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.

Technical specifications

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) Carefully screw the

pipe of the inlet hose 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.
