safety instructions
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas
may be produced in a hot-water system that
has not been used for two weeks or more.
Hydrogen gas is explosive. If the hot-water
system has not been used for two weeks or
more, turn on the hot-water faucets and let
water flow for a few minutes before operating
the washing machine. This will cause any
built-up hydrogen gas to dissipate. Since
the gas is flammable, do not smoke or keep
an open flame on while the faucets are
running.
Do not allow children to play over or inside
the machine. Strict supervision is required
when using the machine around children.
The door must be removed before the
machine is disposed of or taken out of
service.
Do not access the inside of the machine
if the drum or the agitator are moving.
warnings
The washing machine comes with a
manual, which includes installation, operation,
and maintenance instructions. Please read
all instructions carefully before using the
washing machine.
Do not wash garments that have been
previously cleaned, washed, soaked or
treated with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents,
or other flammable or explosive substances.
They could give off vapors that may ignite
or explode.
Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents
or any other flammable or explosive
substances to the wash water, since these
give off vapors that may ignite or explode.
Do not attempt to repair the machine,
replace any of its components, or service it
in any way, unless it is recommended in the
maintenance instructions included in the
manual.
Do not climb over the machine or lean on
the open door.
Do not use an extension or adapter to
connect the washing machine to the wall
outlet.
The machine may only be used for its
intended purposes.
Follow the washing instructions
recommended by the garment manufacturer.
Before operating the machine, ensure that:
• It has been installed according to the
installation instructions.
• All water lines, drain tubes, electrical
connections and ground lines are
connected according to local laws and/or
other applicable regulations.
To avoid fire hazards, electric shocks, personal injury, or other types of damage, take the
following precautions when using your washing machine:

CONNECTING WATER AND
DRAINAGE SYSTEM
The water inlet tube is located inside the
drum:
aConnect the elbow end of the tube to
the threaded intake of the electro valve
located at the back of the machine.
bConnect the other end of the tube to
the water intake. Once you have
completed this operation, tighten the
connecting bolt firmly.
installation and setup
The elbow part of the drain tube must
be firmly connected to the outlet, so it
does not fall off, in order to avoid the
risk of flooding.
If your washing machine has an inlet for
hot water, connect the red threaded
tube to the hot water faucet, and to the
electro valve with a red filter.
The washing machine must be
connected to the water inlet system
using the new inlet tubes provided with
the machine. The previously used water
inlet tubes must not be used.
For the washing machine to function
properly, the water pressure should be
0.05-1MPa (0.5-10 kg/cm2/ 1.10-22.05
psi).
aIt is recommended to have a fixed drain
outlet, 50-70cm/19.69-27.56in from the
floor.
The supplied elbow should be used to
prevent the drain tube from being too
tight, bent or pinched.

Before making any electrical connections, refer
to the data indicated on the specifications
label attached to the machine’s door. Make
sure that the voltage supplied to the plug’s
base is the one indicated on the label.
Do not remove the specifications label, as the
information on it is important.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
LEVELING THE MACHINE
The washing machine must be connected
to a properly grounded power outlet.
The electrical installation, plug, outlet, fuses,
or automatic switch and counter must be
adjusted to the maximum power indicated
on the specifications label.
Do not insert the machine’s plug into the
outlet with wet or moist hands.
To remove the cable from the outlet, pull
out the pin body, do not pull from the cable.
If the power supply cable is damaged, it
must be replaced with a special cable or
assembly supplied by the manufacturer or
after-sales service department.
On recessed washing machines, the outlet
pin must be accessible after installation.
Connect to individual branch circuit.
aWe recommend seating and
leveling the back first. Once these
are well seated, firmly fix the metal
locknut to the top section.
bPlace the washing machine in the
recess. A wet floor may help you
drag the machine to its final
location.
cLevel and fix the front feet in the
same manner as the back feet.
Be sure to keep the supplied
wrench, you might need it again.
Important!

operating the machine and useful tips
PREPARING CLOTHES
aSort clothes by fabric or type.
We recommend the use of gentle cycles
for delicate garments. Wool garments
may be washed with a special cycle for
wool fabrics.
bSort clothes by degree of soiling.
•Use a short cycle time for slightly soiled
garments.
•Use a cycle time without pre-cleaning
for medium soiled garments.
•You may use a long cycle time with
pre-cleaning for heavily soiled garments.
cSort clothes by color.
Wash white clothes and colored clothes
separately.
Important!
Before washing
your wool
garments,
confirm that they
can be machine-
washed.
Before loading clothes into the drum,
make sure that all pockets are empty.
Small objects may obstruct the water
discharge motor pump.

CLOTHES BEFORE

Cold
Important!
We recommend you load the machine
to its maximum capacity. That way you
will save water and energy.
Whenever possible, we recommend
you wash different-sized garments on
the same wash cycle, in order to
maximize the washing action. This also
helps to distribute the clothes inside
the drum during the spin cycle, so the
machine works more quietly.
It's useful to put smaller garments in
a wash bag.

2USING DETERGENT
AND ADDITIVES operating the machine and useful tips
environmental notice
Keep in mind that some concentrated
detergents are friendlier to nature and the
environment.
Using more detergent does not help
improve wash results,
and, besides being more expensive, it
adversely affects the environment.
Therefore, we recommend you follow the
detergent manufacturer’s instructions.
aYour washing machine’s detergent
dispenser has three compartments:
washing, softener and pre-washing
compartments.
bIf you’re using liquid detergent, you
should close the door to the washing
compartment. Using two fingers, pick
the blue tab that protrudes from the
bottom of that compartment and pull
outwards completely. Release the flip
top lid so it is in a horizontal position.
This will prevent the liquid detergent from
leaking out. To use powdered detergent,
this lid should be open. Place it on a
vertical position by pressing the top tab
with one finger, and push it backwards
completely.
cBefore starting the wash cycle, pour
liquid or powdered detergent, or additive,
in the appropriate compartment.
The level of liquid must never exceed
the MAX reference mark stamped on
the dispenser wall.
Remember that the amount of detergent to
be used always depends on the following:
Amount of clothes to be washed.
Degree of soiling.
Water hardness (you can obtain information
on the degree of water hardness through the
corresponding local authorities).
We recommend you use a lime-treating
product if water hardness in your area
is high.
