Getting to know your
washing machine
Before doing anything else you should get
to know your washing machine perfectly. To
help you recognise all the different devices
and elements which your machine is
equipped with, we have included some
diagrams. These can be found at the back
of the BOOKLET, inside the back cover.
Please study them carefully. They win help
you to understand the text and to visually
locate all the elements which make up your
machine.
Preliminary warnings
Installation
It is essential that the installation of your
WASHING MACHINE be carried out in
accordance with current standards.
Specific installation instructions can be
found in the INSTALLATION MANUAL.
Before starting your washing machine, it is
absolutely essential to remove the INTER-
NAL FIXING SCREWS, used for transit. To
do this, consult the installation manual.
Technical specifications table
Stuck to the back of your WASHING
MACHINE, you will find a TECHNICAL
SPECIFICATIONS TABLE, which gives the
technical and identification information for
your machine. THIS LABEL SHOULD BE
CONSULTED BEFORE MAKING ANY
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.
In order to preserve the environment, your
washing machine is equipped with a sys-
tem which is capable of adapting to diffe-
rent conditions of use (amount of clothes
and type of fabric), thereby ensuring an
optimum level of water and power with the
same wash and rinse results. This means
that during the washing process, the
amount of water you observe through the
hatch may seem low.
Moreover, for the same reason, some
models have a patented system by means
of which the drum turns faster than normal
for a short amount of time (2 seconds) only
in the wash programmes for normal fabrics
(cotton, linen, etc.). This occurs between six
and eight times during the whole wash.
