NOTES AND ADVICE FOR THE USER
This appliance has been designed for use
as a domestic washing machine. Any other
use is considered as improper and therefore
dangerous.
Any modifications or attempts to interfere
with the washing machine can be dangerous
for the user and may damage the appliance
itself.
Considering the substantial weight of the
washing machine, specific safety standards
must be observed during handling.
The washing machine must not be used by
children unless supervised.
Any modifications to the mains water or
electricity supply must be carried out by
authorised technicians only.
When positioning the washing machine,
ensure that the power supply cable is not
kinked or squashed and is accessible.
Before using the washing machine, remove
all the packing and locking devices used for
the transport (locking screws). If this is not
done, serious damage may be caused to
both the appliance and your home.
If the washing machine is installed on a car-
peted floor, leave sufficient space between
the appliance and the floor to guarantee the
free circulation of air.
Do not overload the washing machine.
When the appliance is in operation, avoid
any contact with the water being discharged
through the drain hose, as it may be very hot.
Do not touch the door glass either, as this will
tend to heat up during washing.
Use the washing machine for machine-wash-
able items only. In the case of any doubts,
refer to the manufacturer’s instructions on
the label attached to the item to wash (see
“Clothing care symbols”)
Before placing the washing in the washing ma-
chine, make sure that all pockets are empty.
Hard or pointed objects such as coins, pins,
nails, screws or stones can cause serious
damage to the appliance.

INSTALLING THEWASHING MACHINE
CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY
The mains water pressure m ust 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 f tted 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 f tting supplied (see f g. 8)
Connect the fill hose (fig. 9).
N.B. Washing mac hines and condensation type washer/drier s
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.

RECOMMENDATIONS PRIOR TO USE
Warning: Before carrying out the f rst 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 v oltage indicated on the identif cation plate
attached to the inside of the f lter door corresponds to that of the
mains supply (f g. 12).
All cut-outs, electric wiring and mains sockets must have a rating such that ena-
bles 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.

USING THEWASHING 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 ma y
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 compar tment, in that this w ould
create a soap y rinse and stain the fabrics white . Vice versa, if
softener is ad ded to the deter gent compartment, the quality of
the wash will be compromised.
N.B. When using a liquid deter gent (recommended f or pro-
grammes without pre-wash) proceed as follows: remove the baffe
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 remo ve the detergent drawer while
the washing machine is in operation, as this will cause water to
f ow 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.
WAX: 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.
BALL POINT PENS AND FELT-TIP PENS: clean using
a soft cloth soaked in ethyl alcohol.Take care
not to spread the stain.
DAMP 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.
LIGHT SCORCH MARKS LEFT BY IRONING: follow the
instructions for mould and damp.
RUST: use products specially designed for rust
stains, following the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions written on the packet.
CHEWING 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.
LIPSTICK: stains on cotton or wool can be elimi-
nated using a cloth soaked in ether. Stains
on silk require the use of trichloroethylene.
NAIL 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.
TAR OR DIRT: spread a little fresh butter over
the stain, allow to stand and then wash with
oil of turpentine.
GRASS: delicately soap the stain, use diluted
bleach. Good results can be obtained on
woollen fabrics using 90% alcohol.
BLOOD: put into soak in cold water with added
salt, then wash with washing soap.

WASH CYCLE:
“EASY LOGIC”TECHNOLOGY
The electronic washing machine is f tted with an “EASY LOGIC” system that automaticall y
recognises the quantity of washing loaded.The machine can thus regulate the amount of water
to use for the wash and pr oportion the wash time accor dingly, thus saving water, time and
energy. In the case where the amount of washing is less than the maxim um recommended
load (see technical characteristics table), the quantity of water used f or the wash will be re-
duced by 2 litres for each kg less of washing. In the case of a half-load or less, the machine
will automatically carry out one rinse less than programmed. N.B.The“EASY LOGIC” function
is only active for cotton programmes.
