2. INTRODUCTION
The present booklet has been formulated in
a simple and rational way, in order for the
reader to get familiar with the washing
machine. Please, read it carefully and keep it
near the machine at all times. However, the
warning and advice contained in this manual
cannot cover every possible contingency.
This is why it is important to underline that
common sense, carefulness and caution
cannot be supplied by the manufacturer, but
must be contributed by those in charge of its
installation, maintenance and use.
Whoever operates the machine must have
read this manual beforehand.
In case of repairs, the manufacturer
recommends the use of original spare parts.
Orders are dealt with in chapter 8.
The descriptions and sketches reported in
this manual do not bind the manufacturer,
who reserves the right to update them and/or
include any upgrading modification of parts
and fittings at any time and with no previous
notice if this is deemed necessary for
manufacturing or commercial purposes.
3. PRESCRIPTIONS, RESTRICTIONS
AND OTHER USES
The washing machine must be operated by
trained personnel only.
Disconnect it in case of malfunction and/or
faulty operation.
During use, cleaning and maintenance it is
absolutely necessary to be sure that tools or
hands are never stuck in the moving parts of
the appliance (motor, belts, etc.).
The manufacturer disclaims all liability for
any personal injury arising while using,
cleaning or servicing the washing machine.
Do not open the soap dispenser while the
appliance is running, because of the substance

temperature.
This machine was designed to wash fabrics
according to the instruction labels appearing
on garments. Wash only cloths, household
linen and ordinary fabrics.
Do not load the machine with fabrics that

basic rules and in this case particularly: do
not touch the machine with damp or wet
hands or feet; do not use it while barefoot, do
not expose it to atmospheric agents like rain,
salt, salinity, etc. Do not allow operation by
children or disabled persons without proper
supervision. Do not smoke near the machine

INSTRUCTIONS FOR
THE INSTALLER
4. SHIPPING, UNPACKING,
HANDLING AND STORING THE
MACHINE
4.1 SHIPPING
To move and/or ship the machine, follow
carefully the ensuing recommendations:
Move the machine on its own pallet or on a
similar platform; use a fork lift, either manual
or electric, provided it is adequate for
handling such appliances and it has the
requisite lifting capacity (see technical data).
Check that the appliance can surmount every
existing obstacle, like staircases, doors, etc.
Never drag it by the sides or by any other
part.
To ship the machine, use only the original
packaging, which ensures sufficient stability
during transportation.
4.2 STORING
If the appliance must be stored for a long
period of time before being put into operation,
keep it inside its original package, which
guarantees excellent protection. Store it in
premises where ambient conditions comply
with the requirements of chapter 5. If the
machine must be laid up for a long period
after use, be sure it is materially disconnected
from the electric power supply and cover it
with its original plastic protection bag.
4.3 UNPACKING
1) Prior to accepting the machine from the
carrier, check the conditions of the package.
If it is showing visible damage, the machine
too may have suffered some consequences.
If so, unpack the machine in the presence of
the carrier and sign, with reservation, the
delivery bill. The manufacturer disclaims all
liability for damage deriving from
transportation or poor storage.
2) Unpack the appliance with the utmost
care to avoid damage. To take the pallet off,
remove the screws inside, which are on the
holes aimed for fastening the machine to the
floor.
3) Open the door (see paragraph 7.2).
