[. . . ] Levelling the machine correctly will provide it with stability, help to avoid vibrations and excessive noise and prevent it from shifting while it is operating. 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 1. Connect the inlet hose by screwing it to a cold water tap using a 3/4 gas threaded connection (see figure). [. . . ] €¢ Before loading laundry into the washing machine, make sure the drum is empty. Disposal • Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local regulations so that the packaging may be re-used. €¢ The European Directive 2012/19/EU (WEEE) on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment. The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected. Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance. 5 Description of the washing machine and starting a wash cycle GB Control panel WASH CYCLE PROGRESS/ DELAY TIMER indicator lights SPIN SPEED ON/OFF button knob TEMPERATURE DOOR LOCKED knob indicator light START/PAUSE Detergent dispenser drawer WASH CYCLE knob FUNCTION button with indicator light buttons with indicator lights Detergent dispenser drawer: used to dispense detergents and washing additives (see “Detergents and laundry”).

Anti Stain Quick: this programme is ideal for washing the most difficult daily stains in 1 hour. It is ideal for mixed fabrics and coloured garments, caring for your clothes as it washes. The programme is designed to maintain the brightness of white clothes over time. anti allergy Plus: use programme 6 to remove major allergens such as pollen , mites , cat’s and dog’s hair. Anti allergy Delicate: cycle studied for cotton laundry and other resistant fabrics to guarantee the removal of pollen and cat and dog hair already at 40°. Baby: use the special wash cycle 8 to remove the remove the soiling typically caused by babies, while removing all traces of detergent from nappies in order to prevent the delicate skin of babies from suffering allergic reactions. The cycle has been designed to reduce the amount of bacteria by using a greater quantity of water and optimising the effect of special disinfecting additives added to the detergent. The effective performance levels achieved at cold temperatures, which are comparable to washing at 40°, are guaranteed by a mechanical action which operates at varying speed, with repeated and frequent peaks. The Cycles 13-14 assure energy saving by eliminating the need of heating water!
