Installation
GB
! 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 and levelling
Unpacking
! This is a separate
part of the polystyrene base and should
be removed with the
base.
! IMPORTANT check
when unpacking
your 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 protective screws and
the rubber bush with
the respective spacer,
situated on the rear of
the appliance (see also
the installation leaflet).
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 figu-
re).
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 righthand side on the rear
of the appliance (see
figure).
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.
1. Install the washing
machine on a flat sturdy
floor, without resting it
up against walls, furniture cabinets or other.
2. If the floor is not perfectly level, compensate for any unevenness
by tightening or loosening the adjustable
front feet (see figure);
2
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).
! If the water inlet hose is not long enough,
contact a specialist store or an authorised
serviceman.
! Ensure that the supply taps are allowing wa-
ter through. Old taps may seize in the closed
position and thus prevent water reaching the
machine.
Connecting the drain hose
65 - 100 cm
Where it connects to
the waste water pipe
cut end off spigot or
remove the blanking cap
Connect the drain
hose, without bending it, to a draining
duct or a wall drain
situated between 65
and 100 cm from the
floor;
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.
• the supply voltage is included within the
values indicated on the Technical Data Plate
fixed on 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
fused plug it can be plugged into a 13 amp
socket for 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.
GB
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 (see page 5);
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 obtained directly from your nearest
Service Depot.
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

GB
GREEN &
YELLOW
BROWN
BLUE
13 ampere fuse
CROSS-BAR
CORD GRIP
As the colours of the wires in the lead may not
correspond with the coloured markings identifying 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)
! 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

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 original 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 13 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.

Mounting the Parts onto the Face of the
Machine.
- Fit the hinge supports to the appliance front
panel, positioning the hole marked with an
arrow in fig. 1 so that it is on the inner side of
the front panel. Fit a spacer (fig. 4/B) between the surfaces using type C screws.
- Fit the magnet plate at the top of the opposite side, using type B screws to fix two
spacers (fig. 4/B) between the plate and the
surface.
