Transport damages

When unpacking the appliance, check that it is not

damaged. If in doubt, do not use it and contact the

Service Centre.

ENGLISH

Installation

• All internal packing must be removed before using

the appliance. Serious damage may be caused to

the machine or adjacent furniture if the protective

transit devices are not removed or are not

completely removed. Refer to the relevant

paragraph in the instruction book.

• Any electrical work required to install this

appliance must be carried out by a qualified

electrician.

• Any plumbing work required to install this

appliance must be carried out by a qualified

plumber.

• After having installed the machine, check that it is

not standing on its electrical supply cable.

• If the appliance is placed on a carpeted floor,

ensure that air can circulate freely between the

feet and the floor.

Use

• This appliance is designed for domestic use. It

must not be used for purposes other than those

for which it was designed.

• Only wash fabrics which are designed to be

machine washed. Follow the instructions on each

garment label.

• Do not overload the appliance. Follow the

instructions in the instruction book.

• Make sure that all pockets are empty. Objects

such as coins, safety pins, pins and screws can

cause extensive damage.

• Do not machine wash garments saturated with

petroleum, methylated spirits, trichlorethylene, etc.

If such fluids have been used to remove stains

prior to washing, wait until they have completely

evaporated from the fabric before placing

garments in the appliance.

• Place small items such as socks, belts, etc. in a

cloth bag or pillowcase to prevent them getting

trapped between the drum and the tub.

Warnings

• Use only the recommended quantities of fabric

softener. An excessive amount could damage the

laundry.

• Leave the porthole door slightly ajar when the

appliance is not in use. This preserves the door

seal and prevents the formation of musty smells.

plug from the socket; always take hold of the plug

itself.

• During high temperature wash programmes the

door glass may get hot. Do not touch it!

Child safety

• Children are often not aware of how dangerous

electrical appliances can be. When the machine is

working, children should be carefully supervised

and not be allowed to play with the appliance.

• The packaging components (e.g. plastic film,

polystyrene) can be dangerous to children - danger

of suffocation! Keep them out of children’s reach.

• Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children’s

reach.

• 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

inside while playing.

The following warnings are provided in the interests of overall safety. You must read them carefully

before installing or using the appliance.

ENGLISH

Unpacking

All transit bolts and packing must be

removed before using the appliance.

You are advised to keep all transit devices so that they

can be refitted if the machine ever has to be transported

again.

1. Using a spanner, unscrew and remove the two

rear bottom screws. Slide out the two plastic pins.

Lay the machine on its back, taking care not to

squash the hoses. This can be avoided by placing

one of the corner packing pieces between the

machine and the floor

2. Remove the polystyrene block(s) from the bottom

of the machine and release the two plastic bags.

3. Very carefully slide out the left polythene bag,

removing it towards the right and then

downwards.

4. Very carefully slide out the right polythene bag,

removing it towards

the left and then upwards.

Remove the bottom cover placed into the drum of

your appliance, lay it’s hook as the arrow ’A’

indicates and push the top of the cover to seal it

closed

Important: You can find more detailed instructions

regarding the bottom cover assembling in it’s relative

bag.

5. Set the machine upright and remove the

remaining rear screw. Slide out the relevant pin.

6. Plug all the holes with the plugs which you will

find in the envelope containing the instruction

manual.

Positioning

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 cupboard

units. Carefully level by screwing the adjustable

feet in or out. Never place cardboard, wood or

similar materials under the machine to

compensate for any unevenness in the floor.

Water inlet

Connect the water inlet hose to a tap with 3/4” BSP

thread.

Use the hose supplied with the washing machine.

DO NOT USE OLD HOSES.

The other end of the inlet hose which connects to the

machine can be turned in any direction. Simply

loosen the fitting, rotate the hose and retighten the

fitting, making sure there are no water leaks.

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

designed for this type of use.

Water drainage

The 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.

In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must be

above the trap so that the bend is at least 60 cm

above the ground.

Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less

than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm.

The end of the drain hose must always be

ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain pipe

must be larger than the outside diameter of the drain

hose.

The drain hose must not be kinked. Run it along the

floor; only the part near the drainage point must be

raised.

For the correct functioning of the machine the

drain hose must remain hooked on the proper

support piece situated on the top part of back

side of the appliance

P0023

P0022

Electrical connection

This machine is designed to operate on a 220-240 V,

single-phase, 50 Hz supply.

Check that your domestic electrical installation can

take the maximum load required (2.2 kW), also

taking into account any other appliances 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 must be carried out

by our Service Centre.

Important!

When the appliance is installed the power supply

cable must be easily accessible.

Washing hints

Sorting the laundry

Follow the wash code symbols on each garment

label and the manufacturer’s washing instructions.

Sort the laundry as follows:

whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.

Temperatures

90°- 95° for normally soiled white cottons and linen

(e.g. tea cloths, towels, tablecloths,

sheets...)

50°- 60° for normally soiled, colour fast garments

(e.g. shirts, night dresses, pyjamas....) in

linen, cotton or synthetic fibres and for

lightly soiled white cotton (e.g. underwear).

(cold) for delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed

30°- 40° laundry including synthetic fibres and

woollens bearing the label «pure new

wool, machine washable, non-shrink».

Before loading the laundry

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.

Make sure that no metal objects are left in the

laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).

Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks

and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.

Remove persistent stains before washing. Rub

particularly soiled areas with a special detergent or

detergent paste.

Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or tie

them up in a bag or net.

Maximum loads

Recommended loads 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.

Laundry weights

The following weights are indicative:

bathrobe 1200 g

napkin 100 g

quilt cover 700 g

sheet 500 g

pillow case 200 g

tablecloth 250 g

towels 200 g

tea cloth 100 g

night dress 200 g

ladies’ briefs 100 g

man’s work shirt 600 g

man’s shirt 200 g

man’s pyjamas 500 g

blouse 100 g

men’s underpants 100 g

Removing stains

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

removing 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.

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 benzene, then rub with detergent paste.

(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk.

Detergents and additives

Good 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.

Only low suds frontload washing detergent should

be used in this appliance:

– powder detergents for all types of fabric,

– powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C max)

and woollens,

– liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature

wash programmes (60°C 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 before starting the wash programme.

If using concentrated powder or liquid detergents, a

programme without prewash must be selected.

The washing machine incorporates a recirculation

system which allows an optimal use of the

concentrated detergent.

Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer

compartment marked just before starting the

programme.

Any fabric softener or starching additives must be

poured into the compartment marked before

starting the wash programme.

Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations

on quantities to use and do not exceed the «MAX»

mark in the detergent dispenser drawer.

Quantity of detergent to be used

The type and quantity of detergent will depend on

the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and

hardness of the water used.

Water hardness is classified in so-called “degrees” 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 manufacturers’ instructions on

quantities to use.

Use less detergent if:

– you are washing a small load,

– the laundry is lightly soiled,

– large amounts of foam form during washing.

bleed colour into another load of laundry.

disconnect the plug from the socket.
