Observe the instructions given in these Instructions
for Use, the Installation Guide and the Programme
Chart when using the washing machine.

BEFORE USING THE WASHING MACHINE
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
•
Water pressure
(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 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.

•
If you want to place a dryer on top of your

on the washing machine by using an appropriate
stacking kit available through our After-Sales

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.

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

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 driedin 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
