Removing the transport clamps from your machine
see diagrams D1-D2-D3
1 - Remove the washing machine from its plinth (check that the
wedge
훽
supporting the motor is not still inserted in the
machine) (
Diagram
D1.➀
)
2 - Remove the 4 screws훾with a screwdriver
(Diagram
D1.➁
)
3 - Remove the cross clamp훿by removing the 2 screws
(Diagram
D1.➂
)
using a 10 or 13mm spanner (depending on the
model). (Ensure that you remove the two plastic braces fixed on
the cross clamp at the same time as the clamp itself).
Replace the screws
훾
in their initial positions.

You must block off the two holes using the hole covers
provided
(supplied in the accessories bag)
(Diagram
D1.➃
)
5 - Remove the drum-tank assembly locking wedge
(DiagramD2)
.
To do this:
- Lift the lid on the machine
- Remove wedge
- Remove wedgeby turning it a quarter turn
- Release the drum doors, locked in the lower position, by
pressing down on both eaves simultaneously.

Connecting the cold water supply
Connect the supply hose
(DiagramD5)
:
- At one end to the connection on the back of the machine
- On the other end to a tap fitted with a threaded end 20mm dia. x
27 (3/4 BSP).
If you use a self-piercing tap, the useful aperture must have a
minimum diameter of 6mm.
Water supply:
- Minimum water pressure: 0.07 MPa or 0.7 bar
- Maximum water pressure: 1 MPa or 10 bars
Draining away the waste water
Fit the hose bracket provided inside your machine to the end of the
drain hose and then connect the hose
(DiagramD6)
:
• Either, temporarily, over a sink or a bathtub.
• Or permanently to a ventilated U-bend.
If your installation does not have a ventilated U-bend, check that the
connection is not sealed. In fact, to avoid any waste water flowing
back into the machine, you are strongly recommended to leave an
air gap between the machine’s drain hose and the drainpipe.
In any case, the drain hose bracket must be placed at a height of 65
to 90cm higher than the base of the machine.
Ensure that the drain hose is tied firmly in place with cord to
avoid the bracket coming loose during draining and causing a
flood.
The waste water can be drained away to the ground provided that
the drain hose passes through a point 65 to 90cm higher than the
base of the machine.
For your safety, you must comply with the instructions belo
Electrical supply
(DiagramD7)
• Before connecting your machine, you must ensure that your
installation’s electrical characteristics match those of your
machine (see the details provided on the information plate affixed
to the back of the machine).
• The electrical installation must comply with the prevailing
standards and the Electricity Board’s regulations in the country
concerned, particularly as regards Earthing and installation in
shower rooms.
We cannot be held responsible for any incident caused by the
machine being incorrectly earthed.
Advice on the electrical installation of your machine
• Do not use an extension lead, adapter or multiple socket.
• Never cut out the Earth wire.
• The socket must be readily accessible but out of the reach of
children.
If in any doubt, please contact your installer.

BEFORE USING THE MACHINE IN ANY WAY, YOU MUST FIRST PERFORM THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS.
These comprise removing all the components designed to immobilise the drum in your machine during transport.
These so-called “releasing” operations are necessary for your machine to operate correctly and to conform to the prevailing safety
standards.
If they are not carried out completely, this could cause severe damage to your machine while it is operating.
We would recommend that you keep all the locking components since
these must be refitted if you must subsequently transport your machine
again.
All these components, just like all the components in your machine, are
made of recyclable materials and it is useful to bear this in mind when you
eventually come to dispose of your machine at the end of its useful life.
Your machine has been scrupulously checked before it left the factory.
You may therefore notice a little water still remaining in the tank or the
products box.
Mounting it on castors:
If your machine is equipped with removable castors, you will be able
to move it quite easily.
To mount it on castors, swivel the lever on the bottom of the
machine from the right to the far left
(DiagramD4)
.
The machine must not rest on the “front” castors while it is
operating: remember to return the lever to its initial position.
Levelling the machine:
Use a spirit level to check that the floor is horizontal: maximum
slope 2°, i.e. a discrepancy of approximately 1cm over the width
and of 1.5cm over the depth of the machine.
Your machine’s surroundings:
If you are installing your machine next to another machine or a
unit, we recommend that you leave a gap between them to allow
for air circulation.
We also strongly recommend that you do NOT:
- Install your machine in a damp, poorly ventilated room.
- Install your machine in an area where it could be subject to water
splashes.
- Install your machine on a carpeted floor.
If you cannot avoid doing this, please take every precaution to avoid
blocking air circulation at the bottom of the machine in order to
ensure that the internal components are well ventilated.
Your machine conforms to European Directives EEC/73/23 (Low
Voltage Directive) and EEC/89/336 (Electromagnetic Compatibility)
as modified by Directive EEC/93/68.
On any new installation (following a move or resale, etc.),
the machine must be connected using new hoses. The old
hoses must not be reused.
