Mounting the wooden panel
onto the door and inserting
the machine into cabinets:
In the case where the machine
must be shipped for final
installation after the wooden
panel has been mounted, we
suggest leaving it in its original
packaging.The packaging was
designed to make it possible to
mount the wooden panel onto
the machine without removing it
completely (see figures
below).
Door Mounting Accessories
the face of the machine must not
be less than 18 mm in
thickness and can be hinged on
either the right or left. For the
sake of practicality when using
the machine, we recommend
that the panel be hinged on the
same side as the door for the
machine itself - the left.

Easy Care and Maintenance
Treat your machine well and it will provide
many years of trouble free service
Your washing machine is a reliable companion in life and on the job. It is just as important for you to keep it
in shape.
Your washing machine is
designed to provide reliable
service over many years. A few
simple steps will help to prolong
its life and avoid problems. It is
advisable, to turn off water taps
when the machine is not to be
used, this protects the hoses,
It is important to wash

regularly.
To prevent dried washing
powder from
accumulating, place the
dispenser under running
water for a few minutes.
etc.
If the water in your area is too
hard, use a deliming product
Never exaggerate with doses.
Normal detergents already
contain deliming agents. Only if
the water is particularly hard,
that is, rich in lime content, do
we recommend the use of a
specific product at every wash.
A periodical wash cycle with a
dose of a deliming product,
without detergents or washing,
may prove useful.
(water is hard if it often leaves
whitish stains around taps or
drains, especially of bath tubs.
For more accurate information as
to the type of water in your
system, call the local water
works or a local plumber).
Pockets must always be
emptied removing even pins,
badges and any other hard
object.
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 washing machine.
The washing machine exterior
should be cleaned with a rag
dipped in lukewarm water and
soap.
Do not forget to empty all pockets: small objects can
cause damage to your washer.
When in need, check the pump and the rubber hose.
The washer comes equipped with a self-cleaning pump that does not require any cleaning or maintenance.
The water inlet hose
Check the rubber hose at least once a year. If you see any cracks, replace it immediately. When you use your washing
machine, water pressure is very strong and a cracked tube could easily split open.
