Stain removal (see page 8)
Thanks to this command, Mar-
gherita will carry out a more in-
tensive wash that optimises the
effectiveness of the liquid
additives, thus allowing more
resistant stains to be removed.
When you press the stain removal
button, you cannot activate the
pre-wash cycle (I).
Prewash
With this button, you can pre-
wash on all programmes except
the wool programme and the
special programmes (see page 4).
If you use this function, you
cannot use the stain removal
button (H).
On-off
When button L is pressed, the
washer-dryer is switched on,
when it is not the machine is
switched off. Turning the
appliance off does not cancel
the selected programme.
On-off lamp / door locked
Lamp M flashes slowly when the
appliance is switched on and
awaiting instructions and at the end
of a cycle, indicating that the door
can be opened. It flashes quickly
when the door should not be
opened. A steady light means the
appliance has accepted the selected
programme.
Drying cycle lamp
When this lamp is on, it means
that knob C has been set on a
drying cycle and at the end of the
wash cycle, the appliance will run
the selected tumble drying cycle.
The washer-dryer is equipped
with extra compartment 4
(provided) for the bleach, to be
inserted in compartment 1.
Programme key
This contains the descriptions of
the wash programmes and the
various functions connected to
the buttons. Pull it outwards to
open it.
Rinse-hold
This button allows you to interrupt
a programme (on symbol )
keeping the washing soaking in
water before the spin cycle. It is a
very useful button in particular
because it can be used for
delicates and synthetics. It is only
to be used with wash programmes
for synthetic fabrics, silk and
curtains when it is impossible for
you to take the washing out
immediately. Before opening the
washing machine door, finish the
wash cycle as follows:
Silk and curtains: press button F
and Margherita will drain the
water.
Synthetic fabrics: press button F
if you want a spin cycle, or turn
knob A to symbol if you want
the water to be drained.
N.B.:
- when setting a drying cycle,
this function is not performed.
- With "Daily wash" or "Hand
wash", this function is not
performed.
Slow spin
Use this button to reduce the
spinning speed from 1200 to 600
rpm for the cotton programmes
and from 850 to 600 rpm for the
synthetic fabrics programmes.
Here I’m in command
Understanding the control panel
Making the right choice is important. And it’s easy.
Margherita’s knobs are hidden. Just
press them lightly in the middle to
extract them.
Programme selector knob
and programmed start
Use this knob to select the wash
programme.
Turn this knob clockwise only.
To select a programme, you
should turn the knob so that the
symbol/number of the desired
programme is in line with the
pointer on the glass O.
Now press on/off button L
(position ON), pilot lamp M will
start flashing.
After 5", the setting will be
accepted, pilot lamp M will stop
flashing (staying lit) and the wash
cycle will begin.
Should you wish to interrupt the
programme in progress or set a
new one, select one of the
symbols (Stop/Reset) and wait
5" : when the cancellation has
been accepted, pilot lamp M
flashes, and you can then turn the
appliance off.
You can use this knob to delay
the appliance's operation.
Select one of the 3 delay time
positions, press the on/off button
L (position ON) and wait 5". The
setting has now been accepted
(pilot lamp M stays lit) and you
can select the programme you
desire.
Pilot lamp M has a particular
flashing motion (2" on and 4"
off) to indicate that a delayed
start has been set.
During this phase, you can open
the appliance door and change
the washing load, should you
wish to do so.
After the wash cycle has been set
and accepted by the washer-
dryer, turning the knob will have
no effect (except for when it is
on position Stop/Reset).
Temperature control knob
It is used to set the wash tempe-
rature indicated in the
programme table. It also allows
you to reduce the temperature
recommended for the selected
programme, and even to set a
cold wash cycle ( ).
Drying cycle knob
Use this knob to select the desired
drying cycle. Two options are
available:
A - Based on time:
From 40 minutes to 150.
B - Based on the damp level of
the dry clothes:
Iron : slightly damp clothes,
easy to iron.
Wardrobe : dry clothes to put
away.
Extra dry : very dry clothes,
recommended for towelling and
bathrobes.
A cooling stage is foreseen at the
end of the drying cycle.

It is divided into three
compartments:
1. Detergent for pre-washing;
