3. INSTALLATION

3.1. Unpacking

Packing used to protect internal parts of the washing

machine during transport must be removed before the

washing machine is put into service for the first time.

Remove all packing from the

washing machine. Tilt the washing

machine sideways and then remove

the packing under the motor, and

straighten the washing machine.

Tilt the washing machine back-

wards, rotate it by a quarter of a turn

on one of its corner to remove the

transport base.

Open the washing machine lid and

remove the immobilization packing

and plastic films.

Close the lid.

Use a 10 mm spanner to remove the

two screws and spacers at the back.

You can now see the openings that

must be closed with the caches in the

pack attached to the washing machi-

ne; do not forget to fold down the

central capsule.

Make sure that you have removed all

these parts from your washing ma-

chine and keep them so that you can

use them again if you need them for

future transport.

If you want to keep your washing ma-

chine aligned with the adjacent furni-

ture, you can cut the pipe support

strip at the back of your washing ma-

chine. Leave the two side closers in

place.

3.2. Position

Put the washing machine on a flat hard floor in a well venti-

lated room.

Make sure that your washing machine does not touch the

wall or any other furniture in the room.

3.3. Leveling

Precise leveling will prevent vibrations, noise and move-

ments of the washing machine during operation.

Make the washing machine level by

adjusting the leveling screw that is

too short. Unscrew the stand and

locking collar assembly (lift the

washing machine if necessary).

When the washing machine is sta-

ble, maintain the stand on the

ground and turn the locking collar as

far as posible.

3.4. Water inlet

Please install the water inlet hose onto the back of your

washing machine:

- Insert the seal in the hole at the bot-

tom of the back panel (fig. 1).

- Screw on the bottom fitting of the

water inlet hose as shown in fig. 2

and fig. 3.

- Connect the feed hose connector

onto the water inlet tap, taking care to

position the gasket correctly.

- Turn on the water inlet tap.

The water inlet hose cannot be exten-

ded. If it is too short, please contact

the After Sales Department.

3.5. Drainage

- Assemble the hose holder onto the

drain hose.

- Place the assembly in a drainage

pipe (or in a sink) at a height between

70 and 100 cm. Make sure that it will

not fall out.

You must provide an air intake at the

end of the drainage hose, to avoid

any water being siphoned.

Important: the drainage hose must not be extended, on any

account. If it is too short, contact a qualified engineer.

3.6. Electrical connection

You can only connect this washing machine to 230 V single

phase power supply.

•the two flaps latched together,

•the locking button A extended.

4.2.2. Proportioning of detergents

Your washing machine was designed to reduce water and

detergent consumption, therefore reduce the doses recom-

mended by detergent manufacturers.

and into the prewash compartment if you chose the

if you wish.

tergents and additives» section in the washing guide.

ducing the water quantity during rinsings.

4.2.4.2.«Rinse hold» pushbutton

If you use this pushbutton, the tub remains full of water at the

end of the last rinse to prevent the washing from becoming
