Hay guys and gals! my new candy aquamatic washing machine came today and it feels nice and solid and well built. its made in Italy which is also good to know, i havent a clue when it will get installed but onething i dont like about it is the fact that the shipping bracket is on the bottom of the machine ugh!
but still i am soon going to be able to use it, what programme would you suggest i do the test wash without clothes in it on? any way enough chatter pix will be up later! :)
Tom:)

Most manufacturers recommend a 60 deg cotton wash with no clothes as the first cycle

I would recommend that you do not sit it ontop of another machine. As with all machines is is best situated on a solid well supported floor.

Post# 529326 , Reply# 15   7/7/2011 at 14:46 (4,676 days old) by aegokocarat (United Kingdom)        

I havent got any room for it on a floor :(

Bet you can't wait to get it up & running. Such a cute machine. At least it has a 1000rpm spin speed. When i had one quite a few years ago i think the top speed was around 550rpm.
