To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following: ♦ Read all instructions before using the appliance. ♦ Do not run appliance while you are out of the home. ♦ Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Children should be closely supervised when near the appliance. ♦ Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the washing compartment.
DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE The washing machine is a domestic appliance capable of washing any type of fabric. ♦ The machine is constructed in sheet steel panels with a treated and painted finish that ensures its aesthetic quality remains unaltered over time. ♦ The motor and all moving parts have been designed and produced in a manner that guarantees minimum noise levels. ♦ The stainless steel drum is large and well mounted to ensure a better quality wash and a longer life of clothing.
Read these instructions carefully and completely before you install the machine. The installation should be carried out by a qualified person who is familiar with all local codes and ordinances for electrical and plumbing connections. Incorrect installation may cause damage and/or injury. If the integrity of the machine is in doubt, do not use it. Call your dealer for qualified assistance.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION Check to make sure the main power supply and the outlet are appropriate to support a 110/120 V, 15 amp single-phase circuit. The power supply voltage is indicated on the filter door on the bottom right of the washing machine. Grounding Instructions This appliance must be grounded. In the case of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.
ENGLISH INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE WASHER 1. Before placing the items in the washer, sort the laundry by type of fabric and care label instructions (see page 8). 2. Make sure nothing is in the garment pockets to avoid damage to clothes, the machine or the filter. 3. Close zippers and hooks to prevent snagging. 4. Open the door (Fig. 8). 5. Load the laundry and close the door securely. 6. Pour detergent and fabric softener into the appropriate compartments in the detergent drawer (Fig. 9).
CARE LABEL INSTRUCTIONS Most clothes and other washable items have permanent care labels. Read these labels carefully! Care label instructions and warnings should be followed for the best cleaning results. The table below defines the typical symbols used on fabric care labels.
