1. THE NEW WASHING SYSTEM
This new washer dryer is the outcome of years of research.
The leading-edge design and the quality of the production processes used to manufacture this product ensure it will give you many years of excellent service.
Its concept satisfies all current and future washing and drying requirements.
Its low water, power and detergent consumption help protect the environment and reduce running costs to a minimum.
Water and power consumption has been reduced in all programmes.
These results were achieved by means of a special washing system valid for all programmes and all fabrics.
The drum is fitted with three external vanes that keep the water constantly circulating, thereby offering intensive and uniform washing whilst consuming less water.
This ensures your laundry is washed and treated with utmost care.
The new washing system is so effective that normally dirty laundry can even be cleaned without a pre-wash cycle.
Washing times have also been reduced.

3.3 WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
1.Check that inlet pressure lies between the following values: 50-900kPa. For higher pressures, install a pressure reducer.
2.Connect the cold water inlet hose (light blue ring nut) to the cold water tap with a ¾ gas thread, taking care to screw it firmly into place in order to prevent leaks. The water inlet hose must not be bent or crushed and must not be replaced or cut.
3.If a hot water inlet is used, inlet water temperature must not exceed 60°C and the hose with the red ring nut must be connected to the hot water tap.
Attention!
•If the water pipe is new or has not been used for a long time, let a certain amount of water run before attaching the inlet hose. This stops any deposits of sand and other impurities from clogging the filters used by the machine to protect the water inlet valves.
•The new hose-set supplied with the appliance are to be used and the old hose-set should not be reused
3.4 DRAIN CONNECTION
1.Insert the end of the drain hose into a drain pipe having an internal diameter of at least 4 cm and a height ranging between 50 and 90 cm, or attach it (using the relative curved plastic profile) to a basin or bath tub.
2.Always check that the end of the drain hose is securely attached in order to prevent the repulsive force of the water from moving it out of position.
Attention!
•Do not bend or obstruct the hose as this will reduce the flow of water.
•Any extensions to the drain hose must not exceed 1 metre, they must have the same internal diameter and must not be obstructed in any way.
•In no case may the end of the drain hose be submerged in water.
3.5 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
