Warnings s
ATTENTION :
Read this booklet carefully as it contains important instructions for a safe installation, use
and maintenance.
Important instructions to be kept for future reference.
The following basic precautions should always be followed when using electrical
appliances:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
The Appliance
2. This appliance must be used only for the purpose it was expressly designed; any use
NOT complying with the instructions contained in the manual is considered
inappropriate and dangerous. The manufacturer is NOT responsible for possible
damages caused by the inappropriate and/or unreasonable use.
3. The installation/assembly of the appliance will be made in accordance with the
indications of the manufacturer. A wrong procedure may cause damages to persons,
animals or objects, for which the manufacturer cannot be considered responsible.
4. Before use, check the integrity of the appliance and power cable. DO NOT operate the
appliance when its housing is damaged. In case you are not sure, contact a qualified
person. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
service agent or a qualified technician in order to avoid a shock hazard.
5. Before powering the appliance make sure the rating (voltage and frequency)
corresponding to the grid and the socket is suitable for the plug of the appliance, and
that the wall socket is properly grounded. This appliance is fitted with an earth wire for
extra safety.
6. Avoid the use of adapters and/or extension cables; if their use is absolutely necessary,
use only materials in compliance with the current safety regulations and according to
the electrical parameters of the adapters.
7. The appliance must NOT be switched on using external timers and/or other remote
control appliances which are not specified in this manual.

8. Only use original components & accessories provided by the manufacturer. Any
non-original components & accessories NOT recommended by the manufacturer may
cause injuries to persons or damage to the appliance. Doing so will void the warranty
and may cause serious injury.
9. The packing materials (plastic bags, expanded polystyrene, etc.) must be kept out of
the reach of children or disabled persons since they represent potential sources of
danger.
Location
10. This appliance is NOT suitable to be used or stored near heat sources (open flame,
ovens, heaters, stoves, etc.) and/or in an explosive environment (in the presence of
flammable substances such as gas, vapour, mist or dust, in atmospheric conditions
when, after ignition, the combustion is spread in the air). Items containing these
substances should never be placed in the appliance, and never be used to clean the
appliance in order to avert the risk of fire or explosion.
11. The appliance should NOT be placed on a surface, or in the vicinity of, objects which
can be damaged by heat, such as carpets or plastics. DO NOT locate multiple portable
socket outlets or power supplies at the bottom or rear of the appliance.
12. DO NOT touch the outside and bottom of the appliance while it is operating to prevent
scalding. The bottom of the appliance becomes hot as the appliance operates.
13. Place the appliance at a proper distance from objects or surrounding walls making sure
that its functioning will not cause accidental damages. There should be at least 10 cm
of free space from the back, left & right sides and at least 30 cm from the top of the
appliance to allow adequate air circulation to cool the compressor. Never put things on
top of the appliance.
14. Avoid placing the power cable on abrasive or sharp surfaces or in positions where it
can be damaged easily. Avoid placing heavy objects on the cable. The cable must NOT
be placed under carpets, or covered with throw rugs, runners or similar. Arrange the
cable away from the high traffic area, and where it will NOT be tripped over. DO NOT
pull or carry the appliance by the cable.
15. DO NOT use or store the appliance outdoors. Store and use the appliance only indoors,
or in any case, protected from weathering such as rain, direct radiation of the sun and
dust.

Operation
16. Remove loose items like coins, sweets, wrappers, tissue, paper, clumps of hair or fabric,
etc. which may clog the mechanism inside the Wash Tub & Spin Tub and cause the
motor to overheat and fail. If this happens, please switch the appliance off, unplug the
power cable from the electric mains and remove the items.
17. If you are using the appliance for the first time, you should:
a. Clean the inside of the appliance with water.
b. Ensure that the external parts of the appliance are completely dry before use and
that the appliance is standing at an upright position. Damage to the appliance may
occur if it is placed on an incline or decline.
c. Switch off the appliance and unplug the socket from the electric mains before lifting
up the Cover to put in or remove clothes from the appliance, cleaning or performing
any maintenance operation. Make sure that the appliance has cooled down before
performing any maintenance work.
d. Make sure to remove any label or protective sheet which may prevent its proper
functioning.

the Spin Timer Knob to “0”;
use electrical devices (e.g. hairdryers, heaters, radiators, fans, etc.) near the
appliance while the Cover is open, and the Wash Tub & Spin Tub containing water
or damp clothes are exposed. Electrical devices may accidentally fall into the
appliance and cause an electric shock to persons or animals nearby;
place or use any electrical appliances (e.g. electric blankets, etc.) inside the
appliance unless recommended by the manufacturer;
put heavy or hot objects on the appliance to prevent the plastic materials of the
appliance from deforming;
use hot water above 55C in the Wash Tub or Spin Tub to prevent the plastic
materials of the appliance from deforming;
store or use the appliance in a bathroom where water can enter the internal
machinery or outdoors unsheltered from the rain;
touch the clothes placed inside the Wash Tub or Spin Tub before the tubs have
completely stopped spinning to prevent injury to your body or damage to the

appliance;
put clothes which have been cleaned by volatile organic solvents like petrol,
kerosene, thinner, ethers, alcohols, vinegar, etc. inside the Wash Tub or Spin Tub;
use the appliance for more than 45 minutes without turning it off for at least 15

7. (Remember to remove loose items like coins, sweets, wrappers, tissue, paper, etc.
which may be found in shirt or trouser pockets prior to putting the clothes into the ○
6
Wash Tub. To prevent damage to the tub, tie up loose ends of skirts, shawls, overalls,
aprons, etc. and pull up all zippers of jeans, jackets, skirts, pants, etc. prior to putting
them into the tub. Heavily soiled clothes may require immersing in detergent and
leaving to soak in a pail prior to washing.)
Lift up the ○
1 Cover and put the clothes into the ○ 6 Wash Tub. As clothes begin to fill
the tub, the water level may decrease. Put in more water if necessary, the amount of
which would commensurate with the amount of clothes to be washed. Ensure that the

8. Turn the ○
3 Wash Timer Knob to select the duration of washing (up to 15 minutes)
based on the type and amount of clothes to be washed. The duration of washing is
affected by the softness or hardness of water of that particular region.
Hard water contains a high concentration of minerals - typically calcium,
magnesium, manganese and iron - in water. The greater the concentrations of
these minerals, the harder the water. Soft water contains a lower concentration of
these minerals, and instead contains some sodium and potassium salts.
Hard water hinders the laundry process by preventing water from mixing with
detergent. As a result, soap is unable to lather effectively and soap scum is left
behind on your clothes as a streaky, chalky substance. Not only does this
residue look unsightly, it can also cause clothes to feel stiff and unclean, all while
attracting and holding more dirt than before. This same mineral coating can
reduce the absorption of bath towels and cause skin irritation in the form of
chafing and dryness, especially for those who suffer from sensitive skin or other
skin conditions. Additionally, hard water can cause the premature fading of dark
fabrics, leave reddish brown streaks on clothing due to the presence of iron and,
in the case of very hard water or mineral build up, even weaken and tear fabrics
made from natural fibres, leading to costly clothes repairs or replacements. Hard
water requires slightly longer wash duration compared to soft water. In addition, it
might be helpful to substitute powdered (solid) detergent with liquid detergent if
your tap water is hard.
