Safeties
Lid : your washing machine is equipped with
asafety avoidingtheswitching oftheappliance
when the flapdoors of the drum are opened ;
the closure of the lid is so impossible. An
electromechanic safety prohibits the opening
ofthelidwhenthewashingmachineworksand
2 minutes after the end of the programme.
Washing motor : in case of mechanic
overloading, overvoltage, a thermic safety
protects automatically the motor.
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.
Anti-balanced system : This safety allows to
the appliance to keep a perfect stability during
the intermediary spinnings and during the final
spinning.
If you notice that your laundry is not spinned
enough, the anti-balanced system has then
detectedabaddistributionofthelaundryduring
the final spinning ; so it is adviced to realize a
new spinning taking care to unpack handly the
laundry before.
Environmental information

HINTS AND TIPS
Washing hints
Youareadvisednottoleaveyourlaundrytoolong,
especially when damp. Damp laundry produces
moult and unpleasant smells.
Moult stains cannot be removed.
Sort your laundry.
Studycarefully the chart in thisbooklet explaining
the symbols used on clothes labels (see page 14).
The following points are particularly important :
- a line under the bowl means that the garment
cannotbewashedusingprogrammesforresistant
fabrics such as cotton and linen;
- do not mix coloured garments with whites;
-anticreasematerialslikepolyester/cottonshould
be treated as synthetics;
-non-resistantfabricslikeacrylicandmostcurtain
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
detergentswillgiveperfectwashingresultswithout
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, if it is 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%.
Thesameappliestoalesserextenttofastcoloured
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-fastcoloursarewashedtogether,theyshould
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.
Thedrumwilltakeamaximumof5kgofcottonand
linen. For synthetics and delicate fabrics, the
maximum load is 2,5 kg and for wool, 1 kg.
Asweighing can be complicated, we suggestyou
estimatetheweightaccordingtohowfullthedrum
is:
cotton and linen : drumfullnottootightypacked
resistant synthetics : no more than 2/3 of the
drum
delicate fabrics and wool : no more than 1/2 of
thedrum.
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,clipsandsimilarobjectscanseriouslydamage
your washing machine and laundry;
- remove curtain hooks;
- wash coloured garments and in particular those
withnon-fastcoloursseparatelywhenwashingfor
thefirsttime. Theyarelikelytolose colour thefirst
time they are washed.
- treat obstinate stains such as grass, rust, tar,
paint,inketc.withastainremoverbeforewashing.

substance such as turpentine: in this case, you
shouldwaitforittodrycompletelybeforewashing.
Themanufacturer of your washingmachine is not
responsibleforanydamagederivingfromtheuse
of volatile, inflammable or toxic substances.
At the end of the washing
Damplaundryshouldbedriedassoonaspossible
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
avoidwasteandprotecttheenvironment.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 hard it is, ask
your local Water Authority.
Powder detergents.
The washing powder should be placed in the
appropriatecompartmentsofthedispenserdrawer
beforestartingtheprogramme.Specialdetergents

for wool.
"Concentrated" powder detergents
Pour the concentrated powder detergent into the
main wash ( ) compartment.
Avoid selecting programmes including
prewash when concentrated detergents are
used.

Liquid detergents
Using the new automatic dispenser for liquid
detergents, it is possible to use a liquid detergent
for main wash phases if you start the washing
machineimmediately.
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.

Water connection
Connect the water inlet hose to a cold water tap
with a 3/4" gas threaded orifice, after having
inserted the rugger sealing washer into the hose
collar. 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.
Place the curved end of the outled hose into a
drainpipehavingaheightbetween70and100cm
from floor level or secure it to a sink or bath tub.
Makesurethatthedrainhoseisfirmlysecuredso
thatit willnotslipoutorfalldownfromitsposition.
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.
If an extension hose is required, remember that it
might cause a malfunction in the drain pump,
particularlyiftheextensionhasalengthinexcess
of 1 meter or if the diameter of the extension is
smaller than the diameter of the original drain
hose.
Electrical connection
Before you fit the plug into the wall socket, check
the following points :
1) The supply voltage of the domestic wiring
systemdoesnotfluctuate by more that10%,plus
