Here are the 12 topics explained in this manual. Read,
learn and have fun: you will discover many secret
ways to get a better wash, more easily and making
your washing machine last longer.
Quick guide to
Margherita
1.
Installation and removal (p. 10)
Installation, after delivery or transport, is the most important
operation for the correct functioning of your Margherita washing
machine. 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 is levelled properly; something worth
checking for the life of your washer and the quality of
your wash;
4. That the drum's fixing screws have been removed from the back
of the washer.
2.
What goes in your washing machine and how
to start your Margherita (p. 2)
A correct distribution of your laundry is vital to the successful
outcome of the wash and the life of the washing machine. Learn all
the tips and secrets to dividing your linen: colour, type of fabric.
3.
Guide to understanding labels (p. 5)
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. 6)
Years 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
wool even better than an expert laundress would by hand.
5.

What goes in your washer?
Before washing, you can do a great deal to ensure better results. Divide your
garments according to fabric and colour. Read the labels, follow their guidelines.
Before washing.
Divide your washing according to
the type of fabric and colour
fastness.
Empty all pockets (coins, paper,
money and small obejects) and
ensure all loose buttons are
repaired or removed prior to
loading.
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, to help prevent
future problems and enhance life
expectancy of your appliance.
Once you have loaded your
washing machine and added the
detergent together with any
fabric conditioner, always check
that:
1. The door is closed correctly.
2. The plug is secured in the
socket.
3. The water supply is turned on.
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 L, set the tem-
perature using knob B and, if
necessary, use buttons D, E and
F and then press on/off button G
(position ON).
After installing your new washing machine, 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...
The I lamp to extinguish: it will
take about three minutes.
Then turn Margherita off by
pressing on-off button G (OFF
position). You can now open the
washing machine door safely.
After having removed the freshly
cleaned washing, leave the door
open to allow air circulation
inside the drum.
Always disconnect electricity at
the socket and turn off the water
supply.
Remember that, in the event
of a power failure, or should
the washing machine switch
itself off, the programme
chosen will remain in its
memory.
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 possible way.
The table on page 5 shows all
meanings behind these symbols.
Their recommendations are
important to achieve better
wash results
2
Big and small happily
together.
This washing machine has a special
electronic control device for even
distribution: before the spin cycle
starts, this device allows the
garments to positions themselves,
to minimise noise and vibrations
during the spin cycle.

The door block lamp
The safety lamp indicates that the
washing machine door is locked
to prevent it from being opened
accidentally. To avoid any
damages to lock mechanism, you
must wait for the lamp to
extinguish, before attempting to
open the door which takes
around three minutes.
Silk and curtains: press button
D and Margherita will drain the
water.
Synthetic fabrics: press button D
if you want a spin cycle, or turn
knob A to symbol
if you
want the water to be drained.
With Daily wash, this function
is not enabled.
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.
Prewash
With this button, you can pre-
wash on all programmes except
the wool programme and the
special programmes (see page 4).
On-off
When button G is pressed, the
washing machine is switched on,
when it is not the machine is
switched off.
Turning the appliance off does
not cancel the selected
programme.
The on-off lamp
Lamp H flashes when the
appliance is switched on and
awaiting a programme to be set.
A steady light means the
appliance has accepted 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 L.
Now press on/off button G
(position ON), pilot lamp H will
start flashing.
After 5", the setting will be
accepted, pilot lamp H 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 H
flashes, and you can then turn the
appliance off.
Delay timer
You can use this knob to delay
the appliance's operation.
Select one of the four delay time
positions, press the on/off button
G (position ON) and wait 5". The
setting has now been accepted
(pilot lamp H stays lit) and you
can select the programme you
desire.
Pilot lamp H 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 washing
machine, 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 in the recommended
programme table on pag. 4. It also
allows you to reduce the tempe-
rature recommended for the
selected programme, and even to
set a cold wash cycle (
).
Detergent dispenser
It is divided into three
compartments:
1. Detergent for pre-wash;
2. Detergent for the main cycle
wash;
3. Fabric conditioner.
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:
The detergent dispenser is here.

Useful tips
Never use your washing
machine to wash... torn, fraying
or non-hemmed linen. If it is
absolutely neccessary, place it in
a bag for protection. Do not wash
coloured linen with whites.
Watch the weight!
For best results, do not exceed
the weight limits stated below
(figures show weight of dry
garments):
- Resistant fabrics:
5 kg maximum
- Synthetic fabrics:
2.5 kg maximum
- Delicate fabrics:
2 kg maximum
- Pure new wool:
1 kg maximum
How to wash almost anything
Curtains.
Curtains tend to crease a great
deal. A useful tip to reduce
creasing: fold the curtains and
place them in a pillow case or
mesh bag. Do not load anything
else inside the appliance, this will
ensure 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 even
wash them with jeans or any
other tough garments. Do not
wash trainers with whites.
Quilted coats and anorak.
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 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.
Dungaree alert.
Very popular salopette type
overalls have straps with hooks
that can damage the drum of your
washing machine or other
garments during the wash. To
minimise the risk, place hooks in
the pocket and fasten with safety
pins.
Holidays: unplug the
appliance.
It is recommended that you
should unplug the machine from
the socket and turn off the water
supply. Leave the door ajar to
allow air circulation to the draw
and the door gasket area. This
will prevent unpleasant odours.

For best results, we
recommend you use a
specific detergent, taking
care not to wash more
than 1 kg of laundry.

Margherita - Instructions for installation and use
You must follow the dosage
recommendations provided by
the manufacturers when adding
detergent or fabric conditioner.
Doses will vary according to the
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.
Ensure no overfilling when adding
fabric conditioner in compart-
ment 3.
The washing machine automa-
tically adds the softener to the
wash in each programme.
Liquid detergent is poured into
compartment 2 just a few
seconds before starting the wash
cycle.
Remember that liquid detergent
is only designed for wash cycles
of up to 60 degrees on non pre-
wash items, so you will not have
to use button F.
In compartment 1:
Detergent for pre-washing (powder)
In compartment 2:
Detergent for washing
(powder or liquid)
In compartment 3:
Additives (softeners, perfumes, etc.)
Useful tips about 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.
Special containers are sold with
liquid or powder detergents for
placing inside the washing
machine drum, these are
positioned according to the
instructions found in the
detergent box
Never use hand wash detergent,
because it may form too much
foam, which could damage the
washing machine.
Detergents that are specifically
formulated 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 the highest suitable spin speed to reduce
the water content in laundry before using a drying programme.
The detergent dispenser can be
removed and cleaned: just lift it up
and pull it outwards ,as indicated in
the figure. Then leave it under running
water for a few minutes.

Before calling, read the following
Troubleshooting
In most cases, when your washing machine fails to work, the problems
arising can be easily solved without having to call for a technician. Before
calling for assistance, always check these points.
The washing machine
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 may have
switched off as a result of too
many electrical appliances
working at the same time. Or
maybe due to a general failure
in your entire area.
Is the washing machine door
closed properly?
For safety reasons, the
washing machine 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, in the correct position
for those models concerned?
Is the water supply turned
on? For safety reasons, if the
washing machine does not
load water, it cannot start a
wash cycle.
RIGHT
WRONG
Turn off the water
supply after use.
This will eliminate
the possibility of
leakage.
Always leave the
appliance door
ajar to avoid bad
odours.
Clean the
appliances
exteriors gently.
To clean the
exteriors and the
rubber parts of
the appliance,
always use a soft
cloth dipped in
warm and soapy
water.
Leave the washing
machine 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 washing
machine.
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
washing machine is
unplugged and that
the water supply is
turned off.
The washing machine
fails to fill with
water.
Is the hose correctly
connected to the tap?
Is there a water shortage ?
There could be work in
progress in your building or
street.
Is there sufficient water
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 kinked?
The tract of the rubber hose
bringing water to washing
machine must be as straight as
possible. Make sure it is not
squashed or kinked.
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
showing an anomaly.
The washing machine
continuously fills and
drains water.
Is the drain hose
positioned too low? It must
be installed at a height ranging
from 60 to 100 cm.
Is the end of the hose
immersed in water?
Does the wall drainage
system have a breather
pipe? If the problem persists
even after these checks, turn
the water supply off the
machine 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.
8
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 washing machine
does not drain or
spin.
Does the selected
programme incorporates
water draining? Some
programmes stop at the end of
the wash cycles and draining
will have to be selected
manually.
Is the Rinse-Hold"
function -where provided -
enabled? This function
requires manual selection for
draining.
Is the drain pump clogged?
To check it, turn off the water
supply, unplug the washing
machine and follow the
instructions on page 12, or call
for technical assistance.
Is the drain hose kinked?
The tract of the drain hose
must be as straight as possible.
Make sure the drain hose is not
squashed or kinked.
Is the washing machines
drain duct clogged? Is there
an extension of the drain
hose? If so, is it positioned
incorrectly, blocking the water
flow?
Excessive vibration
during the spin cycle.
Have all transit screws been
removed durind instal-
lation? See the following
page on installation
procedures.
Has the washing machine
been levelled correctly? The
levelling of the appliance
should be checked
periodically. Adjust the feet
and check them with a level.
Is there space between the
machine and adjacent units?
If it is not a built-in model, the
washing machine will oscillate
a bit during the spin cycle. A
few cm of space should
therefore be left around it.
The washing machine
leaks.
Is the metal ring of the inlet
hose properly attached? Turn
off the water supply, unplug
the appliance and try
tightening its attachment
without forcing it.
Is the detergent dispenser
obstructed? Remove and
wash it under tap water.
Is the drain hose well
attached? Turn off the water
supply, unplug the appliance
and try tightening its
attachment.
Too much foam.
Is the detergent appropriate
for machine washing? Check
whether the definition on its
label reads for machine wash
or hand and machine wash,
or any other similar wording.
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.
If, despite all checks, the
washing machine fails to
function and the problem
persists, call your nearest
authorised Customer Service
Centre, providing the following
information:
- the nature of malfunction
- the model type no. (Mod. ....)
- the serial number (S/N ....)
This information can be found on
the data plate situated at the back
of the washing machine.
