•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.

(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,
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
•Electrical connections must be carried out by a qualified technician in compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions and current standard safety regulations.
•Voltage, power consumption and electrical protection data are supplied on the inside of the appliance door.
•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 possible damage to property or injury 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.

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).
5.EC Declaration of Conformity
•The appliance conforms to the following European Standards:
73/23/EEC Low voltage directive
