SELECTION

For the various types of fabrics

and various degrees of dirt the

washing machine has 3

different programme bands

according to: wash cycle,

temperature and length of cycle

(see table of washing cycle

programmes).

1 Strong Fabrics

The programmes have been

designed for a maximum wash

and rinses, with spin intervals,

ensure perfect rinsing. The

gradual reduction of the water

temperature ensures less

creasing of fabrics.

2 Mixed and Synthetic

Fabrics

Pre-wash and main wash give

best results thanks to the

rotation rhythms of the drum;

the rinses with high water levels

ensure delicate treatment and

best results.

THE PRODUCT

IMPORTANT:

When washing heavy rugs,

bed spreads and other heavy

articles, it is advisable not to

spin.

To be machine-washed,

woollen garments and other

articles in wool must bear the

“Pure New Wool” mark and the

indication “will not shrink” or

“machine washable”.

IMPORTANT:

When sorting articles

ensure that:

-there are no metal objects

in the washing (e.g.

brooches, safety pins,

pins, coins etc.).

-cushion covers are

buttoned,zips and hooks

are closed, loose belts and

long tapes on dressing

gowns are knotted.

-runners from curtains are

removed.

-attention is paid to

garment labels.

-when sorting, any tough

stains should be removed

with special detergent or

washing cream before

20 21

3 Special Delicate Fibres

This is a new wash cycle which

alternates washing and soaking

and is for very delicate fabrics

such as Pure New Wool. The

wash cycle and rinses are

carried out with high water

levels to ensure best results.

The programme for very

delicate fabrics can be finished

by selecting:

- discharge only or

- delicate spin

The delicate spin programme is

indispensable particularly for

knitwear in order to avoid

stretching during drying.

The first program in each group is the longest and thus ensures the most effective wash at a given temperature.

The other programs should be selected for clothes which are only lightly solied or are particularly delicate.

NOTE:

1. If the wash load is very dirty it is best to reduce the load weight to 3 kg.

2. Programmes 1, 2 have an automatic bleaching option. Simply place the bleaching agent in

the compartment.

3. The washing machine is designed to incorporate fabric softener automatically in the last

rinse of each washing cycle.

RAPID 32 MINUTE PROGRAMME

The rapid 32 minute programme enables a complete washing cycle for a maximum 2

kg wash at a temperature of 50°C to be carried out in 30 minutes. The temperature of

the wash can be reduced via the temperature selector knob.

The soap powder must be loaded into the pre-wash dispenser (compartment I).

The rapid 32 minute programme can also be used as a pre-wash cycle in the case of

a heavily soiled wash, following with the main programme as desired.

24 25

WASHING

VARIABLE CAPACITY

This washing machine has been

designed to try and reduce

environmental contamination

and alleviate existing ecological

problems.

With this in mind, this washing

machine automatically adapts

the water level to the type and

quantity of clothes to be

washed. So it is possible to

obtain a "customised" wash,

even in terms of energy.

This system reduces water and

energy consumption and

provides an appreciable

reduction in wash time.

When only a limited number of

articles have stains which

require treatment with liquid

bleaching agents, preliminary

removal of stains can be carried

out in the washing machine.

Pour the bleach into the special

compartment and set the

knob (A) on the special

programme “ORGANIC

STAINS”. When this phase has

terminated add the rest of the

washing and proceed with a

normal wash on the most

suitable programme.

It is advisable not to wash a

load made up entirely of articles

in towelling fabric which absorb

a lot of water and become too

heavy.

26 27

WATER LEVEL SENSOR

•

The maximum load for heavy

fabrics is 5 kg, while, in the

case of delicate fabrics, it is

advisable not to exceed 2 kg (1

kg in the case of machine

washable articles in “Pure New

Wool”) so as to avoid the

formation of creases which may

be difficult to iron. A net bag

should be used for

particularly delicate fabrics.

ATTENTION:

Read the chapter Description of

the controls for instructions on

how to open and close the

drum.

IMPORTANT:

WHEN SETTING THE

PROGRAMME ENSURE

THAT THE ON/OFF

BUTTON IS NOT TURNED

CLEANING AND

ROUTINE

MAINTENANCE

Do not use abrasives, spirits on

the exterior of the washing-

machine. It is sufficient to use a

damp cloth.

The washing machine requires

very little maintenance:

• Cleaning of drawer

compartments.

• Cleaning the filter.

• Removals or long periods

when the machine is left

standing.

CLEANING OF DRAWER

COMPARTMENTS

It is advisable to clean the four

compartments of the detergent

dispenser from time to time :

prewash, wash, bleach and

fabric conditioner.

In the case of the prewash and

wash compartments it is

advisable to remove any dried.

In remains of detergent which

obstruct the flow of the

detergent to drum.

In the case of the bleach and

fabric conditioner

compartments, the two traps M

should be removed by turning

them 90º anti-clockwise and

pulling up on them.

Remove any solid residue

which could block the holes in

the compartments.

Put everything back into place.

CLEANING THE

FILTER

The washing machine is

equipped with a special filter

which catches large items

which could block the drainage

duct (coins, buttons, etc.). This

means that they can be easily

recovered. When it is necessary

to clean the filter, proceed as

follows:

• Use a basin to collect the

water coming out.

• To open, release the catch

securing the lid.

• Use a screwdriver to loosen

the screw holding the filter in

place.

• Turn the filter anticlockwise as

far as it will go.

• Remove the filter and clean it.

• Once it is clean, replace the

filter by following the above

mentioned procedure in

reverse.

REMOVALS OR LONG

PERIODS WHEN THE

MACHINE IS LEFT STANDING

For eventual removals or when

the machine is left standing for

long periods in unheated

rooms, all the pipes should be

emptied of all remaining water.

The mains switch must be

unplugged. A bowl is needed.

Detach the pipe from the clamp

and lower it over the bowl until

all the water is removed.

Repeat the operation at the

opposite end.
