DESCRIPTION OFTHE MACHINE
The washing machine is a domestic appliance capable of washing any type of fabric at any time.
* The machine has been constructed in steel panels which have been treated and painted to guarantees
that its aesthetic qualities remain unaltered over time.
* The motor and all moving parts have been designed and manufactured to guarantee the minimum
possible noise levels
* The large well-mounted stainless steel drum will ensure a better quality wash and help to prolong
the life of your washing
* The easy to use control panel will satisfy all your washing and drying needs (see control panel and
programme table).
* The wide door makes loading and unloading your washing much easier.
* The very high stability of the machine is the result of extensive research by our technicians on the
equilibrium of masses in movement.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Place the machine near to the connection points and ensure that it is
level.
To do this, adjust the feet by screwing or unscrewing them as required.
When the machine is level, tighten the lock nuts on the feet using a
spanner.
Allow a good quantity of water to flow out of the
system until it is clear and free of impurities,
especially if the plant is new or has not been used
for some time.Two separate hoses to two faucets;
one hot and one cold.
Connect the hose from the hot water tap to the valve
with red filter and the hose from the cold water tap
to the other valve. Check that the other end of the
pipe is tightened properly.
DRAIN REQUIREMENTS
Position the drain hose between a minimum of 60
cm and a maximum 90 cm from floor level.
N.B.To prevent siphoning, do not make the machine
drain hose connection air tight.
If the water system is not provided with a drain, use
the bracket supplied to position the drain pipe over
a washbasin then tie it to a tap.
Check that the power supply and socket are correctly sized for the maximum
load demand of your machine. The power supply voltage is indicated on the
rating plate inside the door of the washing machine.
The domestic power supply must be equipped with an earth. If this requirement
is not complied with, the manufacturer will not be held responsible for any
damage or injury caused.

* Separate the washing according to type of fabric.
* Wash coloured and white articles separately.
* Check the clothing care labels affixed to the articles and set the appropriate programme and temperature.
* In order to obtain good results from the wash, distribute the washing evenly inside the machine
alternating small items with larger ones.
* In order not to waste water, energy and detergent, it is advisable to load the machine to its maximum
recommended capacity.
* Do not use the pre-wash unless it is strictly necessary.This will reduce water, energy consumption
and time by an average of 10%.
* Try to avoid overloading the machine with articles in towelling only.
* Carefully check that there are no objects left in the pockets of the articles to wash as these may block
the drain pump.
Stains exist that cannot be removed by machine washing alone.
The following paragraphs describe how to pre-treat stained fabrics before loading them in the machine.
This will help prevent an unsuccessful wash and the formation of stain rings.
* Wax: Scratch away as much of the wax as possible using a blunt knife, then iron with a piece of silk
paper between the iron itself and the stained item.
* Ball-point and felt-tip pens: Dab the stain with a cloth damped with 90°colourless alcohol.Take care
not to increase the stain.
* Ironing marks: If the fabric is discoloured, follow the same procedure described for “damp and mould”
stains.
* Rust: Use a rust remover, carefully following the manufacturer’s instructions.
* Chewing gum: Dilute it with acetone and remove using a clean cloth.
* Paint: Do not allow the paint to dry. Treat it immediately with the solvent indicated on the paint
container (water,Turps, trichloroethylene), soap it and rinse.
* Lipstick: Dab it with ether if the stain is on wool or cotton or use trichloroethylene if on silk.
* Nail varnish: Place the stained part of the item over a sheet of absorbent paper and then dampen the
reverse side of the item with acetone, frequently changing the absorbent paper under the stain. Repeat
the procedure until the stain has disappeared.
* Metal stain: Apply lemon juice until the stain has disappeared or greatly reduced in intensity.
* Grass: Soap it delicately and treat with diluted bleach.
For woollen items, 90°alcohol can produce good results.

Learn to recognise the symbols on the clothing care labels to obtain a better wash and ensure that the articles
have a longer life.
CLOTHING CARE LABELS
HOW CAN I WASH ALMOST ANYTHING?
Tennis shoes. Tennis shoes or plimsolls can be machine washed. Just remove any mud from them before
starting the wash cycle.
Net curtains should be washed alone.They should first be folded, to stop them creasing excessively, and then
placed in a net bag or pillowcase.
Quilted wind-cheaters can be machine washed. In this case limit the maximum machine load to just over 50%.
It is also advisable to carry out an extra rinse at the end of the wash cycle.
Printed T-shirts and shirts will last longer if washed inside out.

- Select the required programme and temperature according to
the programme table.
N.B. When using a liquid detergent
(recommended for programmes without pre-
wash), use the special container (if provided)
and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Remember to remove the liquid detergent
container when using soap powder.
BEFORE WASHING Before each wash ensure that:
- the water connections are correct, the drain
hose is properly positioned (see water
connection) and that the feed valve is open
- with dry hands, insert the plug in the mains socket.
- sort the wash into types of fabric (refer to clothing
care symbols).
-
check that there are no objects left in any of the
pockets of the items to wash, as these may damage
the washing, the appliance or the filter.
- open the door
- load the washing and close the door.
N.B. When adding detergent to the dispenser,
remember to avoid any spillage into the softener
compartment, in that this would create a soapy
rinse and stain the fabrics white. Vice versa, if
softener is added to the detergent compartment,
the quality of the wash will be compromised.
- add low-suds detergent and softener (if required)
recommended for automatic washing machines.
Follow the dosage instructions written on the packet.
N.B. Excessive softener can damage the washing.
- close the detergent dispenser drawer.
Warning! do not attempt to remove the detergent
drawer while the appliance is operating, as this will
cause water to flow out.

CLEANINGTHE PUMP FILTER
This operation should be carried out at least once a month. When cleaning the filter, make sure that there is no
water left in the drum.
The operation is carried out by placing a shallow container or rag under the filter door to catch any water that
may spill out. Remove the filter from its housing by turning it anticlockwise half a turn and then pulling outwards.
The filter is cleaned by holding it under running water and ensuring that all the deposits are removed.
Then replace the filter in its housing, turning it clockwise. Make sure that it is seated properly and locked in its
housing.
USER-MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
The washing machine is a domestic appliance that does not need any special maintenance
in that it has been designed and built to last. Nevertheless, some precautions do need
to be taken (see chapter on warnings).
When carrying our the following operations, make sure that the plug has been removed
from the mains socket and that the water feed valve is closed.
PERIODIC CLEANING OFTHE DRAWER
The machine must not be cleaned with solvents, but merely using a damp and slightly soapy cloth.
The drawer should be cleaned whenever residual detergent starts to build up.
To extract the drawer, simply pull it from its housing and then clean it under running water.

SM891 10
