safety precautions
For your own safety, before us-
ing the washer carefully check
the outlet and the ground con-
nection.
Connect the power plug into an
outlet that supplies the specified
voltage. Make sure the outlet is
grounded. The outlet's ground
terminal must have reliable
ground connection. If possible,
use a protector against electrical
leakage.
Make sure that the power outlet
is located so that it can be easily
reached. Unplug the unit when
there is a power supply failure or
if the machine will be moved,
cleaned, or if you are not using
it.
If the power supply cord is dam-
aged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or service agent or
by qualified personnel in order
to avoid hazards.
To prevent abnor-
mal vibration dur-
ing the spin cycle,
do not wash
clothes such as
raincoats
Do not connect
the washer to
an outlet that
feed other ap-
pliances.
If you install the washer on a car-
peted floor, be sure that all ven-
tilation holes are unobstructed
by the carpet.
Do not use wa-
ter exceeding
50 °C.
Do not install the washer in a
damp area, for example in a
bathroom. Never clean the
washer with water or put damp
clothes on the control panel.

6
Before washing a load, make
sure the water tap is open and
the washer is correctly connected
to the water inlet.
To protect your clothes and the
washer, remove coins, buttons,
sand, pins, and other materials
that may be inside the clothes
pockets before washing.
Do not leave the machine unat-
tended near children.
Do not place hot or heavy items
(such as a pan of hot water) on
top of the washer.
Do not reach into a machine in
operation. It is dangerous even
though the spin rotation is slow.
Be specially careful to keep chil-
dren away from the machine.
Do not disassemble, repair or
modify the machine yourself.
Do not wash items that are
dampened or soiled with volatile
substances, such as paint, sol-
vents or gasoline.
Keep the machine away from di-
rect sunlight and heat sources
(such as a radiators or room
heaters).

The washer must be installed and adjusted in accordance with the
instructions contained in this manual. It is very important for your
safety that you have the correct operating conditions for the ma-
chine.
installation and setup
how to install the lint filter
Place the bottom portion of the filter inside the overflow filter, then
push in the top portion.
After installation, make sure that the lint filter is correctly placed,
otherwise it could fall off and will not work when the washer is in
use.
drain hose
When the drain hose is properly installed, the machine will drain
with no problems.
•The height of the drain hose must be less than 10 cm, otherwise it
is likely that the machine will not drain completely.
•Do not stand on or bend the drain hose.

8
•If the drain hose is too long, cut it to the correct length. For best
results, cut the drain hose with an angle at the front end.
•If a longer drain hose is needed, please buy a new one. The inside
diameter of the hose must not be less than 40 mm, and the length
must not exceed 1,5 m
If the new drain hose is too long, cut it at point A or point B.

9
changing the drain hose direction
1. The following illustration shows the factory position of the drain
hose.
2. Place a soft item on the floor. Gently tilt the machine with the
front surface facing the floor. Remove the drain hose from the
cabinet. Remove the hose from its slot.
3. Install drain hose into the slot on the side of the spin tub, in the
order of 1 to 3, towards the side of the spin tub.
4. Using your hands, install the drain hose into the slot. Make sure
you do not damage the hose when locking the fixing clamp.
Note: Extend the drain hose from the side of the spin tub.

10
install the water inlet hose and select the water
level
1. Insert the fill hose in the water inlet port located in the control
panel (to disassemble the water inlet pipe, simply press the con-
trol panel as shown in the figure and pull outward).
2. Select the level of water depending on the size of the load. Set
the water level by moving the lever to the desired setting.
1. Connect the water inlet hose.
2. Make sure that the washer is properly grounded. Plug the power
cord into the outlet. Do not connect the ground terminal to gas
or water pipes.
preparation before washing
3. Lower the drain hose.
4. An inclined or uneven floor may cause abnormal noise or a poor
performance. Make sure that the washer is horizontally leveled.
pay attention to the following before using the
washer
•Check clothes looking for special washing instructions.
•Empty pockets. Remove coins, sand, pins, etc.
•Tie long ties, button up clothes and close zippers.

11
•Make sure all clothes can be machine washed.
•Separate dark color clothes which may stain light color clothes.
•Soak garments that do not absorb water easily.
•For heavily soiled clothes, first remove mud or dirt. For best re-
sults, apply detergent directly on stains.
•Turn inside out garments that have a tendency to generate or col-
lect lint.
•Do not wash items that have been in contact with chemicals.
tips and notes
•The capacity of the machine indicates the maximum weight of dry
clothes that the machine can wash or spin at once. Each load must
weigh less than the capacity indicated for the machine.
•The thickness, size and fabric of garments affect the actual wash-
ing capacity. Please wash only a load that will have enough room
to turn and spin inside the tub.
•To avoid splashing water, do not use the highest water level to
wash a small load.
•Do not use detergents that generate high suds.
•Do not overload the washer.
•When the propeller is operating, the buttons from clothes may
cause noise. To obtain a quiet operation, wash garments that have
buttons with clothes that do not have buttons.

bleach and detergent
using bleach
1. Fill the tub with water to the desired level. In a separate con-
tainer, dilute bleach in water.
2. Slowly pour the diluted solution in the wash tub.
•Avoid using bleach with clothes having patterns and colors, as
they will discolor or stain.
•Do not let the bleach to have direct contact with the clothes.
Read the instructions of the bleach manufacturer to learn more
about the use and amount to be used.
•If you are using powdered bleach, it is recommended to dissolve
it in water before using it.

troubleshooting
if the residual water is frozen
Prevent the water to freeze by draining all the water after each use.
After completing the drain, place the DRAIN selector in the off posi-
tion. If you leave it in the drain position, it will be difficult for the
frozen water to melt down.
If the water freezes, pour warm water (not exceeding 50 °C) in the
wash tub so that the frozen section is completely wet. Then, gently
turn the propeller by hand. Make sure that the drain will operate
normally before the next use.
