have fun: you will discover many secret ways to get a better
wash, more easily and making your washing machine last longer.

Quick guide

1. 

Installation and removal (p. 10)

Installation, after delivery or transport, is the most important operation
for the correct functioning of your washing machine. Always check:
1. That the electric system conforms to regulations;
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 washing machine is levelled properly; something

worth checking to aid the performance of your
washing machine;

4. That the drum's fixing screws have been removed from

the  back of the washing machine;

2.

What goes in your washing machine and how

to start it (p. 2)

A correct distribution of your laundry is vital to the successful
outcome of the wash and the life of the washing machine. Learn all
the tips and secrets to dividing your linen: colour, type of fabric.

3.

 

Guide to understanding labels (p. 5)

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. 6)

Years back, our grandmothers were the ones who gave us good
advice - and in those days synthetic fibres did not exist: washing
was easy. Today, your washing machine offers you helpful advice
allowing you to wash wool even better than an expert laundress
would by hand.

5.

 

The detergent dispenser (p. 7)

How to use the detergent dispenser and the bleach compartment.

Understanding the control panel (p. 3 and 4)

Washing machine’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 wool. Familiarising yourself with it
will help you get the best out of your wash while helping your
washing machine last longer. It’s easy.

Guide to the wash programmes (p. 4)
