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 washing
machine, make sure the
drum is empty.
5. Never touch the washing
machine 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 washing
machine [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.

8. Never pull on the plug or
the washing machine 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 childrens reach.
Never force the washing
machine 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!
