Here I’m in command
Making the right choice is important. And it’s easy.
Programme selector knob
and programmed start
Use this knob to select the wash
programme.
Turn this knob clockwise only.
To select a programme, you
should turn the knob so that the
symbol/number of the desired
programme is in line with the
pointer on the control panel.
Now press on/off button H
(position ON), pilot lamp I will
start flashing.
After 5", the setting will be
accepted, pilot lamp I will stop
flashing (staying lit) and the wash
cycle will begin.
Should you wish to interrupt the
programme in progress or set a
new one, select one of the
symbols (Stop/Reset) and wait
5" : when the cancellation has
been accepted, pilot lamp I
flashes, and you can then turn the
appliance off.
Delay timer
You can use this knob to delay
the appliance's operation.
Select one of the four delay time
positions, press the on/off button
H (position ON) and wait 5". The
setting has now been accepted
(pilot lamp I stays lit) and you
can select the programme you
desire.
Pilot lamp 1 has a particular
flashing motion (2" on and 4"
off) to indicate that a delayed
start has been set.
During this phase, you can open
the appliance door and change
the washing load, should you
wish to do so.
After the wash cycle has been set
and accepted by the washing
machine, turning the knob will
have no effect (except for when
it is on position Stop/Reset).
The detergent dispenser with
the additional bleach
compartment is here.

C
Temperature control knob
It is used to set the wash tempe-
rature in the recommended
programme table on pag. 4. It also
allows you to reduce the tempe-
rature recommended for the
selected programme, and even to
set a cold wash cycle ( ).
Detergent dispenser
It is divided into three
compartments:
1. Detergent for pre-wash;
2. Detergent for the main cycle wash;
3. Fabric conditioner.
The washing machine is
equipped with an extra
compartment 4 (provided as an
accessory) for the bleach, to be
inserted in compartment 1.
90° Energic
The strongest standard cycle is at
60°C. To start the wash cycle at
90°C, you must turn knob A to the
programme 1 setting, turn the
knob B to the highest temperatu-
re setting (60°C) and then press
this button. This feature can only
be used with wash programme 1
for washing very strong materials,
like cotton, linen and hemp and
should be used when the clothes
are very dirty.

Soak
With this button, you can leave
your washing to soak, which lasts
approximately 12 hours, after
which the appliance will carry out
the wash cycle set.
Should you wish to interrupt the
soaking, press button E once more.
This function can be used with all
wash cycles except for cycle
number 5.
Rinse-Hold
This button allows you to
interrupt a programme (on symbol
) keeping the washing soaking
in water before the spin cycle. It
is a very useful button in
particular because it can be used
for delicates and synthetics. It is
only to be used with wash
programmes for synthetic fabrics,
silk and curtains when it is
impossible for you to take the
washing out immediately. Before
opening the washing machine
door, finish the wash cycle as
follows:
Silk and curtains: press button F
and Margherita 2000 will drain the
water.
Synthetic fabrics: press button F
if you want a spin cycle, or turn
knob A to symbol if you want
the water to be drained.
Extra Rinse
This helps to increase the amount
of rinse cycles in programmes for
sturdy fabrics. We recommend that
you use it to improve the machine's
rinsing power when dealing with a
full load and a great amount of
detergent.
This button also allows you to carry
out the bleach cycle (see page 7).

On-off
When button H is pressed, the
washing machine is switched on,
when it is not the machine is
switched off.
Turning the appliance off does
not cancel the selected
programme.
The on-off lamp
Lamp I flashes when the
appliance is switched on and
awaiting a programme to be set.
A steady light means the
appliance has accepted the
selected programme.
The door block lamp
The safety lamp indicates that the
washing machine door is locked
to prevent it from being opened
accidentally. To avoid any
damages to lock mechanism, you
must wait for the lamp to
extinguish, before attempting to
open the door which takes
around three minutes.
