LEVELLING THE WASHING MACHINE

After having selected the most suitable location for the appliance, make sure it is

level by regulating the adjustable feet (Fig. 6).

Pay particular attention to the positioning and levelling of the washing machine and

make sure that the lock nuts are tight.

If the appliance is not levelled correctly, it will be unstable and

noisy and may cause damage.

If the washing machine is installed on a carpeted ﬂoor, leave sufﬁcient space between

the appliance and the ﬂoor to guarantee the free circulation of air.

It is not advisable to install the appliance in rooms where the temperature could fall

below 0°C.

In the under-worktop versions, screw in the feet until the spring is fully

compressed, thus allowing the appliance to be installed under the worktop

(Fig. 6B).

For transport reasons, the washing machine’s oscillating group

is locked in place by 4 spacers and screws. Before using the ma-

chine, remove the spacers and locking screws. Keep the screws

and spacers for future use.

Close off the holes using the plugs supplied. The plugs can be

found in the bag containing the documents.

For transport reasons, the washing machine’s oscillating group

is locked in place by 4 spacers and screws. Before using the

machine, remove the locking screws with a suitable tool.

Insert a screwdriver in the holes and lever out the 4 plastic spacers

as shown in the ﬁgure.

INSTALLING THE WASHING MACHINE

INSTALLING THE WASHING MACHINE

CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY

The mains water pressure must be between 0.05 and 1.00 Mpa

(0.5 - 10 bar.)

▼Before connecting the washing machine, open the valve and allow a certain

quantity of water to ﬂow out in order to clean the pipes of any sand or rust.

This operation is particularly important in the case where the washing machine

has been left standing for a long time or when connecting to a new water supply

system.

▼The ﬁll hose must be connected to the mains supply using a ¾” threaded con-

nection.

N.B. On electronic washing machines ﬁtted with a dual solenoid

valve (hot and cold water), connect the red hose to the hot water

supply valve and the other hose to the cold water supply valve.

If a hot water supply is not available, both hoses must be connected to the

cold supply using the ﬁtting supplied (see ﬁg. 8)

▼Connect the ﬁll hose (ﬁg. 9).

N.B. Washing machines and condensation type washer/driers

must be connected to the mains water supply using the new hoses

provided with the appliance. The old hoses must not be re-used.

▼During the wash, the water supply valve must be fully open.

▼The drain hose must be positioned at a height of between 60 cm and 90 cm

(ﬁg. 10).

▼If the water is drained directly into the drainage system, the free end of the

drain hose must be inserted in a pipe of internal diameter not les than 40 mm.

▼The drain hose connection to the drainage system must not be hermetically

sealed, as this would cause a build up of air in the siphon and allow water to

leak out.

▼If the wash water is drained into a washbasin, sink or other similar system, the

free end of the hose must be reinforced at the bend using the bracket supplied

with the washing machine. Place the hose over the edge of the washbasin and

anchor the bracket in such as manner that prevents the hose from falling (ﬁg.

11).The washbasin outlet must be clean and must allow the water to ﬂow freely.

USING THE WASHING MACHINE

RECOMMENDATIONS PRIOR TO USE

Warning: Before carrying out the ﬁrst wash, allow the washing

machine to effect a short wash cycle without any washing.

This will allow the operation of the washing machine to be checked

and will clean the drum.

Before each wash make sure that:

▼the water connections are correct, the drain hose is properly positioned (see

connecting to the water supply) and that the water supply 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.

12

13

Make sure that the voltage indicated on the identiﬁcation plate

attached to the inside of the ﬁlter door corresponds to that of the

mains supply (ﬁg. 12).

All cut-outs, electric wiring and mains sockets must have a rating such that

enables them to support the maximum load indicated on the identiﬁcation plate.

Once the appliance has been installed, it must be connected to the mains supply

through a single-pole switch.

The mains supply to which the appliance is connected must be ﬁtted with an

earthing system. If this is not the case, the manufacturer will not be held liable

for any incidents that may occur (ﬁg. 13).

If the mains socket to which the appliance is connected is faulty or unsuitable,

it must be replaced by a qualiﬁed electrician.

The washing machine must not be connected to the mains supply using indirect

methods such as extension leads or multiple adapters.

During maintenance work, the washing machine must be disconnected from

the mains electricity supply.

Do not insert or remove the plug from the mains socket with wet hands.

If the power supply cable is damaged in any way, contact the appropriate spe-

cialised service centre.

The plug used to connect the machine to the power supply must never be ﬁxed

behind the machine, but must be in a position easily accessible in an emergency.

USING THE WASHING MACHINE

USE OF DETERGENTS

The washing machine is ﬁtted with a three-compartment detergent drawer

compartment for pre-wash or soak soap powder (1)

compartment for normal wash soap powder (2)

softener compartment (3)

Use a low-suds detergent and softener (if required) recommended for automatic

washing machines. Follow the dosage instructions written on the packet.

N.B. Too much detergent can produce excessive suds and may

result in a poor wash.

Too little detergent will produce an unsatisfactory wash.

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.

N.B. When using a liquid detergent (recommended for pro-

grammes without pre-wash) proceed as follows:remove the bafﬂe

from its housing at the front of compartment 2 and insert it in the

guides near the centre of the same compartment.

▼close the detergent drawer before starting the wash.

Warning! Do not attempt to remove the detergent drawer while

the washing machine is in operation, as this will cause water to

ﬂow out.

USING THE WASHING MACHINE

Stains exist that cannot be removed by machine washing alone. Before trying to remove any type of

stain by hand, ﬁrst try the removal procedure on a small area of hidden fabric. Start from the edge of

the stain and working inwards, this will prevent a dark ring from forming around the site of the stain. A

few methods to adopt for removing stains are reported below.

▼W

AX: Scrape the wax using a rounded point

in order not to damage the fabric. Then, with

the fabric placed between two pieces of ab-

sorbent paper, run a hot iron over the stain.

▼B

ALL POINT PENS AND FELT-TIP PENS: clean using

a soft cloth soaked in ethyl alcohol.Take care

not to spread the stain.

▼D

AMP AND MOULD: if the fabric supports the

use of bleach, carry out a wash cycle adding

bleach. Otherwise, soak the soiled part in

hydrogen peroxide (10 volumes) and leave

for 10 to 15 minutes.

▼L

IGHT SCORCH MARKS LEFT BY IRONING: follow the

instructions for mould and damp.

▼R

UST: use products specially designed for rust

stains, following the manufacturer’s instruc-

tions written on the packet.

▼C

HEWING GUM: rub ice over the fabric, scrape

away as much chewing gum as possible

and then rub with a piece of cotton soaked

in acetone.

INTERNATIONAL CLOTHING CARE SYMBOLS

Before placing the clothes in the washing machine and selecting the wash programme, examine the

symbols on the manufacturer’s label. The table reported below will provide a useful guide to reading

the symbols.

▼PAINT: do not allow the paint to dry. Rub the

area with the solvent recommended by the

paint manufacturer (e.g.water, turps, trichlo-

roethylene), soap and then rinse.

▼L

IPSTICK: stains on cotton or wool can be elimi-

nated using a cloth soaked in ether. Stains

on silk require the use of trichloroethylene.

▼N

AIL VARNISH: place a sheet of absorbent

paper on the stained material, then dampen

the back of the fabric with acetone, frequently

changing the absorbent paper placed over

the stain. Continue in this manner until the

stain has disappeared.

▼T

AR OR DIRT: spread a little fresh butter over

the stain, allow to stand and then wash with

oil of turpentine.

▼G

RASS: delicately soap the stain, use diluted

bleach. Good results can be obtained on

woollen fabrics using 90% alcohol.

▼B

LOOD: put into soak in cold water with added

salt, then wash with washing soap.

USE OF THE WASHING MACHINE

WASHING CYCLE:

“EASY LOGIC”TECHNOLOGY

The electronic washing machine is equipped with an“EASY LOGIC”system that recognises the

quantity of clothes put in,consequently adjusting the quantity of water to be used and reducing

the washing time proportionally.The result is a saving in water, time and energy. In the case in

which the quantity of clothes to be washed is less than the maximum recommended load (see

technical speciﬁcations table), the quantity of water used for the wash will be reduced by 2

litres for each kg less of laundry. In the case of washes that are half load or less, the machine

will automatically perform one rinse less than programmed. N.B. The “EASY LOGIC” function

only works on the cotton programs.
