Starting the washer
Starting your washing machine
in the right way is important for
the quality of your wash, to help
prevent future problems and
enhance life expectancy of your
appliance. Once you have
loaded your washing machine
and added the detergent
together with any fabric
conditioner, always check that:
1. The door is closed correctly.
2. The plug is secured in the
socket.
3. The water supply is turned
on.
4. Selector knob Ais positioned
on one of the symbols (Stop/
Reset).
Choose the desired programme
The programme is selectedaccording to the type of garments
that need to be washed. To choose
a programme, refer to the table on
page 4. Turn knob Auntil theselected programme is aligned
with the mark on the knob, if
necessary use buttons Cand D,
and lastly, press on/off button E(position).
After installing your new washing machine, start a washcycle by setting programme "1" at 90 degrees.
For more delicategarments:
protect underwear, tightsand stockings and delicateitems by placing them in a
canvas pouch
Dividing your garmentsaccording to fabric and
colour, is very importantfor good results
At the end of the wash cycle...Wait approximately 3 minutes.
Then turn the washing machine
off by pressing on-off button E(position). You can now open
the washing machine door
safely. After having removed the
freshly cleaned washing, leave
the door open to allow air
circulation inside the drum.
Always disconnect electricity at
the socket and turn off the water
supply.
Remember that, in the event
of a power failure, or shouldthe washing machine switchitself off, the programmechosen will remain in itsmemory.
The labels say it all.
Always look at the labels: theytell you everything about your
garment and how to wash it in
the best possible way.
The table on page 5 shows all
meanings behind these
symbols. Their recom-
mendations are important to
achieve better wash results.

Big and small happily
together.This washing machine has a
special electronic control device
for even distribution: before the
spin cycle starts, this device
allows the garments to positions
themselves, to minimise noise
and vibrations during the spin
cycle.

Rinse HoldThis function (represented by thesymbol ) interrupts the washprogramme, keeping the washingsoaking in water before draining.It is only enabled in programmesfor synthetic fabrics, silk andcurtains. It is very useful,because it prevents delicate andsynthetic fabrics from creasing(for example, when you cannottake the washing out at the endof the wash cycle but only a fewhours later). The programme canbe completed by turning knob Aone notch. In the case ofsynthetic fabrics, should youpreferdrainingrather than a spincycle, turn knob Auntil you haveselected the number 17 (Drain).

Useful tips Never use your washing
machine to wash...torn, frayingor non-hemmed linen. If it is
absolutely neccessary, place it in
a bag for protection. Do not wash
coloured linen with whites.
Watch the weight!For best results, do not exceed
the weight limits stated below
(figures show weight of dry
garments):
How to wash almost anythingCurtains.
Curtains tend to crease a great
deal. A useful tip to reduce
creasing: fold the curtains and
place them in a pillow case or
mesh bag. Do not load anything
else inside the appliance, this
will ensure that the overall
weight does not exceed the half
load. Remember to use the
specific programme 9 whichautomatically excludes the spin
cycle.
Trainers.Once you have removed mud
and dirt from trainers, you can
even wash them with jeans or
any other tough garments. Do
not wash trainers with whites.
Quilted coats and anorak.You can wash quilted coats and
wind-cheaters, too, if they are
padded with goose or duck
down. Do not load more than
2-3 kg and never load 5 kg.
Repeat rinse once or twice
using the gentle spin.
How much does it weigh?1 sheet 400-500 gr.
1 pillow case 150-200 gr.
1 tablecloth 400-500 gr.
1 bathrobe 900-1,200 gr.
1 towel 150-250 gr.
Coloured T-shirts, printedones and shirts last longer if turned
inside out before washing.
Printed T-shirts and sweatshirts
should always be ironed inside out.
Dungaree alert.Very popular salopette type
overalls have straps with hooks
that can damage the drum of your
washing machine or other
garments during the wash. To
minimise the risk, place hooks in
the pocket and fasten with safety
pins.
Holidays: unplug the
appliance.It is recommended that you
should unplug the machine from
the socket and turn off the water
supply. Leave the door ajar to
allow air circulation to the drawand the door gasket area. This will
prevent unpleasant odours.

You must follow the dosagerecommendations provided by
the manufacturers when addingdetergent or fabric conditioner.Doses will vary according to thewash load, the water hardnessand how soiled the washing is.Experience will help you selectthe right dosage almostautomatically: it will become yoursecret.Ensure no overfilling whenadding fabric conditioner incompartment 3.The washing machine automa-tically adds the softener to thewash in each programme.Liquid detergent is poured intocompartment 2 just a fewseconds before starting thewash cycle.Remember that liquid detergentis only designed for washcycles of up to 60 degrees onnon pre-wash items.
In compartment 1:Detergent for pre-washing (powder)
In compartment 2:Detergent for washing(powder or liquid)
In compartment 3:Additives (softeners, perfumes, etc.)
Useful tips about the detergent dispenserIts important for a good wash
The first secret is the easiest: the detergent dispenser is
opened by pull it outwards.
Special containers are sold withliquid or powder detergents for
placing inside the washingmachine drum, these arepositioned according to theinstructions found in thedetergent boxNever use hand washdetergent, because it may formtoo much foam, which coulddamage the washing machine.Detergents that are specificallyformulated for both hand andmachine wash are anexception.One last secret: when washingwith cold water, always reducethe amount of detergent you use:it dissolves less easily in coldwater than in hot water, so partof it would be wasted.
Cutting costs efficiently A guide to environmentallyfriendly and economic useof your appliance.
MAXIMISE THE LOAD SIZEAchieve the best use of energy, water, detergent and time by using the recommendedmaximum load size.SAVE up to 50% energy by washing a full load instead of 2 half loads.
DO YOU NEED TO PRE-WASH?For heavily soiled laundry only!SAVE detergent, time, water and between 5 to 15% energy consumption by NOTselecting Prewash for slight to normally soiled laundry.
IS A HOT WASH REQUIRED?Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried in stains in water before washing toreduce the necessity of a hot wash programme.SAVE up to 50% energy by using a 60C wash programme.
BEFORE USING A DRYING PROGRAMME ...SAVE energy and time by selecting the highest suitable spin speed to reduce the watercontent in laundry before using a drying programme.
The detergent dispenser can be
removed and cleaned: pull it outwards,as indicated in the figure. Then leave itunder running water for a few minutes.

Installation and removal
Whether new or just transported to a new house,
installation is extremely important for the correctfunctioning of your washing machine.
Connecting the drain hoseThe drain hose (hooked pipe) issecured to the rear of the machineby support clips and may be
routed to right or left as required.
The drain hose should be placedin a stand pipe with a minimuminternal diameter of 38 mm (1inches) or it can be positioned overa sink or it can be connected asshown in Fig. A. The height ofstand pipe or sink should bebetween 60 and 100 cm (24 and40 inches). Care must be takenthat the hose is not obstructed,twisted, submerged or kinked. Ifthe hose is connected with anairtight joining, provision should be
made to prevent syphoning.
Electric connectionYour appliance is now suppliedwith a 13 amp fused plug it canbe plugged into a 13 amp socket
for immediate use. Before usingthe appliance please read theinstructions below.
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCEMUST BE EARTHED.THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONSSHOULD BE CARRIED OUT BY AQUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
Replacing the fuse:When replacing a faulty fuse, a13 amp ASTA approved fuse toBS 1362 should always be used,and the fuse cover re-fitted. If thefuse cover is lost, the plug must
not be used until a replacementis obtained.
Replacement fuse covers:If a replacement fuse cover isfitted, it must be of the correctcolour as indicated by thecoloured marking or the colourthat is embossed in words on thebase of the plug. Replacementscan be obtained directly fromyour nearest Service Depot.
After removing the appliance fromits packaging, check that it isintact. If in doubt, contact aqualified technician immediately.The inside of the machine issupported, for transportation, byfour screws on the back panel.
Before using the washingmachine, remove the screws,remove the spacers together withthe rubber tubes attached to them(keeping all the parts) and use theplastic plugs provided to fill in theholes.Important:Use the cap (provided)to close the 3 holes which housedthe stop pin, situated in the right-handpart of the lower back of thewashing machine.
LevellingThe washing machine must belevelled appropriatey in order toguarantee its correct functioning. Tolevel the appliance, the front feetmust be adjusted; the angle ofinclination, measured according tothe worktop, must not exceed 2.When placed on carpet, make surethe ventilation is not reduced.
Connection to the water
mainsBoth hot and cold water suppliesare preferable and they should bebetween 34.5kN/m(5lb/in) and1034.2kN/m (150lb/in) pressure.The hose having theredend fittingshould be encountered betweenthe hotsupply and the threadedconnection adjacent to the letter Hon the rear of the machine. Thehose having the whiteend fittings
should be connected between thecoldsupply and the threadedconnection adjacent to the letter Con the rear of the machine.Remember to insert a sealingwasher at each connection toensure watertight joints. Do notovertighten the connections byusing tools -hand tight is sufficientto prevent leaks. It is generally moreconvenient to have these suppliesaway from the sink taps. Whereno suitable hot water supply isavailable or it does not meet theserequirements, both inlet hoses maybe connected to a cold supply by
using two taps etc., or a Tjunction on the plumbing however,use of cold water only will increaseprogramme times.Note:the maximum temperatureshould not exceed 70C (158F).
Connect the inlet hose to thethreaded connector on the
machine rear.

Treat your machine well and it will providemany years of trouble free service
Easy Care and Maintenance
Your washing machine is a reliable companion in life and on the job. It is just as important for you to keep itin shape.
Your washing machine is
designed to provide reliableservice over many years. A few
simple steps will help to prolong
its life and avoid problems. It is
advisable, to turn off water taps
when the machine is not to be
used, this protects the hoses,
etc.
If the water in your area is too
hard, use a deliming product
(water is hard if it often leaves
whitish stains around taps or
drains, especially of bath tubs.
For more accurate information as
to the type of water in your
system, call the local water
works or a local plumber).
Pockets must always be
emptied removing even pins,
badges and any other hard
object.
The washing machine exterior
should be cleaned with a rag
dipped in lukewarm water and
soap.
Never exaggerate with doses.Normal detergents already
contain deliming agents. Only if
the water is particularly hard,
that is, rich in lime content, do
we recommend the use of a
specific product at every wash.
A periodical wash cycle with a
dose of a deliming product,
without detergents or washing,
may prove useful.
Never use too much detergent
or additives because this could
cause an excess amount of
foam, scaling and possible
damage to the component parts
of your washing machine.
When in need, check the pump and the rubber hose.The washer comes equipped with a self-cleaning pump that does not require any cleaning or maintenance. Smallobjects may accidentally fall into the pump: coins, hair clips, loose buttons and other small items. To avoid possibledamage, they are withheld in an accessible pre-chamber, situated at the lower end of the pump.
It is important to washthe detergent dispenser
regularly.To prevent dried washing
powder fromaccumulating, place thedispenser under runningwater for a few minutes.
Attention: Before attempting to examine this pre-chamber, firstensure that the machine has finished its programme and is empty.Unplug the machine, as with any maintenance.
To gain access gently ease down the top of the plinth panel situated atthe base of the machine, with a screwdriver etc, to release it. Thenease the top edge forward to allow it to be lifted clear (Fig. 1). Placea shallow dish or tray below the cover of the pre-chamber to catchthe small amount of water present. Release the cover by turning anti-clockwise (Fig. 2). Ensure that the cover is securely replaced.Re-fit the plinth cover by inserting the hooks on its lower edge intothe slots and ease the top edge back into position.
The water inlet hoseCheck the rubber hose at least once a year. If you see any cracks, replace it immediately. When you use your washing machine,water pressure is very strong and a cracked tube could easily split open.
