Programme selector For the various types of fabrics and various degrees of dirt the washing machine has different programme bands according to: wash cycle, temperature and length of cycle (see table of washing cycle programmes). RESISTANTS FABRICS The programmes have been designed for a maximum wash and the rinses, with spin intervals, ensure perfect rinsing.
Automatic Variable Capacity The washing machine is fitted with an automatic reduction in consumption system (known as Automatic Variable Capacity). This system enables the machine to use the amount of water needed to wash and rinse the laundry in relation to the particular load. This results in a reduction in the amount of water used and electricity needed to heat it to the minimum required, without in any way compromising the washing and rinsing performance.
Detergents, washing aids and amounts to use Choice of detergent General purpose detergents - Powder detergents, for a thorough wash, with bleaching agent, particularly suitable for use in hot wash programmes (60°C and over), for heavily soiled and stained laundry. - Liquid detergents, particularly suitable for grease stains, such as greasy skin marks, cosmetics and oil.

Transporting the appliance or long periods when appliance is not in If the appliance is being transported or is out of use for long periods in unheated places, all remaining water must be completely removed from the hoses. Ensure mains power is off, then unclip the hose and point it downwards into a basin until all the water has emptied out.
Note: The use of environmentally-friendly, phosphate-free detergents can have the following effects: - waste water from rinsing may be cloudier because of the presence of zeolites held in suspension, without the rinse performance being adversely affected; - presence of white powder (zeolites) on laundry after washing, which is not absorbed by the fabric and does not alter the colour of the fabric.
SETTING UP + INSTALLATION Remove the polystyrene base and place the machine near its permanent position (diagram 1). Carefully cut through the hose retaining clip at the rear of the appliance (diagram 2). Unscrew the central bolt (A); unscrew the 4 lateral screws (B) and remove the cross piece (C) (diagram 3).
