Installation
GB
! Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future referen-
ce. 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 infor-
mation 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 4 protective
screws and the rubber bush
with the respective spacer,
situated on the rear of the
appliance (see also the instal-
lation leaflet).
NB:The plastic spacers may
fall down inside the machine
once the bolt has been removed, and will not interfere with
the operation of the machine.
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.
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. 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).
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.
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.
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.

! 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.
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 supply voltage is included within the values i
ndicated 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.
GB
The drain hose may be
connected to an undersink 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;
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 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 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 without a
pre-wash cycle.
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 ou-
tdoor 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
authorised serviceman.
Warning! The company denies all liability if and when
these norms are not respected.

Instructions for the fitter
Mounting the wooden panel onto the door and inserting the machine into cabinets:
In the case where the machine must be shipped for final
installation after the wooden panel has been mounted, we
suggest leaving it in its original packaging. The packaging
was designed to make it possible to mount the wooden
panel onto the machine without removing it completely (see
figures below).
The wooden panel that covers the face of the machine must
not be less than 18 mm in thickness and can be hinged on
either the right or left. For the sake of practicality when using
the machine, we recommend that the panel be hinged on
the same side as the door for the machine itself - the left.
