Installation

This instruction manual should be kept in a safe GB place for future reference. If the washing machine is

sold, transferred or moved, make sure that the instruction manual remains with the machine so that the new owner is able to familiarise himself/herself with its operation and features.

Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital information relating to the safe installation and operation of the appliance.

Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking

1.Remove the washing machine from its packaging.

2.Make sure that the washing machine has not been damaged during the transportation process. If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any further with the installation process.

3. Remove the 4 protective screws (used during transportation) and the rubber washer with the corresponding spacer, located on the rear part of the appliance (see figure).

4.Close off the holes using the plastic plugs provided.

5.Keep all the parts in a safe place: you will need them again if the washing machine needs to be moved to another location.

Packaging materials should not be used as toys for children.

Levelling

1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor, without resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or anything else.

2. If the floor is not perfectly level, compensate for any unevenness by tightening or loosening the adjustable front feet (see figure); the angle of inclination, measured in relation to the worktop, must not exceed 2°.

Levelling the machine correctly will provide it with stability, help to avoid vibrations and excessive noise and prevent it from shifting while it is operating. 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

1. Connect the supply pipe by screwing it to a cold water tab using a ¾ gas threaded connection

(see figure).

Before performing the connection, allow the water to run freely until it is perfectly clear.

2. Connect the inlet hose to the washing machine by screwing it onto the corresponding water inlet of the appliance, which is situated on the top righthand side of the rear part of the appliance (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 details table (see next page).

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

Never use second hand hose sets. Do not reuse hose sets from any previously installed washing machine.

Use the ones supplied with the machine.

Connecting the drain hose

65 - 100 cm

Connect the drain hose, without bending it, to a drainage duct or a wall drain located at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor;

alternatively, rest it 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 washer-dryer. If this is not the case, replace the socket or the plug.

The washer-dryer 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.

When the washer-dryer has been installed, the electricity socket must be within easy reach.

Avoid using any extension cord or multiple socket

outlet.	GB

The cable should not be bent or compressed. CAUTION: If this appliance is supplied from an extension cord or portable electrical outlet device, the extension cord set or electrical portable outlet device must be positioned so that it is not subject to splashing or contact with moisture.

The power supply cable must only be replaced 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.

The first wash cycle

Once the appliance has been installed, and before you use it for the first time, run a wash cycle with detergent and no laundry, using the wash cycle 1.

Indicator lights

The indicator lights provide important information. This is what they can tell you:

Wash cycle phase indicator lights

As the WASH CYCLE knob is rotated, the indicator lights illuminate, indicating the stages which will be performed by the machine in accordance with the selected wash cycle.

Once the desired wash cycle has been selected and has begun, the indicator lights switch on one by one to indicate which phase of the cycle is currently in progress.

End of wash cycle

Note: As soon as a drying level or time period has been set, this indicator light illuminates to indicate that the selected wash cycle will be followed by a drying phase.

Note:

during the "Pump out" phase, the indicator light corresponding to the "Spin" cycle phase will illuminate.

Function buttons and corresponding indicator lights

When a function is selected, the corresponding indicator light will illuminate.

If the selected function is not compatible with the programmed wash cycle, the corresponding indicator light will flash, a sound signal will be emitted and the function will not be activated.

If a function which is incompatible with another function selected previously, only the most recent selection will remain active.

Temperature indicator light

When a temperature value is selected, the GB corresponding indicator light will illuminate.

Drying indicator light

When a drying value is selected, the corresponding indicator light will illuminate.

Child lock indicator light

To activate the control panel lock, press and hold the button for approximately 2 seconds. When the indicator light is illuminated, the control panel is locked. This means it is possible to prevent wash cycles from being modified accidentally, especially where there are children in the home.

To deactivate the control panel lock, press and hold the button for approximately 2 seconds.

Door locked indicator light

If this indicator light is on, the appliance door is locked to prevent it from being opened accidentally; to avoid any damage, wait for the indicator light to switch off before you open the appliance door.

N.B. If the DELAY TIMER function is activated, the door cannot be opened; pause the machine by pressing the START/PAUSE button if you wish to open it.

If the START/PAUSE indicator light (orange) flashes rapidly at the same time as the function indicator light, this indicates a problem has occurred (see “Troubleshooting”).
