Installation

! 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).

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, cabinets or anything else.

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).

! 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.

! Never use second-hand or old inlet hoses; use the products supplied with 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.

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 on the Technical Data Plate fixed on the machine;

• 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.

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

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 wash cycle number auto clean (see “Care and

maintenance”).

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 on the previous page.

! 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.

Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water and electricity supplies

• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle.

This will limit wear on the hydraulic system inside the washing machine and help to prevent leaks.

• Unplug the washing machine when cleaning

it and during all maintenance work.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer

Remove the dispenser by raising it and pulling it out (see figure). Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently.

Cleaning the pump

The washing machine is fitted with a auto-clean pump which does not require any maintenance. Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into the pre-chamber which protects the pump, situated in its bottom part.

! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug the appliance.

To access the pre-chamber:

1. using a screwdriver, remove the cover panel on the lower front part of the washing machine (see

figure);

Cleaning the washing machine

• The outer parts and rubber components

of the appliance can be cleaned using a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.

• The washing machine has a Auto-Clean

programme for its internal parts that must be run with no load in the drum.

To help the wash cycle you may want to use either the detergent (i.e. a quantity 10% the quantity specified for lightly-soiled garments) or special additives to clean the washing machine. We recommend running a cleaning programme every 40 wash cycles. It can be activated in the following two ways:

- press the button on the control panel then press the SELECTOR twice.

- turn the SELECTOR until it is on the icon of the SERVICES menu, press it to enter the sub-menu, then turn it until it is on the icon and press it two times.

Descaling Cycle

A message on the display will remind the user to periodically run the descaling treatment, using a special detergent. In order to identify the most suitable descaling product for your washing machine (WPRO), access wpro.eu. The descaling cycle allows for keeping the machine’s components (drum, pipes) clean. Whenever necessary, the display will visualise the following notice: “Descaling cycle recom- mended. Remind me later?” / . If the question is answered affirmatively, the message will appear at the end of the cycle or when the machine is switched on the next time. In case of a negative answer, the message will not reappear for the successive 100 cycles (the counter is reset). For information on how to run the cycle, follow the instructions appearing on the package of the descaling product.

2. unscrew the lid by rotating it anticlockwise (see figu- re): a little water may trickle out. This is perfectly normal;

3. clean the inside thoroughly;

4. screw the lid back on;

5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely in place before you push it onto the appliance.

Caring for the door and drum of your appliance

• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order

to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.

Checking the water inlet hose

Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If there are any cracks, it should be replaced immediately: during the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose could easily split open.

! Never use second-hand hoses.
