INSTALLATION
Warning:
Installation must be carried out by qualified personnel and according to the manufacturer's instructions. Incorrect
installation may cause damage or injury to persons.
The machine can be installed anywhere, providing that the ambient temperature is not les than 3°C and that the
cables and pipes at the rear of the machine are not crushed.
Unpacking:
Transport the machine to near its installation place and remove the external packing (Fig.1). If the integrity of the
machine is in doubt, do not use it. Seek advice from qualified personnel.
During transport, the machin's rocker group is locked in place by 4 plastic spacers with screws. Before starting
up the machine, loosen the screws with a suitable key and remove the screws and the plastic spacers
(Fig. 2). Put the screws and spacers aside for use in case of future transport.
N.B. If the plastic spacers fall into the machine, open the side panel by loosening the three screews indicated with
V in figure 2, remove the spacers and replace the panel.
*Lift the machine and remove the base (Fig.3A).
*Tilt the machine and extract the two inner polystyrene corner elements( if foreseen) by pulling the two cardboard
tabs E-F. Extract tab E first, then tab F (Fig.3B).
Setting in place:
Move the machine with care until it is close to the connection points.
WHEN REQUIRED, to facilitate movement use the transporter wheel. To activate this, move the lever on the bottom
left hand side to the opposite side. Once the machine has been moved, return the lever to its original position (Fig.
4).
To enable the machine to operate correctly it must be set on a level.
This can be done by adjusting the screw feet (Fig. 5) on the base of the unit (2 feet for machines with rear wheels,
4 feet for machines with no wheels).
Once the machine has been set level, lock the screw feet by tightening the nut on the base of the machine using a
spanner.
Electrical connection:
Check that the voltage written on the technical data plate on the inside of the door filter corresponds to the mains
supply voltage. The counter, pressure relief valve, supply lines and power connection have all been designed for
the maximum load requested (Fig.6).
insert the plug in the socket, ensuring that it is fitted with an earth (Fig.7).
If the electrical socket in which the plug of the machine is inserted is unsuitable, have the socket replaced by qualified
personnel. It is good practice to avoid the use of adapters, extension leads and multiple sockets.
Water connection:
Turn on the tap and allow a good quantity of water to flow until it is clear and free from impurities. This procedure
is especially applicable in the case of new water systems or those that have remained unused for some time. Connect
the water supply hose to the tap, inserting the filter provided, and hand tighten (Fig.8).
Check that the other end of the hose is tight on the inlet (Fig.9).
Position the discharge hose at a minimum height of 60 cm, though not more than 90 cm, from the ground (Fig.10).
N.B. To prevent siphoning, do not hermetically seal the machine's discharge hose.
If the water system does not have a discharge system, use the special "U" fitting to hook the hose over the edge
of a washbasin and tie it to the tap (Fig.11). Remember that the hoses must not be squashed when manoeuvring
the machine against the wall.

STAIN REMOVAL
Not all stains can be removed by a machine wasching.
The following instructions describe the treatment to be given to material prior to being loaded in the machine, in
order to avoid an unsuccessful wash and the formation of residual discolouring.
- Wax: Remove the wax with a non-cutting edge in order to remove as much as possible, then place a sheet of
paper between an iron and the stained item.
- Ball point and felt tip pens: Reduce the stain with the aid of a soft cloth soaked in colourless 90°alcohol. Be
careful not to spread the stain.
- Damp marks and mildew: After having checked that the item is colourfast on a non-visible part, put it to soak
in water with added bleach. Otherwise, place the item in 10% oxygenated water and leave for 10- 15 minutes.
- Ironing marks: If the fabric is slightly marked, use the procedure described for mildew.
- Rust: Use an anti-rust product following the manufacturer's instructions.
- Chewing gum: Dilute using acetone and remove with a clean cloth.
- Paint: Do not wait for the paint to dry. Treat immediately with the solvent indicated on the paint container (water,
turps, trichloroethylene), wash with soap and water, then rinse.
- Lipstick: Dab with ether if the item is wool or cotton, or with trichloroethylene if it is silk.
- Nail varnish: Place the stained part of the item on a sheet of absorbent paper, then wet the other side of the
item with acetone. Ensure that the sheet of absorbent paper is changed frequently. Continue until the stain has
completely disappeared.
- Metal stains: Apply lemon juice until the stain has completely or almost disappeared.
- Grease or tar: Spread some fresh butter on the stain, leave for a while then dab with oil of turpentine.
- Grass: Soap delicately, treat with diluite bleach. For woollens, 90°alcohol can give good results.

OPRRATING INSTRUCTIONS
Important: To do first wash without clothes to check the functions. This will clean the drum.
For each wash ensure that:
- The water supply connections are secure, the tap is turned on (Fig12) and the discharge hose is positioned
correctly (Fig. 10-11).
- The programme selector (P) is in the stop position (STOP).
- Then, with dry hands, insert the plug in the power socket (Fig.7).
- Sort the washing into fabric types.
- Check that there are no objects in the pockets of the clothing to wash which may damage the fabric, washing
machine or filter.
- Open the top cover by lifting it (Fig. 13).
- To open the basket hatch, push the red button to disconnect, holding both doors of the hatch with one hand
(Fig. 15).
- Insert the washing. To ensure that the load is evenly balanced when spinning, if possible wash garments of
different sizes but the same type of material in the same load.
Incorrect distribution of the load may mean that the washing machine is unbalanced when spinning.
Close the basket hatch, ensuring that it connects properly, then close the tub cover (if there is one) and load
the detergent as follows:
-* Place detergent for the pre-wash cycle in the compartment marked “I”
-* Place detergent for the wash cycle in the compartment marked “II”
IMPORTANT: If powdered detergent is used, the green flap inside tray “II” must be in an upward position,
for liquid detergent the flap must be pushed down (Fig. 16-B).
-* Softener, bluing or perfume must be placed in the compartment marked “ ”.
-* Bleach must be placed in the compartment marked " ".
N.B. Remember to pull the green flap up when using powdered detergent. When filling with detergent it is
important that each product be placed in its own compartment and does not overflow.
If the detergent spills into the softener compartment, the rinse will be sudsy and laundry could have white spots.
If softener spills in the detergent compartment, washing will be less effective.
CAUTION:
Always use a non-foaming detergent suitable for automatic washing machines.
Ensure that you measure out the correct amount of detergent, following the indications given by the Manufacturer
on the pack.:
- too much detergent might cause excessive foaming and reduce the performance of your washing machine
- too little detergent might result in unsatisfactory results
- Close the top lid, select a suitable program and the correct temperature on the basis of the
program list.
