Select the programme Choose the programme according to the nature and the degree of soil of the laundry. Turn the programme selector clockwise to select the chosen programme.

Fig 6 A Water connection Water inlet hose : Connect the water inlet hose to a cold water tap with a 3/4" gas threaded orifice, after having inserted the rugger sealing washer with incorporated filter (supplied with the machine) into the hose collar. If the water connection is made onto new pipes or onto pipes which have not been used for a long time, it is advisable to run off a certain amount of water before connecting the machine. This will avoid foreign matter blocking the filter placed at the end of the water inlet hose. Water outlet hose : Place the curved end of the outlet hose into a drain pipe having a height between 70 and 100 cm from floor level or secure it to a sink or bath tub. Make sure that the drain hose is firmly secured so that it will not slip out or fall down from its position. The water should drain freely and, consequently, the drain hose should not be choked or placed in such a way as to obstruct the normal water flow. If an extension hose is required, remember that it might cause a malfunction in the drain pump, particularly if the extension has a length in excess of 1 meter or if the diameter of the extension is smaller than the diameter of the original drain hose.

[. . . ] LIquid detergents Using the new automatic dispenser for liquid detergents, it is possible to use a liquid detergent for main wash phases.

Study carefully the chart in this booklet explaining the symbols used on clothes labels (see page 9). The following points are particularly important : a line under the bowl means that the garment cannot be washed using programmes for resistant fabrics such as cotton and linen; do not mix coloured garments with whites; anticrease materials like polyester/cotton should be treated as synthetics; non-resistant fabrics like acrylic and most curtain materials should be treated as delicate fabrics; the wool programme is designed specifically for pure new wool. Other types of wool and wool mixtures may shrink or felt if machine-washed. [. . . ]
