Any plumbing work required to install this  
appliance must be carried out by a qualified  
plumber.  
Always unplug the appliance and shut the  
water tap after use.  
After having installed the machine, check that  
it is not standing on its electrical supply cable.  
Service/repair  
If the appliance is placed on a carpeted floor,  
ensure that air can circulate freely between  
the adjustable feet and the floor.  
In the event of a fault, do not attempt to repair  
the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by  
inexperienced persons may cause damage.  
If repairs are needed, contact an authorised  
service centre and ask for genuine spare  
parts.

Water inlet  
Connect the water inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4"  
thread after having inserted the small filter “A”  
supplied with the machine.  
The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too  
short and you do not wish to move the tap, you  
will have to purchase a new, longer hose  
specially designed for this type of use.  
A
The other end of the inlet hose which connects to  
the machine can be turned in any direction.  
Simply loosen the fitting, rotate the hose and  
retighten the fitting, making sure there are no  
water leaks.  
P0003  
P0021  
Water drainage  
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in  
three ways:  
Hooked over the edge of a sink using the  
plastic hose guide supplied with the machine.  
In this case, make sure the end cannot come  
unhooked when the machine is emptying.  
This could be done by tying it to the tap with a  
piece of string or attaching it to the wall.  
P0022  
In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must  
be above the trap so that the bend is at least  
60 cm above the ground.  
Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less  
than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm.  
The end of the drain hose must always be  
ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain  
pipe must be larger than the outside diameter of  
the drain hose.  
The drain hose must not be kinked. Run it along  
the floor; only the part near the drainage point  
must be raised.  
P0023  
Electrical connection  
This machine is designed to operate on a 220-  
230 V, single-phase, 50 Hz supply.  
Check that your domestic electrical installation  
can take the maximum load required (2.2 kW),  
also taking into account any other appliances in  
use.  
Connect the machine to an earthed socket.  
The manufacturer declines any  
responsibility for damage or injury  
through failure to comply with the above  
safety precaution.

Removing stains  
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just  
water and detergent. It is therefore advisable to  
treat them prior to washing.  
Before loading the laundry  
Never wash whites and coloureds together.  
Whites may lose their “whiteness” in the wash.  
Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For  
dried stains, soak overnight in water with a  
special detergent then rub in the soap and water.  
New coloured items may run in the first wash;  
they should therefore be washed separately the  
first time.  
Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain  
remover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab  
the stain; treat several times.  
Make sure that no metal objects are left in the  
laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).  
Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks  
and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.  
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine,  
lay the garment on a soft surface and dab the  
stain with the fingertips and a cotton cloth.  
Remove persistent stains before washing. Rub  
particularly soiled areas with a special detergent  
or detergent paste.  
Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust  
removing product used cold. Be careful with rust  
stains which are not recent since the cellulose  
structure will already have been damaged and  
the fabric tends to hole.  
Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks  
or tie them up in a bag or net.  
Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well  
(whites and fast coloureds only).  
Maximum loads  
Recommended loads are indicated in the  
programme charts.  
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites  
and fast coloureds only).  
General rules:  
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone  
(*), lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the  
stain.  
cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed  
synthetics: drum no more than half full  
29  
 
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then  
treat stains with methylated spirits. Remove any  
residual marks from white fabrics with bleach.  
Quantity of detergent to be used  
The type and quantity of detergent will depend on  
the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and  
hardness of the water used.  
Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse  
and treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse.  
Treat any residual marks with bleach.  
Water hardness is classified in so-called  
“degrees” of hardness. Information on hardness  
of the water in your area can be obtained from  
the relevant water supply company, or from your  
local authority.  
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the  
fabric first with acetone (*), then with acetic acid;  
treat any residual marks on white fabrics with  
bleach and then rinse thoroughly.  
Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on  
quantities to use.  
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover,  
methylated spirits or benzine, then rub with  
detergent paste.  
Use less detergent if:  
– you are washing a small load  
– the laundry is lightly soiled  
(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk  
– large amounts of foam form during washing.  
Detergents and additives  
Good washing results also depend on the choice  
of detergent and use of the correct quantities to  
avoid waste and protect the environment.  
Although biodegradable, detergents contain  
substances which, in large quantities, can upset  
the delicate balance of nature.
