[. . . ]  If the appliance is levelled correctly, it will be more stable and much less likely to cause vibrations and noise while it is operating, particularly during the spin cycle.  If it is placed on carpet or a rug, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow a sufficient ventilation space underneath the washing machine. Connecting the electricity and water supplies Connecting the water inlet hose  Before connecting the inlet hose to the water supply, run the water until it is perfectly clear. Connect the inlet hose to the machine by screwing it onto the cold water inlet of the appliance, which is situated on the top righthand side of the rear part of the appliance (see figure). [. . . ] Furthermore, before the machine enters “Standby” mode, the icon will light up for a few seconds; when the machine is switched off the estimated energy saving will be around the 80% mark. 7 Running a wash cycle EN WARNING: before you use the washing machine for the first time, run a wash cycle with detergent and no laundry, using the 90° cottons cycle without pre-wash. All the indicator lights will illuminate for 1 second; the indicator light corresponding to the button will then remain lit in a fixed manner and the START/PAUSE indicator light will flash slowly. Load the laundry, making sure you do not exceed the maximum load value indicated in the table of wash cycles on the following page. Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer and pour the detergent into the relevant compartments as described in “Description of the machine”. Turn the WASH CYCLE SELECTOR KNOB right or left, until you have selected the desired wash cycle. A temperature and spin speed is set for each wash cycle; these may be adjusted. Use the relevant buttons on the control panel: Modify the temperature and/or spin speed. The machine automatically displays the maximum temperature and spin speed values set for the selected cycle, or the most recently-used settings if they are compatible with the selected cycle. The temperature can be decreased by pressing the button, until the cold wash ( ) setting is reached. The spin speed may be progressively reduced by pressing the button, until it is completely excluded ( ). We recommend the following: • use powder detergents for white cotton garments and pre-washing. • use liquid detergents for delicate cotton garments and for all low-temperature wash cycles. The detergent should be poured into the relevant compartment - or the dispenser placed directly inside the drum - before the wash cycle begins. In the latter case, it will not be possible to select the Cottons with pre-wash cycle.  Do not use hand washing detergents because these create too much foam. We recommend the use of special detergent which has been designed to wash delicate clothes. Wool: Ariston is the only washing machine brand to have been awarded the prestigious Woolmark Platinum Care endorsement (M. 0508) by the Woolmark Company, which means that all woollen garments may be washed in the washing machine, even those which state “hand wash only” on the label. The “Wool” wash cycle can be used to wash all woollen garments in the washing machine while guaranteeing optimum performance. Duvets: to wash double or single duvets (the weight of which should not exceed 3, 5 kg), cushions or clothes padded with goose down such as puffa jackets, use the special “Duvets” wash cycle. We recommend that duvets are placed in the drum with their edges folded inwards (see figure) and that no more than ¾ of the total volume of the drum is used. [. . . ] Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer 1 To remove the drawer, press lever (1) and pull the drawer outwards (2) (see figure). Wash it under running water; this procedure should be repeated frequently. 2 Caring for your appliance drum • Always leave the door ajar to prevent unpleasant odours from forming. Checking the water inlet hose Check the inlet hose at least once a year. [. . . ]
