). Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and fast coloureds only). Quantity of detergent to be used Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone (*), lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain. The type and quantity of detergent will depend on the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and hardness of the water used. Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat stains with methylated spirits. Remove any residual marks from white fabrics with bleach. 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. Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse. Treat any residual marks with bleach. Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on quantities to use. 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. Use less detergent if: – you are washing a small load, – the laundry is lightly soiled, Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated spirits or benzine, then rub with detergent paste. – large amounts of foam form during washing. (*) do not use acetone on artificial silk. Degrees of water hardness Detergents and additives Degrees 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. Level 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. 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.
