YOUR NEW WASHER-DRYER

This new machine meets all requirements for a modern washing of laundry with reduced consumption of water, energy and detergent. It will provide you with soft laundry in any weather.

The temperature selector dial allows you to choose personally the suitable washing temperature for your laundry.

The automatic cooling of the washing water from 90°C to 60°C before draining will prevent plastic pipes of your drainage system from being deformed.

The special wool programme will wash your wool items safely without shrinking tanks to the extremely gentle washing action.

Unpacking

You are advised to keep all the packaging for re-use in case the machine has to be transported again.

1. Using a spanner unscrew and remove the rear right bolt. Lay the machine gently on its back, making sure that the hoses are not squashed.

2. Remove the polystyrene block from underneath the machine.

3. Release the two polythene bags by removing the adhesive strip.

4. Carefully remove the right polythene bag (1) by pulling it towards the centre of the machine.Repeat the operation for the left polythene bag (2).

5. Set the machine upright and remove the two remaining bolts from the back.

6. Pull out the three plastic spacers from the holes into which the bolts were fitted.

7. Plug the open holes with the plugs which you will find in the bag containing the instruction book.

Positioning

Install the machine on a flat hard floor. Make sure that air circulation around the

machine is not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that the machine does not touch the wall or other kitchen units.

Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in or out. Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor.

Before starting the machine up, the packing must be removed as follows.

P1051

Water inlet

Connect the water inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4" thread after having inserted the small filter “A” supplied with the machine.

The other end of the inlet hose which connects to the machine can be turned in any direction. Simply loosen the fitting, rotate the hose and retighten the fitting, making sure there are no water leaks.

The inlet hose must not be lengthened.If it is too short and you do not wish to move the tap, you will have to purchase a new, longer hose specially designed for this type of use.

Water drainage

The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:

Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plastic hose guide supplied with the machine. In this case, make sure the end

cannot come unhooked when the machine is emptying.

This could be done by tying it to the tap with a piece of string or attaching it to the wall.

In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must be above the trap so that the bend is at least 60 cm above the ground.

Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm.

The end of the drain hose must always be ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain pipe must be larger than the outside diameter of the drain hose.

The drain hose must not be kinked.Run it along the floor; only the part near the drainage point must be raised.

Electrical connection

This machine is designed to operate on a 230 V, single-phase, 50 Hz supply.

Check that your domestic electrical installation can take the maximum load required (2.2 kW), also taking into account any other appliances in use.

Connect the machine to an earthed socket.
