Should the appliance be sold, transferred or moved, make sure the instruction manual accompanies the washing machine to inform the new owner as to its operation and features. Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital information on installation, use and safety. Levelling your appliance correctly will provide it with stability and avoid any vibrations, noise and shifting during operation. If it is placed on a fitted or loose carpet, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow enough room for ventilation beneath the washing machine. Unpacking and levelling Unpacking Electric and water connections Connecting the water inlet hose 1. Unpack the washing machine. 2. Check whether the washing machine has been damaged during transport. If this is the case, do not install it and contact your retailer. 3. Remove the 3 protective screws and the rubber washer with the respective spacer, situated on the rear of the appliance (see figure). A 1. Insert seal A into the end of the inlet hose and screw the latter onto a cold water tap with a 3/4 gas threaded mouth (see figure). Before making the connection, allow the water to run freely until it is perfectly clear. 2. Connect the other end of the water inlet hose to the washing machine, screwing it onto the appliance's cold water inlet, situated on the top right-hand side on the rear of the appliance (see figure). 4. Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided. 5. Keep all the parts: you will need them again if the washing machine needs to be moved to another location. Packaging materials are not children's toys. Levelling 3. Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the hose. The water pressure at the tap must be within the values indicated in the Technical details table (on the next page). 1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor, without resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or other. 2. If the floor is not perfectly level, compensate for any unevenness by tightening or loosening the adjustable front feet (see figure); the angle of inclination, measured according to the worktop, must not exceed 2°. If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised serviceman. 14 Connecting the drain hose Do not use extensions or multiple sockets. Connect the drain hose, without bending it, to a draining duct or a wall drain situated between 65 and 100 cm from the floor; GB Installation The power supply cable must never be bent or dangerously compressed. The power supply cable must only be replaced by an authorised serviceman. Warning! The company denies all liability if and when these norms are not respected. 65 - 100 cm Description The first wash cycle alternatively, place it over the edge of a basin, sink or tub, fastening the duct supplied to the tap (see figure). The free end of the hose should not be underwater. 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. Programmes 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. Electric connection Technical details Model WI 62 Precautions 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.

Setting the temperature Functions Function To enable the functions, press the button corresponding to the desired function, according to the table below. Effect Reduces water cons umption during the rins e cycles . Us e this button to ex clude the spin cycle. C omm ents W e recommend that you use this function only with small laundry loads, dosing the detergent proportionally. W e recommend that you use it when washing garments which are difficult to iron. Half load No Spin Anti-crease This feature interrupts the wash cycle (position ), letting the laundry soak in the water before the spin cycle. It is activated only during the wash cycles for synthetic materials and wool. This feature is very useful because it prevents delicate and synthetic clothing from wrinkling (for example, when you are unable to remove the laundry at the end of the wash cycle and it must remain in the machine for several hours). The wash program can be completed with either a spin cycle or by draining the water without wringing. In the first case, simply turn the knob PROGRAMME clokwise one click. In the second, turn the knob PROGRAMME to the drain . setting In both cases, the knob PROGRAMME must be turned when the machine is off. 18 Detergents and laundry Detergent dispenser Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of detergent: adding too much detergent won't necessarily make for a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause build up on the interior of your appliance and even pollute the environment. Open up the detergent dispenser and pour in the detergent and fabric softener, as follows. Special items Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Wash them separately without exceeding half the appliance load. Quilted coats and windbreakers: if they are padded with goose or duck down, they can be machine-washed. Turn the garments inside out and load a maximum of 2-3 kg, repeating the rinse cycle once or twice and using the delicate spin cycle. Trainers: remove any mud. They can be washed together with jeans and other tough garments, but not with whites. Wool: for best results, use a specific detergent, taking care not to exceed a load of 1 kg. GB Installation Description 1 2 3 Programmes compartment 1: Detergent for pre-wash (powder) compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle (powder or liquid) Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately prior to the wash cycle start. compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.) The fabric softener should not overflow from the grid. Detergents Do not use hand wash detergent because it may form too much foam. Preparing your laundry Divide your laundry according to: - the type of fabric/the symbol on the label. - the colours: separate coloured garments from whites. Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons.
