2. FUNCTIONING:
2.1. PRODUCT FEATURES AND TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONS:
DRUM ASSEMBLY:
The drum assembly is held up by three springs, it is
5°-inclined to make the machine more ergonomic
and to facilitate the introduction of clothes into the
drum, whose maximum capacity is 7,5 Kg.
REMARK: the right position of the springs is
important to maintain a correct inclination.
DISPENSER:
It is like a traditional dispenser, with the same prin-
ciples of functioning. It is placed inside the machine,
behind the door; you can reach it by opening the
door.
Some models are equipped with Push-Push lock.
OKO SYSTEM:
The Oko ball is placed inside the tube, connecting
the drum to the drain pump.
The drum is provided with a rubber ring, which ab-
sorbs the noises produced by the contact of the Oko
ball with the drum.

PRESSURE SWITCH:
The connection of the pressure switch tube is placed
in the lower part of the drum, but not on the level
with the pump tube, as in other washing machines.
Its housing is obtained by die-casting and it is the
final part of an air trap, which determines the right
functioning of the washing machine.
HOWTO OPENTHE DOOR, BLOCKED
IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY:
There are special circumstances which cause the
blockage of the door, for example a prolonged inter-
ruption of power supply, any blockage of the pump,
impossibility to open the door; the clothes inside the
machine can be recovered after having unlocked the
door, even if there is water in the tank. This proce-
dure must be performed, paying attention to the fol-
lowing safety instructions:
1. Switch off the washing machine
2. For further safety reason, unplug the washing
machine (remember that water could drop on the
floor).
3. Using a flat-type screw driver, remove the plinth
of the machine.
4. Pull the emergency cord at the bottom on the left
to unlock and open the door.
DOOR:
The door of this washing machine is a single as-
sembly composed by the lock, the hinges, the dis-
play board cable, the door, the inner door.

WATER FILLING:
Water filling can occur in two phases: the first is common to all the programs, the filling is controlled by the
pressure switch; the second phase, performed by some programs only, water filling changes according to
the wash cycle of the washing machine setting.
To know if a program performs a second water filling, look at the wash diagrams in the appendixes (from
page 34 to page 42).
For example, in the diagram below (standard wash cycle at 40°), after a first water filling controlled by the
pressure switch, the machine performs a second water filling (1 litre + 1 litre of water) of two litres of water.
