BEFORE USING THE WASHING MACHINE
Water tap:3/4” threaded hose
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.
Check that the accessories and supplied parts are
•
all present.
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 before
•
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 washing
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
You are advised not to install the appliance in a
•
room where the temperature could drop to
below 0°C.
Given the weight of the appliance, attention must
•
be paid to safety standards when it is being moved.
When positioning the appliance, make sure that
•
the power cable is not kinked or compressed and
that it can be easily accessed if required.
Remove the protective film from the control
•
panel (if available on your model).
Move the appliance without carrying 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.
If the washing machine is installed on a carpeted
•
floor, leave sufficient space between the
appliance and the floor to guarantee the free
circulation of air.

•
accordance with the regulations of your local
water company.
Water supply:Cold water only (unless
•
otherwise indicated on
the programme chart)

connector”
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 connections

•
qualified technician in compliance with the
manufacturer’s instructions and current standard
safety regulations.
Voltage, power consumption and electrical

to persons or pets deriving from failure to
observe the a/m directions.
Do not use extension leads or multi 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.

possible. Placing a dryer on your washing
machine is only admitted 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.
•
Children must not be allowed to play with the
•
washing machine or to climb into the drum.
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.

•
For washer/dryer models
Do NOT dry items that have been washed or
•
treated with chemical stain removers, cooking
oil, petroleum, acetone, alcohol, petrol, paraffin,
white spirit, wax.
Remove these substances by means of a hot wash
with abundant detergent before drying.
Do NOT dry items made from foam rubber,
•
latex, raincoats, waterproof fabrics, rubber
airbeds, printed objects, clothes or pillows filled
with foam rubber. These materials could melt
and damage other items in the wash or damage
the appliance.
4.Advice on saving energy
To achieve the best use of energy, water,
•
detergent and time use the recommended
maximum load size.
Do not exceed the recommended dosages on
•
the detergent packet.
The Eco Flap - a special system in the outlet -
•
prevents detergent loss from the drum to avoid
detergent loss into the environment.
Use the “Pre-wash” programme for heavily
•
soiled laundry only. Use a programme with no
“Pre-wash” cycle for slightly or normally soiled
items; You save on water, energy and time as a
result.
Before using the washing machine, treat laundry
•
with a stain remover or soak dry stained items in
water so as to avoid having to use high
temperature wash programmes.
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 drying programme (for machines
with adjustable spin speed).
