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 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 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.
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°.

! 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;
• the supply voltage is included within the values indicated on the Technical Data Plate fixed on 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.
GB
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.
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 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.
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;
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

GB
GREEN & YELLOW
BROWN
BLUE
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 regarding 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 power supply cable must only be repla- ced by an authorised serviceman.
Warning! The company denies all liability if and when these norms are not respected.
