Safeties
Lid : your washing machine is equipped with
a safety avoiding the switching of the appliance
when the flapdoors of the drum are opened ;
the closure of the lid is so impossible. An
electromechanic safety prohibits the opening
of the lid when the washing machine works and
2 minutes after the end of the programme.
Washing motor : in case of mechanic
overloading, overvoltage, a thermic safety
protects automatically the motor.
Heating : the heating can only begin when
the water quantity necessary for the washing
is in the tub. This safety is useful when there is
a water break-up or if you forget to open the
water inlet hose.
The anti-foam system: water consumption is very
low, due to the electronic spin cycle with an inter-
mediate spin after the main wash and three rinse
cyclesforwhiteandcolorprograms. Thespincycle
remains under the control of the foam detection
system after the wash cycle has finished. If
necessary, the spin cycle will stop until all foam is
removed.
Anti-balanced system : This safety allows to the
appliance to keep a perfect stability during the
intermediaryspinningsandduringthefinalspinning.
Ifyounoticethatyourlaundryisnotspinnedenough,
the anti-balanced system has then detected a bad
distributionof thelaundryduring thefinalspinning ;
soitisadvicedtorealizeanewspinningtakingcare
to unpack handly the laundry before.
Environmental information
All materials marked by the symbol are
biodegradable. They can be disposed of without dan-
ger or burnt in rubbish incinerators.
Inordertorealizewaterandenergysavingsandtoact
inanenvironmentallyconsciousmanner,weadviceto
follow the below instructions :
- use if possible the appliance with full loads
instead of partial loads. Take care to do not
overload the drum.
- Use only the programmes with prewash for very
soiled laundry.
- Savings on detergent and for the environment
may also be achieved if with medium to hard
water you add sufficient detergent for soft water
and then add separately a softener. This relieves
our waters of a certain amount of chemicals.
When disposing of the machine in a proper
manner, destroy the door lock and cut off the
power supply cord.

HINTS AND TIPS
Washing hints
You are advised not to leave your laundry too long,
especiallywhendamp.Damp laundryproducesmoult
and unpleasant 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 14).
The following points are particularly important :
-a lineunder thebowl means thatthe garmentcannot
be washed using programmes for resistant fabrics
such as cotton and linen;
- do not mix coloured garments with whites;
- anticrease materials like polyester/cotton should be
treated as synthetics;
- non-resistant fabrics like acrylic and most curtain
materials should be treated as delicate fabrics;
-thewoolprogramme isdesignedspecificallyforpure
newwool. Other typesof wool andwool mixtures may
shrink or felt if machine-washed.
Woollengarments shouldbe spunbriefly immediately
after washing.
Prewash
Prewashisnotnormallynecessary.Yournewwashing
machine combined with modern detergents will give
perfect washing results without prewash, thus saving
energy, time, water and detergent.
However, when the laundry is particularly dirty (for
example if you have to wash mechanics' overalls or
butchers' aprons), you are advised to use prewash
with a biological detergent.
Temperatures
We suggest that white cotton and linen, if it is not
excessively soiled, can be washed at 60° instead of
90°C. There should be no reduction in performance,
but there will be an energy saving of approximately
30%.
The same applies to a lesser extent to fast coloured
garments.
Theyusually requirea temperature of60°C butif they
are not excessively dirty, you will have satisfactory
results at 40°C.
Garmentswithnon-fastcoloursshouldnotbewashed
at temperatures above 40°C. If fast and non-fast
colours are washed together, they should be treated
as non-fast colours and therefore the temperature
should not exceed 40°C.
Resistantwhite and colouredsynthetics cannormally
be washed at 60°C but also in this case 40°C is
sufficient if the laundry is not excessively dirty.
Delicate synthetics, synthetics with non-fast colours
and woollen garments must never be washed above
40°C.
Asyoualready know,yourwashingmachinecan also
washwithcoldwater.However,itmustberemembered
that the detergents currently on the market have not
been designed 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?
Strictlyspeakingyoushouldalwaysweighyourlaundry.
The drum will take a maximum of 5 kg of cotton and
linen. For synthetics and delicate fabrics, the maxi-
mum load is 2,5 kg and for wool, 1 kg.
As weighing can 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 : no more than 2/3 of the drum
delicate fabrics and wool : no more than 1/2 of the
drum.
Before placing the laundry in the ma-
chine:
- mend all tears, holes and ladders;
- secure loose buttons and close poppers and zips;
- do not wash frayed garments - mend hems before
washing;
- remove all small objects from pockets. Nails, pins,
clips and similar objects can seriously damage your
washing machine and laundry;
- remove curtain hooks;
- wash coloured garments and in particular those with
non-fast colours separately when washing for the first
time.Theyarelikelytolosecolourthefirsttimetheyare
washed.
- treat obstinate stains such as grass, rust, tar, paint,
ink etc. with a stain remover before washing.

- 12 -
To remove paint stains, for example, use a volatile
substancesuchasturpentine:inthiscase,youshould
wait for it to dry completely before washing.
The manufacturer of your washing machine is not
responsible for any damage deriving from the use of
volatile, inflammable or toxic substances.
At the end of the washing
Damp laundry should be dried as soon as possible
after finishing the wash.
Knitwear and woollens should be dried flat away from
direct sunlight.
Detergents and additives
Good washing results also depend on the choice of
detergent and use of the correct quantities to avoid
waste and protect the environment. Although
biodegradable, detergents contain substances which
inlargequantitiescan damagethedelicateecological
balance of nature.
Always use good quality detergents suitable for
use in washing machines.
Follow the indications given by the detergent manu-
factureraccordingtotheweightoflaundry,thedegree

do not know how hard it is, ask your local Water
Authority.
Powder detergents.

Liquid detergents
Usingthenewautomaticdispenserforliquiddetergents,
it is possible to use a liquid detergent for main wash
phasesifyoustart thewashingmachineimmediately.
Liquid detergents can be used instead of powder
detergentsparticularlyforlightlysoiledlaundryandfor
medium or low temperature washing programmes,
while it is better to use a powder detergent for high
temperature washing programmes.
Liquid additives
Any liquid additives for softening the laundry must be
poured into the compartment of the detergent dis-
penser drawer before starting the programme.

The drain filter
The machine has got a mecanic filter located on the
front part to collect lint and small objects (toothpins,
coins, pins, etc) inadvertently left in the clothes. It is
essential that this filter is cleaned regularly.

Electrical connection
Before you fit the plug into the wall socket, check the
following points :
1) The supply voltage of the domestic wiring system
does not fluctuate by more that 10%, plus or minus,
from 230 V.
2) The meter, the fuses, the supply line and the wall
socketaresuitabletocarrythemaximumloadrequired
by the machine (2,3 kW).
Very important :
The washing machine is provided with a feeding
wire with earth connection: it must be connected
to a plug like that is provided with a good earth
connection. The wall plug must be easily accessi-
ble.
The replacing of the power cord must only be
