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
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

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

integrated drainage system, ensure the latter is
equipped with a vent to avoid simultaneous
loading and draining of water (siphoning effect)
