Margherita - Instructions for installation and use

Treat her well and shell be your

friend forever

Your washer-dryer is a reliable companion in life and on the job.

It is just as important for you to keep it in shape.

Margherita is a washer-dryer

designed to last a lifetime

without any problems. A few

simple steps help keep it in shape

and last longer. Firstly, you must

close the water tap after each

wash: the constant pressure of

water could warp a few of the

component parts.

In addition, by doing so, you will

avoid the risk of leaks when no-

one is at home.

If the water in your area is too

hard, use a deliming product

(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.

The washer-dryer exterior should

be cleaned with a rag dipped in

lukewarm water and soap.

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.

Never use too much detergent or

additives because this could cau-

se an excess amount of foam,

scaling and possible damage to

the component parts of your

washer-dryer.

When in need, check the pump and the rubber hose.

Margherita comes equipped with a self-cleaning pump that does not require any cleaning or maintenance. Small objects

may accidentally fall into the pump: coins, hair clips, loose buttons and other small items. To avoid possible damage,

they are withheld in an accessible pre-chamber, situated at the lower end of the pump.

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.

Do not forget to empty all pockets: small objects can cause
damage to your friend Margherita.

To access this pre-chamber, just remove the panel covering the

bottom of the washer-dryer using a screwdriver (figure 1); then

lift the cover rotating it anti-clockwise (figure 2) and check its

contents accurately.

The rubber hose

Check the rubber hose at least once a year. If you see any

cracks, replace it immediately. When you use your washer-

dryer, water pressure is very strong and a cracked tube

could easily split open.

Attention: make sure that the wash cycle has come to a full stop and unplug the appliance before removing the

lid as well as before any type of maintenance procedure. It is normal to find that a little water comes out after

removing the lid. When replacing the panel, make sure you insert the hooks situated at the bottom of the washer-

dryer in the right slots before pushing it back against the appliance.
