Installation
• All internal packing must be removed before using
the appliance. Serious damage may be caused to
the machine or adjacent furniture if the protective
transit devices are not removed or are not
completely removed. Refer to the relevant
paragraph in the instruction book.
• Any electrical work required to install this appliance
must be carried out by a qualified electrician.
• Any plumbing work required to install this
appliance must be carried out by a qualified
plumber.
• After having installed the machine, check that it is
not standing on its electrical supply cable.
• If the appliance is placed on a carpeted floor,
ensure that air can circulate freely between the feet
and the floor.
Use
• This appliance is designed for domestic use. It
must not be used for purposes other than those for
which it was designed.
• Only wash fabrics which are designed to be
machine washed. Follow the instructions on each
garment label.
• Do not overload the appliance. Follow the
instructions in the instruction book.
• Make sure that all pockets are empty. Objects such
as coins, safety pins, pins and screws can cause
extensive damage.
• Do not machine wash garments saturated with
petroleum, methylated spirits, trichlorethylene, etc.
If such fluids have been used to remove stains
prior to washing, wait until they have completely
evaporated from the fabric before placing garments
in the appliance.
• Place small items such as socks, belts, etc. in a
cloth bag or pillowcase to prevent them getting
trapped between the drum and the tub.
• Use only the recommended quantities of fabric
softener. An excessive amount could damage the
laundry.
Warnings
• Leave the porthole door slightly ajar when the
appliance is not in use. This preserves the door
seal and prevents the formation of musty smells.
• Always check that water has emptied out before
opening the door. If not, drain the water following
the instructions in the instruction book.
• Always unplug the appliance and shut the water
tap after use.
General safety
• Repairs to the machine must be carried out only by
qualified personnel. Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons could cause serious
danger. Contact your local Service Centre.
• Never pull the power supply cable to remove the
plug from the socket; always take hold of the plug
itself.
• During high temperature wash programmes the
door glass may get hot. Do not touch it!
The following warnings are provided in the interests of overall safety. You must read them carefully before
installing or using the appliance.

Disposal
Tips for environmental protection
Packaging materials
The materials marked with the symbol are
recyclable.
>PE<=polyethylene
>PS<=polystyrene
>PP<=polypropylene
This means that they can be recycled by disposing of
them properly in appropriate collection containers.
Machine
Use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance.
Help to keep your country tidy!
To save water, energy and to help protect the
environment, we recommend that you follow these
tips:
• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without
prewashing in order to save detergent, water and
time (the environment is protected too!).
• The machine works more economically if it is fully
loaded.
• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited
soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be
washed at a lower temperature.
• Measure out detergent according to the water
hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of
laundry being washed.
Child safety
• Children are often not aware of how dangerous
electrical appliances can be. When the machine is
working, children should be carefully supervised
and not be allowed to play with the appliance.
• The packaging components (e.g. plastic film,
polystyrene) can be dangerous to children - danger
of suffocation! Keep them out of children’s reach.
• Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children’s
reach.
• Make sure that children or pets do not climb into
the drum.
• When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the
electrical supply cable and destroy the plug with
the remaining cable. Disable the door catch in
order to prevent children from becoming trapped
inside while playing.

Installation
Transit security bars
Before starting the machine up, the transport
security bars must be removed as follows:
You are advised to keep all the transport security
bars in case the appliance has to be transported
again.
1. Unscrew and remove
the three rear screws
by means of a key.
2. Lean the appliance
back on the rear and
fit one of the
polystyrene angles
between the appliance
and the floor.
Make sure the hoses
are not squashed.
3. Carefully remove the
plastic bags on the
right and the left,
pulling them to the
centre of the appliance
4. Place the machine in an upright position and
remove the three plastic bolts.
5. Plug the 3 holes with the plastic plugs which you
can find in the envelope containing the instruction
booklet.
Hydraulic connection
There should be a COLD WATER tap near the
washing machine with a screwing on connection
pipe of 3/4 gas for the water supply, a sink, a wash
basin or a drainage system in the wall.
Previously check if:
— it is not a hot water tap.
— the running water is clean. If not, run off a
reasonable amount of water to flush out any
debris that may have collected in the pipes.
Have the permanent drainage system in the wall
checked by a plumber.
A) Place the enclosed
rubber joint, delivered in
a plastic bag together
with the appliance (A)
Fig.6), at the very end of
the inlet hose and
carefully screw the pipe
to the tap taking care not
to damage the
screwdrive and fix the
nut well on to the end in
order to avoid leaking.
B) If necessary turn the
hose adequately by
unscrewing the nut at the
rear of the appliance.
C) Now tighten the nut
anew to avoid leaks.
(Open the tap and asure
that it does not leak and
close it again.)
D) Place the discharging
hose in a washbasin or
sink with the aid of the
bent piece delivered
separately. The bent
piece has to be entered
into the tube’s mouth in
order to assure the
support. Aforesaid piece
allows the hose to be
fixed to the wall by means
of an opening on the
upper part and that way
the hose does not move
and its falling is avoided.

1,5 m. Max.
60 cm. Min.
90 cm. Max.
IMPORTANT: The distance from the floor to the
highest part of the hose should be between 60 to
90 cm. (It is advised to be between 60 and 70 cm).
The hose must not be bent nor twisted to avoid
clogging. Should a prolongation of the discharging
hose be unavoidable this must never surpass 1.5 m
and must be of the same diameter as the original
hose.
Make sure the hoses are not too tense.
Levelling
Level the appliance by loosening or tightening the
feet. Once in the right position fix the feet by
pushing the nuts against the base of the case.
Accurate levelling will prevent vibration, noise and
displacement of the appliance during operation.
Some vibration is inevitable, especially if placed on
a wooden floor. Wooden floors are particularly
susceptible to vibrations. For advice, consult a
builder. If posible always place the appliance on a
solid floor.
Electrical connections
Before plugging the appliance make sure that:
1º. the mains of your installation is the same as on
the rating plate of your appliance (the plate is
sticked to the rear of the appliance).
2º. The meter, the fuses, the wiring and the socket
outlet can support the max. power absorbed stated
on the rating plate.
3º. The socket base and the plug must fit in
adequately without any reducing interposition,
multiple outlets or adapters. If necessary replace
the socket outlet by an adequate one.
The applicable rules for electrical security
require an adequate earthing. The plug of the
appliance is provided with such a device.
Make sure your socket outlet is provided with
an adquate earthing too.
The manufacturer declines any liability in case
of accidents or incicents should these safety
measures not be observed.
