Installation
! This instruction manual should be kept in a safe GB place for future reference. If the washing machine is sold, transferred or moved, make sure that the
instruction manual remains with the machine so that the new owner is able to familiarise himself/ herself with its operation and features.
! Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital information relating to the safe installation and operation of the appliance.
Unpacking and levelling
Unpacking
1.Remove the washing machine from its packaging.
2.Make sure that the washing machine has not been damaged during the transportation process. If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any further with the installation process.
3. Remove the 4 protective screws (used during transportation) and the rubber washer with the corresponding spacer, located on the rear part of the appliance (see figure).
4.Close off the holes using the plastic plugs provided.
5.Keep all the parts in a safe place: you will need them again if the washing machine needs to be moved to another location.
! Packaging materials should not be used as toys for children.
Levelling
1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor, without resting it up against walls, furniture 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 in relation to the worktop, must not exceed 2°.
Levelling the machine correctly will provide it with stability, help to avoid vibrations and excessive noise and prevent it from shifting
while it is operating. If it is placed on carpet or a rug, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow a sufficient ventilation space underneath the washing machine.
Connecting the electricity and water supplies
Connecting the water inlet hose
1. Connect the supply pipe by screwing it to a cold water tap using a ¾ gas threaded connection (see figure).
Before performing the connection, allow the water to run freely until it is perfectly clear.
2. Connect the inlet hose to the washing machine by screwing it onto the corresponding water inlet of the appliance, which is situated on the top right-hand side of the rear part of the appliance (see figure).
3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over or bent.
!The water pressure at the tap must fall within the values indicated in the Technical details table (see page 5).
!If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialised shop or an authorised technician.
!Never use second-hand hoses.
!Use the ones supplied with the machine.

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 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 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 fused plug it can be plugged into a 13 amp socket for immediate use. Before using the appliance please read the instructions below.
WARNING-THISAPPLIANCEMUSTBEEARTHED. 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
3
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.

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 “Auto Clean” (see “Cleaning the washing machine”).
