•

Turn off the water inlet tap after each wash.

•

The manufacturer fits all the machines with an earth

connection.

Ensure that the electrical installation has an earth connection

and that it is connected; if not, call for service.

The earth connection is essential for user safety as

it eliminates the risk of electrical discharge.

•

If the electric cable is damaged replace with an original set

(cable and plug) supplied by the manufacturer or official

after-sales service.

The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any damage

to people or things resulting from the failure to comply

with the appliance’s installation and safety regulations.

•

Do not touch the appliance with wet or damp hands or feet.

•

Do not use the appliance when bare-footed.

•

Extreme care should be taken if extension leads are used

in bathrooms or shower rooms. Avoid this where possible.

•

SETTING UP – INSTALLATION

•

IMPORTANT: DO NOT TURN THE TAP ON

•

Connect the washing machine to the water mains via the

new tube supplied inside the drum. Do not use the old tube.

•

Connect one end of the water inlet pipe to the electrovalve

(top rear part of the machine) and the other to a tap or a

permanently plumbed-in _” threaded connection.

•

Position the washing machine next to the wall. Hook the

outlet pipe to the edge of the bath tub, ensuring that there

are no bends along the tube. It is better to connect the outlet

tube to a fixed outlet of a diameter greater than that of the

outlet pipe and at a height of min. 50 cm. and a maximum of

75 cm. from floor.

If necessary, use the curved accessory to attach and

support the water drainage pipe more securely.

If your model offers this function:

•

To move the washing machine easily, turn the lever to the

right. Once you have finished moving the machine, return

the lever to its original position.

•

Level the machine by adjusting the front feet.

a)Turn the nut in a clockwise direction to release the

foot’s screw adjuster.

b) Raise or lower the foot by rotating it until it stands firmly

on the floor.

c)Lock the foot in position by turning the nut in an

anticlockwise direction until it comes up against the bottom

of the machine.

Check that the appliance is properly levelled. To do so, try

and move the washing machine by pushing on two diagonally

opposite top corners at the same time to see if it rocks.

•

If you move your washing machine from one place to another,

you must level the feet again afterwards.

•

Connect the machine.

•

It is advisable to clean the four compartments of the

detergent dispenser (prewash, wash, bleach and fabric

conditioner) from time to time. To do this, remove the

detergent dispenser from its slot.

•

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 the drum.

•

In the case of the bleach and fabric conditioner

compartments, the two traps (M) should be removed by

turning them 90º anticlockwise and pulling them out.

Remove any solid residue which could block the holes in

the compartments.

•

Put everything back into place.

USEFUL ADVICE

When loading a wash, we recommend that you:

• Sort your washing according to COLOUR, DIRTINESS, and DELICACY.

• For delicate items we recommend the use of a protective net.

• Empty all pockets and ensure that they do not contain metal objects (paperclips, safety

pins, pins, coins, etc.).

• Fasten pillow slips and cushion coverings, close all zips and fastenings and tie any loose

ribbons or belts.

• Remove all runners (metal and plastic) from curtains and net curtains. We recommend

that the ribbon be gathered into a ball and tied with its own string.

• If you notice any stains, remove them with a special detergent or appropriate cleaning

agent.

• Unfold all items to be washed.

• Place them in the drum one by one.

• Be careful not to exceed the recommended weight for each programme.

• When washing rugs, bedspreads and large, absorbent items, avoid spinning by pressing

the spin exclusion button.

• In order to be able to wash woollens in the washing machine they must carry the “Pure

New Wool” symbol as well as the information “does not shrink” or “machine washable”.

• If possible, do not wash towels all together. Mix them with your regular washing.

• Ensure that no item becomes trapped between the drum shutters.

•

LABEL SYMBOLS

Labels are usually sown into the collar or side seams. The symbols which appear on

them indicate the following:

• Maximum WASH temperature.

• Appropriate washing methods.

• Appropriate products.

• How to care for your garment.

• Appropriate ironing methods and temperatures.

The symbols are as follows:

WASH

Washing instructions always appear as a basin with different indications:

• Do not wash.

• Can be washed both by hand or in the washing machine. The figures in the basin

indicate the maximum wash temperature.

• Hand wash only.

When the hand is half submerged in the water, this means that the item should be

handled gently during washing. If it is fully submerged in the water, this means that

the garment should only be washed by hand.

•The line under the basin means that the item should be washed on a

gentle cycle.

• Do not spin.

BLEACH

Bleach is widely used to whiten fabrics, although in some cases it can cause irreparable

damage. There are various symbols which refer to its use.

• Bleach can be used.

• Do not bleach.

IRONING

• Iron at a high temperature. Max. 220º C. You can use steam or a damp cloth.

Suitable for hard-wearing fabrics such as cotton or linen.

• Do not exceed 150º C. You can use steam or a damp cloth. This symbol appears

on items made from wool or polyester.

• Iron at a low temperature. Approx. 110º C. This is usual for delicate fabrics such as

rayon, silk and acrylic acetate, etc.

• Do not iron.

TUMBLE DRYING

• Can be tumble dried. Do not confuse this symbol with the simple circle which

indicates that the item should be dry cleaned.

• Do not tumble dry.

• Hang to dry.

• Do not wring. Should be hung to dry immediately after washing.

• Spread over a horizontal surface to dry. Do not hang.

DRY CLEANING

• Dry clean only. The letters indicate the different solvents that can be used. An “A”

indicates that normal solvents can be used. Other letters indicate professional

solvents.

• Do not wash in an way.

•

REMOVING STAINS

On occasions, certain stains do not disappear after a simple wash cycle. The following is

a list of special treatments which you can try before washing your clothes in the washing

machine.

Pen and biro marks: rub with a cloth soaked in alcohol.

Candle wax: cover the stains with a piece of absorbent paper and iron at the highest

temperature suitable for the fabric. Repeat if necessary.

Resin, fat and face cream: clean with a petrol-based stain remover and then wash

as normal.

Tar: rub with butter and leave for a short period before washing as normal.

Blood, milk and egg: soak in cold water and then wash with a enzymatic detergent

at a temperature of between 50º and 60º, always supposing that the item can be

washed at these temperatures.

Fruit, coffee and wine: these stains usually come out after a few washes.

Fabric Conditioner: The improper or excessive use of conditioner can stain fabrics.

Remove stains with concentrated detergent and bleach, providing the fabric and

colour permit.

In the event of a particularly stubborn or critical stain, consult a professional. In any

case, NEVER USE CHEMICAL PRODUCTS IN THIS MACHINE.
