Installation

GB

! This instruction manual should be kept in a safe
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.

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 tap 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.

! 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°.

2

! 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 hoses.

! Use the ones supplied with the machine.

65 - 100 cm

Connecting the drain hose

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, place
the drain hose over
the edge of a wa­shbasin or bathtub,
by fastening the
guide (which

can be purchased at
the technical assi­stance centre) 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.

! When the washing machine has been installed,
the electricity socket must be within easy reach.

! Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.

! The cable should not be bent or compressed.

! The power supply cable must only be replaced

by authorised technicians.

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 2.

Care and maintenance

GB

Cutting off the water and electri­city supplies

• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle.

This will limit wear on the hydraulic system
inside the washing machine and help to pre­vent leaks.

• Unplug the washing machine when cleaning

it and during all maintenance work.

Cleaning the washer-dryer

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.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser
drawer

Remove the dispenser
by raising it and pul­ling it out (see figure).
Wash it under running
water; this operation
should be repeated
frequently.

To access the pre-chamber:

1. using a screwdri­ver, remove the cover
panel on the lower
front part of the wa­shing machine (see
figure);

2. unscrew the lid
by rotating it anti­clockwise (see figu-
re): a little water may
trickle out. This is
perfectly normal;

3. clean the inside thoroughly;

4. screw the lid back on;

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

Caring for the door and drum of
your appliance

• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order

to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.

Cleaning the pump

The washing machine is fitted with a self-clea­ning pump which does not require any mainte­nance. Sometimes, small items (such as coins
or buttons) may fall into the pre-chamber which
protects the pump, situated in its bottom part.

! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and
unplug 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.

! Never use second-hand hoses.
