USEFUL TIPS
•
Make sure the drain handle is in the
●
position (See
drawing 2)
•
Fill the tub to the desired level. Remember, never fill to below
the low water mark, even for small loads, or above the high
water mark for 2 kg of laundry. Your washing machine has an
overflow system in case you forget to turn off the water (See
drawing 5 for all models except Model 50.40: Drawing 7
No. 24).
•
Add detergent: Use one to two cups depending on the size of
the load and condition of items to be washed.
•
If you have more than 2 kg of laundry, always wash in several
loads rather than overloading the machine. Your clothes will
come out cleaner.
CAUTION:
If you live near a beach, avoid putting sandy clothes in the
machine. Rinse the tub and washing unit regularly to remove
any sand before it can damage your washing machine.
STARTING THE WASHING MACHINE
•
Model 50.24 and 50.33 Alternatic
Turn the timer button (16) in the direction shown by the arrow
until the motor starts.
In case of error, never turn the knob back. Turn it one full
turn and start again.
•
Model 50.27 and 50.33 Programmer Alternatic
Set the programmer button (16) to pre-wash and the machine
will start automatically.
The programmer knob may be turned forward or backward.
•
Model 50.40 Tropical Alternatic
Switch on the heater. Once the water has reached the desired
temperature, turn the timer button in the direction of the arrow
and the machine will start automatically.
In case of error, never turn the knob back. Turn it one full
turn and start again.
•
Put the items of laundry into the tub one by one. Each item
should be completely submerged.
Close the washing machine lid (D).
Note:
If you want to interrupt the washing cycle, rotate the knob to
the 0 position. The machine may not stop immediately. The
motor may continue operating for up to 20 seconds to complete
a cycle.
PROGRAMMING THE WASH CYCLE
•
Model 50.23, 50.33 and 50.40
- Turn the timer until the desired number of minutes of washing
time is displayed on the timer display (15).
- The machine will stop automatically after the selected
washing time. There is no need to keep track of the time, but it
is not advisable to leave your machine completely unsupervi-
sed.
- Make sure nothing interferes with operation of the washing
unit until you hear the click of the timer, which stops the motor
after the selected washing time.
•
Model 50.27
- Select the desired washing cycle (1, 2 or 3) and start the
machine.
- You can stop the machine at any time. If you want to perform
all three cycles in order, the machine will operate automatically
for 17 minutes. After the end of the program, you will be able to
drain the machine manually.
•
You should drain the machine before you rinse your laundry.
You may start the rinse function when:
•
Models 50.23, 50.24 and 50.33: The wash cycle is
completed (the timer has clicked)
•
Model 50.27: The knob is on the manual drain position
•
