DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
The washing machine is a domestic appliance that is used to wash
various types of fabrics.
The machine is constructed from panels treated and painted such
that high aesthetic quality is achieved.
The motor and all moving parts have been designed and
manufactured to provide quiet operation.
The stainless steel drum is large and well mounted for a better
quality wash and longer linen life.
The control panel ensures easy selection of all the wash cycles
desired.
The large door makes loading and unloading the washing easier*.
Its excellent stability is the result of extensive research into the
equilibrium of masses in movement.
INSTALLATION
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 on any flat surface, with the ambient
temperature not less than 3℃and that the cables and pipes at the rear of
the machine are not crushed.
Transport the machine near to its installation place and remove the
external packing (Fig.2). If the integrity of the machine is in doubt, do not
use it. Seek advice from qualified personnel.
* See control panel (page 14) and program tables (page 11-13)
Warning!
Unpacking
Fig 2

Warning! For transport reasons, the suspended unit located in the machine is locked
in position by four distance pieces and screws. Before operating the machine, remove
the blocking screws and insert four plastic caps to each hole accordingly.
(Fig.3) Save the screws and distance pieces for future use.
Once the screws and packing spacers have been removed, it is necessary to insert the
plugs provided, which can be found inside the bag containing the documents.
Carefully transport the machine to the connection points.
The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.
For proper operation, the machine should be installed on a flat, level surface.
Levelling can be carried by adjusting the feet (Fig.4) on the machine.
Once the machine is level, block the feet by tightening the lock nuts with a spanner.
Check that the voltage written on the technical data table inside the manual
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.
Insert the plug in the socket, ensuring that it is fitted with an earth (Fig.5)
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*.
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.6). Check that the other end of the hose is tight on the inlet (Fig.7).
Position the discharge hose at a minimum height of 60cm, though not more than 90cm,
from the ground (Fig.8).
N.B. To prevent siphoning, do not hermetically seal the machine’s discharge
hose.
Remember that the hoses must not be squashed when manoeuvring the machine
against the wall.
The appliance is to be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets and that old
hose-sets should not be reused.

Not all stains can be removed by machine washing.
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 colorfast 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,
and 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 dilute bleach. For woollens, 90°alcohol can
give good results.
Before putting the material in the machine, examine the clothing label in
order to select the correct washing programme.
The table illustrated below may be helpful.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
For each wash ensure that:
The water supply connections are secured*, the tap is turned on
(Fig.10) and the discharge hose is positioned correctly.
The programme selector (P) is in the stop position (STOP).
Then, with dry hands, insert the plug in the power socket (Fig.11).
Sort the washing into fabric types**.
Check that there are no objects in the pockets of the clothing to be
washed which may damage the fabric, washing machine or filter.
Open the door (Fig.12).
Load the washing in the machine and close the door.
N.B.Using detergent (Fig.13)
(Fig.14)
Each product poured into its respective section must not be allowed to
overflow. Should the detergent enter the softener section, the washing will
be rinsed in soapy water, leaving white marks. Vice versa, if the softener
enters the detergent section during the washing cycle, efficiency will be
affected.
Add the reduced lather detergent and softener (if required) specially
made for automatic washing machined). For the dosage, refer to the
instructions on the packet. In the case of soft water, reduce the
dosage.
N.B. Excessive use of softener may damage the fabric.
Close the soap powder container (Fig. 15).
Warning! Do not remove the soap powder container while the
machine is in operation, as this may cause water to spill out.
Select the most suitable programme and correct temperature from the
programme table***.

MAINTENANCE
Our washing machine does not need any particular or complicated
maintenance operations, in that it has been designed for a long working
life. Nevertheless, some care and attention are recommended*. Before
carrying out the following operations, ensure that the machine is
disconnected from the electricity supply (Fig.11) and the water is turned
off (Fig.25).
This is carried out each time when there is a build up of soap powder in
the container.
The procedure can be carried out simply by extracting the pull-out
container from its housing (a sharp pull is required to overcome the
stopper) (Fig.26) and rinsing it under a jet of water.
The machine must not be cleaned with solvents.Aslightly soapy wet cloth
is sufficient.
This is carried out periodically. Ensure the machine is empty and there is
no water in the tub and the electricity supply is disconnected (Fig.5).
The operation is carried out by placing a basin or cloth under the filter
cover to soak residual water (Fig.27).
The filter is removed from its seating by rotating it half a turn in an
anticlockwise direction and pulling outwards (Fig.28). The filter is
cleaned under a jet of water, ensuring that all trapped particles are
removed.
Then replace the filter in its housing, rotating it clockwise until it locks in
position (Fig.29).

Toutes les taches ne peuvent être enlevées par un lavage en machine.
Les instructions suivantes décrivent le traitement à appliquer au tissu avant de le
mettre dans la machine, afin d'éviter un lavage imparfait et l'apparition d'une teinte
ternie résiduelle.
Cire:Enlever la cire avec un objet non tranchant afin d'enlever le maximum
possible, ensuite mettre une feuille de papier entre un fer à repasser et le linge taché.
Stylos à bille et feutre:Eliminer la tache avec un tissu doux imbibé
d'alcool à 90°Faire attention à ne pas répandre la tache.
Traces humides et moisissures:Après avoir vérifié que le linge ne déteint
pas sur une partie non visible, le tremper dans l'eau en y ajoutant de l'eau de javel.
Sinon, le mettre dans l'eau oxygénée à 10% et le laisser pendant 10-15 minutes
Traces de repassage:s'il y a des traces légères sur le tissu, utiliser la procédure
décrite pour la moisissure.
Rouille:utiliser un produit anti-rouille suivant les instructions du fabricant.
Chewing gum: Le diluer en utilisant l'acétone et le détacher avec un tissu propre.
Peinture:ne pas attendre que la peinture sèche. Traiter immédiatement
avec le solvant indiqué sur le pot de peinture (eau, térébenthine, trichloréthylène)
Laver avec du savon et de l'eau, ensuite rincer.
Rouge à lèvres: Tamponner avec l'éther si l'article est en laine ou coton ou
avec le trichloréthylène s'il est en soie.
Vernis à ongle:Mettre la partie tachée de l'article sur une feuille de papier
absorbant, ensuite mouiller l'autre partie de l'article avec l'acétone. Veiller
à ce que la feuille de papier asborbant soit changée souvent. Continuer jusqu'à
disparition complète ou presque de la tache.
Taches de métal:appliquer du jus de citron jusqu'à disparition complète
ou presque de la tache.
Graisse ou goudron: étaler un peu de beure frais sur la tache, laisser
pendant un moment, ensuite tamponner avec de l'huile de térébentine.
Herbe: savonner légèrement, traiter avec de l'eau de javel diluée.Pour les lainages
l'alcool à 90°C peut donner de bons résultas.
Avant de mettre du linge dans la machine , regarder l'étiquette du vêtement pour
choisir le bon programme de lavage.
