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

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 four

protective screws and

the rubber washer

with the respective

spacer, situated on

the rear of the ap-

pliance (see figure).

4. Seal the gaps using

the plastic plugs pro-

vided.

5.Keepalltheparts:you

will need them again if

the washing machine

needs to be moved to

another location.

Warning: should the screws be re-used, make sure you fasten the shorter ones at the top.

!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, fur-

niture 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);

the angle of inclination must not exceed 2°, when measured over the worktop.

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 ¾ gas threaded connection (see figure).

Before performing the connection, allow the water to run freely until it is perfectly clear.

2.Connecttheotherend 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 rearoftheappliance(see figure).

3. Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the hose.

!Thewaterpressureatthetapmustbewithinthe values indicated in the Technical details table

(see page 5).

!If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised serviceman.

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 is not 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);

• the supply voltage is included within the values

 

GB

in dicated 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 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:

tifyng 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 co-

 

loured 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 about the electrical supply

 

to your machine, consult a qualified electrician

 

before use.

!The washing machine should not be installed in an outdoor 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 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
