Page 4: Cautions
Cautions • Be sure to remove transport brackets prior first use of the appliance. Attempted operation of the blocked machine may result in irreparable damage which is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty! • When connecting your washing machine to water supply, be sure to use brand new water inlet hose and appropriate sealing gaskets (attached). • Do not locate the machine in a room with temperature below 0°C. Parts of the machine may be damaged if frozen. • Install the washing machine in a perfectly horizontal position, on solid flat concrete floor. • Follow the instructions for correct installation and water and mains connections. • Never immerse the end of the drain hose into the draining water. • Prior starting the washing cycle lock the door by pressing them at the designed spot. • Door may not be open during the washing cycle. • Use only detergents and softeners for machine wash. Manufacturer may not assume responsibility for any damage and eventual discoloring of gaskets and plastic components as a consequence of incorrect use of bleach and/or coloring agents. • For removal of lime residues use such agents with added anti-corrosion agents. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Finish the lime removal by multiple rinsing to remove completely eventual acid residues. • Never use detergents containing solvents, since there is a danger of creating toxic gasses which may damage the machine and result in ignition or explosion. • Upon completion of washing operation close the water faucet. •... - Page 5 Before connecting the appliance read these instructions carefully. Repairing the failure arising from inappropriate connections or use of the appliance is not covered by the guarantee. The belt can be replaced by a servising engineer only, who incorporates an original spare part with the marking MIG OPTIBELT 6EPJ 1260, code 111622 or 6EPJ 1278 code 587612.

Page 24: Tips For Washing And Energy Saving
Tips for washing and energy saving • Before washing sort out the laundry according to the type, degree of dirtiness and color resistance. • Prior selecting the washing program consult the sewn tab with information on a particular piece of laundry (see Maintenance chart on the last page). • Wash separately the new colored textile products for the first time. • Wash heavily soiled laundry in small quantities and add more detergent. • Treat stubborn stains with special stain remover, it will save energy. • For lightly stained laundry select washing program without pre-wash, use quick wash and select lower washing temperature. This way you may save up to 50% of energy. • Avoid washing too little quantities of laundry because of energy saving and for better performances of the appliance. • The largest allowed quantity of dry laundry is indicated in the Program chart on the last page. •... - Page 25 Hardness scale Degree of hardness °dH(°N) 1 - Soft 2 - Medium 7-14 3 - Hard 14-21 4 - Extra hard >21 In case of hard water add detergent according to the Chart for degree 1 and add appropriate quantity of water softener (see manufacturer’s instructions). • If you do not apply the program which includes the pre-wash feature, you may add washing detergent directly into the drum. • If you use thick liquid softener it is recommended to dilute it with water, to prevent clogging of dispenser compartment ducts. • Washing machine is equipped with the dispenser partition gate, so you may pour liquid detergent also into the central compartment. If you use powder detergent the gate is lifted up, and in case of liquid detergent it is slid down. • Liquid detergents are intended for main wash only, without pre-wash. • In models with the delayed start feature, add liquid detergent directly into the drum, in the attached vessel. • Insert particularly delicate linen (stockings, delicate female underwear, etc.) into the special bag.

Pull it out from its casing completely by pressing the flap (see Fig.). • If necessary, clean the cover of the bung under the running water. - Page 27 • Wash it under running water using a brush, and dry it. Remove any leftover dried detergent from the bottom of the casing. • Clean the entire rinsing area of the washing machine with a brush, especially the nozzles on the upper side of the rinsing chamber. • Clean frequently the water inlet hose screen under running water. • After each wash wipe the door rubber gasket. This will prolong its useful life. • Open the filter lid using flat screwdriver or similar tool. • Filter needs occasional cleaning, especially following heavily shaggy or old laundry. Before cleaning, drain any water from the machine via drain pipe.
- Page 28 • Turn it anti-clockwise, pull it out and clean under running water. • Insert the filter back as shown on the picture (arrow and pointer), and tighten by turning it in clockwise direction. To ensure good sealing the gasket surface (A) must be dirt free.

Page 29: Failures
Failures If the washing machine identifies failures in the operation, it reports it immediately. Sound alarm is heard and the display reads ERROR. Number identifies the type of failure. In some cases you may attempt removing certain failures yourself (see the chart below), and the machine will continue to perform the operation after pressing the START knob (F). The machine signals failures immediately after detecting them and stops the program, except for heater failure, where the machine completes the washing program without heating water (FAILURE 1). In case the machine signals faults number you have to wait for at least 2 minutes before you can open the door of the washing machine. Interferences from the ambient (for example electrical wiring) could induce signalization of different faults. In such cases: - switch the appliance off, and wait for a few seconds; - switch the appliance back on and repeat the washing program. If the fault repeats, call authorized service shop. - Page 30 Failure Possible cause Excessive foaming Excessive measure of during washing. detergent.
