The first wash cycle
Programmes
Once the appliance has been installed, and before you use it for the first time, run a wash cycle with detergent and no laundry, setting the 90°C programme without a pre-wash cycle.
Detergents
We advise against the use of hose extensions; in case of absolute need, the extension must have the same diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 150 cm in length.

Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket, make sure that: the socket is earthed and in compliance with the applicable law; the socket is able to sustain the appliance's maximum power load indicated in the Technical details table (on the right); the supply voltage is included within the values i ndicated on the Technical details table (on the right); the socket is compatible with the washing machine's plug. If this is not the case, replace the socket or the plug.

programme 3; temperature 60°C; run with a load of 5 kg. This appliance is compliant with the following European Community Directives: - 73/23/CEE of 19/02/73 (Low Voltage) and subsequent amendments - 89/336/CEE of 03/05/89 (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and subsequent amendments
The washing machine should not be installed in an outdoor environment, not even when the area is sheltered, because it may be very dangerous to leave it exposed to rain and thunderstorms.

Notes For the anti-crease function: see Easy iron, opposite page. Special programme Daily 30' (programme 9 for Synthetics) is designed to wash lightly soiled garments in a short amount of time: it only lasts 30 minutes and allows you to save on both time and energy. By setting this programme (9 at 30°C), you can wash different fabrics together (except for woollen and silk items), with a maximum load of 3 kg. We recommend the use of liquid detergent.

Setting the temperature
GB
Installation
Turn the TEMPERATURE knob to set the wash temperature (see Programme table on page 6). The temperature can be lowered, or even set to a cold wash ( ).
To avoid excessive vibrations, before every spin cycle the machine distributes the load in a uniform manner by continuously rotating the drum at a speed which is slightly faster than the normal washing speed. When, despite repeated attempts, the load is still not evenly distributed, the machine spins at a lower speed than the set frequency. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the machine attempts to distribute it instead of spinning. The balancing attempts may extend the total duration of the cycle, up to a maximum of 10 minutes.
Description Programmes
Functions
To enable a function: 1. press the button corresponding to the desired function, according to the table below; 2. A full load instead of two half loads allows you to save up to 50% on energy. Avoiding it will save on detergent, time, water and between 5 and 15% energy. Treating stains with a stain remover or leaving them to soak before washing will cut down the need to wash them at high temperatures. A programme at 60°C instead of 90°C or one at 40°C instead of 60°C will save up to 50% on energy. Use the correct quantity of detergent depending on the water hardness, how soiled the garments are and the amount of laundry you have, to avoid wastage and to protect the environment: despite being biodegradable, detergents do contain ingredients that alter the natural balance of the environment. If you use your washing machine from late in the afternoon until the early hours of the morning, you will help reduce the electricity board's peak load. If your laundry has to be dried in a tumble dryer, select a high spin speed. Having the least water possible in your laundry will save you time and energy in the drying process.

Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water or electricity supply
Turn off the water tap after every wash. This will limit the wear of your appliance's water system and also prevent leaks. Unplug your appliance when cleaning it and during all maintenance operations.
Make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug the appliance.
To recover any objects that have fallen into the prechamber: 1. remove the plinth at the bottom on the front side of the washing machine by pulling from the side with your hands (see diagram); (see figure); 2. [. . . ] The START/RESET button has not been pressed.
Description
The washing machine fails to load water.
Programmes
The washing machine continuously loads and unloads water.
The drain hose is not fitted between 65 and 100 cm from the floor (see page 3). If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water tap, switch the appliance off and call for Assistance. If the dwelling is on one of the upper floors of a building, there may be drain trap problems causing the washing machine to load and unload water continuously. In order to avoid such an inconvenience, special anti-drain trap valves are available in shops. [. . . ]
