DISPOSAL OF PACKAGING
The packaging has the purpose to protect ap-
pliance from damage that might occur during
the transportation. The materials used for pack-
aging are recyclable, so selected on the basis
of respect for the environment and ease of dis-
posal with aim of material reintegration to the
production cycles. This mechanism allows on
one hand to reduce the volume of waste, while
the other it makes possible for a more rational
usage of nonrenewable resources.
Disposal of waste electrical and electronic
equipment (WEEE)
In pursuant to the legislative Decree of July 25,
2005, No. 151 in implementation of Directives
2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC and 2003/108/EC on
the disposal of electrical and electronic waste:
the crossed waste bin symbol indicates that the
at end of the product life span, it must be dis-
posed separately from other waste.
Users must dispose of the appliance in ques-
tion at suitable recycling centres for electron-
ic and electrical waste or take it to the dealer
when buying a new equivalent appliance, on a
one to one bases.
The adequate differential collection for the sub-
sequent forwarding of recycling, treatment and
environmentally compatible disposal helps to
prevent negative impact on the environment
and health. It promotes the recycling of materi-
als from the appliance.

PRECAUTIONS AND ADVICE
WASHING RECOMMENDATIONS
Do not allow children or disabled to use the
washing machine without supervision.
Do not allow children to play with the
washing machine.
Load the drum within the limits indicated in
the initial pages.
For each fabric it is important to follow the
washing instructions on the label.
Make sure that there are no coins, pins, etc
in the pockets of clothes for washing.
Refrain from the use of petrol, alcohol,
trichlorethylene, etc on fabrics intended for
machine washing.
It is advisable to collect the laundry of small
dimensions, such as socks, belts, etc in a
canvas bag, so as to avoid them been stuck
to the drum.
Use fabric softener within the maximum
allowable limit as an excessive amount
could damage the laundry.
When machine turned off, leave the door
ajar for the better preservation of the seal
and preventing musty odours.
Before opening the door always check that
the water has been drained.
Always close the water tap when the
machine is turned off.
Remove the power plug when the machine
is not used for long periods.
SELECTION OF LAUNDRY
For proper washing, laundry has to belong to
only one of the following types:
White
Coloured
Synthetics
Delicate
Wool
In particular it must be considered that:
the white laundries lose their whiteness
if they are washed with coloured fabrics;
the new coloured clothes usually fade
washed with other laundries.
It is also important to follow the
suggestions for washing indicated
on the labels of every individual

DOOR GASKET
When washing some objects from over-folded
clothes, or not removed from the laundry (paper
clips, buttons, nails, pins) can break off and
settle in the folds of the door gasket. It is a
good habit to check the folds of the door gasket
and remove any foreign objects which with time
could cause serious problems to the washing
machine.
Before closing the door make sure
that there is no piece of laundry on of
the door gasket. This could damage
it. Close the porthole with a slight
thrust.
DETERGENT AND SOFTENER
DOSAGE
For each wash cycle the optimal amount of
detergent must be determined by the degree
of dirt, number of laundry and water hardness.
In any type of washing, the detergent must be
placed in the central compartment (marked II).
DOOR CLOSURE
Where there will be prewash, detergent must
be deposited in the compartment on the left
side (marked I).
The basin on the right is used for fabric softener.
The dose of the latter should not exceed the
“MAX” mark.
LIQUID OR POWDERED DETERGENT
PARTITION PLATE
To change the use of the detergent from

Withe prewash programme
Do not use liquid detergent if the wash
cycle does not start immediately.
In such cases use the plate in the “UP” position.
DETERGENT POWDER
Detergent powder is more aggressive than
the liquid and undoubtedly less advanced
in some respects. It is prepared usually with
components rather strong; The manufactureres
also through particular substances (enzymes)
which destroys the dirt detaching from the
laundry, but does exert any abrasion on the
fabric. The laundry washed with detergent
powder, when dry, is rather rough and dry
because of these aggressive substances that
harden the fabrics. This requires generally
rinsed with fabric softener. Furthermore, the
enzymes may cause allergies in some sensitive
people. Not to mention that the powders
less soluble in this type of detergent can
be deposited in the tank and in the drainage
system, causing the incrustation of the tubes
with all the ensuing problems. On the other
hand it is the only detergent that ensures to get
a pure white due to sodium perborate, a strong
and aggressive whitening agent, effective even
at low temperatures (refer to the labeling and
the degree of dirt).
Recommended temperature 30°C - 90°C
LIQUID DETERGENTS
The liquid detergent is undoubtedly the most
modern and possesses superior cleaning
features. Being less alkaline it preserves
the quality of the fabrics Although it does not
contain abrasive substances however it cleans
nested dirt. Thus, in contrast to the detergent
powder, it cleans without hardening the laundry
residue that drying becomes hard. The laundry
is more soft and therefore require less fabric
softener. Furthermore, the liquid detergent
does not leave any type of solid residues inside
the washing machine and in the drainage
system, eliminating the long standing problem
of incrustation and ruining of the tubes. The
manufactureres well also in cold and is ideal for
coloured clothes because it does not interact
with the fabric colours, rather the colour is
preserved and protected with time. It should
be used within temperature range of 0°C and
90°C. The temperature depends on the fabric
(refer to the labelling and by grade of dirt)

PAUSING WASHING
It is possible to stop the wash cycle by pressing
the Start/Pause button. The machine will go to
standby mode. If there is a need to change the
programme, the knob No. 1 must be turned to
OFF position before selecting new programme.
At the end of the wash cycle, the red LED turns
off and the door can be opened only if the drum
is not empty of water.
LOADING LAUNDRY INTO THE DRUM
For proper washing, it is necessary to load the
drum possibly with loose laundry one at a time.
This is to prevent nodes. The washing

data table page 2), puts strain on the ‘reliability
of the washing machine and generates more

only at temperatures above 50°C, as in the
liquid detergent there is no sodium perborate,

only beyond a certain temperature.
Recommended temperature cold - 90°C
SOFTENER
The softener is very high concentrate, which

with water, 50% and more. It facilitates ironing
of clothes washed.
The fragrances are due to different essences
added to the detergent and do not in any way
impair the ability of cleaning product.
DETERGENT DOSES
The doses vary depending on the type of water:
with hard or averagely hard water it takes a
greater amount of product compared to that
soft water, as is typically printed on the label of
the various products. In general, using quality
products, very little quantity of detergent would
be enough, and to always use 20% less than
usual can not go wrong!
STARTING WASHING PROGRAMME
1. To start the washing program turn the
programme selection knob onto the desired
programme.
Evaluate the opportunity to customise
the washing programme by adjusting the
temperature with the knob No. 2, the spin
(button 6) or selecting one or at most 2 of the
special functions provided.
STARTING WASHING
After the steps above washing can be started
