The manufacturer thinks of
you
Because there is nothing more important
for the manufacturer than you, and as we
are always striving to offer you the best
possible service, we have come up with
this Instruction hand book to make you
more familiar with your washing machine.
READ IT CAREFULLY, for it will enable you
to get the most out of your washing machi-
ne and the functions which it has been
designed to carry out, in addition to pre-
venting any possible problems and mal-
functions which could arise out of not
having read this.
Familiarise yourself with your washing
machine
The first thing that you should do is to learn
everything about your washing machine.
On the inside of the cover of this instruction
hand book you will find illustrations. We
would advise you to pay attention to them.
They will undoubtedly help you to unders-
tand the commentary and to get a clear
picture of all of the elements which make
up your machine.
Some words of warning
Installing
The machine must be installed by a QUA-
LIFIED TECHNICIAN in accordance with
current safety specifications. In the owner´s
manual you will find all relevant specific
instructions for the installation process.
Technical specifications table
You will find a Technical specifications
table stuck to your washing machine. It
shows all relevant technical details and
serial numbers of the machine. THIS TABLE
SHOULD BE STUDIED BEFORE ANY ELEC-
TRICAL CONNECTIONS ARE MADE.
Transportation safety features
Before you attempt to use your washing
machine it is absolutely imperative that you
should remove the interior fastening
screws which are for fastening during the
shipping. The installation manual will tell
you how to do this.

Using the selection controls
Programme selection control
This enables you to choose whatever
Washing and Drying programme you wish.
Just turn it clockwise until the indicator
points to the number or letter of the pro-
gramme that you want. Never try to force it
to turn anticlockwise. Any programme can
be chosen for washing (those indicated by
numbers) or for drying (indicated by let-
ters).
If you select cycles 2 or 3 of the Normal
Wash programmes, or cycles 7 or 8 of the
Gentle Wash programmes, you will see that
the Programme Selector Switch moves to
the end of the dotted line in less than 1
minute (see fig. 2A). This is due to the was-
hing machine’s programme advance elec-
tronic control system, which enables better
use of the detergent as well as optimum
water and energy consumption, in accor-
dance with the quantity of laundry to be
washed.
