UNPACKING AND UNBLOCKING THE MACHINE

The machine must be installed by qualified personnel following the manufacturer's instructions. Incorrect installation can lead to injuries for persons and damage to objects.

When deciding where to install the washing machine, consider the following advice:

The room must have a water and electrical system. (Remember that cables and hoses at the back of the washing machine must not be crushed).
The washing machine must be placed on a flat and solid surface.
Do not install the machine in a room where the temperature could go below 3^
Place the machine in the chosen location and remove external packaging (fig. 2).
Lift the washing machine and remove the polystyrene base and the plastic spacer (fig. 3).

For transportation, the machine's oscillating parts are blocked by two spacers with screws.

Remove these spacers and screws before starting the machine.

Preserve them for any future moves.

Close the holes with the caps provided inside of the document bag.

Incline the washing machine and extract the two internal polystyrene corner pieces (if present) by pulling the two cardboard strips, first E and then F (fig.5).
Remove the polystyrene spacer (fig. 6).

UNPACKING AND UNBLOCKING THE MACHINE

Remove the polystyrene spacer (fig. 7).

LEVELLING THE WASHING MACHINE

WHERE PROVIDED, use the handling wheel to help moving. To use it, push the lever on the bottom right moving it to the other side. Move the lever back to the original position after moving (fig.8).

Having chosen the adapt place, set the adjustable feet well so that the machine is level (Fig. 9).

Pay particular attention to the choice of the position, to levelling the washing machine and to securing the counternuts.

If the washing machine is not levelled correctly, it will be instable and make noise when operating causing damage.

If the machine is placed on a rug, make sure that air circulates freely between the washing machine and the floor.

CONNECTING TO THE POWER SUPPLY

Make sure that the voltage indicated on the identification plate attached to the inside of the filter door corresponds to that of the mains supply (fig. 10)

All cut-outs, electric wiring and mains sockets must have a rating such that enables them to support the maximum load indicated on the identification plate.

Once the appliance has been installed, it must be connected to the mains supply through a single-pole switch.

The mains supply to which the appliance is connected must be fitted with an earthing system. If this is not the case, the manufacturer will not be held liable for any incidents that may occur (fig. 11).

If the mains socket to which the appliance is connected is faulty or unsuitable, it must be replaced by a qualified electrician.

The washing machine must not be connected to the mains supply using indirect methods such as extension leads or multiple adapters.

During maintenance work, the washing machine must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply.

INSTALLING THE MACHINE

Do not insert or remove the plug from the mains socket with wet hands.

If the power supply cable is damaged in any way, contact the appropriate specialised service centre.

The plug used to connect the machine to the power supply must never be fixed behind the machine, but must be in a position easily accessible in an emergency.

WATER CONNECTION

The mains water pressure must be between 0.05 and 1.00MPa (0,5 - 10 bar.)

Before connection, open the tap and let the water run in order to clean the pipes from impurities like sand and rust. (This operation is very important when the washing machine has been inactive for a long time or when connected to new piping).
The water supply hose must be connected to the cold water outlet with a 3/4'' threaded opening.
Connect the supply hose (fig. 12/13).

N.B. Use the new hose provided with the machine. Do not reuse the old one.

N.B. Clean the filter at the free end of the supply hose periodically. Do it more often when there are frequent interruptions from the water mains (fig.12).

The water supply tap must be completely open during washing.
Connect the drain hose to a drain piping or wall drain between 60 and 90~cm from the ground without squeezing it (fig.14).
If the water drains directly into the drain piping, the free end of the machine hose must be inserted in the piping with an inside diameter no smaller than 40 mm.
If water is drained into the washbasin or another drain, the free end of the hose must be previously reinforced at the bending with an appropriate hook, provided with the washing machine. Then place the hose at the edge of the washbasin and fix the hook to prevent the hose from falling (fig. 15). The washbasin must have its drain clean to allow water to drain freely.

INFORMATION BEFORE USE

Attention: there could be a small amount of water inside the machine due to inspection tests. Before washing laundry for the first time, it is advised to run a brief wash cycle without laundry detergent in order to clean the drum.

Attention: it is important to open and close the drum carefully to avoid damage to the laundry and washing machine

At each wash cycle make sure that:

Hydraulic connections are correct, the drain hose well positioned, (see hydraulic connection) and the tap is open (fig. 16).
Insert the plug in the socket with dry hands.
Sort the laundry according to the type of fabric (see item labelling).
Make sure there are no objects in the pockets of the clothing to be washed which could cause damage to laundry, the machine or the filter
Open the top of the washing machine lightly pressing downwards before lifting it.
Open the drum doors holding both parts with one hand and pressing the opening button with the other (fig. 16).
Put the laundry in the drum being careful not to exceed the maximum program load indicated in the separate program table.
Close the drum doors making sure they are well hooked.
Press down first the front half and then the back so that the closing hooks are inserted and locked. The hooking sound confirms proper closing (fig.18).
Make sure laundry is not stuck between the doors or between the doors and the drum.

USE OF DETERGENT

The washing machine has a compartment for detergent and additives with four chambers (fig. 19).

Iprewash detergent chamber.

main wash detergent chamber.

insing liquid, softener, fragrance and starch chamber.

bleach chamber.

Use reduced foam detergents and softeners (if needed) for automatic washing machines. Follow instructions on the package for dosages. When water is particularly hard, use water softener together with the detergent, preventing scaling from forming on the heat element.

N.B. Use of liquid detergent is possible only for programs without prewash.

High quantities of detergent can produce too much foam and affect washing results negatively. Too little detergent causes insufficient washing.
When filling the chamber with detergent, it is important that is does not go into the softener part since there would be rinsing with foam and fabrics could have white stains. Vice versa, if softener goes into the detergent section it would be less effective.

HOW TO REMOVE SOME STAINS

Stains exist that cannot be removed by machine washing alone. Before trying to remove any type of stain by hand, first try the removal procedure on a small area of hidden fabric. Start 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 to adopt for removing stains are reported below.

WAX: Scrape the wax using a rounded point in order not to damage the fabric. Then, with the fabric placed between two pieces of absorbent paper, run a hot iron over the stain.
BALL POINT PENS AND FELT-TIP PENS: clean using a soft cloth soaked in ethyl alcohol. Take care not to spread the stain.
DAMP AND MOULD: if the fabric supports the use of bleach, carry out a wash cycle adding bleach. Otherwise, soak the soiled part in hydrogen peroxide (10 volumes) and leave for 10 to 15 minutes.
LIGHT SCORCH MARKS LEFT BY IRONING: follow the instructions for mould and damp.
Rust: use products specially designed for rust stains, following the manufacturer's instructions written on the packet.
CHEWING GUM: rub ice over the fabric, scrape away as much chewing gum as possible and then rub with a piece of cotton soaked in acetone.

PAINT: do not allow the paint to dry. Rub the area with the solvent recommended by the paint manufacturer (e.g. water, turps, trichloroethylene), soap and then rinse.
Lipstick: stains on cotton or wool can be eliminated using a cloth soaked in ether. Stains on silk require the use of trichloroethylene.
NAIL VARNISH: place a sheet of absorbent paper on the stained material, then dampen the back of the fabric with acetone, frequently changing the absorbent paper placed over the stain. Continue in this manner until the stain has disappeared.
TAR OR DIRT: spread a little fresh butter over the stain, allow to stand and then wash with oil of turpentine.
GRASS: delicately soap the stain, use diluted bleach. Good results can be obtained on woollen fabrics using 90% alcohol.
BLOOD: put into soak in cold water with added salt, then wash with washing soap.
