The machine must be installed by professionally qualified technicians, according to the manufacturer’s indications. Incorrect installation may result in damage to persons and property. The machine can be installed anywhere, provided the temperature in the place of installation is not below 3°C and the cables and hoses at the rear of the machine are not crushed in any way. For transport purposes the swinging unit in the machine is blocked using 4 spacers with screws. Before starting the machine these spacers and lock screws must be removed, and stored for use in the event of a possible change of location.

Block off the holes with the plugs provided, which can be found in the bag containing the documents. N.B. If the spacers fall into the inside of the machine, open the rear panel, recover them and then replace the panel.

For transport purposes the swinging unit in the machine is blocked using 4 spacers with screws. Before starting the machine these screws must be removed using a screwdriver.

Insert a screwdriver in the holes and proceed as shown in the figure to recover the 4 plastic spacers. N.B. If the spacers fall into the inside of the machine, open the rear panel, recover them and then replace the panel.

INSTALLING THE MACHINE

After selecting a suitable position, level the machine carefully using the adjustable feet (Fig. 4). Particular care must be taken when selecting the position, levelling the washing machine and ensuring the safety of lock nuts. If levelling is not carried out correctly, the washing machine will be unstable and noisy during operation, which may result in damage. If the machine stands on a carpet floor, make sure that air can circulate freely between the washing machine and the floor itself. It is not recommended that the machine be installed in locations where the temperature is liable to drop below freezing.

■ The mains water pressure ■ The water drain hose must must be between 0.05 and be placed at least 60 cm and

INSTALLING THE MACHINE

CONNECTING TO THE POWER SUPPLY

■ Check that the voltage indi- cated on the technical data plate on the back of the washing machine is the same as that of the mains power supply (fig. 9). ■ The fuses, electric cables and wall socket must be rated to withstand the maximum power load indicated on the data plate. ■ The power supply socket into replaced by a qualified elecwhich the washing machine trician. will be plugged must be ■ The washing machine must earthed.

Attention: Before running the machine loaded for the first time, we re-commend that you run a short washing cycle with the machine empty. This makes it possible to check operation of the machine and clean the drum. Each time you use the machine: ■ check that all water connec- tions are tight, the drain hose is positioned correctly (see

USING THE MACHINE

USE OF DETERGENTS

The washing machine has a three-compartment detergent drawer. compartment for pre-wash or soak powder detergent (1) compartment for normal wash powder detergent (2) compartment for fabric softener (3) use a low-foam detergent and softener (if necessary), of the type indicated for automatic washing machines. Use the doses recommended on the package.

N.B. Excessive amounts of detergent may result in too much foam, and give a poor quality wash. Insufficient amounts of detergent may mean that the washing does not come properly clean. N.B. When filling the detergent compartment it is important that the detergent does not overflow into the compartment used for fabric softener, as this would result in a rinse cycle containing soap, which might leave the washing with white stains. Equally, do not allow the fabric softener to overflow into the detergent compartment, as this would reduce the cleaning capacity. IF THE MODEL HAS A LIQUID DETERGENT COMPARTMENT N.B. When using liquid detergent (recommended for programs that do not use the pre-wash cycle), insert the special container (if there is one) in centre compartment ”2” (as shown opposite), then pour in liquid detergent up to the maximum level indicated. Remember to remove the liquid detergent compartment when using powder detergent.

close the detergent drawer before starting the wash. Attention! Never remove the detergent drawer when the machine is running, as water may come out of it.

USING THE MACHINE

HOW TO REMOVE STAINS

Some stains cannot be removed by just washing in a washing machine. Before trying to remove any type of stain by hand, first try the removal procedure on a small area of hidden fabric starting from the edge of the stain and working inwards, this will prevent a dark ring from forming around the site of the stain. A few methods for removing stains are reported below. ● WAX: scrape the wax using a ● RUST: use products specially ● NAIL VARNISH: place a sheet of blunt point in order not to damdesigned for rust stains, folabsorbent paper on the age the fabric.

INTERNATIONAL CLOTHING CARE SYMBOLS

Before placing the clothes in the washing machine and selecting the wash programme, examine the symbols on the manufacturer’s label. The table reported below will provide a useful guide to reading the symbols.

MAINTENANCE The washing machine has been designed to reduce maintenance to a minimum. However, it is important that you remember to clean it regularly. Before cleaning, make sure that the appliance has been disconnected from the power supply and that the water supply tap has been turned off.

REMOVING THE DETERGENT

DRAWER (fig. A or B, according to the model)

• If the softener compartment “3” has the word “PUSH” written on it: After washing, leave the door open for a little while to allow rubber parts to dry. Wash out the detergent compartments from time to time. To do this, extract the detergent compartment and rinse it under running water, (fig. 20/A) then replace it.

CLEANING THE FILTER

ATTENTION!! Before starting the operations described below, make sure that the washing machine is empty. Do not remove the filter while the machine is running, or when full of water.
