2. INTRODUCTION
The present booklet has been formulated in
a simple and rational way, in order for the
reader to get deeply acquainted with the
washing machine. Please, read carefully the
instructions and keep them with the machine.
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 provided 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 recom-
mends 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 as deemed necessary for
manufacturing or commercial purposes, at
any time and with no previous notice.
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 assumes no responsibility
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
contained and also because of the temperature
of water.
This machine was designed to wash fabrics
according to the instructions given on the
labels of garments. Wash only cloths,
household linen and ordinary fabrics.
Do not load the machine with fabrics that
have been in contact with inflammable or
chemical products. Otherwise, hand-wash
them first, and then air-dry to let those
substances evaporate.
The operation of any electric or electronic
appliance entails compliance with certain
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 its operation
by children or disabled persons without
proper supervision. Do not smoke near the
machine or during operation; do not remove
or ignore safety devices; do not clean the
machine by spilling water directly or
indirectly over it and therefore, install far
from such possibilities.

4. TIPS ABOUT SHIPPING, UNPACK-
ING, MOVING AND STORING THE
MACHINE
4.1 SHIPPING
To move and/or ship the machine follow
carefully the ensuing recommendations:
Move the case on its own pallet or on a
similar platform; use a fork lift, either manual
or electric, provided it is adequate for hand-
ling 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.
If the case must be shipped, use only the ori-
ginal package, which ensures sufficient
stability during transportation.
Moreover, it is very important to put the
transport brackets back in place, in the three
holes on the rear panel (see fig. 2).
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, as it gua-
rantees optimum protection. Store it in pre-
mises where ambient conditions comply with
the requirements of chapter 5. If the machine
must be out of service for a long period after
use, be sure it is materially disconnected
from the electric power supply and cover it
with its original plastic bag.
4.3 UNPACKING
1) Prior to accepting the case from the carrier,
check the conditions of the package. If it is
showing visible damage, the machine might
have suffered some consequences. If so,
unpack the machine in the presence of the
carrier and sign, under protest, the delivery
bill. The manufacturer assumes no liability
for any damage caused by transportation or
incorrect storage.
2) Unpack the appliance with the utmost
care to avoid damage. To take the pallet off,
MUST
BE
remove the internal screws, which are on the
holes aimed for anchoring the machine to
the floor.
3) Open the door (see paragraph 7.2).
4) Take transport brackets off the machine's
rear panel.
5) Be sure that the instruction booklet is not
left in the package and lost.
