Warnings

P1076

The following warnings are provided in the interests of overall safety. You must read them carefully before
installing or using the appliance.

General safety

• Repairs to the machine must be carried out only by
qualified personnel. Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons could cause serious
danger. Contact your local Service Centre.

• Never start the machine if the electrical supply
cable is damaged or the control panel or worktop
are so damaged that inner components can be
reached.

• Unplug the appliance before carrying out any
cleaning or maintenance operations.

• Never pull the power supply cable to remove the
plug from the socket; always take hold of the plug
itself.

• Never spray the machine with a jet of water.
Danger of electric shock!

• During high temperature wash programmes the
door glass may get hot. Do not touch it!

• Let the water cool down before carrying out
emergency emptying or before opening the door in
an emergency.

• Small animals can gnaw electric wires and water
hoses causing electrocution hazard and damage
due to water leaks.

• Do not use your machine for dry cleaning.

• Dyes and bleaching agents may only be used if
specifically permitted by the manufacturer of these
products. We cannot be held responsible for any
damage.

• Always unplug the appliance and turn off the water
tap after use.

Child safety

• Children are often not aware of how dangerous
electrical appliances can be. When the machine is
working, children should be carefully supervised
and not be allowed to play with the appliance ­there is a risk that they could become trapped
inside.

• The packaging components (e.g. plastic film,
polystyrene) can be dangerous to children - danger
of suffocation! Keep them out of children’s reach.

• Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children’s
reach.

• When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the
electrical supply cable and destroy the plug with
the remaining cable. Disable the door catch in
order to prevent children from becoming trapped
inside while playing.

Positioning, connection, starting up

• Follow the instructions for positioning and
connection.

• Carry out a first wash without laundry (COTTONS
60, with half the amount of detergent) in order to
remove any manufacturing residue from the tub
and the drum.

• Should the machine be purchased in winter, when
temperatures can be below 0°, leave the appliance
for 24 hours at ambient temperature before starting it.

Proper use

• This appliance is designed for domestic use only. If
the machine is used for any other purposes or is
not used correctly, the manufacturer accepts no
responsibility for any damage that might occur.

• For safety reasons, the appliance must not be
modified.

• Use only detergents suitable for washing machines
and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Garments which have been in contact with
flammable solvents should not be machine washed.

Child safety feature

• This machine incorporates a special child safety
feature to prevent small children from being
trapped inside the machine.

To activate this device, rotate the button (without
pressing it) inside the door clockwise until the
groove is horizontal. If necessary use a coin. To
disable this device and restore the possibility of
closing the door, rotate the button anti-clockwise
until the groove is vertical.

Disposal

ENGLISH

Packaging materials

The materials marked with the symbol are
recyclable.

>PE<=polyethylene
>PS<=polystyrene
>PP<=polypropylene

This means that they can be recycled by disposing of
them properly in appropriate collection containers.

Tips for environmental protection

To save water, energy and to help protect the
environment, we recommend that you follow these
tips:

• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without
prewashing in order to save detergent, water and
time (the environment is protected too!).

• The machine works more economically if it is fully
loaded.

Machine

Use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance.
Help to keep your country tidy!

• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited
soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be
washed at a lower temperature.

• Measure out detergent according to the water
hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of
laundry being washed.

Unpacking

All transit bolts and packing must be removed
before using the appliance.

You are advised to keep all transit devices so that
they can be refitted if the machine ever has to be
transported again.

1. Using a spanner, unscrew and remove the two
rear bottom screws. Slide out the two plastic pins.

2. Lay the machine on its back, taking care not to
squash the hoses. This can be avoided by
placing one of the corner packing pieces between
the machine and the floor.

3. Remove the polystyrene block from the bottom of
the machine and release the two plastic bags.

7. Plug the open holes with the plugs which are
supplied with the instruction booklet.

ENGLISH

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.

4. Very carefully slide out the left polythene bag,
removing it towards the right and then downwards.

5. Very carefully slide out the right polythene bag,
removing it towards the left and then upwards.

6. Set the machine upright and remove the
remaining rear screw from the back. Slide out
the relevant pin.

Water inlet

Connect the water inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4" thread.
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.

P1088

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.

7

Water drainage

P0023

P0022

Electrical connection

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.

This machine is designed to operate on a 220-230 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.

The manufacturer declines any responsibility
for damage or injury through failure to comply
with the above safety precaution.
Should the appliance power supply cable
need to be replaced, this should be carried
out by our Service Centre.

The power supply cable must be easily
accessible after installing the machine.
