Installation

! 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 washing machine.

2. Check whether the washing machine has been damaged during transport. If this is the case, do not install it and contact your retailer.

Remove the transit fixings

Follow these instructions to remove the TWO transit fixings.

IMPORTANT: Situated one either side of the rear panel, both transit bolts (complete with spacers) MUST be removed before use... Failure to do so

may cause damage to your machine!

1. Use a crosshead screwdriver to remove the plastic cover.

For safety, replace both plastic covers over the holes left by removing the two bolts.

! Packaging materials are not childrens toys.

Levelling

1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor, without resting it up against walls, cabinets etc.

2. Compensate for any unevenness by tightening or loosening the adjustable front feet. The angle of inclination, measured according to the worktop must not exceed 2˚.

Levelling your appliance correctly will provide it with stability and avoid any vibrations, noise and shifting during operation. 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 washing 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. Unscrew the bolt using a 13mm spanner.

OP when 3 threads can

3. ST be seen.

4. Hold, slide and pull to remove.

! It is important the transit bolt and spacer come out intact (see pic).

Before making the water connections to gas 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.

Installation

Drainage connections

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 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.

Electrical connections

! 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 authorised serviceman.

WARNING! The company denies all liability if and when these norms are not respected.

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.
