Consumption values were measured in normalized conditions in compliance with standard IEC/EN 60 456. Consumption data in the home may vary with
respect to the values in the table in relation to the water supply pressure and temperature, the load and the type of wash.Water and energy consumption refer
to the default setting of the programmes; selecting special options or modifying spin speed or temperature will change the consumption data.
The programme duration may differ from the values indicated above as it depends on the operation conditions applicable at that time (see also
“Troubleshooting Guide” in your Instructions for Use).
* To reduce the water temperature, some cold water is added at the end of the main wash cycle, before the pump drains the water out.
** Reference Programmes for Energy Label.
*** Automatic adaption of programme duration after detection of wash load.

PREPARATION OF THE WASH CYCLE

3. Close the lid.

4. Turn the programme selector to the desired
programme and temperature. The time display
shows the duration of the chosen programme (in
hours and minutes), and the lamp next to the
“Start(Pause)” button blinks. The indication lamp
of the predefined spin speed lights up.

SELECT THE DESIRED OPTION(S)

Selecting or deselecting an option can be done at
any time during the programme. The option will be
applied as long as the corresponding programme
phase has not been executed yet.

Instructions for Use and Programme Chart.

BEFORE USING THE WASHING MACHINE

1. Remove the packaging and check

a. Cut and remove the shrink-wrap.
b. Remove the top protection and the protective

corners.

c. Remove the bottom protection by tilting
and turning the washing machine on one
rear bottom corner. Make sure that the
black plastic part of the bottom protection
(if available on the model) remains in the
packing and not in the machine bottom.

This is important, as otherwise the plastic part could
damage the washing machine during operation.
d. Open the lid by pressing it slightly down while
raising the handle. Remove the polystyrene
cushion (depending on model).
e. Remove the blue protective film from the panel
(depending on model).

• After unpacking, make sure that the washing machine
is undamaged. If in doubt, do not use the washing
machine. Contact After-Sales Service or your local
retailer.

• Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags,
polystyrene parts, etc.) out of reach of children;
they are potentially dangerous.

• If the appliance was exposed to the cold prior to
delivery, keep it at room temperature for a few
hours before operating.

2. Remove the transport bracket

• The washing machine is fitted with transport
screws and a transport bracket to prevent
damage during transport. Before using the

washing machine you must remove the
transport bracket (see “Installation”/“Removal

of transport bracket”).

3. Install the washing machine

• Place the washing machine on a flat and stable
floor surface.

• Adjust the feet to ensure that the machine is

stable and level (see “Installation”/“Adjust the
feet”).

• In case of wooden or so-called “floating floors”
(for instance certain parquet or laminate floors),
place the appliance on a 40 x 60 cm sheet of
plywood at least 3 cm in thickness which is
secured to the floor.

• Make sure that the ventilation openings in the
base of your washing machine (if available on
your model) are not obstructed by a carpet or
other material.

4. Water supply

• Connect the water supply inlet hose in
accordance with the regulations of your local
water company (see “Installation”/“Connect the
water inlet hose”).

• Water supply: Cold water only

• Tap: 3/4” threaded hose connection

• Pressure: 100-1000 kPa (1-10 bar).

• Only use new hoses for connecting the washing
machine to the water supply. Used hoses must
not be used anymore and should be discarded.

5. Drain hose

• Connect the drain hose to the siphon or hook it
over the edge of a sink with the “U” bend (see
“Installation”/“Connect the water drain hose”).

• If the washing machine is connected to a built-in
drainage system, ensure the latter is equipped
with a vent to avoid simultaneous loading and
draining of water (siphoning effect).

6. Electrical connection

• Electrical connections must be carried out by a
qualified technician in compliance with the
manufacturer’s instructions and the current
standard safety regulations.

• The technical data (voltage, power and fuses) are
given on the rating plate on the rear of the washing
machine.

• The washing machine must be connected exclusively
by means of a socket with an earth connection in
accordance with current regulations. The washing
machine must be earthed by law. The manufacturer
declines all liability for injury to persons or animals or
damage to property deriving directly or indirectly
from failure to observe the directions.

• Do not use extension leads or multi sockets.

• Before any maintenance on the washing machine
disconnect it from the mains supply.

• Access to the mains plug or to disconnection from
the mains supply via a double-pole switch must be
ensured at all times following the installation.

• Do not operate the washing machine if it has been
damaged during transport. Inform the After-Sales
Service.

• Mains cable replacement is only to be carried out
by After-Sales Service.

• The washing machine must be connected to an
effective earthing installation, in compliance with the
regulations in force. In particular, washing machines
installed in premises containing a shower or a bath
must be protected by a differential residual current
device of at least 30 mA. Earthing the washing
machine is obligatory under the law. The
manufacturer declines all liability for injury to persons
or animals or damage to property deriving either
directly or indirectly from failure to observe the
directions in these Instructions for Use.

Connect the water inlet hose

1. Carefully screw the water inlet hose to the valve on the rear side of

the washing machine (“A”); screw the other end of the hose to the
tap by hand.

2. Make sure there are no kinks in the hose.

3. Check water-tightness of tap and washing machine connections by

turning the tap completely on.

If the hose is too short, replace it with a suitable hose available through
our After-Sales Service or your specialist retailer.
Periodically check the hose for brittleness and cracks. Replace it if
necessary by a new hose available through our After-Sales Service or
your specialist retailer.
The washing machine can be connected without a non-return valve.

Water stop anti-flooding system

(see inlet hose type as shown on the right - depending on model)

• Screw the hose to the water supply tap. Turn the tap fully on and
check the water-tightness of the connection.

• The washing machine must not be connected to the mixing tap of a
non-pressurized water heater!

• The inlet hose and the plastic enclosure contain (depending on
model) electrical components: do not cut the hose and do not
immerse the enclosure in water.

• If the flexible hose is damaged, unplug the washing machine from
the mains immediately, turn off the tap and replace the hose.

If the flexible hose is too short, replace it with a 3 m Water Stop hose
(available from After-Sales Service or from your dealer).

Connect the water drain hose

1. Unhook the drain hose from the left clip, see arrow “A” on picture.

Important:
Do NOT loosen the drain hose from the right connection, see
arrow “B” on picture. Otherwise, there is the risk of leakage and of

scalding with hot water.

2. Fix the “U” bend (“C”) at the very end of the drain hose.

3. Connect the drain hose to the siphon or hook it over the edge of a

sink with the “U” bend and fix it properly.
Small hand basins are not suitable.
The edge of the sink must be no more than 100 cm from the floor.

If you need to add an extension, use a flexible hose of the same size
and secure the unions with screw-on hose clips.
Maximum overall drain hose length: 2.50 m.
Maximum drain height (“U” bend): 100 cm.
Minimum drain height: 55 cm.

Important:

Make sure there are no kinks in the drain hose and take precautions
against it falling while the washing machine is running.
