General Safety Instructions (Cont.)
- Clothes that have any residues of flammable materials, as this may result in fire
or explosion. For example, articles that have been cleaned in, washed in, soaked
in, or dabbed with industrial chemicals, or combustible or explosive substances
(such as wax, oil, paint, petrol, alcohol, degreasers, dry-cleaning solvents,
kerosene, etc.). Items containing such substances must be washed by hand or
rinsed thoroughly before they may be machine-washed.
• Flammable, explosive or toxic substances must not be used as washing
detergents or for cleaning the machine.
• Capacity: Do not overload the washer; its maximum capacity is 8kg (max. weight of
dry wash load).
• Water intake: Never refill the water by hand during washing.
• After use: After the program is finished, wait until the drum has stopped spinning
and the door lock icon is no longer lit before opening the door. If water is still visible,
do not attempt to open the door. Do not add or remove clothes while the drum is
spinning.
• Disconnect the water and power supplies after use.
CAUTION: Hot!
• During a hot wash, the door window may become hot. Do not touch it, and ensure
to keep children and pets away from the machine during operation.
• Be careful of burning when the machine drains hot washing water.
Cleaning and maintenance
• Disconnect: Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance, always unplug the
appliance from the power supply.
• CAUTION! After each wash, clean the door and the door seals and remove any
threads, lint or foreign objects. Also check the detergent drawer and clean out
detergent residues. Regularly clean the power plug to remove dust and dirt and avoid
contact failure. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be carried out by children
without supervision. Do not spray the machine with water.
• CAUTION! Cleaning the inside of your washing machine regularly is particularly
important if you frequently use a cold wash cycle, especially if you also use a
fabric softener. Liquid detergents can cause detergent scum to build up around
the outside of the drum, which cold water will not remove and which can cause
bacteria, unpleasant odours, and eventually soiling of your wash load.
• Do not open the housing: The washing machine has no user-serviceable parts
contained within. Do not attempt to repair, dismantle or modify it.
• Service: Only have the appliance serviced by authorised service personnel. Service
or repairs carried out by inexperienced or unqualified persons may cause injury
and/or make more serious repairs to the appliance necessary.

Unpacking
Unpacking the washing machine
CAUTION: EXTREMELY HEAVY!
• A team lift or mechanical aid is required when moving this appliance.
• Keep the washing machine as upright as possible during transportation.
• This product has been packaged to
protect it against transportation damage.
Remove all packaging materials from
around the appliance and inside the
drum, including the foam base (Fig. 1).

Installation
Removing the transit bolts
WARNING!
• Before installing the washing machine, you must remove the transit bolts from the
back of the housing and cover the holes with the transit hole caps provided.
• The bolts hold the drum in place during transport but they must be removed
before use so the drum can move during the wash and spin cycles.
Leaving the bolts installed will result in strong shock and noise during use,
malfunction and serious damage to the machine.
• Dismantle the four transit bolts from the
back of the washing machine using an
appropriate tool (Fig. 2).
• Keep the bolts in a safe place; you will
need them again when moving the
machine, if you move house, for example.
• Cover the holes with the supplied transit
hole caps.
Fig. 2
Selecting the location
Before installing the appliance, make sure the
location meets the following requirements:
• A concrete floor is the most suitable
installation surface for a washing machine,
being far less prone to vibration during the
spin cycle than wooden floorboards or a
carpeted surface.
• The machine must be level and securely
positioned. It must be protected from direct
sunlight, water and weather.
• The distance between the machine and wall
must be more than 10cm (Fig. 3).
• To avoid vibrations during spinning, the machine
should not be installed on soft floor coverings.
If the appliance must be placed on a carpeted
surface, place a plastic mat underneath and
ensure any ventilation openings in the base are
not obstructed.

Installation (Cont.)
Levelling the machine
WARNING!
It is very important to level the washing machine carefully, especially if your floor is
uneven. Failure to do so may result in the machine shaking and moving during the
spin cycle, or out-of-balance problems.
Place the machine on solid, dry and level ground. The machine must stand perfectly
level on all four feet to ensure safe and proper operation. Incorrect installation may
cause vibrations and noise and may cause the machine to move about.
To determine whether levelling is necessary, place a spirit level on top of the washer
and hold it upright against the housing to identify any inclinations. If the machine
needs levelling, proceed as follows (Fig. 4):

Adjustable feet
• Loosen the lock nut with a spanner, turning it anticlockwise to loosen.
• Adjust the foot by hand until it makes close contact with the floor. Turn it
clockwise to lower the foot or anticlockwise to raise it.
• When the machine is level, use a spanner to turn the lock nut in a clockwise
direction to tighten.
WARNING!
The lock nuts on all four feet must be screwed tightly against the housing, otherwise
the machine may vibrate noisily during operation.
