Margherita - Instructions for installation and use

Stain removal (see page 8)

Thanks to this command, Mar-

gherita will carry out a more in-

tensive wash that optimises the

effectiveness of the liquid

additives, thus allowing more

resistant stains to be removed.

When you press the stain removal

button, you cannot activate the

pre-wash cycle (I).

Prewash

With this button, you can pre-

wash on all programmes except

the wool programme and the

special programmes (see page 4).

If you use this function, you

cannot use the stain removal

button (H).

On-off

When button L is pressed, the

washer-dryer is switched on,

when it is not the machine is

switched off. Turning the

appliance off does not cancel

the selected programme.

On-off lamp / door locked

Lamp M flashes slowly when the

appliance is switched on and

awaiting instructions and at the end

of a cycle, indicating that the door

can be opened. It flashes quickly

when the door should not be

opened. A steady light means the

appliance has accepted the selected

programme.

Drying cycle lamp

When this lamp is on, it means

that knob C has been set on a

drying cycle and at the end of the

wash cycle, the appliance will run

the selected tumble drying cycle.

The washer-dryer is equipped

with extra compartment 4

(provided) for the bleach, to be

inserted in compartment 1.

Programme key

This contains the descriptions of

the wash programmes and the

various functions connected to

the buttons. Pull it outwards to

open it.

Rinse-hold

This button allows you to interrupt

a programme (on symbol )

keeping the washing soaking in

water before the spin cycle. It is a

very useful button in particular

because it can be used for

delicates and synthetics. It is only

to be used with wash programmes

for synthetic fabrics, silk and

curtains when it is impossible for

you to take the washing out

immediately. Before opening the

washing machine door, finish the

wash cycle as follows:

Silk and curtains: press button F

and Margherita will drain the

water.

Synthetic fabrics: press button F

if you want a spin cycle, or turn

knob A to symbol if you want

the water to be drained.

N.B.:

- when setting a drying cycle,

this function is not performed.

- With "Daily wash" or "Hand

wash", this function is not

performed.

Slow spin

Use this button to reduce the

spinning speed from 1200 to 600

rpm for the cotton programmes

and from 850 to 600 rpm for the

synthetic fabrics programmes.

positions, press the on/off button
