UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION
TRANSIT SECURITY BARS 
Before starting the machine up, the transport security
bars must be removedas follows:
You are advised to keep all the transport security bars in
case the appliance has to be transported again.
1. Unscrew and remove the
three rear screws by
means of a key.
2. Lean the appliance back
on the rear and fit one of
the polystyrene angles
between the appliance
and the floor.
Make sure the hoses
are not squashed.
3. Carefully remove the
plastic bags on the right
and the left, pulling them
to the centre of the
appliance.
4. Place the machine in an
upright position and
remove the three plastic
bolts.
5. Plug the 3 holes with the
plastic plugs which you
can find in the envelope
containing the instruction
booklet.
HYDRAULIC CONNECTION
There should be a COLD WATERtap near the washing
machine with a screwing on connection pipe of 3/4 gas for
the water supply, a sink, a wash basin or a drainage system
in the wall.
Previously check if:
— it is not a hot water tap.
— the running water is clean. If not, run off a
reasonable amount of water to flush out any debris
that may have collected in the pipes.
Have the permanent drainage system in the wall checked
by a plumber.
Place the enclosed rubber joint, delivered in a plastic bag
together with the appliance (A), at the very end of the inlet
hose and carefully screw the pipe to the tap taking care not
to damage the screwdrive and fix the nut well on to the end
in order to avoid leaking.
If necessary turn the hose
adequately by unscrewing
the nut at the rear of the
appliance.
Now tighten the nut anew to avoid leaks. (Open the tap and
asure that it does not leak and close it again.)
Place the discharging hose
in a washbasin or sink with
the aid of the bent piece
delivered separately. The
bent piece has to be
entered into the tube’s
mouth in order to assure
the support. Aforesaid
piece allows the hose to be
fixed to the wall by means
of an opening on the upper
part and that way the hose
does not move and its
falling is avoided. 
						

							5
ENGLISH
IMPORTANT: The distance from the floor to the highest
part of the hose should be between 60 to 90 cm. (It is
advised to be between 60 and 70 cm). The hose must not
be bent nor twisted to avoid clogging. Should a prolongation
of the discharging hose be unavoidable this must never
surpass 1.5 m and must be of the same diameter as the
original hose.
Make sure the hoses are not too tense.
LEVELLING
Level the appliance by loosening or tightening the feet.
Once in the right position fix the feet by pushing  the nuts
against the base of the case. Accurate levelling will prevent
vibration, noise and displacement of the appliance during
operation.
Some vibration is inevitable, especially if placed on a
wooden floor. Wooden floors are particularly susceptible to
vibrations. For advice, consult a builder. If posible always
place the appliance on a solid floor. 
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Before plugging the appliance make sure that:
1ºthe mains of your installation is the same as on the
rating plate of your appliance (the plate is sticked to the
rear of the appliance).
2ºThe meter, the fuses, the wiring and the socket outlet
can support the max. power absorbed stated on the rating
plate.
3ºThe socket base and the plug must fit in adequately
without any reducing interposition, multiple outlets or
adapters. If necessary replace the socket outlet by an
adequate one. 
The applicable rules for electrical security require an
adequate earthing. The plug of the appliance is
provided with such a device.
Make sure your socket outlet is provided with an
adequate earthing too.
The manufacturer declines any liability in case of
accidents or incidents should these safety measures
not be observed. 
(Never touch the washing machine or any electric appliance
while standing on a wet floor or being barefoot.)

WASHING HINTS
Sort the laundry according to the type of fabric, colour
fastness and how dirty it is.
When washing curtains remove the hooks.
It is essential to wash new coloured items separately when
washing them for the first time.
When washing fabrics requiring different wash
temperatures together , always select the lowest one.
White items should NOT be washed with coloured ones.
For wool use gentle detergents only in small quantities.
Only wool marked ‘PURE NEW WOOL WASHABLE
PRESHRUNK’ can be washed in the machine using the
wool program; other types of wool should be washed by
hand or dry cleaned.  
Some stains such as fruit, wine, grass, rust, blood, etc. are
difficult to remove and should be treated before washing
with specific products which can be found in most
household shops. In any case they should be treated
immediately , later on they are difficult to remove.
Damp laundry should be hung out to dry as soon as
possible after finishing the wash.
Knitwear and woollens should be dried flat, away from
direct sunlight. 
On the care labels in most clothes wash code symbols can
be found which help you to select the adequate wash
program. You are advised to observe and follow these
instructions.
On the following table you will find the meaning of the
symbols.LOAD THE WASHING MACHINE
Check the quantity you are going to wash for each cycle.
It is rather difficult to weigh all the pieces to be washed. We
therefore advise you:
Cotton and linen:fill the drum without pressing.
Synthetic resistant : fill two thirds of the drum.
Delicates and wool:fill half the drum.
TEMPERATURES
You are advised to wash whites at a temperature of 60°C. If
the laundry is not very soiled this will be enough and it is
energy saving. If you want to wash whites without
temperature, you must choose the program 2.
Coloured fabrics are advised to be washed at 40°C
although they would stand 60°C.
When washing together dark and light coloured fabrics the
temperature should not exceed 40°C. Synthetic white and
light coloured fabrics can be washed at 60°C, but here also
40° will do if they are not very soiled.
Dark synthetics, delicate fabrics and wool must be washed
at 40°C.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you
must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity
supply.
EXTERNAL CLEANING
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with neutral
soap and water only, and then dry thoroughly.
CLEANING THE DISPENSER DRAWER
AND THE RECESS
Pull the drawer to remove (slightly at first till the stop, then
pull hard).
Flush well under a fast running tab.
Clean the recess with a small brush.
Replace the drawer.
CLEANING THE DRAIN FILTER  
A clean filter is important for
correct functioning of the
washing machine, and it
should therefore be cleaned
regularly. Small objects left
in the pockets and yarn is
retained here.
Unscrew the filter
completely turning it
anticlockwise.
Remove the filter and clean
it under a fast running tap.
Replace the filter turning now clockwise and tighten it. 
CLEANING THE WATER INLET HOSE
FILTER 
If it takes longer to fill up
the washing machine it is
time to check the water inlet
hose filter it may be
clogged. Turn off the water
tap. Unscrew the fixing nut
of the inlet hose. Remove
the filter from the
electrovalve and clean it
with a hard bristle brush
and replace it. Screw on the
nut thoroughfully.
THE DANGERS OF FREEZING
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0ºC,
certain precautions should be taken.
* Turn off the water tap and unscrew the inlet hose.
* Select a wash program and run for a few seconds.
* Position the end of the drain hose in a bowl on the floor.
* Run the draining program for a few seconds.
This way you make sure no water at all remains in the
appliance which could freeze and thus damage it and its
surroundings. 
When you need to start the machine up again, make sure
that the room temperature is above 0°C.
