Installation
Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for GB 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
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 3 protective screws and the rubber washer with the respective spacer, situated on the rear of the appliance (see figure).
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.
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.
Electric and water connections
Connecting the water inlet hose
1. Connect the supply pipe to the water mains
using a gas 3/4
attachment, fitting the
rubber gasket and the
filter supplied with the
appliance and ensuring
that they are fimly
tightened to the taps. The water supply marked
C must be connected to the cold water tap; the pipe marked H must be connected to the hot water tap. Both pipes may be connected to the cold water tap using the special Y connection with multiple attachments, supplied with the appliance (see figure). Before making 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 right-hand 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.

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;
alternatively, place it over the edge of a basin, sink or tub, fastening the duct supplied to the tap (see figure). The free end of the hose should not be underwater.
GB
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.
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.
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 (on the right);
•the supply voltage is included within the values i ndicated on the Technical details table
(on the right);
•the socket is compatible with the washing machine's plug. If this is not the case, replace the socket or the plug.
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.

Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of detergent: adding too much detergent won't necessarily make for a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause build up on the interior of your appliance and even pollute the environment.

Open up the detergent dispenser and pour in the detergent and fabric softener, as follows.
compartment 1: Detergent for pre-wash (powder)
Pre-wash detergent should only be used with the sportswear programme 
, while setting the timer knob to the "auto" position or to one of the "3h" to "24h" positions (see “Detergents and laundry”).
compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle (powder or liquid)
Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately prior to the wash cycle start.
compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
The fabric softener should not overflow from the grid.
Do not use hand wash detergent because it may form too much foam.
