[. . . ]  Please read this instruction manual carefully it Connecting the cold water and electricity supplies Connecting the water inlet hose  You will find the guarantee and other details relating to Unpacking and levelling Unpacking  Before connecting the inlet hose to the cold water supply, allow the water to flow from the tap until it runs clear. Connect the inlet hose to the machine, by screwing it into the cold water inlet on the upper right hand side of the back of the machine (see figure). Once the washing machine has been removed from the packaging, check that it has not been damaged during transportation. If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any further with the installation process. [. . . ] Use the relevant buttons on the control panel: Modify the temperature and/or the spin speed. The machine automatically selects the temperature and the maximum spin speed for the programme set and these values may not be button, the tempeincreased. By pressing the rature can be progressively reduced or even set to cold wash . By pressing the button, the spin speed can be progressively reduced or even . If the buttons are pressed eliminated altogether again the maximum values are restored. Press the OPTION buttons to personalise the wash cycle according to your own requirements. • Press the button to activate the option; the corresponding indicator light will illuminate. • Press the button again to deactivate the option; the indicator light will switch off.  If the selected option is not compatible with the set programme, the indicator light will flash and the option will not be activated.  If the selected option is not compatible with another previously selected option, the indicator light corresponding to the first option will flash and only the second option will be activated (the corresponding indicator light will remain lit in a fixed manner). The corresponding indicator light remains lit in a fixed manner and the porthole door locks (the DOOR LOCK indicator light illuminates). To achieve the best results, we recommend that a liquid detergent is used in conjunction with the detergent dispenser drawer. Preparing the laundry  Unfold all items of laundry before placing them in the machine. • Divide the laundry according to type of material (the symbol on the garment label) and colour, making sure that whites are separated from coloured garments. • Do not exceed the values indicated in the “Table of Programmes”, which refer to the weight of the laundry items when they are dry. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 sheet pillowcase tablecloth bathrobe towel pair of jeans shirt 400 150 400 900 150 400 150 - 500 g 200 g 500 g 1200 g 250 g 500 g 200 g Quilts: to wash quilts with a synthetic outer layer, use the bag provided and set the programme to "Duvets". Bathroom laundry and bedlinen: this washing machine can be used to wash any domestic laundry in a single cycle called “Weekly wash” that optimises the use of fabric softener while saving both time and electricity. Stubborn stains: stubborn stains should be treated with solid soap before the garment is washed (use the Cotton programme with pre-wash phase). Load-balancing system Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations and to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates continuously at a speed which is slightly faster than the normal washing speed. If, after several 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 washing machine continues at distribution speed only instead of the full spin speed. In order to achieve better load distribution and balance, we recommend that large and small garments are mixed when placing the laundry in the machine. [. . . ] Unscrew the cover, turning it in an anticlockwise direction (see figure); 2 4. Replace the kick strip, making sure that the hooks are positioned in the right slots before pushing the panel towards the machine. Checking the water inlet hose Drum maintenance • Always leave the porthole door ajar to prevent unpleasant odours from forming. If there are any cracks, replace it immediately: the high water pressure used by the wash cycles could cause a cracked hose to split open. [. . . ]
