Installation

	AUS	! This instruction manual should be kept in a
		safe place for future reference. If the washing
		machine is sold, given away or moved, please
		ensure the manual is kept with the machine,
		so that the new owner may benefit from the
		advice contained within it.
		! Read these instructions carefully: they
		contain vital information relating to the safe
		installation and operation of the appliance.
		! Inside the pack containing this manual, you
		will also find the guarantee and all the details
		necessary for installation.
		Unpacking and levelling
		Unpacking
		1. Once you have removed all the packaging
		from the washing machine, make sure it has
		not been damaged during transportation.
		If it has been damaged, contact the retailer
		and do not proceed any further with the
		installation process.
		2. Remove the 4
		protective screws
		(used during
		transportation) and
		the corresponding
		spacer, located on
		the rear part of the
		appliance (see figure).

3.Close off the holes using the plastic plugs supplied in the pack.

4.Keep all the parts in a safe place; they will be needed again if the washing machine is moved to another location, to prevent the inside of the appliance being damaged.

! Packaging materials should not be used as toys for children.

Levelling

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

2. If the floor is uneven, the front feet of the machine may be adjusted until it reaches a horizontal position (the angle of inclination must not exceed 2 degrees).

!If the appliance is levelled correctly, it will be more stable and much less likely to cause vibrations and noise while it is operating, particularly during the spin cycle.

!If it is placed on carpet or a rug, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow a sufficient ventilation space underneath the washing machine.

Connecting the electricity and water supplies

Connecting the water inlet hose

! Before connecting the inlet hose to the water supply, run the water until it is perfectly clear.

1. Connect the inlet hose to the machine by screwing it onto the cold water inlet of the appliance, which is situated on the top right-hand side of the rear part of the appliance (see figure).

2. Connect the inlet hose by screwing it to a cold water tap using a 3/4 gas threaded connection (see figure).

3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over or bent.

! The water pressure at the tap must fall within the values indicated in the Technical data table

(see next page).

!If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialised shop or an authorised technician.

!Never use second-hand or old inlet hoses; use the products supplied with the machine.

Connecting the drain hose

65 - 100 cm

Connect the drain hose to drain duct piping or a wall drain located between 65 and 100 cm above the floor, making sure it is not bent at all.

Alternatively, rest the drain hose on the side of a washbasin or bathtub, fastening the duct supplied to the tap (see figure).

The free end of the hose should not be underwater.

! We advise against the use of hose extensions; if it is absolutely necessary, the extension must have the same diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 150 cm in length.

Electrical connections

Before plugging the appliance into the electricity socket, make sure that:

•the socket is earthed and complies with all applicable laws;

•the socket is able to withstand the maximum power load of the appliance as indicated in the Technical data table (see opposite);

•the power supply voltage falls within the values indicated in the Technical data table

(see opposite);

• the socket is compatible with the plug of the washing machine. If this is not the case, replace the socket or the plug.

!The washing machine must not be installed outdoors, even in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the appliance exposed to rain, storms and other weather conditions.

!Once the machine has been installed, the electricity socket should be easily accessible.

!Avoid using any extension cord or multiple socket outlet.

! CAUTION: if this appliance is supplied from a
		AUS
cord extension set or electrical portable outlet
device, the cord extension set or electrical
portable outlet device
must be positioned so that it is not subject to
splashing or ingress of moisture.

!The cable should not be bent or compressed.

!The cable should be replaced only by authorised technicians.

!If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

Warning! The company shall not be held responsible in the event that these regulations are not respected.

Care and maintenance

	Cutting off the water and
AUS
	electricity supplies
	• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle.
	This will limit wear on the hydraulic system in
	the machine and help to prevent leaks.
	• Unplug the appliance when cleaning it and
	during all maintenance work.
	Cleaning the machine
	The outer parts and rubber components of the
	appliance can be cleaned using a soft cloth
	soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use
	solvents or abrasives.

To remove the drawer, press lever (1) and pull the drawer outwards (2)

(see figure).

Wash it under running water; this procedure should be repeated frequently.

Caring for your appliance drum

•Always leave the door ajar to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.

Cleaning the pump

The washing machine is fitted with a selfcleaning pump which does not require any maintenance. Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into the protective pre-chamber at the base of the pump.

! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug the appliance.

To access the pre-chamber:

1. take off the cover panel on the front of the machine by first pressing it in the centre and then pushing downwards on both sides until you can remove it (see figures);

2. position a container so that it will collect the water which flows out (approximately 1.5 l)

(see figure);

3. unscrew the lid by rotating it in an anticlockwise direction (see figure);

4.clean the inside thoroughly;

5.screw the lid back on;

6.reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely in place before you push it onto the appliance.

Checking the water inlet hose

Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If there are any cracks, it should be replaced immediately: during the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose could easily split open.
