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

IMPORTANT: Follow these instructions to remove the TWO transit fixings.

Situated one either side of the rear panel, BOTH transit bolts MUST be removed before use. ! Failure to do so may cause damage to your machine. It is important the transit bolt and spacer come out intact (see pic).

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.

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.

Drainage connections

The first wash cycle

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

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

●

the socket is earthed and in compliance with the applicable law.

●

the socket is able to sustain the appliances maximum power load indicated in the Technical Details table (on the right).

●

the supply voltage is included within the values indicated in the Technical Details table (on the right).

●

the socket is compatible with the washing machines plug. If this is not the case, replace the socket or the plug.

! The washing machine should not be installed in an outdoor environment, not even when the area is sheltered, because it may be very dangerous to leave it exposed to rain and thunderstorms. ! When the washing machine is installed, the mains socket must be within easy reach and should be connected to a suitable electrical supply.

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

A. Connect the drain

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.
