Mounting the wooden panel  
onto the door and inserting  
the machine into cabinets:  
In the case where the machine  
must be shipped for final  
installation after the wooden  
panel has been mounted, we  
suggest leaving it in its original  
packaging.The packaging was  
designed to make it possible to  
mount the wooden panel onto  
the machine without removing it  
completely (see figures  
below).  
Door Mounting Accessories  
the face of the machine must not  
be less than 18 mm in  
thickness and can be hinged on  
either the right or left. For the  
sake of practicality when using  
the machine, we recommend  
that the panel be hinged on the  
same side as the door for the  
machine itself - the left.

Easy Care and Maintenance  
Treat your machine well and it will provide  
many years of trouble free service  
Your washing machine is a reliable companion in life and on the job. It is just as important for you to keep it  
in shape.  
Your washing machine is  
designed to provide reliable  
service over many years. A few  
simple steps will help to prolong  
its life and avoid problems. It is  
advisable, to turn off water taps  
when the machine is not to be  
used, this protects the hoses,  
It is important to wash  
the detergent dispenser  
regularly.  
To prevent dried washing  
powder from  
accumulating, place the  
dispenser under running  
water for a few minutes.  
etc.  
If the water in your area is too  
hard, use a deliming product  
Never exaggerate with doses.  
Normal detergents already  
contain deliming agents. Only if  
the water is particularly hard,  
that is, rich in lime content, do  
we recommend the use of a  
specific product at every wash.  
A periodical wash cycle with a  
dose of a deliming product,  
without detergents or washing,  
may prove useful.  
(water is hard if it often leaves  
whitish stains around taps or  
drains, especially of bath tubs.  
For more accurate information as  
to the type of water in your  
system, call the local water  
works or a local plumber).  
Pockets must always be  
emptied removing even pins,  
badges and any other hard  
object.  
Never use too much detergent  
or additives because this could  
cause an excess amount of  
foam, scaling and possible  
damage to the component parts  
of your washing machine.  
The washing machine exterior  
should be cleaned with a rag  
dipped in lukewarm water and  
soap.  
Do not forget to empty all pockets: small objects can  
cause damage to your washer.  
When in need, check the pump and the rubber hose.  
The washer comes equipped with a self-cleaning pump that does not require any cleaning or maintenance.  
The water inlet hose  
Check the rubber hose at least once a year. If you see any cracks, replace it immediately. When you use your washing  
machine, water pressure is very strong and a cracked tube could easily split open.
