Quick guide to

Margherita

1.

 

Installation and removal (p. 11)

Installation, after delivery or transport, is the most important

operation for the correct functioning of your Margherita washer-dryer.

Always check:

1.

That the electric system complies with the law;

2.

That the inlet and draining pipes are connected correctly.

Never use hoses that have already been used, always use

the new ones provided with your machine.

3.

That the washer-dryer is levelled properly; something worth

checking for the life of your washer-dryer and the quality of

your wash;

4.

That the drum's fixing screws have been removed from the back

of the washer-dryer.

2.

What goes in your washer-dryer and how

to start it (p. 2)

A correct distribution of your laundry is vital to both the successful

outcome of the wash and the life of the washer-dryer. Learn all the

tips and secrets to dividing your linen: colour, type of fabric and

tendency of creating fuzz are the most important criteria.

3.

 

Guide to understanding labels (p. 6)

The symbols on the labels of your garments are easy to understand

and equally important for the success of your wash. The guide

includes simple instructions to help you choose the right tempera-

ture, wash cycles and ironing methods.

4.

 

Useful tips to avoid mistakes (p. 7)

Yeras back, our grandmothers were the ones who gave us good advice

- and in those days synthetic fibres did not exist: washing was easy.

Today, Margherita offers you helpful advice allowing you to wash

cashmere and wool even better than an expert laundress would by

hand.

5.

Understanding the control panel (p. 3)

Margherita’s control panel is very simple. It has only a few essential

buttons to help you choose any type of wash cycle, ranging from the

most energetic, capable of cleaning a mechanic’s overalls, to the

most delicate for cashmere. Familiarising with it will help you get

the best out of your wash while helping your washer-dryer last longer.

It’s easy.

7.

  Guide to Margherita’s programmes (p. 4)
