OPRRATING INSTRUCTIONS
Important: To do first wash without clothes to check the functions. This will clean the drum.
For each wash ensure that:
- The water supply connections are secure, the tap is turned on (Fig12) and the discharge hose is positioned
correctly (Fig. 10-11).
- The programme selector (P) is in the stop position (STOP).
- Then, with dry hands, insert the plug in the power socket (Fig.7).
- Sort the washing into fabric types.
- Check that there are no objects in the pockets of the clothing to wash which may damage the fabric, washing
machine or filter.
- Open the top cover by lifting it (Fig. 13).
- To open the basket hatch, push the red button to disconnect, holding both doors of the hatch with one hand
(Fig. 15).
- Insert the washing. To ensure that the load is evenly balanced when spinning, if possible wash garments of
different sizes but the same type of material in the same load.
Incorrect distribution of the load may mean that the washing machine is unbalanced when spinning.
Close the basket hatch, ensuring that it connects properly, then close the tub cover (if there is one) and load
the detergent as follows:
-* Place detergent for the pre-wash cycle in the compartment marked “
I
”
-* Place detergent for the wash cycle in the compartment marked “
II
”
IMPORTANT: If powdered detergent is used, the green flap inside tray “
II
” must be in an upward position,
for liquid detergent the flap must be pushed down (Fig. 16-B).
-* Softener, bluing or perfume must be placed in the compartment marked “ ”.
-* Bleach must be placed in the compartment marked " ".
N.B. Remember to pull the green flap up when using powdered detergent. When filling with detergent it is
important that each product be placed in its own compartment and does not overflow.
If the detergent spills into the softener compartment, the rinse will be sudsy and laundry could have white spots.
If softener spills in the detergent compartment, washing will be less effective.
CAUTION:
Always use a non-foaming detergent suitable for automatic washing machines.
Ensure that you measure out the correct amount of detergent, following the indications given by the Manufacturer
on the pack.:
- too much detergent might cause excessive foaming and reduce the performance of your washing machine
- too little detergent might result in unsatisfactory results
- Close the top lid, select a suitable program and the correct temperature on the basis of the
program list.
