BEFORE USING THE WASHING MACHINE
Water pressure
1.Removing the packaging and inspection
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, as 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 bolts
The washing machine is fitted with transport
bolts to avoid any possible damage to the interior during transport. Before using the machine, it is imperative that the transport bolts are removed. After their removal, cover the openings with the
4 enclosed plastic caps.
3.Install the washing machine
Remove the protective film from the control panel
(if available on your model). Move the appliance without lifting it by the worktop.
Install the appliance on a solid and level floor
surface, preferably in a corner of the room. Make sure that all four feet are stable and resting
on the floor and then check that the washing machine is perfectly level (use a spirit level). In case of wooden or so-called “floating floors”
(for instance certain parquet or laminate floors), place the appliance on a 60 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 inlet
Connect the water inlet hose(s) to the drinking
water supply in accordance with the regulations of your local water company. For models with one inlet valve: cold water
For models with two inlet valves: cold AND hot
water, or cold water only (see separate Installation Guide). Water tap: 3/4” threaded hose
connector
(flow pressure): 100-1000 kPa (1-10 bar). Use only new hoses to connect the washing
machine to the water supply. Used hoses must not be used and should be discarded. For models with hot fill: the hot water inlet
temperature must not exceed 60°C.
5.Drain
Connect the drain hose to the siphon or hook it
over the edge of a sink by means of the “U” bend supplied. If the washing machine is connected to an
integrated 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 current standard safety regulations. Data regarding voltage, power consumption and
protection requirements is given on the inside of the door. The appliance must be connected to the mains 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 damage to property or injury to persons or animals due to non-compliance with the directions given above. Do not use extension leads or multiple sockets.
Before any maintenance on the washing machine
disconnect it from the mains supply. After installation, access to the mains plug or to
disconnection from mains supply must be ensured at all times via a double-pole switch. 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 appliance must only be used in the
household for the prescribed uses.

The washing machine is appropriate for indoor
use only. Do not store flammable fluids near the appliance.
Children must be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance. This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Do not operate the washing machine at
temperatures below 5°C. If you want to place a dryer on top of your
washing machine, first contact our After-Sales Service or your specialist dealer to verify if this is possible. This is only admitted if the dryer is fixed on the washing machine by using an appropriate stacking kit available through our After-Sales Service or your specialist dealer. Do not leave the appliance plugged in when not
in use. Turn off the tap when not in use.
Before any cleaning and maintenance switch off
the machine or disconnect it from the mains. Never open the door forcibly or use it as a step.
If necessary, the power cable may be replaced
with an identical one obtained from our After­Sales Service. The power cable must only be replaced by a qualified technician.
2.Packaging
The packaging material is entirely recyclable, and
marked with the recycling symbol . Adhere to current local regulations when disposing of packaging material.
3.Disposing of packaging and scrapping old washing machines
The washing machine is built from reusable
materials. It must be disposed of in compliance with current local waste disposal regulations. Before scrapping, remove all detergent residues
and cut off the power cable so that the washing machine is made unusable. This appliance is marked according to the
European directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this product.
The symbol on the product, or on the documents accompanying the product, indicates that this appliance may not be treated as household waste. Instead it shall be handed over
to the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. Disposal must be carried out in accordance with local environmental regulations for waste disposal. For more detailed information about treatment, recovery and recycling of this product, please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product.
4.Frost
Do not place the washing machine in a room prone to frost. If you must, make sure that the washing machine is completely drained after each wash:
Remove inlet hose(s) from water tap and let the
water flow out completely. Remove drain hose from siphon or handwash
basin and let the water flow out completely. Empty residual water inside the machine by
following the instructions in the chapter “Draining Residual Water”; tilt the appliance forward with two persons to let the rest water flow out completely.
5.Saving tips
The water consumption of your washing machine is optimized; in some programmes you therefore cannot see the water through the door glass when the machine is in operation.
Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent
and time by using the recommended maximum load size. Do not exceed the detergent dosages indicated
in the manufacturer’s instructions. The Eco-Ball - a special system in the outlet - will
prevent detergent loss from the drum to avoid detergent loss into the environment. Use “Prewash” (if available on your model) for
heavily soiled laundry only! Save detergent, time, water and energy consumption by not selecting “Prewash” for slightly to normally soiled laundry. Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried-
in stains in water before washing to reduce the necessity of a hot wash programme. Save energy by using a 60° C instead of a 95° C
wash programme or a 40°C instead of a 60°C wash programme. Save energy and time by selecting a high spin
speed to reduce the water content in laundry before using a tumble dryer.
6.EC Declaration of Conformity
The appliance conforms to the following
European Standards: 2006/95/EC Low Voltage Directive 2004/108/EC Electromagnetic Compatibility

DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES
Do not use liquid detergent when activating the
Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry place out of the reach of children!
The choice of detergent depends on:
Type of fabric (cottons, easy care/synthetics,
delicate items, wool).
Please note:
washing wool and garments made of microfibres (like sports or swimwear). Colour.
The wash temperature.
Degree and type of soiling.
• Remarks:
Any whitish residues on dark fabrics are caused
by insoluble compounds used in phosphate-free powder detergents. If this occurs, shake or brush out the fabric or use liquid detergents. Use only detergents and additives specifically
produced for domestic washing machines. When using descaling agents, dyes or bleaches
for the prewash (if available on your model), make sure that they are suitable for use in domestic washing machines. Descalers could contain products which could damage your washing machine. Do not use any solvents (e.g. turpentine,
benzine). Do not machine wash fabrics that have been treated with solvents or flammable liquids. Do not use liquid detergent for the main wash
when having activated the “prewash” option (if available on your model).
Use only specific detergents for
“Start Delay” function (if available on your model).
Dosage
Follow the dosage recommendations on the detergent pack. They depend on:
degree and type of soiling
size of wash
- full load: follow the detergent manufacturer’s
instructions.
- half load: 3/4 the amount used for a full load.
- minimum load (about 1 kg): 1/2 the amount
used for a full load.
If there is no reference to a certain wash load on
the detergent pack: the detergent manufacturers
usually refer their dosing recommendations to
4.5 kg laundry for heavy duty detergent and
2.5 kg laundry for delicate detergent.
water hardness in your area (ask for information
from your water company). Soft water requires
less detergent than hard water.
Please note:
Too much detergent can result in excess foam formation, which reduces washing efficiency. If the washing machine detects too much foam, it may prevent spinning, or prolong the programme duration and increase the water consumption (see also remarks on foam formation in the “Troubleshooting Guide”). Insufficient detergent may result in grey laundry and also calcifies the heating system, drum and hoses.
