BEFORE USING THE WASHING MACHINE
1.Remove the packaging and check
a.
Cut and remove the shrink-wrap.
b.
Remove the top protection and the protective
corners.
c. Remove the bottom protection by tilting
and turning the washing machine on one
rear bottom corner. Make sure that the
black plastic part of the bottom protection
(if available on the model) remains in the
packing and not in the machine bottom.
This is important, as otherwise the plastic part could
damage the washing machine during operation.
d.
Open the lid by pressing it slightly down while
raising the handle. Remove the polystyrene
cushion (depending on model).
e.
Remove the blue protective film from the panel
(depending on model).
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;
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 bracket
The washing machine is fitted with transport
screws and a transport bracket to prevent
damage during transport.
Before using the
washing machine you must remove the
transport bracket
(see “Installation”/“Removal
of transport bracket”).
3.Install the washing machine
Place the washing machine on a flat and stable
floor surface.
Adjust the feet to ensure that the machine
is stable and level (see “Installation”/
“Adjust the feet”).
In case of wooden or so-called “floating floors”
(for instance certain parquet or laminate floors),
place the appliance on a 40 x 60 cm sheet of
plywood at least 3 cm in thickness which is
secured to the floor.
4.Water supply
Connect the water supply inlet hose in
accordance with the regulations of your local
water company (see “Installation”/“Connect the
water inlet hose”).
Water supply: Cold water only
Tap: 3/4” threaded hose connection
Pressure: 100-1000 kPa (1-10 bar).
Only use new hoses for connecting the washing
machine to the water supply. Used hoses must
not be used anymore and should be discarded.
5.Drain hose
Connect the drain hose to the siphon or hook it
over the edge of a sink with the “U” bend (see
“Installation”/“Connect the water drain hose”).
If the washing machine is connected to a built-in
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 the current
standard safety regulations.
The technical data (voltage, power and fuses) are
given on the rating plate on the rear of the
washing machine.
The washing machine must be connected exclusively
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 injury to persons or animals or
damage to property deriving directly or indirectly
from failure to observe the directions.
Do not use extension leads or multi sockets.
Before any maintenance on the washing machine
disconnect it from the mains supply.
Access to the mains plug or to disconnection from
the mains supply via a double-pole switch must be
ensured at all times following the installation.
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 washing machine must be connected to an
effective earthing installation, in compliance with
the regulations in force. In particular, washing
machines installed in premises containing a shower
or a bath must be protected by a differential
residual current device of at least 30 mA. Earthing
the washing machine is obligatory under the law.
The manufacturer declines all liability for injury to
persons or animals or damage to property deriving
either directly or indirectly from failure to observe
the directions above.
The washing machine may only be used in the
household for the prescribed uses.
