learn and have fun: you will discover many secret

ways to get a better wash, more easily and making

your washer-dryer last longer......and especially

keeping an eye on safety.

Quick guide to

Margherita

1. Installation and removal (p. 11)

Installation, after delivery or transport, is the most important

operation for the correct functioning of your Margherita washer-dryer.

Always check:

1. That the electric system complies with the law;

2. That the inlet and draining pipes are connected correctly.

Never use hoses that have already been used, always use

the new ones provided with your machine.

3. That the washer-dryer is levelled properly; something worth

checking for the life of your washer-dryer and the quality of

your wash;

4. That the drum's fixing screws have been removed from the back

of the washer-dryer.

2. What goes in your washer-dryer and how

to start your Margherita (p. 2)

A correct distribution of your laundry is vital to both the successful

outcome of the wash and the life of the washer-dryer. Learn all the

tips and secrets to dividing your linen: colour, type of fabric and

tendency of creating fuzz are the most important criteria.

3. Guide to understanding labels (p. 6)

The symbols on the labels of your garments are easy to understand

and equally important for the success of your wash. The guide

includes simple instructions to help you choose the right tempera-

ture, wash cycles and ironing methods.

4. Useful tips to avoid mistakes (p. 7)

Yeras back, our grandmothers were the ones who gave us good advice

- and in those days synthetic fibres did not exist: washing was easy.

Today, Margherita offers you helpful advice allowing you to wash

cashmere and wool even better than an expert laundress would by

hand.

5. The detergent dispenser (p. 8)

How to use the detergent dispenser and the bleach compartment.

6. Understanding the control panel (p. 3)

Margheritas control panel is very simple. It has only a few essential

buttons to help you choose any type of wash cycle, ranging from the

most energetic, capable of cleaning a mechanics overalls, to the

most delicate for cashmere. Familiarising with it will help you get

the best out of your wash while helping your washer-dryer last longer.

Its easy.

7. Guide to Margheritas programmes (p. 4)

Herein is an easy table to help you choose the right programme,

temperature, detergents and possible additives. Choose the right

programme and you will get better results with your wash while saving

time, water and energy, day after day.

8. How to dry (p. 5)

A few handy tips to get the best drying cycle from your appliance.

9. Care and maintenance (p. 12)

Margherita is a true friend. With just a bit of care, it will repay you

with loyalty and devotion.

With the necessary upkeep, it will wash for years and years to come.

10. Problems and solutions (p. 9 and 10)

Before calling a technician, read these pages: immediate solutions

may be found for a number of problems. If the problem persists, call

Ariston customer services and any failure will be repaired, as soon as

possible.

11. Technical characteristics (p. 10)

Herein are the technical features of your washer-dryer: model type

number, electric and water specifications, size, capacity, speed of

the spin cycle and compliance with Italian and European rules and

regulations.

1 Margherita - Instructions for installation and use

What goes in your washer-dryer?

Before washing, you can do a great deal for better results. Divide your garments

according to fabric and colour. Read the labels, follow their indications and

alternate small items with large ones.

Before washing.

Divide your washing according to

the type of fabric and colour

resistance: sturdy fabrics should

be separated from delicate ones.

Light colours should be separated

from dark ones.

Empty all pockets (coins, paper,

money and small obejects) and

check the buttons. Mend

immediately or remove loose

buttons as they could fall off

during the wash cycle.

How to eliminate the most common stains

Ink and biro Dab with a wad of cotton soaked in methyl alcohol or alcohol at 90°.

Tar Dab with fresh butter, rub in turpentine then wash immediately.

Wax Scrape away, then run a hot iron between two sheets of absorbent paper. Then rub in cotton with

turpentine or methyl alcohol.

Chewing gum Rub in nail polish remover and wipe with a clean rag.

Mold Cotton and white linen should be placed in a solution of 5 parts water, one bleach and a spoon of vinegar,

then washed immediately. For other white fabrics, use hydrogen peroxide at 10 volumes and wash immediately.

Lipstick Dab with ether on wool or cotton. Use tricloroetilene for silk.

Nail polish Place a sheet of absorbent paper on the side of the stain, wet it with nail polish remover, shifting the

garment as the sheet gradually changes colour.

Grass Dab with a wad of cotton soaked in methyl alcohol.

Starting Margherita

Starting Margherita in the right

way is important for the quality

of your wash, for preventing

problems and for lengthening the

life of your appliance. After

loading your washing and

pouring in the detergent together

with any additives, always check

that:

1. The door is correctly shut.

2. The plug is inserted in the

socket.

3. The water tap is open.

4. Selector knob A is positioned

on one of the symbols

(Stop/

Reset).

Choose the desired programme

The programme is selected

according to the type of garments

that need to be washed. To

choose a programme, refer to the

table on page 4. Turn knob A

until the selected programme

coincides with the pointer

situated on the upper part of glass

N, set the temperature using

knob B, make sure knob C is in

the required position and, if

necessary, use buttons F, G and

H and then press on/off button I

(position ON).

After installing your new washer-dryer, start a

wash cycle by setting programme "1" at 90 degrees.

For more delicate

garments:

protect underwear,

tights and stockings

and delicate items by

placing them in a

canvas pouch

Dividing your

garments according to

fabric and colour, is

very important for

good results

Remember that, if you want to

use it, the "programmed start"

should be set before the wash

cycle.

At the end of the wash cycle...

Lamp L will flash quickly for a

few seconds, then it will begin

flashing more slowly.

Then turn Margherita off by

pressing on-off button I (OFF

position). You can now open the

washer-dryer door safely. After

The labels say it all.

Always look at the labels: they

tell you everything about your

garment and how to wash it in

the best way possible.

The table on page 6 shows you

all the secrets of the symbols

found on labels. Their

indications are a valuable guide

to a better wash and to longer

lasting clothes.

Big and small happily

together.

This washer-dryer has a special

electronic control device for

distributing the wash load

evenly: before the spin cycle

starts, this device allows the

washing to position itself as

uniformly as possible in the

drum, according to the type of

washing and initial positioning.

For this reason, even at top spin,

the washer-dryer does not vibrate

or make any noise.

Margherita - Iinstructions for installation and use 2

ARGHERITA

having removed the freshly

cleaned washing, leave the door

open or ajar so that the humidity

left inside can evaporate.

Always close the water tap.

Remember that, in the event

of a power failure, or should

the washer-dryer switch itself

off, the programme chosen will

be memorised.

On-off lamp / door locked

Lamp L 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.

Anti-crease

This function (represented by the

symbol

) interrupts the wash

programme, keeping the washing

soaking in water before draining.

It is only enabled in programmes

for synthetic fabrics, silk and

curtains. It is very useful,

because it prevents delicate and

synthetic fabrics from creasing

(for example, when you cannot

take the washing out at the end

of the wash cycle but only a few

hours later). The programme can

be completed by turning knob A

one notch. In the case of

synthetic fabrics, should you

prefer draining rather than a

spin cycle, turn knob A until you

have selected the symbol

(Drain).

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.

Slow spin

Use this button to reduce the

spinning speed from 850 to 400

rpm for the cotton programmes

and from 750 to 400 rpm for the

synthetic fabrics programmes.

Rapid wash

This button reduces the length of

the wash programme by about

30%. It cannot be used with

special programmes (see page 4)

or those for wool and silk.

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.

On-off

When button I 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.

Here Im in command

Understanding the control panel

Making the right choice is important. And its easy.

Margheritas knobs are hidden. Just

press them lightly in the middle to

extract them.

Programme selector knob

and programmed start

Use this knob to select the wash

programme.

Turn this knob clockwise only.

To select a programme, you

should turn the knob so that the

symbol/number of the desired

programme is in line with the

pointer on the glass N.

Now press on/off button I

(position ON), pilot lamp L will

start flashing.

After 5", the setting will be

accepted, pilot lamp L will stop

flashing (staying lit) and the wash

cycle will begin.

Should you wish to interrupt the

programme in progress or set a

new one, select one of the

symbols

(Stop/Reset) and wait

5" : when the cancellation has

been accepted, pilot lamp L

flashes, and you can then turn the

appliance off.

You can use this knob to delay

the appliance's operation.

Select one of the 3 delay time

positions, press the on/off button

I (position ON) and wait 5". The

setting has now been accepted

(pilot lamp L stays lit) and you

can select the programme you

desire.

Pilot lamp L has a particular

flashing motion (2" on and 4"

off) to indicate that a delayed

start has been set.

During this phase, you can open

the appliance door and change

the washing load, should you

wish to do so.

After the wash cycle has been set

and accepted by the washer-

dryer, turning the knob will have

no effect (except for when it is

on position Stop/Reset).

Temperature control knob

It is used to set the wash tempe-

rature indicated in the

programme table. It also allows

you to reduce the temperature

recommended for the selected

programme, and even to set a

cold wash cycle ( ).

Drying cycle knob

Use this knob to select the desired

drying cycle. Two options are

available:

A - Based on time:

From 40 minutes to 150.

B - Based on the damp level of

the dry clothes:

Iron

: slightly damp clothes,

easy to iron.

Wardrobe : dry clothes to put

away.

Extra dry : very dry clothes,

recommended for towelling and

bathrobes.

A cooling stage is foreseen at the

end of the drying cycle.

Detergent dispenser

It is divided into three

compartments:

1. Detergent for pre-washing;

2. Detergent for the wash cycle;

3. Fabric softeners,

starches, perfumes.

The detergent dispenser with

the additional bleach

compartment is here.

What are you washing today?

Margherita - Instructions for installation and use 4

Class A at 40°C Margherita has a special programme to allow you to obtain optimum results even at low temperatures.

By setting programme 4 at a temperature of 40° C, the results you will obtain will be the same as you would normally obtain at 60°C

thanks to the washer-dryers action and the length of the wash cycle.

Daily wash Margherita has a programme studied for the washing of lightly soiled garments in a short amount of time.

By setting programme 8 at a temperature of 30°C, you can wash different types of fabrics together (except for wool and silk), with a

maximum load of 3 kg. This programmes allows you to save on both time and energy as it only lasts around 30 minutes. We

recommend the use of liquid detergent.

Important: to cancel the wash programme you have just set, select one of the symbols (Stop/Reset) and wait for at least 5.

How to dry

A combined Washing

and Drying Programme

Look at table A to the side and

follow the instructions provided

for MAX load to have an

automatic washing and drying

cycle.

Follow the instructions for wash

only (see page 2, the paragraph

entitled "Starting Margherita")

and use knob C to set the type

of drying cycle desired, then

press button I (ON position).

If the laundry load to be washed

and dried exceeds the maximum

load foreseen (see table A), then

follow the instructions provided

for wash only (see page 2, the

paragraph entitled "Starting Mar-

gherita").

When the wash cycle has finished,

remove your washing, divide it

up and replace part of it inside

the drum.

Now follow the instructions

provided for a dry only cycle.

Repeat this procedure for the re-

mainder of the load.

Dry only

Once you have loaded the

washing that needs drying (3,5 kg

max. for cottons, see table for

other fabrics ), make sure that:

- the door is shut correctly;

- the plug is inserted in the socket;

- the water tap is turned on;

- button I has not been pressed

(OFF position).

And now set the wash

cycle knob

Set knob A on the appropriate

drying setting

depending on

the type of fabric, select the type

of drying cycle required using

knob C and then press on-off

button I (ON position).

At the end of the drying

cycle...

Wait for lamp L to flash slowly,

then turn the washer-dryer off by

pressing on-off button I

(OFF position). Now you can

open the appliance door. Once

you have removed the washing

from the appliance, leave the

door open or ajar to avoid the

formation of bad odours and turn

off the water tap.

- During the drying phase, the door tends to get

quite hot.

- Do not use the appliance to dry clothes that have

been washed with flammable solvents (e.g.

trichlorethylene).

- Do not use the appliance to dry foam rubber or

similar elastomers.

- Make sure that the water tap is turned on during

the drying cycles.

- This washer-dryer can only be used to dry clothes

which have been pre-washed in water.

WARNING

A spin cycle is carried out during the drying if you

have set a cotton programme and a level of dryness

(Extra dry

, Wardrobe , Iron ).

IMPORTANT

The woollen garments drying cycle should only and

exclusively be run together with the selection of a

specific cycle time (150 - 100 - 60 - 40 minutes).

If one of the three levels (Extra dry

, Wardrobe ,

Iron

) is selected by mistake, the appliance will

run a drying cycle lasting the MAX time foreseen

(150 minutes).

Understanding labels

Learn the meaning of these symbols and you will get

better results, your garments will last longer and your

machine will repay you by washing better.

All over Europe, garment labels

contain messages expressed in

small yet important symbols.

Understanding them is very

important if you want to get

better results and treat your

garments the way they deserve to

be treated.

These symbols are divided in five

different categories and shapes:

washing

, bleaching ,

ironing

, dry cleaning and

drying

Consult and learn the symbols in this table: they will help you

obtain a better wash, treat your clothes properly, and get a

better performance out of your Ariston Margherita.

Useful tips

Turn shirts inside out to get better results

and make them last longer.

Always empty pockets of their contents.

Look at the label: it will always give you

useful advice.

When loading your washing, alternate large

and small garments.

Make sure you select the right

temperature!

Useful tips to avoid mistakes

Never use your washer-

dryer to wash... torn, fraying or

non-hemmed linen. If it is

absolutely neccessary, place it in

a bag for protection. Brightly

coloured linen with whites.

Watch the weight!

For best results, do not exceed

the weight limits stated below

(figures show weight when dry):

- Resistant fabrics:

5.5 kg maximum

- Synthetic fabrics:

2.5 kg maximum

- Delicate fabrics:

2 kg maximum

- Pure new wool:

Cashmere Gold: As gentle as a hand wash

The first Washer-dryer to have "The Woolmark Company" recognition.

The Cashmere Gold wash

programme has been studied

for machine washing even the

most delicate and valuable

wool and Cashmere

garments.

The Merloni Elettrodomesti-

ci wool wash cycle has been

tested and approved by The

Woolmark Company for

washing Woolmark garments

labelled as hand wash. This

is the first gentle action hand

wash cycle approved by The

Woolmark Company.

M.00221

This has been made possible

thanks to the speed of the

drum at 90 rpm, even during

the rinse cycle, thus

preventing the fibres from

rubbing.

Always use programme 9 with

garments bearing the hand wash

symbol: the washbasin and

hand.

To take care of your woollen

items, we recommend you use

special detergents.

EXCLUSIVE

How to wash almost anything

Curtains.

Curtains tend to crease a great

deal. Here is a tip to reduce

creasing: fold the curtains and

place them in a pillow case or

mesh bag. Do not load anything

else, so that the overall weight

does not exceed the half load.

Remember to use the specific

programme 10 which automa-

tically excludes the spin cycle.

Trainers.

Once you have removed mud and

dirt from trainers, you can wash

them with jeans and other tough

garments. Do not wash trainers

with whites.

Quilted coats and wind-

cheaters.

You can wash quilted coats and

wind-cheaters, too, if they are

padded with goose or duck

down. Do not load more than

2-3 kg and never load 5.5 kg.

Repeat rinse once or twice using

the gentle spin.

How much does it weigh?

1 sheet 400-500 gr.

1 pillow case 150-200 gr.

1 tablecloth 400-500 gr.

1 bathrobe 900-1,200 gr.

1 towel 150-250 gr.

Coloured T-shirts, printed

ones and shirts last longer if

turned inside out before washing.

Printed T-shirts and sweatshirts

should always be ironed inside

out.

Salopette alert.

Very popular salopette type

overalls have straps with hooks

that can damage the drum of

your washer-dryer or other

garments during the wash. By

placing the hooks in the bib

pocket and fastening them with

safety pins, all risks are avoided.

Holidays: unplug the

appliance.

When you go on holiday, we

recommend that you unplug your

washer-dryer, shutting off the

water inlet tap and leaving the

door opened or ajar. In this way,

both the drum and the gasket will

remain nice and dry and

unpleasant odours will not

develop inside the washer-dryer.

7 Margherita - Instructions for installation and use

ARGHERITA

For best results, we

recommend you use a

specific detergent, taking

care not to wash more

than 1 kg of laundry.

WOOL CYCLE

You must add detergent and any

additives following the dosage

recommended by the

manufacturers: generally, all the

indications you need are on the

box. Doses vary according to

wash load, the water hardness

and how soiled the washing is.

Experience will help you select

the right dosage almost

automatically: it will become

your secret.

Before pouring in the detergent

for pre-washing in compartment

1, make sure that the extra

compartment for bleach 4 has

not been inserted.

When pouring in the softener in

compartment 3, avoid making it

overflow from the grate.

The washer-dryer automatically

adds the softener to the wash in

each programme.

In compartment 1:

Detergent for pre-washing (powder)

In compartment 2:

Detergent for washing

(powder or liquid)

In compartment 3:

Additives (softeners, perfumes, etc.)

In compartment 4:

Bleach and delicate bleach.

The secrets of the detergent dispenser

Its important for a good wash

The first secret is the easiest: the detergent

dispenser is opened by rotating it outwards.

Liquid detergent is to be poured

into compartment 2 only a few

seconds before starting the wash

cycle.

Remember that liquid detergent

is particularly indicated for wash

cycles of up to 60 degrees and

those not requiring pre-washing.

Liquid or powder detergents are

sold together with special

containers that are to be placed

directly inside the washer-dryer

drum, according to the

instructions found on the

detergent box.

Never use hand wash detergent,

because it may form too much

foam, which could damage the

washer-dryer.

Detergents that are specifically

indicated for both hand and

machine wash are an exception.

One last secret: when washing

with cold water, always reduce

the amount of detergent you use:

it dissolves less easily in cold

water than in hot water, so part

of it would be wasted.

Cutting costs efficiently

A guide to

environmentally

friendly and economic

use of your appliance.

MAXIMISE THE LOAD SIZE

Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent and time by using the

recommended maximum load size.

SAVE up to 50% energy by washing a full load instead of 2 half loads.

DO YOU NEED TO PRE-WASH?

For heavily soiled laundry only!

SAVE detergent, time, water and between 5 to 15% energy consumption by

NOT selecting Prewash for slight to normally soiled laundry.

IS A HOT WASH REQUIRED?

Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried in stains in water before

washing to reduce the necessity of a hot wash programme.

SAVE up to 50% energy by using a 60°C wash programme.

BEFORE USING A DRYING PROGRAMME ...

SAVE energy and time by selecting a high spin speed to reduce the water

content in laundry before using a drying programme.

Bleach cycle and stain remover

button

If bleaching is necessary, the ex-

tra case 4 (provided) must be

inserted into compartment 1 of

the detergent dispenser.

When pouring in the bleach, be

careful not to exceed the "max"

level indicated on the central

pivot (see illustration).

The use of the additional bleach

container excludes the

possibility of using the pre-wash

cycle. Traditional bleach can

only be used on sturdy white

fabrics, whereas delicate

bleach can be used for

coloured fabrics, synthetics

and for wool.

You cannot bleach with the Silk

Before calling, read the following

Troubleshooting

Your washer-dryer could fail to work. In most cases, the problems arising

can be easily solved without having to call for a technician. Before calling

for assistance, always check these points.

The washer-dryer fails

to start.

Is the plug correctly

inserted into the socket? It

could have been moved whilst

cleaning.

Is there electricity in the

house?

A circuit breaker could have

gone off, perhaps because too

many appliances are on at the

same time. Or perhaps because

of a general power failure in

your entire area.

Is the washer-dryer door

closed properly?

For safety reasons, the washer-

dryer cannot work if the door

is open or not shut properly.

Is the On/Off button

pressed?

If it is, then a programmed

start has been set.

Is the programmed start

knob, on those models

concerned, in the correct

position?

Is the water tap open? For

safety reasons, if the washer-

dryer does not load water, it

cannot start a wash cycle.

RIGHT

WRONG

Close the tap

after every wash

cycle.

Limit the use of

the washer-dryers

hydraulic system

and eliminate

leakage risks

when no-one is at

home.

Always leave the

appliance door

ajar to avoid bad

odours.

Clean the

appliances

exteriors

delicately.

To clean the

exteriors and the

rubber parts of

the appliance,

always use a rag

dipped in

lukewarm water

and soap.

Leave the washer-

dryer plugged in while

cleaning.

Even during mainte-

nance, the appliance

should always be

unplugged.

Use solvents and

aggressive abrasives.

Never use solvents or

abrasives to clean the

external and rubber

parts of the washer-

dryer.

Neglect the detergent

dispenser.

It is removable and

can easily be cleaned

by leaving it under

running water.

Go on holiday without

thinking about her.

Before leaving, always

make sure that the

washer-dryer is

unplugged and that

the water tap is

closed.

The washer-dryer

fails to load water.

Is the tap correctly

attached to the pipe ?

Is there a water shortage ?

There could be work in

progress in your building or

street.

Is there enough pressure?

The autoclave may be

malfunctioning.

Is the tap filter clean? If the

water is very calcareous, or if

work has recently been carried

out on the water piping, the tap

filter could be clogged with

particles and debris.

Is the rubber hose bent? The

tract of the rubber hose

bringing water to the washer-

dryer must be as straight as

possible. Make sure it is not

squashed or bent.

The programme

selector knob keeps

turning?

Wait a few minutes for the

drain pump to empty the tub,

switch Margherita off, select

one of the symbols stop/reset

, then switch it back on. If

the knob continues to turn, call

for assistance because it is

reporting an anomaly.

The washer-dryer

continuously loads

and unloads water.

Is the drain hose

positioned too low? It must

be installed at a height ranging

from 60 to 100 cm.

Is the hoses mouth

immersed in water?

Does the wall drainage

system have a breather

pipe? If the problem persists

even after these checks, close

the water tap, switch the

appliance off and call for

assistance.

If you live on an upper floor of

your building, there may be a

problem with your drain trap.

To solve this problem, a special

valve must be installed.

9 Margherita - Instructions for installation and use

ARGHERITA

Simple: with the new Ariston technology, you need less than

half of it, to get good results on twice as much!

This is why you cannot see the water through the door:

because there is little, very little of it, to respect the

environment yet without renouncing maximum cleanliness.

And, on top of that, you are also saving electricity.

But where did all the water go?

The washer-dryer

does not drain or spin.

Does the selected

programme foresee water

draining? Some wash cycles

require enabling the draining

manually.

Is the Anti-crease"

function -where provided -

enabled? This function require

enabling the draining

manually.

Is the drain pump clogged?

To check it, close the tap,

unplug the washer-dryer and

follow the instructions on page

12, or call for technical

assistance.

Is the drain hose bent? The

tract of the drain hose must be

as straight as possible. Make

sure it is not squashed or bent.

Is the washer-dryers drain

duct clogged? Is there an

extension of the drain hose? If

so, is it positioned incorrectly,

blocking the water flow?

The washer-dryer

vibrates too much

during the spin cycle.

Has the internal floating

unit been correctly

unblocked during

installation? See the

following page on installation

procedures.

Has the washer-dryer been

levelled correctly? The

levelling of the appliance

should be checked

periodically. In time, the

machine could move

imperceptibly. Adjust the feet

and check them with a level.

Is the appliance closed in

between furniture and a

wall? If it is not a built-in

model, the washer-dryer needs

to oscillate a bit during the

spin cycle. A few cm of space

should therefore be left around

it.

The washer-dryer

leaks.

Is the metal ring of the inlet

hose properly attached?

Close the tap, unplug the

appliance and try tightening its

attachment without forcing it.

Is the detergent dispenser

obstructed? Try extracting it

and washing it under tap

water.

Is the drain hose well

attached? Close the tap,

unplug the appliance and try

tightening its attachment.

Too much foam.

Is the detergent appropriate

for machine washing? Check

whether its label reads the

definition for machine wash

or hand and machine wash,

or other similar indications.

Is the correct amount being

used? An excessive amount of

detergent, besides producing

too much foam, does not

guarantee a more effective

wash, and causes scaling in the

internal parts of the appliance.

The washer-dryer

does not dry.

Check whether:

the plug has been correctly

inserted into the socket; there

is electricity in your home; the

appliance door has been shut

properly; a delayed start (if

available) has not been selected;

programme knob A has been set

to position (Stop/Reset); the

drying cycle knob C has been

set to position 0.

The washer-dryer

doesn't dry properly.

Check whether:

the end of the drain hose is

underwater; the drain pump is

obstructed; the advice given on

the maximum loads has been

taken; the water tap has been

turned on.

If, despite all checks, the washer-

dryer fails to function and the

problem persists, call your

nearest authorised Customer

Service Centre, providing the

following information:

- the type of malfunctioning

- the model type no. (Mod. ....)

- the serial number (S/N ....)

These indications can be found

on the data plate situated on the

It must never remain immersed

in water.

Extensions are unadvisable. In

case of absolute need, the

extension must have the same

diameter as the original hose and

must not exceed 150 cm. In case

of wall draining pipes, their

efficiency must be checked by a

qualified technician. If the

dwelling is on one of the upper

floors of a building, there may be

drain trap problems causing the

washer-dryer to load and unload

water continuously.

In order to avoid such an

inconvenience, special anti-drain

trap valves are available in shops.

Electric connection

Before connecting the appliance

to the electric socket, be sure

that:

1) the electric socket is able to

sustain the appliances

maximum power load

indicated on the data plate

and in compliance with the

law;

2) the supply voltage is included

within the values indicated

on the data plate;

3) the socket is compatible with

the appliances plug. If not,

do not use adapters, but

replace either the socket or

the plug;

4) electric household appliances

must be equipped with an

earthing system.

After removing the appliance

from its packaging, check that it

is intact. If in doubt, contact a

qualified technician immediately.

The inside of the machine is

blocked, for transportation, by

four screws on the back panel.

Before using the washer-dryer,

remove the screws, remove the

rubber with the aid of the special

spacer (keeping all the parts) and

use the plastic tabs provided to

fill in the holes.

Important: Use the cap (provided)

to close the 3 holes which housed

the stop pin, situated in the right-

hand part of the lower back of the

washer-dryer.

Part A must not be removed.

Levelling

The washer-dryer must be levelled

appropriatey in order to guarantee

its correct functioning. To level the

appliance, the front feet must be

adjusted; the angle of inclination,

measured according to the

worktop, must not exceed 2°.

When placed on carpet, make sure

the ventilation is not hampered

within its surroundings.

The front feet are adjustable.

Connection to the water

mains

Water pressure must range within

the values indicated on the data

plate on the rear of your washer-

dryer. If the water pipes are new

or left unused, then before

connecting the machine run the

water until clear to remove

debris. Connect the inlet hose to

a cold water tap having a ¾  BSP

thread. Ensure that the rubber

sealing washer-dryers are fitted at

each end of the inlet hose, with the

fitter washer-dryer at the tap end.

ARGHERITA

Treat her well and shell be your

friend forever

Easy Care and Maintenance

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.

Your safety and that of

your children

More and more important

Margherita has been built in compliance with

the strictest international safety regulations.

To protect you and all your family.

Read these indications and all

the information in this manual

carefully: they are an

important source, not only of

numerous useful tips, but also

of vital information on safety,

use and maintenance.

1. Margherita should not be

installed in an outdoor

environment, not even

when a roof shelters the

area, because it may be

very dangerous to leave it

exposed to rain and

thunderstorms.

2. It must only be used by

adults and exclusively for

washig clothes following

the instructions provided in

this manual.

3. Should it have to be moved,

proceed with the help of

two or three people and

handle it with the utmost

care. Never try to do this

alone, because the

appliance is very heavy.

4. Before loading the washer-

dryer, make sure the

drum is empty.

5. Never touch the washer-

dryer when barefoot or

with wet or damp hands

or feet.

6. Never use extensions or

multiple plugs, which are

particularly dangerous in

humid environments. The

power supply cable must

never be bent or

dangerously compressed.

7. Never open the detergent

dispenser while the

appliance is functioning;

do not use hand wash

detergent because the

abundance of foam could

damage its internal parts.

How to change the power supply cable

The Margherita power

supply cable is special and

can be purchased

exclusively from

authorised Technical

Service Centres.

To replace it, do as follows:

1. Make sure that Marghe-

rita is switched off and

unplugged.

2. Remove the covering lid

by unscrewing the two

screws I, and then pull it

towards you [fig. 3].

3. Disconnect the wires

from the radio interference

suppressor F [fig. 4] taking

care as to their position

(Blue=N wire; Brown=L

wire) leaving the earth wire

until last

N.B.: letters L, N and the

symbol are indicated on

the radio interference

suppressor.

4. Remove the upper part

of the cord lead slightly

from the back panel of the

appliance, pull the power

supply cable upwards and

take it out [fig. 5].

To connect the new power

supply cable, do the reverse.

To put the covering lid back

on, rest it on the washer-

dryer [fig. 6] and let it slide

forwards until the hooks

situated on the front slide

into the special slots

formed into the control

panel and tighten the

screws back on.

Fig. 3

Fig. 4

Fig. 5

Fig. 6

8. Never pull on the plug or

the washer-dryer to

disconnect it from the wall

socket: it is extremely

dangerous.

9. While the appliance is

functioning, do not touch

the drain water as it

could reach very high

temperatures. The

appliance door, during

wash cycles, tends to

become heated; keep it

out of childrens reach.

Never force the washer-

dryer door because this

could damage the safety

block on the opening,

which serves to protect

from accidental openings.

10. In case of malfunctio-

ning, first close the

water tap and unplug the

appliance from the wall

socket; do not under any

circumstances touch

internal parts in order to

attempt repairs.

I only want an

authorised specialised

technician with original

Ariston spare parts!
