Water inlet
Connect the water inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4"
thread after having inserted the small filter “A”
supplied with the machine.
The other end of the inlet hose which connects to
the machine can be turned in any direction.
Simply loosen the fitting, rotate the hose and
retighten the fitting, making sure there are no
water leaks.
A
P0003
P0021
The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too
short and you do not wish to move the tap, you
will have to purchase a new, longer hose
specially designed for this type of use.
Water drainage
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in
three ways:
Hooked over the edge of a sink using the
plastic hose guide supplied with the machine.
In this case, make sure the end cannot come
unhooked when the machine is emptying.
This could be done by tying it to the tap with a
piece of string or attaching it to the wall.
In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must
be above the trap so that the bend is at least
60 cm above the ground.
P0022
Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less
than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm.
The end of the drain hose must always be
ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain
pipe must be larger than the outside diameter of
the drain hose.
The drain hose must not be kinked. Run it along
the floor; only the part near the drainage point
must be raised.

Removing stains
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just
water and detergent. It is therefore advisable to
treat them prior to washing.
Before loading the laundry
Never wash whites and coloureds together.
Whites may lose their “whiteness” in the wash.
Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For
dried stains, soak overnight in water with a
special detergent then rub in the soap and
water.
New coloured items may run in the first wash;
they should therefore be washed separately the
first time.
Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain
remover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab
the stain; treat several times.
Make sure that no metal objects are left in
the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine,
lay the garment on a soft surface and dab the
stain with the fingertips and a cotton cloth.
Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners,
hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.
Remove persistent stains before washing. Rub
particularly soiled areas with a special detergent
or detergent paste.
Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust
removing product used cold. Be careful with rust
stains which are not recent since the cellulose
structure will already have been damaged and
the fabric tends to hole.
Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks
or tie them up in a bag or net.
Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well
(whites and fast coloureds only).
Maximum loads
Recommended loads are indicated in the
programme charts.
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites
and fast coloureds only).
General rules:
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone
(*), lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the
stain.
Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly
packed;
Synthetics: drum no more than half full;
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then
treat stains with methylated spirits. Remove any
residual marks from white fabrics with bleach.
Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more
than one third full.
11
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse
and treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse.
Treat any residual marks with bleach.
Follow the product manufacturer’s
recommendations on quantities to use and do
not exceed the «MAX» mark in the detergent
dispenser drawer.
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the
fabric first with acetone (*), then with acetic acid;
treat any residual marks on white fabrics with
bleach and then rinse thoroughly.
Quantity of detergent to be used
The type and quantity of detergent will depend
on the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling
and hardness of the water used.
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover,
methylated spirits or benzine, then rub with
detergent paste.
Water hardness is classified in so-called
“degrees” of hardness. Information on hardness
of the water in your area can be obtained from
the relevant water supply company, or from your
local authority.
(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk
Detergents and additives
Good washing results also depend on the
choice of detergent and use of the correct
quantities to avoid waste and protect the
environment. Although biodegradable,
detergents contain substances which, in large
quantities, can upset the delicate balance of
nature.
Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions
on quantities to use.
Use less detergent if:
– you are washing a small load
– the laundry is lightly soiled
– large amounts of foam form during washing.
The choice of detergent will depend on the type
of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the
colour, washing temperature and degree of
soiling.

Drying
■
All laundry to be dried must be thoroughly
spun. The higher the spin speed, the lower
the power consumption and the shorter the
drying time.
The detergent and any additives must be placed
in the appropriate compartments of the
dispenser drawer before starting the wash
programme.
■
■
If using concentrated powder or liquid
detergents, a programme without prewash must
be selected.
Scrupulously follow the instructions on each
garment label, making sure that it is suitable
for tumble-drying.
The washing machine incorporates a
recirculation system which allows an optimal use
of the concentrated detergent.
Do not tumble dry the following:
– wool, silk, synthetic curtains;
– articles with a plasticised finish, nylon
tights or stockings, sleeping bags, quilts,
articles made of foam rubber or containing
materials similar to foam rubber, fabrics
with metal inserts;
Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer
compartment marked
the programme.
just before starting
Any fabric softener or starching additives must
be poured into the compartment marked
before starting the wash programme.
– fabrics which tend to fray.
Important: during the drying cycle, the water
tap must be left open and the drain hose must
be correctly positioned.

4. Water inlet filter
If you notice that the machine is taking longer to
fill, check that the filter in the water inlet hose is
not blocked.
Turn off the water tap.
Unscrew the hose from the tap and remove the
filter.
Clean it with a stiff brush.
P0041
Refit the filter and screw the hose back onto the
tap.
5. Emergency emptying out
If the water is not discharged (outlet pump is
blocked, filter or outlet hose are clogged),
proceed as follows to empty out the machine:
■
pull out the plug from the power socket;
■
close the water tap;
■
if necessary, wait until the water has cooled
down;
■
place a bowl on the floor;
■
put the outlet hose end into the bowl and let
the water come out.
Should it not be possible to have access to the
outlet hose because, for example, the appliance
is built in the kitchen furniture, slightly loosen the
outlet filter after placing a bowl on the floor, to let
the water come out slowly.
At the end screw the filter again.
6. Frost precautions
If the machine is installed in a place where the
temperature could drop below 0°C, proceed as
follows:
■
Close the water tap and unscrew the water
inlet hose from the tap.
■
Place the end of the outlet hose and that of
the inlet hose in a bowl placed on the floor.
■
Select programme N (drain) and run it until
the machine stops.
■
Remove the plug from the socket.
■
Screw the water inlet hose back on and put
the outlet hose back in its place.
By doing this, any water remaining in the
machine is removed, avoiding the formation of
ice and, consequently, breakage of the affected
parts.
When you use the machine again, make sure
that the ambient temperature is above 0°C.

has cut in because the laundry is not evenly
distributed in the drum. The laundry is
redistributed by reverse rotation of the drum.
This may happen several times before the
unbalance disappears and normal spinning
can resume. If, after 10 minutes, the laundry
is still not evenly distributed in the drum, the
machine will not spin. In this case,
redistribute the load manually and reselect
the spin programme.
■ The machine is fitted with a commutator
motor which makes an unusual noise
compared with other traditional machines.
This motor enables a softer start to the spin
and controls the increase in spin speed
better. In this way, machine performance is
improved.
