Thank you for having chosen our product.
This appliance is safe and easy to use. It has been constructed according to international
safety standards designed to protect the user. In order to familiarise yourself with the
machine and ensure its long working life, we strongly recommend that you read this
instruction manual carefully.
SAFETY
✔ The machine must not be installed
outdoors, even if protected by a roof, in
that atmospheric agents may cause
irreparable damages.
✔ This appliance has been designed for use
as a domestic washing machine. Any other
use is considered as improper and therefore
dangerous.
✔ The appliance must only be used by
adults.
✔ The appliance is very heavy and requires
utmost care when being moved.
✔ If the machine is to stand on a carpeted
floor, ensure that there is sufficient space for
air to circulate between the floor and the
bottom of the machine.
✔ The appliance must not be used or
touched barefoot or with wet or damp
hands or feet.
✔ Do not pull the power cable or appliance
to remove the plug from its socket.
✔ Do not use detergents designed for hand
washing, in that the excessive suds
produced could damage the internal
components.
✔ When the appliance is in operation, avoid
any contact with the water being
discharged through the drain hose, as it
may be very hot.
✔ Do not touch the door glass, as this will
tend to heat up during a wash.
✔ At the end of the wash, wait
approximately three minutes before
opening the door, as it is fitted with a safety
device that prevents it from being opened
accidentally.
✔ It is advisable to leave the door open
after completion of the wash cycle.
✔ When positioning the appliance, ensure
that the power supply cable is not kinked
or squashed and is accessible.
✔ If it becomes necessary to replace the
power supply cable, refer exclusively to an
authorised service centre.
✔ Do not use extension leads, especially in
a damp atmosphere.
GB
✔ In the case of faulty operation, switch off
the machine by removing the plug from its
socket using dry hands. Never try to access
internal components or attempt to repair
the machine, instead refer exclusively to an
authorised assistance centre.

SETTING-UP THE MACHINE
▼ Place the machine near to the connection points and ensure that it is
level. To do this, adjust the feet by screwing or unscrewing them as required.
When the machine is level, tighten the lock nuts on the feet using a spanner.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
▼ Check that the power supply and socket are
correctly sized for the maximum load demand of
your machine. The power supply voltage is indicated
on the rating plate affixed to the filter door on the
bottom right of the washing machine.
The mains electricity supply must be equipped with
an earth. If this requirement is not complied with, the
manufacturer will not be held liable for any resulting
damage or injury.
WATER CONNECTION
▼ Allow a good quantity of water to flow out of
the system until it is clear and free of impurities,
especially if the plant is new or has not been used
for some time. Connect the water inlet pipe to
the valve, inserting the filter/washer supplied.
Check that the other end of the pipe is tightened
properly. Position the drain hose between a
minimum of 60 cm and a maximum 90 cm from
floor level.
N.B. To prevent siphoning, do not make the
machine drain hose connection air tight.
If the water system is not provided with a drain,
use the bracket supplied to position the drain pipe
over a washbasin then tie it to a tap.
Do not use old or used fill hoses. Use only those
supplied with the machine.
