USING THE WASHING MACHINE
Warning: Before proceeding with the first wash, carry out a brief wash cycle with the
spin drum empty. This will allow the operation of the machine to be checked
and will clean the spinner.
Before each wash, always follow the procedure listed below:
1. Check that the water connections are correctly fitted and tight: the water feed valve
must be open and the water drain pipe must be correctly positioned [see chapter on
installation and figures 4 - 7]
2. Check that the programme dial is in the
STOP
position
3. With dry hands, insert the plug in the mains socket.
4. Sort the washing, dividing it into fabric types (check with the manufacturer’s symbol
on the garment)
5. Before loading the clothes in the washing machine, check that:
−
the pockets are empty,
−
loose or unthreaded seams have been repaired,
−
zips, belts, buckles and hooks are closed
−
any stains have been previously treated.
6. Open the washing machine door.
7. Load the washing in the drum and close the door.
Warning: Do not overload the washing machine. It is inadvisable to wash items, such as
mats for example, which absorb a large quantity of water.
8. Place a low-suds detergents in the special dispenser compartment. Add a liquid
softener, again in the correct compartment. Use a softener designed for use in auto-
matic washing machines (see chapter “Use of detergents”)

WARNING !! Do not remove the container from the dispenser during the wash cycle as this
will cause water to spill out.

11. Set the required programme and temperature on dials 10 and 9. Set the spin rpm on
dial or button 3

past the required programme setting by mistake, do not go back but continue
turning the dial clockwise until the required position is reached.
12. Start the machine by pulling the programmer knob, or if the machine has push-but-
ton, press the start push-button . The indicator light will be illuminated.
13. At the end of the wash programme, the washing machine will stop on one of the
STOP positions of the programmer.
If need be, the machine can be stopped at any time during the wash cycle by press-
ing the on/off button or by pressing dial (10).
14. The washing machine door can be opened one minute after the end of the
wash cycle or after pressing the main on/off button
