Useful tips to avoid mistakes
Never use your washerdryer to wash. . . Coloured T-shirts, printed ones and shirts last longer if turned inside out before washing. Very popular salopette type overalls have straps with hooks that can damage the drum of your washer-dryer or other garments during the wash. By placing the hooks in the bib pocket and fastening them with safety pins, all risks are avoided. When you go on holiday, we recommend that you unplug your washer-dryer, shutting off the water inlet tap and leaving the door opened or ajar. In this way, both the drum and the gasket will remain nice and dry and unpleasant odours will not develop inside the washer-dryer.
Watch the weight!For best results, do not exceed the weight limits stated below (figures show weight when dry): - Resistant fabrics: 5. 5 kg maximum - Synthetic fabrics: 2. 5 kg maximum - Delicate fabrics: 2 kg maximum - Pure new wool: 1 kg maximum
For best results, we recommend you use a specific detergent, taking care not to wash more than 1 kg of laundry.

Your washer-dryer could fail to work. In most cases, the problems arising can be easily solved without having to call for a technician. A circuit breaker could have gone off, perhaps because too many appliances are on at the same time. For safety reasons, the washerdryer cannot work if the door is open or not shut properly. Is the programmed start knob, on those models concerned, in the correct position?For safety reasons, if the washerdryer does not load water, it cannot start a wash cycle.
Before calling, read the following
But where did all the water go?
Troubleshooting
Simple: with the new Ariston technology, you need less than half of it, to get good results on twice as much!This is why you cannot see the water through the door: because there is little, very little of it, to respect the environment yet without renouncing maximum cleanliness. And, on top of that, you are also saving electricity.
The programme selector knob keeps turning?Wait a few minutes for the drain pump to empty the tub, switch Margherita off, select one of the symbols stop/reset , then switch it back on. If the knob continues to turn, call for assistance because it is reporting an anomaly.
The washer-dryer fails to load water.
RIGHT
Close the tap after every wash cycle. [. . . ] A periodical wash cycle with a dose of a deliming product, without detergents or washing, may prove useful. Never use too much detergent or additives because this could cause an excess amount of foam, scaling and possible damage to the component parts of your washer-dryer.
Do not forget to empty all pockets: small objects can cause damage to your friend Margherita.
When in need, check the pump and the rubber hose.
Margherita comes equipped with a self-cleaning pump that does not require any cleaning or maintenance. Small objects may accidentally fall into the pump: coins, hair clips, loose buttons and other small items. To avoid possible damage, they are withheld in an accessible pre-chamber, situated at the lower end of the pump. [. . . ]
