7.5 USEFUL ADVICE
7. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
7.1 OPERATION
Switch the appliance on by the main cut-off
switch on the wall.
Check that the hot and cold water taps are
open.
Temperatures must be chosen according to
different types of fabrics. See the symbols
normally used in the textile industry, which
are commonly drawn on the labels attached
to fabrics.
Sort the laundry according to the type of
fabric. Press the door opening push button
and load the drum (see also paragraph 7.5).
Fill the appropriate compartments with
washing powder (foam damping type),
according to the cycle to be selected:
compartment I for pre-wash (if envisaged),
compartment II for wash, compartment III
for rinse liquid to be added during the last
rinse (see also paragraph 7.5).
Select the desired number of rinses.
Select the cycle that fits your laundry, then
press the START push -button: the machine
will start working. If your machine is
equipped with coin meter, insert the necessary
coins: the machine will start working.
To operate coin-operated machines:
1. Introduce the laundry.
2. Close the circular door.
3. Choose the desired cycle through the
selector switch
4. Introduce the required number of coins
5. Press the start push button.
At the end of the wash cycle the door opens
automatically.
Note: Before removing the coins from the
coin box, make sure that the main switch is
off.
7.2 OPENING THE DOOR
The door is opened automatically at the end
of each washing cycle.
To open the door normally in the event of
power failure, take the filter lid off, which is
down on the left. Then turn the plastic screw
counterclockwise by the aid of a screwdriver.
Before opening the door make sure that the
drum has come to a complete stop, that the
water has been drained and the temperature
is lower than 40
°
C.
7.3 REMOVE THE LID
To reach the machine electrical parts, take
off the screws fastening the back. Then lift
the rear part of the lid and pull it to the front
by approximately 5 cm.
BEFORE TURNING THE MACHINE
ON BY THE WALL CUTOFF SWITCH,
PUT ALL THE PANELS YOU HAVE
REMOVED BACK IN PLACE.
7.4 WASH PROGRAMS
Three main programmes are available. Each
of them envisages a complete wash routine,
Remember that loading 80% of the rated
capacity provides better wash results.
Mind that more soap does not mean better
wash: on the contrary, using too much
washing powder leads only to unnecessary
pollution. The right amount of soap will be
indicated by your supplier according to the
relevant water hardness.
7.6 WARNING
Do not leave the machine on to no purpose.
TURN the main switch OFF when the ma-
chine is not being used.
During use:
- Open the door only when the drum is still
and drained.
- In case of power failure, open the door by
the manual puller on the top side.
Before opening the door make sure that the
drum has come to a complete stop, that the
water has been drained and the temperature
is lower than 40
°
C.
- Before any maintenance or cleaning ope-
ration, check that the wall cut-off switch is
off and the hot water and cold water taps are
closed.
- Do not load fabrics that have been cleaned,
dampened, washed or stained with inflam-
mable or explosive substances. Otherwise,
hand-wash them first.
- Keep inflammable liquids far from the
washing machine, in a dry and ventilated
spot, out of the reach of outsiders.
- Keep cleaning products and washing pow-
der far from the machine, if possible, closed
