It is not recommended that the machine be installed in locations where the tempera-
ture is liable to drop below freezing.
CONNECTION TO THE WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM
▼Themainswaterpressure must be between 0.05
and 1.00 MPa (0.5 - 10 bar.)
▼Before connecting the water fill hose, open the
valve and allow a quantity of water to flow. This
will censure that the supply pipes are free from
impurities, such as sand or rust (this operation is
veryimportantwhenthewashingmachineisbeing
connected toa new supplysystemorifthesystem
has not been used for a long period of time).
▼Connectthewater fill hose toa3/4 threaded cold
water outlet.
▼Place the filter washer supplied between the hose and the valve and hand tighten
the connection as much as possible (fig. 7-8).
▼Connect water feed hose (fig. 9).
N.B.: Use the new pipe supplied with the machine and do not re-use the old one.
▼The water supply tap must be fully open when washing.
▼The water drain hose must be placed at least 60 cm and not more than 90 cm
from the floor (fig. 10).
▼If the drain hose is connected to a fixed drainage system, the free end must
be inserted in a pipe of minimum internal diameter 40 mm.
▼The drain hose water connection to the drainage system must not be hermetically
sealed, as this would cause air to accumulate and the water to siphon out.
▼If the waste water is to be discharged into a sink or washbasin, insert the
hose in the special bracket supplied and hook it over the edge of the sink or
washbasin. Then tie the hose and bracket to a tap or similar (fig. 11). To avoid
overflowing, the sink drain must be clear of obstructions and must be able to
empty quickly.

ADVICE BEFORE USING
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 connections are tight, the drain hose is positioned correctly
(see connection to the water supply) and the supply tap is open. (fig. 14).
▼make sure that your hands are dry, then insert the plug into the power sock-
et.
▼divide the washing according to fabric type (check the labels on the clothes).
▼check that the clothes to be washed have nothing in their pockets that might
damage the washing, the washing machine or the filter

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 auto-
matic 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 de-
tergent 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.
N.B. When using a liquid detergent (recommended for programs without
pre-wash) proceed as follows: remove the baffle from its housing at the
front of compartment 2 and insert it in the guides near the centre of the
same compartment.
▼close the detergent drawer before starting the wash.
Attention! Never remove the detergent drawer when the machine is run-
ning, as water may come out of it.

USING THE MACHINE
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 blunt point in
order not to damage the fabric. Then, with the
fabric placed between two pieces of absorb-
ent paper, run a hot iron over the stain.
▼B
ALL-POINT PENS AND FELT-TIP PENS:clean using
a soft cloth soaked in ethyl alcohol. Take care
not to spread the mark.
▼D
AMP AND MOULD:if the fabric supports the
use of bleach, perform a wash cycle adding
bleach. Other-wise, soak the soiled part in
hydrogen peroxide (10 volumes) and leave
for 10 to 15 minutes.
▼L
IGHT SCORCH MARKS CAUSED BY IRONING: follow
the instructions for mould and damp.
▼RUST:use products specially designed for rust
stains, following the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions written on the packet.
▼C
HEWING GUM:rub ice over the mark, scrape
away as much as possible and then rub with a
cotton cloth soaked in acetone (alternatively,
use nail varnish remover).
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.
▼PAINT: do not allow the paint to dry. Rub the
area with the solvent recommended by the
paint manufacturer (e.g.water, turps, trichlo-
roethylene), apply soap and then rinse.
▼L
IPSTICK:stains on cotton or wool can be
eliminated using a cloth soaked in ether.
Stains on silk require the use of trichloroeth-
ylene.
▼N
AIL VARNISH:place a sheet of absorbent paper
on the stained material, then dampen the back
of the fabric with acetone, frequently changing
the paper placed over the stain. Continue like
this until the stain has disappeared.
▼T
AR OR DIRT: spread some fresh butter over
the stain, allow to stand and then wash with
oil of turpentine.
▼G
RASS:delicately soap the stain, use diluted
bleach. Good results can be obtained on
woollen fabrics using 90% alcohol.
▼B
LOOD:put into soak in cold water with added
salt, then wash with washing soap.

“EASY LOGIC”TECHNOLOGY
The electronic washing machine is fitted with an “EASY LOGIC” system that automatically
recognises the quantity of washing loaded. The machine can thus regulate the amount of
water to use for the wash and proportion the wash time accordingly, thus saving water, time
and energy. In the case where the amount of washing is less than the maximum recom-
mended load (see technical characteristics table), the quantity of water used for the wash
will be reduced by 2 litres for each kg less of washing. In the case of a half-load or less,
the machine will automatically carry out one rinse less than programmed. N.B. The “EASY
LOGIC” function is only active for cotton programmes.
