INFORMATION FOR THE CORRECT DISPOSAL OF WASTE ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC APPLIANCES

When your appliance is of no further use, it should not be disposed of together with general domestic waste.

It can be taken, free of charge, to a

specific waste collection centre, run by your local authority, or dealers who provide this service. Disposing of waste domestic appliances separately means avoiding possible negative consequences for the environment and health, derived from incorrect disposal. This will enable the materials in them to be treated and

recycled, obtaining important savings in energy and resources. To highlight the obligation of collaborating with selective waste collection, the product is marked with a symbol to warn against using traditional containers for disposing of the appliance.

For further information, contact your local authority or the shop where you purchased the product.

2 Warnings

To avoid the risk of fire, electric shocks, injury or damage when using your washing machine, please take the following precautions:

• This washing machine comes with

a manual that includes operating, maintenance and installation instructions. Please read all the instructions before using the washing machine.

• Do not wash items that have

previously been cleaned, washed, soaked or treated with petrol, solvents for dry cleaning, other inflammable substances or explosives, as they produce fumes that could catch fire or explode.

• Do not add petrol, solvents for dry

cleaning or other inflammable or explosive substances to the wash water as they produce fumes that could catch fire or explode.

• Do not repair or replace any part of

the washing machine or try to carry out any type of servicing unless it is recommended in the maintenance instructions in the manual.

• Do not climb onto the machine or

stand on the open hatch door.

• Do not use an extension lead or

adaptor to connect your washing machine to the mains supply.

• The machine should only be used

for the purpose it is designed for.

• Follow the washing instructions

recommended by the manufacturer of the garment to be washed.

• Do not turn your washing machine on until you are sure that:

- It has been installed in accordance

with the installation instructions.

- All the water, drainage, mains

electricity and earth connections meet the local regulations and/or other applicable regulations.

Intended use

• This appliance is not intended for

use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to

ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

3 Installation and assembly

Unpacking the washing machine

• Remove the base, corner protectors

and top cover.

Unblocking the washing machine

• Remove the screws holding the

plastic covers to the back of the washing machine.

• Cover the holes with the plastic covers you have just removed.

Do not throw the blocking screws

away. You may need to move the washing machine at a later date.

Connection to the mains water supply

The water supply hose is inside the drum:

• Loosen and remove the 3 blocking

screws.

• Connect the bent end of the hose to

the threaded inlet of the electrovalve located at the rear of the washing machine.

• Connect the other end of the hose

to the water intake. Then securely tighten the connection nut.

• Make sure that the gasket is in

place.

It is important that the drain hose

bend is correctly fastened to the outlet, to prevent any risk of it becoming detached and causing flooding.

If your washing machine has a hot

water intake, connect the hose with the red threaded end to the hot water tap, and to the electrovalve with the red filter. The washing machine must be

connected to the mains water supply, using the new supply hoses supplied with the appliance. Do not use water supply hoses that have been used before. For your washing machine to work properly, the mains water pressure must be between

0.05 and 1MPa (0.05 and 10 Kgr/

cm2).

Drainage connection

To make the washing machine ready for use, make sure that tap water supply and water drainage systems are appropriate before calling the authorised

service agent. If they are not, call a

qualified plumber to have any necessary arrangements carried out.

• It is recommended that you have a

fixed drainage outlet 50 to 70 cm from the floor.

Avoid the drain hose being too tight,

kinked or restricted.

• The end of the drain hose

must be directly connected to the wastewater drain or to the washbasin.

• The end of the drain hose must

always be secured regardless of the connection type.

Your floor will be flooded if the hose

comes out of its housing during water discharge.

• In case the hose is routed at floor

level or close to the floor (less than 50 cm) and then rises higher, water discharge becomes more difficult and laundry will come out wetter than normal. Therefore, follow the heights described in the figure.

• To prevent flow of dirty water back

to the washing machine and to allow for easy discharge, the end of the hose must not be inserted in to the

drain more than 15 cm. If it is too

long, cut it shorter.

• The end of the hose should not be

bent, it should not be stepped on and the hose must not be pinched between the drain and the machine.

• If the length of the hose is too short,

add an original extension hose. The maximum length of the hose must not be longer than 3.2 m from the machine outlet. To avoid water leak failures, the connection between the extension hose and the drain hose of the product must be well fitted with an appropriate clamp so that it will not come off and leak.

Levelling

Use the adjustable feet to level the

washing machine. This will reduce the noise level and prevent it from moving during use. Do not bring the feet too far out, you

will achieve better stability. You need to use a spanner for the

models that have a nut.

Electrical connection

Consult the specification plate located on the hatch door of the washing machine before making the electrical connections. Ensure that the voltage reaching the plug is the same as that on the plate.

Do not remove the specification plate. The information on it is important.

It is very important to correctly earth

the washing machine. The electrical installation, plug, socket, fuses or automatic switch and counter must be correctly specified for the maximum power indicated on the specifications plate. Do not plug the washing machine

plug into the socket with wet or damp hands. To remove the power cord, pull on

the body of the plug.
