the closure of the lid is so impossible. An electromechanic safety
prohibits the opening of the lid when the washing machine works and
2 minutes after the end of the programme.
Washing motor : in case of mechanic overloading, overvoltage, a thermic
safety protects automatically the motor.
Heating : the heating can only begin whenthe water quantity necessary
for the washing is in the tub. This safety is useful when there is a water
break-up or if you forget to open the water inlet hose.
When disposing of the machine in a proper manner, destroy the door

Environmental information

All materials marked by the symbol are biodegradable. They can be

In order to realize water and energy savings and to act in an environmentally
conscious manner, we advice to follow the below instructions :

- use if possible the appliance with full loadsinstead of partial loads. Take care
to do not overload the drum.

- Use only the programmes with prewash for very soiled laundry.

- Savings on detergent and for the environment may also be achieved if with
medium to hard water you add sufficient detergent for soft water and then add
separately a softener. This relievesour waters of a certain amount of
chemicals.

INSTALLATION

BE CAREFUL : The parts protecting the inner components of the machine during transit are red. They must all be
removed before using your machine for the first time. In order to avoid possible damage to the appliance, it is
indispensable to take away the polystyrene basis, the two red loosened spacers at the back of the applianc and the
polystyrene wedge (follow the instructions of the unpacking sheet). Close imperatively the 2 holes left by the 2 spacers
with the plugs provided with the appliance ; do not forget to put on the central cover.

Installation

The floor must be clean and dry, free from floor polish and other
greasy substances, so that the machine does not slide about.
Do not use any grease as lubrification.
Installation on deep pile carpets and floor
coverings with foam backings is not recommended, as the
stability of the machine is no longer guaranteed. If the
installation must be done on a carpetedfloor, the openings
located at the lower part of the back of the appliance must
remain free. These openings ensure a good ventilation of your
applicance. In case of small format tiles, place a standard
rubber mat under the machine.
With sprung floors, in particular wooden plank floors with
yielding floor boards, screw down a waterproof wooden base at
least 15 mm thick, across at least 2 floor boards. Wherever
possible, place the appliance in the corner of the room - there
wooden floors are most secure and least liable to resonance
vibrations.
Never compensate for small unevennesses in the floor by
placing wood, pasteboard or such like.
The front adjustable feet must be blocked after installation of

the appliance by means of the locking nuts.

Electrical connection

Before you fit the plug into the wall socket, check the following
points :

1) The supply voltage of the domestic wiring system does not
fluctuate by more that 10%, plus or minus, from 230 V.

2) The meter, the fuses, the supply line and the wall socket are
suitable to carry the maximum load required by the machine
(2,3 kW).

Very important :
The washing machine is provided with a feeding wire with
earth connection: it must be connected to a plug like that
is provided with a good earth connection.

The replacing of the power cord must only be realized by
the After Sales Service.

The manufacturer declines any responsibility where the
previous recommendations are not followed.

Levelling

Water connection

Connect the water inlet hose to a
cold water tap with a 3/4" gas
threaded orifice, after having
inserted the rugger sealing washer
into the hose collar. If the water
connection is made onto new pipes

B

or onto pipes which have not been
used for a long time, it is advisable
to run off a certain amount of water
before connecting the machine.

Place the curved end of the outled
hose into a drain pipe having a height between 70 and 100 cm
from floor level or secure it to a sink or bath tub. Make sure that
the drain hose is firmly secured so that it will not slip out or fall
down from its position.
The water should drain freely and, consequently, the drain hose
should not be choked or placed in such a way as to obstruct the
normal water flow. If an extension hose is required, remember
that it might cause a malfunction in the drain pump, particularly
if the extension has a length in excess of 1 meter or if the
diameter of the extension is smaller than the diameter of the
original drain hose.

Carefully level the machine adjusting the levelling feet located
at the front of the base and then tighten the lock nuts at the top
of the feet.
