Remove the package and check that the machine is
undamaged.
If you have any doubts, do not use the machine and call on
a qualified technician. Keep all packing parts (plastic bag,
foam rubber, screws etc.) out of the reach of children
since they could be dangerous.
Important: The inside of the washing machine which
consists of a floating unit, is fixed with screws at the back
of the cabinet (Fig.1) during transport. Before starting the
machine remember to release the floating unit by
removing the above screws . To prevent water spray from
entering the machine, remember to close the holes left
open by the screws with the plastic caps provided in the
packet containing the owner's manual. And rescrew the
holes where the iron piece is taken down with the former
two screws.Attention:keep the packing screws and plastic
caps in a safe place for later use. It is important for the
machine to be perfectly level (the angle of inclination on
the work surface must not be more than 2 degrees). For
this reason the machine is fitted with adjustable feet used
for levelling the machine before use (Fig.2). In the case of
flooring with carpeting, remember to check that the
ventilation in the support area is not plugged.

Installation
Fig.2

Connect the plug to a socket provided with efficient
earthing. Or use the spare earthing wire supplied
together with the machine and the earthing terminal
located on the left-upper corner of the back of your
machine (Warning: this appliance must be earthed as a
safety measure according to the law). Make sure that
the voltage and frequency available correspond with
the values stated on the data plate located at the back of
the machine and that the electric system is
dimensioned to withstand the maximum current shown
on the data plate. If the socket the machine is
connected to does not correspond with the plug,
replace the plug with a suitable one and avoid using
adaptors or shunts since they could cause overheating
and burn out.The spare eathing wire is absolutely not
allowed to be connected to water pipe,heating pipe or
other kinds of pipes.

Hose
Connect the inlet hose to a cold water tap with a 3/4
gas threaded opening, and fit the filter and the rubber
gasket supplied with the washing machine. Check that
it is tightly screwed to the tap (Fig. 3).
If the water piping is new or has not been used for a
long time, before making the connection, let the water
run until it is clear and free from impurities.
This step is necessary to ensure that the incoming
water does not clog and possibly damage the machine.
Fig. 3

Installation
Connect the drain hose to a drain duct (with
internal diameter of at least 4 cm.) or place it for
drainage into a sink or a tub, ensuring that there
are no kinks or bends. The free end must be at a
height of between 80 and 100 cm. Should it be
necessary to fix the end of the hose at a height of
less than 80 cm from the floor, the hose must be
fixed in the appropriate hook on the upper part of
the back panel (Fig.4) or use the supplied
support to fix the drain hose.(Fig.5)

Insert stainless steel screen washers into end of
each supply hose and attach that end of supply
hose to your 3/4" water tap spigot.Be sure that
you match up cold water to "C" .

and "Couplings" which enable you to connect
the machine to your sinks faucet.

Using instructions:Your machine
offers the best results when...
In order to get the excellent results that you would
expect from your washing machine, it is important to
load the washer correctly. You should therefore
choose the quantity of each type of fabric that you want
to wash. This table will help:
Colour fast fabrics maximum load 5 kgs/11lbs
Delicate fabrics maximum load 2 kgs/2.5 lbs
Woollens maximum load 1 kg/2.2 lbs
Mixed fabrics maximum load 2.5 kgs/5.5 lbs
The weight
is right
Divide the laundry by fabric and degree of soiling
loaded making the loads as uniform as possible.
Pull the handle out to open the door.
Place the laundry in the machine remembering to
arrange uniformly.
Laundry has
been loaded
correctly

Using instructions:Your machine
offers the best results when...
Aperfect wash depends above all on choosing the
most suitable programme. We would therefore
advise you to divide up your washing into separate
loads of more or less the same types of fabric. This
will make it easier to select the best programme.
Hints on choosing the programme are shown in the
table on pages of this manual.
Once you have selected a programme, just turn
dial
Aclockwise until the chosen programme lines up
with the indicator line on the facia panel.
The correct
programme has
been chosen
Anti-crease When your machine is washing synthetic fabrics or
woollens, the wash cycle stops before the last spin
cycle, with the laundry soaked in water in order to
prevent the formation of creases due to spinning.
Complete the wash cycle with a spin cycle or
simply drain the water from the washing machine
without spinning.
For the spin cycle, turn the selector knob A
clockwise by one step.
To drain, set the selector knob A on drain
programme in both cases, before turning the knob
A remember to switch OFF the ON/OFF button D.

The 3 compartments marked 1, 2, 3 (Fig.9) should be
used as follows:
1 Pre-wash detergent
2 Wash detergent
3 Conditioner, starch, scents
The detergent
has been put
in properly
Remember that it is important to use the right amount of
soap powder or liquid for the type of laundry you are
washing; the amount of detergent you use depends on a
number of factors:
Water hardness; if the water in your area has a
high calcium content, we recommend using a
anti-limestone additive.
degree of dirtiness; increase the amount of
soap powder used in the case of heavily soiled
laundry.
laundry load; the smaller the load the less soap
powder you will need to use.

The following table will guide you:
When using concentrated detergents, remember to keep to
the manufacturer's instructions using only the measuring
cups supplied with the packet.
Use more detergent in the case of very hard water ( more than
21.F), but remember to maintain the proportion between the
prewash and wash cycles.
Liquid detergent
The liquid detergents currently available on the market may
be used with the washing machine. Use compartment 2 for
very dense liquid detergents. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions when using liquid detergents sold with the ball
detergent dispenser. Place the ball dispenser in the tub of
washing machine together with the laundry.
The prewash cycle may not be used with liquid detergents.
Note "3"
For soft and fluffy laundry always a softener in the final rinsing
cycle.
Never place bleach in the other compartments.

Maintenance: five simple
precautions for this machine
Your machine is designed to last without complicated
maintenance.
All the same, we would ask you to take care of a few small
matters. If you follow these four simple rules, we are sure
that the washing machine will stay as your faithful friend and
helper for a long, long time.
1. Ensure that your machine was installed according to the
installation manual that comes with this booklet.
2. Avoid at all costs using solvents either to clean the
machine, or to do the wash. when clean the machine, cut
off the power.
3. Clean the detergent dispenser every so often. This is very
simple and should be done with water. Your machine has
an extractable dispenser to make it even easier. Just pull
it upwards and out.
4. If it is long time no use, you'd better cut off the power,
switch off the tap, and open the door to avoid unpleasant
smell.
5. Your washer is equipped with a self-cleaning pump. It is
therefore not necessary to carry out cleaning and
maintenance operations.
Open the cover of the filter, loosen the knob in counter-
clockwise rotation, then take out the filter and clean it with
water, every month.(see Fig.8)
Note: Reassembly the filter carefully after cleaning,
ensuring it is fit perfectly and no water can come out.

Check that:
the tap is open and properly connected to the inlet
pipe;
