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.

•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 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.

4.Water inlet

•Connect the water supply inlet hose in accordance with the regulations of your local water company.

• Water inlet:	Cold water only
	(if no other information on
	your programme chart)
• 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.

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.

3.Safety instructions

•The washing machine is appropriate for indoor use only.

•Do not store flammable fluids near the appliance.

•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. 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.

•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.

4.Energy saving tips

•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” for heavily soiled laundry only! Save detergent, time, water and energy consumption by not selecting “Prewash” for slight to normally soiled laundry.

•Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak drued 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 (for machines with adjustable spin speed).
