Instructions for use

WASHING MACHINE

English,1

Installation

!Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for

future reference. Should the appliance be sold, tran-

sferred or moved, make sure the instruction manual

accompanies the washing machine to inform the

new owner as to its operation and features.

!Read these instructions carefully: they contain

vital information on installation, use and safety.

Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking

1. Unpack the washing machine.

2. Check whether the washing machine has

been damaged during transport. If this is the

case, do not install it and contact your retailer.

3. Remove the 4pro-

tective screws and the

rubber bush with the

respective spacer, si-

tuated on the rear of the

appliance (see also the

installation leaflet).

4. Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided.

5. Keep all the parts: you will need them again

if the washing machine needs to be moved to

another location.

!Packaging materials are not children’s toys.

Levelling

Your machine may make a considerable amount

of noise if the two front feet have not been adju-

sted correctly.

1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy

floor, without resting it up against walls, furniture

cabinets or other.

2. If the floor is not per-

fectly level, compensate

for any unevenness by

tightening or loosening

the adjustable front feet

(see figure); the angle

of inclination, measu-

red according to the

worktop, must not ex-

ceed 2°.

Levelling your appliance correctly will provide it

with stability and avoid any vibrations, noise and

shifting during operation. If it is placed on a fitted

or loose carpet, adjust the feet in such a way as

to allow enough room for ventilation beneath the

washing machine.

Electric and water connections

Connecting the water inlet hose

1. Connect the supply

pipe by screwing it to

a cold water tap using

a 3/4 gas threaded

connection (see figure).

Before performing the

connection, allow the

water to run freely until

it is perfectly clear.

2. Connect the other

end of the water inlet

hose to the washing

machine, screwing it

onto the appliance’s

cold water inlet, situated

on the top right-hand

side on the rear of the

appliance (see figure).

3. Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the

hose.

!The water pressure at the tap must be within

the values indicated in the Technical details

table (on the page 5).

!If the water inlet hose is not long enough,

contact a specialist store or an authorised

serviceman.

!Ensure that the supply taps are allowing wa-

ter through. Old taps may seize in the closed

position and thus prevent water reaching the

machine.

Connecting the drain hose

Connect the drain

hose, without bending

it, to a draining duct or

a wall drain situated

between 65 and 100

cm from the floor;

The drain hose may

be connected to an

under-sink trap. Be-

fore connecting the

drain hose from the

machine ensure that

any blanks or remo-

vable ends have been

taken off the spigot.

If it is placed over the

edge of a basin or sink

be sure the free end of

the hose should not

be underwater.

!We advise against the use of hose extensions; in

case of absolute need, the extension must have the

same diameter as the original hose and must not

exceed 150 cm in length. Ensure that if the drain

hose is pushed into a standpipe, that the end does

not go down more than 15cms (6 inches). If the hose

is pushed down too far, this may cause the machine

to self -syphon ie. continuously empty as it is filling.

Electric connection

Before plugging the appliance into the mains

socket, make sure that:

• the socket is earthed and in compliance with

the applicable law;

• the socket is able to sustain the appliance’s

maximum power load indicated on the Technical

Data Plate fixed on the machine;

65 - 100 cm

Where it connects to

the waste water pipe

cut end off spigot or

remove the blanking cap

• the supply voltage is included within the values

indicated on the Technical Data Plate fixed on

the machine.

• the socket is compatible with the washing

machine’s plug. If this is not the case, replace

the socket or the plug.

Your appliance is now supplied with a 13 amp fu-

sed plug it can be plugged into a 13 amp socket

for immediate use. Before using the appliance

please read the instructions below.

WARNING-THISAPPLIANCEMUSTBEEARTHED.

THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD BE

CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

Replacing the fuse:

When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA

approved fuse to BS 1362 should always be

used, and the fuse cover re-fitted. If the fuse

cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a

replacement is obtained.

Replacement fuse covers:

If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of

the correct colour as indicated by the coloured

marking or the colour that is embossed in words

on the base of the plug. Replacements can be

obtained directly from your nearest Service Depot.

Removing the plug:

If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded

plug and you should wish to re-route the mains

cable through partitions, units etc., please en-

sure that either:

the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere rewi-

reable plug bearing the BSI mark of approval.

or:

the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp

cable outlet, controlled by a switch, (in complian-

ce with BS 5733) which is accessible without

moving the appliance.

Disposing of the plug:

Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself,

you make the pins unusable so that it cannot be

accidentally inserted into a socket.

Instructions for connecting cable to an alterna-

tive plug:

Important: the wires in the mains lead are co-

loured in accordance with the following code:

Green & Yellow Earth

Blue Neutral

Brown Live

As the colours of the wires in the lead may not

correspond with the coloured markings iden-

tifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as

follows:

Connect Green & Yellow wire to terminal

marked E or or coloured Green or Green &

Yellow.

Connect Brown wire to terminal marked L or

coloured Red.

Connect Blue wire to terminal marked N or co-

loured Black.

If a 13 amp plug (BS 1363) is used it must be

fitted with a 13 amp fuse, either in the plug or

adaptor or at the distribution board.

If you are in any doubt regarding the electrical

supply to your machine, consult a qualified

electrician before use.

How to connect an alternative plug:

The wires in this mains lead are coloured in

accordance with the following code:

BLUE NEUTRAL (N)

BROWN LIVE (L)

GREEN & YELLOW EARTH (E)

Disposing of the appliance:

When disposing of the appliance please re-

move the plug by cutting the mains cable as

close as possible to the plug body and dispo-

se of it as described above.

!The washing machine should not be installed

in an outdoor environment, not even where

the area is sheltered, because it may be very

dangerous to leave it exposed to damp, rain

and thunderstorms.

!When the washing machine is installed, the

mains socket must be within easy reach.

!Do not use extensions or multiple sockets.

!The power supply cable must never be bent

or dangerously compressed.

!The power supply cable must only be repla-

ced by an authorised serviceman.

Warning! The company denies all liability if and

when these norms are not respected.

The first wash cycle

Once the appliance has been installed, and

before you use it for the first time, run a wash

cycle with detergent and no laundry, setting

the 90°C programme.

Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water and electri-

city supplies

• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle.

This will limit wear on the hydraulic system

inside the washing machine and help to pre-

vent leaks.

• Unplug the washing machine when cleaning

it and during all maintenance work.

Cleaning the washing machine

The outer parts and rubber components of the

appliance can be cleaned using a soft cloth

soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use

solvents or abrasives.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser

drawer

Remove the dispenser

by raising it and pul-

ling it out (see figure).

Wash it under running

water; this operation

should be repeated

frequently.

Caring for the door and drum of

your appliance

• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order

to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.

Cleaning the pump

The washing machine is fitted with a self-cle-

aning pump which does not require any main-

tenance. Sometimes, small items (such as

coins or buttons) may fall into the pre-chamber

which protects the pump, situated in its bot-

tom part.

!Make sure the wash cycle has finished and

unplug the appliance.

To access the pre-

chamber:

1. using a screwdri-

ver, remove the cover

panel on the lower

front part of the wa-

shing machine (see

figure);

2. unscrew the lid

by rotating it anti-

clockwise (see figu-

re): a little water may

trickle out. This is

perfectly normal;

3. clean the inside thoroughly;

4. screw the lid back on;

5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks

are securely in place before you push it onto

the appliance.

Checking the water inlet hose

Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If

there are any cracks, it should be replaced

immediately: during the wash cycles, water

pressure is very strong and a cracked hose

could easily split open.

!Never use second-hand hoses.

Precautions and tips

!This washing machine was designed and constructed in

accordance with international safety regulations. The fol-

lowing information is provided for safety reasons and must

therefore be read carefully.
