Installation
GB
! This instruction manual should be kept in a safe 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 infor-
mation 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 3 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.
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.
! 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°.
2
! 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
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;
Th e drain ho se ma y 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.
• 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 refitted. 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.
GB
! 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 indica-
ted on the Technical Data Plate fixed on the machine.
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

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 about 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 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, setting the 90°C programme.
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 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 au-
thorised serviceman.
Warning! The company denies all liability if and when these
norms are not respected.
