Warnings

P1131

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

Installation

• All internal packing must be removed before using
the appliance. Serious damage may be caused to
the machine or adjacent furniture if the protective
transit devices are not removed or are not
completely removed. Refer to the relevant
paragraph in the instruction book.

• Any electrical work required to install this
appliance must be carried out by a qualified
electrician.

• Any plumbing work required to install this
appliance must be carried out by a qualified
plumber.

• After having installed the machine, check that it is
not standing on its electrical supply cable.

• If the appliance is placed on a carpeted floor,
ensure that air can circulate freely between the
feet and the floor.

Use

• This appliance is designed for domestic use. It
must not be used for purposes other than those
for which it was designed.

• Only wash fabrics which are designed to be
machine washed. Follow the instructions on each
garment label.

• Do not overload the appliance. Follow the
instructions in the instruction book.

• Make sure that all pockets are empty. Objects
such as coins, safety pins, pins and screws can
cause extensive damage.

• Do not machine wash garments saturated with
petroleum, methylated spirits, trichlorethylene, etc.
If such fluids have been used to remove stains
prior to washing, wait until they have completely
evaporated from the fabric before placing
garments in the appliance.

• Place small items such as socks, belts, etc. in a
cloth bag or pillowcase to prevent them getting
trapped between the drum and the tub.

• Use only the recommended quantities of fabric
softener. An excessive amount could damage the
laundry.

• Leave the porthole door slightly ajar when the
appliance is not in use. This preserves the door
seal and prevents the formation of musty smells.

• Always check that water has emptied out before
opening the door. If not, drain the water following
the instructions in the instruction book.

• Always unplug the appliance and shut the water
tap after use.

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 pull the power supply cable to remove the
plug from the socket; always take hold of the plug
itself.

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

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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

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 all the holes with the plugs which you will
find in the envelope containing the instruction
booklet.

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. Slide out the relevant pin.

Water inlet

P0021

P1088

P1118

P0022

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

Do not use already employed hoses for water
connection.

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.

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.

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.

Important!

Before connecting up the machine to new pipework
or to pipework that has not been used for some
time, run off a reasonable amount of water to flush
out any debris that may have collected in the pipes.

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.

ENGLISH

For a correct functioning of the machine the
drain hose must remain hooked on the proper
support piece situated on the top part of the back
side of the appliance.

Electrical connection

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 must be carried out
by our Service Centre.

Please ensure that when the appliance is
installed the power supply cable is easily
accessible.
