Treat your machine well and it will provide

Easy Care and Maintenance
Your washing machine 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 washing machine
designed to provide reliable
service over many years. A few
simple steps will help to prolong
its life and avoid problems. It is
advisable, to turn off water taps
when the machine is not to be
used, this protects the hoses, etc.
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 washing machine 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
washing machine.
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.
Attention: Before attempting to examine this pre-chamber,
first ensure that the machine has finished its programme and
is empty. Unplug the machine, as with any maintenance.
To gain access gently ease down the top of the plinth panel
situated at the base of the machine, with a screwdriver etc,
to release it. Then ease the top edge forward to allow it to be
lifted clear (Fig. 1). Place a shallow dish or tray below the
cover of the pre-chamber to catch the small amount of water
present. Release the cover by turning anti-clockwise (Fig. 2).
Ensure that the cover is securely replaced.
Re-fit the plinth cover by inserting the hooks on its lower
edge into the slots and ease the top edge back into position.
The water inlet hose
Check the rubber hose at least once a year. If you see any cracks, replace it immediately. When you use your washing
machine, water pressure is very strong and a cracked tube could easily split open.
