Installation
GB
Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future
reference. Should the appliance be sold, transferred or
moved, make sure the instruction manual
accompanies the washing machine to inform the new
owner as to its operation and features.
! Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital
information on installation, use and safety.
Unpacking
1. Unpack the machine.
2. Check whether the machine has been damaged
during transport. If this is the case, do not install it and
contact your retailer.

Levelling
Your machine will be noisy if the two front feet are not
adjusted so that the machine stands firm and level.
! The machine should be levelled from side to side and
from front to back.
1. Move your machine into its final location.
- Take care not to trap or kink
the hoses.
2. Turn one or both front feet
anti-clockwise by hand until the
feet cannot be turned any more.
When adjusting the feet, use a
spirit level to check the machine
stands level, from side to side
and from front to back.
- The spring on each foot will stop them coming loose.
! If it is placed on a fitted or loose carpet, adjust the
feet in such a way as to allow enough room for
ventilation beneath the machine.
Water connection
Connecting the water inlet hose.
Remember that this is a cold-fill machine.
! Check that seal is in place
inside the hose end cap.
2. STOP when 3 threads can be
seen.
3. Hold, slide sideways and pull
to remove.
4. For safety, insert one of the
the plastic covers (supplied with
your machine) over the hole.
! Repeat steps 1 to 4 to remove
the second transit bolt.
! Packaging materials are not
children’s toys.
Before making the water connections to gas ¾ thread,
allow the water to run freely from the supply tap until it
is perfectly clear.
Screw the inlet end with the blue
cap onto the cold water supply
tap.
Turn the taps on and check for leaks: tighten if
necessary.
! Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the hose.
! The water pressure at the tap must be within the
values indicated in the Technical details table (next
page).
! If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact a
specialist store or an authorised serviceman.
! Always use new hoses.
! Check the water hose at least once a year, replace
any that are cracked as worn hoses could split under
water pressure.

Drainage connections
B
A
The free end of the hose should not be under water.
! We advise against the use of hose extensions. In
case of absolute need, the extension must have the
same diameter as the original hose and must not
exceed 150cm in length.
A. Connect the drain
hose, without kinking it,
to a draining duct or a
wall drain fixed at a
height between 65 and
100cm from the floor.
B. Alternatively, place it
over the edge of a basin,
sink or tub, fastening the
hose supplied to the tap.
The first wash cycle
Once the appliance has been installed and before you
use it for the first time, run a wash cycle without
detergent and no laundry, setting the 90°C
programme without a pre-wash cycle.

Electrical connections
Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket,
make sure that:
• the socket is earthed and in compliance with the
applicable law.
• the socket is able to sustain the appliances
maximum power load indicated in the Technical
Details table (on the right).
• the supply voltage is included within the values
indicated in the Technical Details table (on the right).
• the socket is compatible with the washing machines
plug. If this is not the case, replace the socket or
the plug.
! The washing machine should not be installed in an
outdoor environment, not even when the area is
sheltered, because it may be very dangerous to leave
it exposed to rain and thunderstorms.
! When the washing machine is installed, the mains
socket must be within easy reach and should be
connected to a suitable electrical supply.
! Do not use extensions or multiple sockets.
! The power supply cable must never be bent or
dangerously compressed.
! The power supply cable must only be replaced by an
