BEFORE USING THE WASHING MACHINE

1.Removing the packaging and inspection

•

After unpacking, make sure that the washing

machine is undamaged. If in doubt, do not use the

washing machine. Contact After-Sales Service or

your local retailer.

•

Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags,

polystyrene parts, etc.) out of reach of children,

as they are potentially dangerous.

•

If the appliance was exposed to the cold prior to

delivery, keep it at room temperature for a few

hours before operating.

2.Remove the transport bolts

•

The washing machine is fitted with transport

bolts to avoid any possible damage to the interior

during transport. Before using the machine, it is

imperative that the transport bolts are removed.

•

After their removal, cover the openings with the

4 enclosed plastic caps.

3.Install the washing machine

•

Remove the protective film from the control panel

(if available on your model).

•

Move the appliance without lifting it by the worktop.

•

Install the appliance on a solid and level floor

surface, preferably in a corner of the room.

•

Make sure that all four feet are stable and resting

on the floor and then check that the washing

machine is perfectly level (use a spirit level).

•

In case of wooden or so-called “floating floors”

(for instance certain parquet or laminate floors),

place the appliance on a 60 x 60 cm sheet of

plywood at least 3 cm in thickness which is

secured to the floor.

•

Make sure that the ventilation openings in the

base of your washing machine (if available on

your model) are not obstructed by a carpet or

other material.

4.Water inlet

•

Connect the water inlet hose(s) to the drinking

water supply in accordance with the regulations

of your local water company.

•

For models with one inlet valve: cold water

•

For models with two inlet valves: cold AND hot

water, or cold water only (see separate

Installation Guide).

•

Water tap: 3/4” threaded hose

connector

•

Water pressure

(flow pressure): 100-1000 kPa (1-10 bar).

•

Use only new hoses to connect the washing

machine to the water supply. Used hoses must

not be used and should be discarded.

•

For models with hot fill: the hot water inlet

temperature must not exceed 60°C.

5.Drain

•

Connect the drain hose to the siphon or hook it

over the edge of a sink by means of the “U” bend

supplied.

•

If the washing machine is connected to an

integrated drainage system, ensure the latter is

equipped with a vent to avoid simultaneous

loading and draining of water (siphoning effect).

6.Electrical connection

•

Electrical connections must be carried out by a

qualified technician in compliance with the

manufacturer’s instructions and current standard

safety regulations.

•

Data regarding voltage, power consumption and

protection requirements is given on the inside of

the door.

•

The appliance must be connected to the mains by

means of a socket with an earth connection in

accordance with current regulations. The

washing machine must be earthed by law. The

manufacturer declines all liability for damage to

property or injury to persons or animals due to

non-compliance with the directions given above.

•

Do not use extension leads or multiple sockets.

•

Before any maintenance on the washing machine

disconnect it from the mains supply.

•

After installation, access to the mains plug or to

disconnection from mains supply must be

ensured at all times via a double-pole switch.

•

Do not operate the washing machine if it has

been damaged during transport. Inform the

After-Sales Service.

•

Mains cable replacement is only to be carried out

by After-Sales Service.

•

The appliance must only be used in the
