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 a part of the poly-
stirene base and should
have stayed intact when
you removed 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).
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 tab 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 righthand side on the rear of the
appliance (see figure).
4. Do not remove external bar.
5. Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided.
6. 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.

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 next page).
! If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact a
specialist store or an authorised serviceman.
! Ensure that the supply taps are allowing water throu-
gh. Old taps may seize in the closed position and thus
prevent water reaching the machine.
65 - 100 cm
Where it connects to
the waste water pipe
cut end off spigot or
remove the blanking cap
Connecting the drain hose
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 place 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 supply voltage is included within the values indicated
on the Technical details table (see page 5);
• 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 re-wearable
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

• the socket is able to sustain the appliance’s maximum
power load indicated in the Technical details table
(see page 5);

As the colours of the wires in the lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifyng 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 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)
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.
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 1.
! The washing machine should not be installed in an out-
door environment, not even when the area is sheltered,
because it may be very dangerous to leave it exposed to
rain and thunderstorms.
! When the washing machine is installed, the mains so-
cket must be within easy reach.
! Do not use extensions or multiple sockets.
! The power supply cable must never be bent or dange-
rously compressed.
! The power supply cable must only be replaced by an au-
thorised serviceman.
