Installation

• All internal packing must be removed before using
the appliance. Serious damage may be caused to
the machine or adjacent furniture if the protective
transit devices are not removed or are not
completely removed. Refer to the relevant
paragraph in the instruction book.

• Any electrical work required to install this appliance
must be carried out by a qualified electrician.

• Any plumbing work required to install this
appliance must be carried out by a qualified
plumber.

• After having installed the machine, check that it is
not standing on its electrical supply cable.

• If the appliance is placed on a carpeted floor,
ensure that air can circulate freely between the feet
and the floor.

Use

• This appliance is designed for domestic use. It
must not be used for purposes other than those for
which it was designed.

• Only wash fabrics which are designed to be
machine washed. Follow the instructions on each
garment label.

• Do not overload the appliance. Follow the
instructions in the instruction book.

• Make sure that all pockets are empty. Objects such
as coins, safety pins, pins and screws can cause
extensive damage.

• Do not machine wash garments saturated with
petroleum, methylated spirits, trichlorethylene, etc.
If such fluids have been used to remove stains
prior to washing, wait until they have completely
evaporated from the fabric before placing garments
in the appliance.

• Place small items such as socks, belts, etc. in a
cloth bag or pillowcase to prevent them getting
trapped between the drum and the tub.

• Use only the recommended quantities of fabric
softener. An excessive amount could damage the
laundry.

Warnings

• Leave the porthole door slightly ajar when the
appliance is not in use. This preserves the door
seal and prevents the formation of musty smells.

• Always check that water has emptied out before
opening the door. If not, drain the water following
the instructions in the instruction book.

• Always unplug the appliance and shut the water
tap after use.

General safety

• Repairs to the machine must be carried out only by
qualified personnel. Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons could cause serious
danger. Contact your local Service Centre.

• Never pull the power supply cable to remove the
plug from the socket; always take hold of the plug
itself.

• During high temperature wash programmes the
door glass may get hot. Do not touch it!

The following warnings are provided in the interests of overall safety. You must read them carefully before
installing or using the appliance.

Disposal

Tips for environmental protection

Packaging materials

The materials marked with the symbol are
recyclable.

>PE<=polyethylene
>PS<=polystyrene
>PP<=polypropylene

This means that they can be recycled by disposing of
them properly in appropriate collection containers.

Machine

Use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance.
Help to keep your country tidy!

To save water, energy and to help protect the
environment, we recommend that you follow these
tips:

• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without
prewashing in order to save detergent, water and
time (the environment is protected too!).

• The machine works more economically if it is fully
loaded.

• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited
soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be
washed at a lower temperature.

• Measure out detergent according to the water
hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of
laundry being washed.

Child safety

• Children are often not aware of how dangerous
electrical appliances can be. When the machine is
working, children should be carefully supervised
and not be allowed to play with the appliance.

• The packaging components (e.g. plastic film,
polystyrene) can be dangerous to children - danger
of suffocation! Keep them out of children’s reach.

• Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children’s
reach.

• Make sure that children or pets do not climb into
the drum.

• When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the
electrical supply cable and destroy the plug with
the remaining cable. Disable the door catch in
order to prevent children from becoming trapped
inside while playing.

Unpacking

All transit bolts and packing must be removed

before using the appliance.

You are advised to keep all transit devices so that
they can be refitted if the machine ever has to be
transported again.

1. Using a spanner, unscrew and remove the rear
right-hand bolt and lay the machine on its back,
taking care not to squash the hoses. This can be
avoided by placing one of the corner packing
pieces between the machine and the floor.

2. Remove the polystyrene block from the bottom of
the machine and release the two plastic bags by
removing the adhesive strip.

3. Carefully remove the right-hand bag (1) then the
left-hand bag (2) by pulling them towards the
centre of the machine.

4. Set the machine upright and remove the two
remaining bolts from the back.

5. Pull out the three plastic spacers from the holes
into which the bolts were fitted.

6. Plug the open holes with the plugs which you will
find in the envelope containing the instruction
booklet.

Positioning

Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
Make sure that air circulation around the machine is
not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that the
machine does not touch the wall or other kitchen
units.
Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in or
out. Never place cardboard, wood or similar
materials under the machine to compensate for any
unevenness in the floor.

Water inlet

Connect the water inlet hose supplied with the
machine to a tap with a 3/4" thread.

Do not use already employed inlet hoses.

The other end of the inlet hose which connects to the
machine can be turned in any direction. Simply
loosen the fitting, rotate the hose and retighten the
fitting, making sure there are no water leaks.

The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too
short and you do not wish to move the tap, you will
have to purchase a new, longer hose specially
designed for this type of use.

Water drainage

The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three
ways:

Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plastic
hose guide supplied with the machine. In this

case, make sure the end cannot come unhooked
when the machine is emptying.
This could be done by tying it to the tap with a piece
of string or attaching it to the wall.

In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must be
above the trap so that the bend is at least 60 cm
above the ground.

Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less
than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm.
The end of the drain hose must always be
ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain pipe
must be larger than the outside diameter of the drain
hose.

The drain hose must not be kinked. Run it along the
floor; only the part near the drainage point must be
raised.

Electrical connection

This machine is designed to operate on a 220-230 V,
single-phase, 50 Hz supply.

Check that your domestic electrical installation can
take the maximum load required (2.2 kW), also
taking into account any other appliances in use.

Connect the machine to an earthed socket.

The manufacturer declines any responsibility
for damage or injury through failure to comply
with the above safety precaution.
Should the appliance power supply cable
need to be replaced, this should be carried
out by our Service Centre.

The power supply cable must be easily
accessible after installing the machine.
