INSTALLATION
Unpacking
All transit bolts and packing must be
removed before using the appliance.
You are advised to keep all transit devices so that
they can be refitted if the machine ever has to be
transported again.
1. Using a spanner, unscrew and remove the rear
right-hand bolt and lay the machine on its
back, taking care not to squash the hoses.
This can be avoided by placing one of the
corner packing pieces between the machine
and the floor.
P0255
2. Remove the polystyrene block from the bottom
of the machine and release the two plastic
bags by removing the adhesive strip.
3. Carefully remove the right-hand bag (1) then
the left-hand bag (2) by pulling them towards
the centre of the machine.

4. Set the machine upright and remove the two
remaining bolts from the back.
5. Pull out the three plastic spacers from the
holes into which the bolts were fitted.
6. Plug the open holes with the plugs which you
will find at the back of the appliance.
P0020
P0256
Positioning
Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
Make sure that air circulation around the machine
is not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that
the machine does not touch the wall or other
kitchen units.
Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in
or out. Never place cardboard, wood or similar
materials under the machine to compensate for
any unevenness in the floor.
After having levelled the machine, tighten the lock
nuts.

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
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
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.
