Detergents and additivesGood 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 ,
in large quantities, can upset the delicate balance of
nature.
The choice of  detergent will depend on the type of
fabric (delicates,woollens ,cottons ,etc.), the colour,
washing temperature and degree of soiling.
All commonly available washing machine detergents
may be  used in this appliance:Powder detergents for all types of fabric,
Powder detergents for delicate fabrics ( 60
 max)
and  woollens.
Liquid detergents,preferably for low  temperature
wash program ( 60
 max )for all types of fabric,or
special for woollens only.
The detergent and any additives must be placed in the
appropriate compartments of the dispenser drawer be-
fore starting the wash program.
If using concentrated powder or liquid detergents, a
program without prewash must be selected.
The washing machine incorporates a recirculation
system, which allows an optimal use of the concentr-
Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer com-
partment marked       just before starting the program.
Any fabric softener or bleacher must be poured into
the compartment marked       before starting the wash
program.
Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations
on quantities to use and do not exceed the “MAX”
mark in the detergent dispenser drawer.
-
-
-ated detergent.
Quantity of detergent to be usedThe type and quantity of detergent will depend on the
type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and hard-
ness of the water used.
Water hardness is classified in so-call degree of
hardness. Information on hardness of the water in
your area can be obtained from the relevant water
supply company, or from your local authority.
Follow the product  manufacturer’s instructions on
quantities to use.
Use less detergent if:
You are washing a small load,
The laundry is lightly soiled,
Large amounts of foam forms during washing.-
-
-
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric
first with acetone (
), then with acetic acid; treat any
residual marks on white fabrics with bleach and then
rinse thoroughly.
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated
spirits or benzine, then rub with detergent paste.
(
) do not use acetone on artificial silk.

Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label
and the manufacture’s washing instructions.
Sort the laundry as follows:
Whites, coloureds , synthetics, delicates, woolens.Temperatures for washing
for dirty white cottons and linen(e.g. tea
cloths,towels,tablecloths,sheets)
for normally soiled,colour fast garments(e.
g. shirts,night dresses,pyjamas….) in linen,
cotton or synthetic fibres and for ligntly
soiled white cotton (e.g. underwear).
for delicate items (e.g. net curtains),
mixed laundry including synthetic fibres and
woolens.
Removing stain before washing Washing hints
Checking  Laundry
Important! Make sure that no metal objects are left in
the laundry (e. g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).
Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites
may lose their whiteness in the wash.
New coloured items may run in the first wash; they
should therefore be washed separately the first time .
Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and
poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.
Remove persistent stains before washing. Rub par-
ticularly soiled areas with a special detergent or deter-
gent paste.
Treat curtain with special care, remove hooks or tie
them up in a bag net.Maximum loadsRecommended load are indicated in the programme
charts.
General rules:
Cotton ,linen: drum full but not too tightly packed;
Synthetics: drum no more than half full ;
Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more than
one third full .
Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient
use of water and energy .
For heavily soiled laundry , reduce the load size.

Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and
detergent. It is therefore advisable to treat them prior
to washing.
Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried
stains, soak overnight in water with a special detergent
then rub in the soap and water.
Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain remover,
lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain; treat
several times.
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay the
garment on a soft surface and dab the stain with the
fingertips and a cotton cloth.
Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust re-
moving product used cold. Be careful with rust stains
which are not recent since the cellulose structure will
already have been damaged and the fabric tends to
hole.
Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whites and
fast coloureds only).
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and
fast coloureds only).
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone (
),
lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.
Lipstick: moisten with acetone(
) as above, then treat
stains with methylated spirits. Remove any residual
marks from white fabrics with bleach.
Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and treat
with acetic or citric acid, then rinse. Treat any residual
marks with bleach.

SILK programme. The machine adds rinses with
more water to remove residual detergent.
This option is recommended for people who are allergic
to detergents and in areas where the water is very
soft. NIGHT CYCLE: when you choose this option, the
machine will not drain the water of the last rinse, so
as not to wrinkle the laundry. As all spinning phases
are suppressed, this washing cycle is very noise-
less and it can be selected at night or in times with a
more economical power rate. On cotton and syn-
thetic programmes the rinses will be performed with
more water. At the end of the cycle, the light of the
START/PAUSE button goes out and the door is locked,
the NIGHT CYCLE pilot light remains lit, to indicate
that the water must be drained. To complete the
cycle, choose one of the following programmes:

by means of the SKIP/RESET button; select spin
speed by means of SPIN SPEED button and then
press the START/PAUSE button.
SUPER QUICK WASH; select this function for laun-
dry that is only slightly soiled (not for silk WOOL
and HAND WASH programme). The washing time
will be reduced according to the type of fabric and
the selected temperature.Special 23 minutes super
quick cycle is available by choosing “cold” and press-
ing this button.
The NIGHT WASH, the ECONOMY and the SUPER
QUICK WASH functions cannot be selected together. ECONOMY: this option is available only with cotton
programme at 95°-60°-40° C and synthetics

The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too
short and you do not wish to move the tap, you will
have to purchase a new, longer hose specially de-
signed for this type of use.Water drainageThe end of the drain hose can be positioned in three
ways:
Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plastic
hose guide supplied with the machine. In this case,
make sure the end cannot come unhooked when the
machine is emptying. This could be done by tying it
to the tap with a piece of string or attaching it to the
wall.
Electical connectionThe machine is designed to operate on a 220V, single
phase, 50 Hz frequency supply.
Check that your domestic electrical installation can
take the maximum load required(2kW), also taking into
account any other appliance in use.
Connect the machine to an earthed socket.
The manufacturer declines any responsibility
for damage or injury through failure to comply
with the above safety precaution.
Should the appliance power supply cable need
to be replaced, this should be carried out by
our Service Centre.Please ensure that when the appliance is installed
the power supply cable is easily accessibleDirectly into a drain pipe at a height of not less
than 60cm and not more than 90cm.The end of the
drain hose must be always ventilated and the inside
diameter of the drainpipe must be larger than the
outside diameter of the drain hose. The drain hose
must not be kinked.
In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must be
above the trap so that the bend is at least 60cm
above the ground.When connect the waving junctures with inlet valve,
please aviod leakage and loose for joint deviation of
screw thread.
Pay attention to avoid the damage for over-bending.

ey can be refitted if the machine ever has to betrantra-
nsported  again.
Using a spanner, unscrew and remove the rear
right-hand bolt and lay the machine to its back,
taking care not to squash the hoses. This can be
avoided by placing one of the corner packing pieces
between the machines and the floor.1.Remove the polystyene block from the botton of
the machine and release the two plastic bags.
Carefully remove the right-hand bag then the left
bag by pulling them towards the centre of the
machine.2.
3.
Plug the open holes with the plugs, which you will
find in the plastic envelope containing the instruc-
tion booklet.
5.
6.7.
Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
Make sure that air circulation around the machine is
not impeded by carpets,rugs etc. Check that the
machine does not touch the wall or other kitchen
units.
Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in or
out. Never place carboard, wood or similar materials
under the machine to compensate for any uneven-
ness in the floor. Or the machine will make abnormal
noise or vibrate during spin.Positioning and levelling
Put the bottom cover in the right position.4.Set the machine upright and remove the two remain-
ing bolts from the back.
Pull out the three plastic spacers from the holes into
which the bolts were fitted.Put the juncture base A around the tap, fasten the
four screws and fix the inlet connector B, which
should ensure no water leakage.

Tips for environmental protection
To save water, energy and to help protect the
environment, we recommend that you follow these
tips:With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soil-
ing can be removed; the laundry can then be washed
at a lower temperature,so saving energy.
Measure out detergent according to the water
hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of
laundry being washed.When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the
electrical supply cable and destroy the plug with the
remaining cable. Disable the door catch in order to
prevent children from becoming trapped .
