Water connection
Waterinlet hose :
Connectthewaterinlethosetoa
cold water tap with a 3/4" gas
threaded orifice, after having
inserted the rugger sealing
washer with incorporated filter
(suppliedwiththemachine)into
the hose collar. If the water
connection is made onto new
pipes or onto pipes which have
not been used for a long time, it
is advisable to run off a certain amount of water before
connectingthemachine.Thiswillavoidforeignmatterblocking
the filter placed at the end of the water inlet hose.
Wateroutlethose:
Place the curved end of the outled hose into a drain pipe
having a height between 70 and 100 cms from floor level or
secureit toasink orbathtub.Makesurethatthedrain hose
is firmly secured so that it will not slip out or fall down from
its position.
The water should drain freely and, consequently, the drain
hose should not be choked or placed in such a way as to
obstruct the normal water flow. If an extension hose is
required,rememberthat it might cause a malfunction in the
drain pump, particularly if the extension has a length in
excessof1meterorifthediameteroftheextensionissmaller

Washing hints
Youareadvisednottoleaveyourlaundrytoolong,especially
whendamp.Damplaundryproducesmoultandunpleasant
smells.
Moult stains cannot be removed.
Sort your laundry.
Study carefully the chart in this booklet explaining the
symbols used on clothes labels (see page 22).
Thefollowingpointsare particularly important :
a line under the bowl means that the garment cannot be
washed using programmes for resistant fabrics such as
cottonand linen;
do not mix coloured garments with whites;
anticreasematerialslikepolyester/cottonshouldbetreated
as synthetics;
non-resistant fabrics like acrylic and most curtain materials
should be treated as delicate fabrics;
the wool programme is designed specifically for pure new
wool.Othertypesofwoolandwoolmixturesmayshrinkorfelt
ifmachine-washed.
Woollen garments should be spun briefly immediately after
washing.
Pre-wash
Pre-wash is not normally necessary. Your new washing
machinecombinedwithmoderndetergentswillgiveperfect
washingresultswithoutpre-wash,thussavingenergy,time,
wateranddetergent.
However,whenthelaundryisparticularlydirty(forexample
ifyouhavetowashmechanics'overallsorbutchers'aprons),
youareadvisedtousepre-washwithabiologicaldetergent.
Temperatures
Wesuggestthatwhitecottonandlinen,ifitisnotexcessively
soiled,canbewashedat60°insteadof90°C.Thereshould
benoreductioninperformance,buttherewillbeanenergy
saving of approximately 30%.
The same applies to a lesser extent to fast coloured
garments.
Theyusuallyrequireatemperatureof60°Cbutiftheyarenot
excessivelydirty,youwillhavesatisfactoryresultsat40°C.
Garments with non-fast colours should not be washed at
temperatures above 40°C. If fast and non-fast colours are
washedtogether,theyshouldbetreatedasnon-fastcolours
andthereforethetemperatureshouldnotexceed40°C.
Resistant white and coloured synthetics can normally be
washedat 60°Cbutalso inthiscase40°Cissufficientifthe
laundry is not excessively dirty.
Delicate synthetics, synthetics with non-fast colours and
woollengarments mustneverbewashedabove 40°C.
Asyoualreadyknow,yourwashingmachinecanalsowash
with cold water. However, it must be remembered that the
detergentscurrentlyonthemarkethavenotbeendesigned
for cold washes and that in winter, when the water is very
cold, they may not dissolve adequately.
We suggest the use of liquid detergents.
How much laundry can be washed in one load?
Strictly speaking you should always weigh your laundry.
The drum will take a maximum of 5 kg of cotton and linen.
Forsyntheticsanddelicatefabrics,themaximumloadis2,5
kg and for wool, 1 kg.
Asweighingcan be complicated, we suggest you estimate
the weight according to how full the drum is:
cotton and linen : drum full not too tighty packed
resistant synthetics : nomorethan2/3 of the drum
delicate fabrics and wool : no more than 1/2 of the drum.
Before placing the laundry in the machine:
mend all tears, holes and ladders;
secure loose buttons and close poppers and zips;
donotwashfrayedgarments-mendhemsbeforewashing;
removeallsmallobjectsfrompockets.Nails,pins,clipsand

such as turpentine: in this case, you should wait for it to dry

or toxic substances.
At the end of the washing
Damp laundry should be dried as soon as possible after
finishing the wash.

SOMETHING NOTWORKING ?
If the machine does not start up :
check that the door is firmly shut;
check that the appliance is plugged in;
check that the mains fuse is intact;
check that the programme selector dial is correctly
positioned.
If the machine does not fill :
is the tap on ?
is water coming out of the tap? Check.
is the inlet hose squashed or bent?
is the filter of the inlet hose clogged?
If the machine empties as it fills:
the end of the drain hose is too low.
If the machine does not drain and/or does not
spin:
is the drain hose squashed or bent?
is the drain filter clogged?
If there is water on the floor:
too much detergent or unsuitable detergent? The for-
mation of foam can cause water leaks.
is one of the joints or the tap leaking? It is not always
easy to see as the leak often runs along the hose.
If the machine vibrates or is too noisy:
have all the transit bolts and packing been removed?
is the machine touching something?
are all the feet resting firmly on the ground? Have the
lock nuts been secured?
Ifyouareunabletoidentifyorsolvetheproblem,consult
