2.1 - Un-blocking the drum

After removing the external packing the drum must be un-blocked before the machine is used.

A B C D H H H H

This is done in the following manner:

1.) Unscrew and remove the four screws A-B-C-D.

2.) Push with a screwdriver at an angle in the screw holes until the four spacers (H) fall.

These must be recovered and kept.

3.) It is very important to recover these four spacers (H) because they could cause damage if they remain inside the machine and also because they will be required to move the machine in the case of moving house.

2.2 -Plumbing connection

The user will require a tap with a 3/4" gas screwthread outlet and a drain situated between 50 and 80 cms. above floor level. The watermain pressure must be between 4 and 98 N/cm² inclusively.

Proceed as follows:

-Let the water run for a while before connecting the hose.

-Connect the water inlet hose applying the rubber joint provided in the fittings equipment bag.

-Position the drainage hose inside a hose of a larger diameter, or rest it well fastened against any kind of drain at the height indicated.

-Neither of the hoses should be twisted or kinked.

Max.80 cm. Min.50 cm H C

C- Cold water connection.
H- Hot water connection.

The "H" connection can only be applied in those machines fitted for this (Bithermical).

2.3 - Levelling

For the appliance to work under optimum conditions, it needs to be levelled perfectly, i.e. horizontal and stable.

J I

- Once the machine has been positioned in 1st place, work the adjustable feet "I" at the front of the washing machine, until it is horizontal and the four feet are resting firmly on the floor.

- Once the levelling is done, block the adjustable feet by tightening the nut "J".

- In order to prevent noise and vibration, ensure that the machine is not touching any nearby walls or furniture.

- Make periodic checks that the machine is levelled by repeating these operations if necessary.

2.4 -Electrical connection

Before connecting the washing machine to the power supply, the following points should be checked through:

- That the power supply, is single-phase 230 V \~ (230-240 \~ for UK).

3.3 - Selecting the clothes load

Beffore putting the clothes into the machine, you should:

• Separate the clothes into three lots (cotton, synthetics and wool).
• Within each group, separate the coloureds from the whites.
• Once the clothes have been sorted, put them into the drum of the machine, separately according to colour and group, loose piece by piece, as per the following proportions:

Cotton maximum 5 kg.

Synthetics maximum 2,5 kg.

Wool maximum 1 kg.

3.4 - Selecting the right program

Once the clothes have been sorted into fabric types and colours, you need to select the right program and temperature. SEE PROGRAM TABLE (Section 8).

3.5 - Starting operation

With the machine now loaded, the door closed, the soap drawer compartments filled and the right program chosen, to start the machine, you just need to PULL OUT THE PROGRAMMER CONTROL BUTTON (P), OR ON THE PUSH-BUTTONT (X).

The machine automatically goes through all the operations included in the wash cycle until it ends.

The wash is now ready to be hung out dry (or to be ironed in the case of washer - dryers).

3.6 - How to get the best performance

3.6-1 - Maximise the load (Section 8)

You obtain the most efficient use of energy, water, detergent and time by using the maximum recommended load.

You save 50% energy by washing one full load instead of two half loads.

3.6-2 - Do you need a pre-wash?

Only for deeply stained laundry !.

You save detergent, water, time and between 5 to 15% of energy through not using the pre-wash for light and anormally soiled clothes.

3.6-3 - Do you need hot water?

Soak or treat stains before the wash, in order to reduce to need to use the hot programme.

You save 50% energy by using the 60°C programme.

3.6-4 - For washer-dryers: before using the dryer

Select high ( ≥ 850 rpm) for the spin before drying, in order to save energy, water hand time during the drying period.

4- MAINTENANCE

4.1 - Cleaning the drain-pump

This machine is fitted with a high-performance SELF-CLEANING motorized pump.

This pump has the capacity to pull along and to wash away with the water any fibres, buttons or objects of a small size. Because of this, the machine does not require a water filter.

Under normal circumstances, this motorized pump cannot become blocked. If it should become blocked in any case, call the Technical Assistance Service to have this malfunction put right.

N.B.: Before placing clothes in the washing machine, make sure there are no coins, buttons, clips, etc. in any pockets.

4.2 - Cleaning the electrovalve filter.

CLEAN

Any impurities in the water supply are deposited in the filter at the inlet to the electrovalve.

To clean this filter:

a) Turn off the water tap.

b) Unscrew the water inlet hose at the washing machine end.

c) Remove the filter using pointed pliers and clean it.

d) Reverse the procedure to re-attach the hose.

4.3 - Cleaning remains of detergent.

AVOID

Overfilling the prewash and main wash compartments with too must detergent causes remains to be deposited inside the collector, and could, over time, cause water to leak through the entrance of the detergent drawer.

To eliminate these remains, remove the soap drawer by pulling it outwards, and clean it thoroughly.

5- CAUTIONS AND ADVICE

In order to get maximum satisfaction and performance from this appliance, it is important to follow the instructions indicated below:

• Select the clothes load correctly (section 3.3) and choose the appropriate programme (section 8).
  Before starting to operate the machine, it must be released from its blocking (section 2.1).

  ◆ Plug the power supply plug into a socket with an EARTH CONNECTION and at the correct voltage.
  Put in the washing products in the right proportion and the right compartment (section 3.2).
  ◆ Small garments, such as socks, belts, etc. are best put inside a bag to avoid them being lost.
  Before putting clothes into the washing machine, make sure that there is nothing in the pockets (coins, buttons, clips, etc.) and that zips are undone.
  ◆ If your machine has a filter, you should periodically check it is clean (sec. 4.1).
  ◆ The interior of the washing machine should be handled by specialist only.
• After each wash, leave the door ajar to prevent the rubber seal from becoming misshapen.
  When the clothes to be washed are heavily soiled or splattered with mud, it is advisable to run a program with prewash.
  ◆ Always put the machine on full, to save energy.
  When the machine is installed, or after a long time without it being used, it is advisable to run a wash program with the machine empty, to eliminate any rusty water in the tubes.
• For washer-dryers, do not use the dryer function if the clothes have been treated with any non-aqueous solution.
• Also for washer-dryers, do not use the dryer function for items containing spongey rubber or similar elastomer materials.
• The dryer must be installed in a well-ventilated place, awway from the influence of gases from other appliances and from defective installations.
• The lower ventilation, between the floor and the base of the machine, must not be obstructed (by carpet, cloths, etc.).

6- SAFETY FEATURES

An electro-mechanical safety device prevents the loading door from opening whilst the appliance is operating, thus preventing access to the inside of the machine and the consequent danger of injuries to the hands from coming into contact with high temperatures or from the movement of the drum.

6.2 - In the wash motor

In the event of mechanical underload or overload, a thermal safety device automatically protects the motor.

6.3 - Heating

Heating of the wash water cannot start until the required water level is reached. If there is not enough water or the tap is off, the machine stops (the program does not move forward).

A safety thermostat prevents excess temperatures.

6.4 - Plumbing.Water inlet

In the event the filter clogs.the machine will never overflow,and in the event the pump motor suffers an electrical malfunction,the filling valve will not work.

6.5 - Child safety

The accesses to the loading door and to the pump motor filter are protected against any accidental handling by children.
