		accompanies the washing machine to inform the

Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking

! This is a separate part of the polystyrene base and should be remo-

ved with the base.

! IMPORTANT check whenunpackingyour machine.

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. 3. Remove the 4 pro-

tective screws and the rubber bush with the respective spacer, situated on the rear of the appliance (see also the installation leaflet).

4.Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided.

5.Keep all the parts: you will need them again if the washing machine needs to be moved to another location.

! Packaging materials are not children’s toys.

Levelling

Your machine may make a considerable amount of noise if the two front feet have not been adjusted correctly.

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 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.

Electric and water connections

Connecting the water inlet hose

1. Connect the supply pipe by screwing it to a cold water tap using

a

3/4 gas threaded connection (see figure). Before performing the connection, allow the water to run freely until it is perfectly clear.

2. Connect the other end of the water inlet hose to the washing machine,

screwing it onto the appliance’s cold water inlet, situated on the top right-hand side on the rear of the appliance (see figure).

3. 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

(on the page 5).

	1. Install the washing	! If the water inlet hose is not long enough,
		contact a specialist store or an authorised
	machine on a flat sturdy

Connecting the drain hose

65 - 100 cm

Connect the drain hose, without bending it, to a draining duct or a wall drain situated between 65 and 100 cm from the floor;

Where it connects to the waste water pipe cut end off spigot or remove the blanking cap

The drain hose may be connected to an under-sink trap. Before connecting the drain hose from the machine ensure that any blanks or removable ends have been taken off the spigot.

If it is placed over the edge of a basin or sink be sure the free end of the hose should not be underwater.

! 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 150 cm in length.

Ensure that if the drain hose is pushed into a standpipe, that the end does not go down more than 15cms (6 inches). If the hose is pushed down too far, this may cause the machine to self -syphon ie. continuously empty as it is filling.

Electric connection

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 appliance’s maximum power load indicated in the Technical details table;

• the supply voltage is included within the values indicated on the Technical Data Plate fixed on GB the machine.

• the socket is compatible with the washing machine’s plug. If this is not the case, replace the socket or the plug.

Your appliance is now supplied with a 13 amp fusedplugitcanbepluggedintoa13ampsocketfor immediate use. Before using the appliance please read the instructions below.

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

Replacing the fuse:

When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA approved fuse to BS 1362 should always be used, and the fuse cover re-fitted. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement is obtained.

Replacement fuse covers:

If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of the correct colour as indicated by the coloured marking or the colour that is embossed in words on the base of the plug. Replacements can be obtaineddirectlyfromyournearestServiceDepot.

Removing the plug:

If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug and you should wish to re-route the mains cable through partitions, units etc., please ensure that either:

the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere rewireable plug bearing the BSI mark of approval. or:

the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp cable outlet, controlled by a switch, (in compliance with BS 5733) which is accessible without moving the appliance.

Disposing of the plug:

Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself, you make the pins unusable so that it cannot be accidentally inserted into a socket.

Instructions for connecting cable to an alternative plug:

Important: the wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green & Yellow Earth

Blue Neutral Brown Live

		As the colours of the wires in the lead may not
	GB
		correspond with the coloured markings iden-
		tifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as
		follows:
		Connect Green & Yellow wire to terminal
		marked E or		or coloured Green or Green &
		Yellow.
		Connect Brown wire to terminal marked L or
		coloured Red.
		Connect Blue wire to terminal marked N or
		coloured Black.
		If a 13 amp plug (BS 1363) is used it must be
		fitted with a
		13 amp fuse, either in the plug or adaptor or
		at the distribution board.
		If you are in any doubt regarding the electrical
		supply to your machine, consult a qualified
		electrician before use.
		How to connect an alternative plug:
		The wires in this mains lead are coloured in
		accordance with the following code:
		BLUE				NEUTRAL (N)
		BROWN				LIVE (L)
		GREEN & YELLOW				EARTH (E)
			GREEN &
			YELLOW
			BROWN	13 ampere fuse
			BLUE	CROSS-BAR
				CORD GRIP

Disposing of the appliance:

When disposing of the appliance please remove the plug by cutting the mains cable as close as possible to the plug body and dispose of it as described above.

!The washing machine should not be installed in an outdoor environment, not even where the area is sheltered, because it may be very dangerous to leave it exposed to damp, rain and thunderstorms.

!When the washing machine is installed, the mains socket must be within easy reach.

!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.

Warning! The company denies all liability if and when these norms 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 (60°C).

		Instructions for the fitter

		Mounting the wooden panel onto the door
		and inserting the machine into cabinets:
		In the case where the machine must be shipped
		for final installation after the wooden panel has
		been mounted, we suggest leaving it in its ori-
		ginal packaging. The packaging was designed
		to make it possible to mount the wooden panel
		onto the machine without removing it completely
		(see figures below).
		The wooden panel that covers the face of
		the machine must not be less than 18 mm in
		thickness and can be hinged on either the right
		or left. For the sake of practicality when using
		the machine, we recommend that the panel be
		hinged on the same side as the door for the
		machine itself - the left.
