CAUTION!
Do not lay washing machine on its front.
3. Put the appliance back into an upright
position. Remove the power supply cable
and the drain hose from the hose holders.

It is possible to see water flowing from
the drain hose. This is because the
washing machine has been tested at the
factory.
4. Remove the three bolts and pull out the
plastic spacers.
8 ENGLISH

5. Put the plastic caps, that you find in the
user manual bag, in the holes.
We recommend that you keep the
packaging and the transit bolts for any
transport of the appliance.
5.2 Installation on suspended
flooring
Suspended wooden floors are particularly
susceptible to vibration.
To limit vibration we recommend placing a
waterproof wooden panel, at least 15 mm
thick, under the appliance. It should be
screwed to at least 2 floor beams and should
extend beyond the front feet.
If possible, install the appliance where the
floor is more stable.
5.3 Positioning and levelling
1. Install the appliance on a flat hard floor.
Make sure that carpets do not stop the
air circulation below the appliance.
Make sure that the appliance does not
touch the wall or other units.
2. Loosen or tighten the feet to adjust the
level.
WARNING!
Do not put cardboard, wood or equivalent
materials below the appliance feet to
adjust the level.
x4
The appliance must be level and stable.
A correct adjustment of the appliance
level prevents the vibration, noise and
the movement of the appliance when in
operation.
When the machine is installed on a plinth
or if a washer dryer is stacked on the
washing machine, use the accessories
described in chapter 'Accessories'. Read
carefully the instructions supplied with
the appliance and with the accessory.
5.4 The inlet hose
1. Connect the water inlet hose to the back
of the appliance.
ENGLISH 9

2. Position it toward left or right depending
on the position of the water tap.
20º20º
45º45º
Make sure that the inlet hose is not in
vertical position.
3. If necessary, loose the ring nut to set it in
the correct position.
4. Connect the water inlet hose to the cold
water tap with 3/4" thread.
WARNING!
The inlet water shall not exceed 25 °C.
CAUTION!
Make sure that there are no leaks from
the couplings.
Do not use an extension hose if the inlet
hose is too short. Contact the service
centre for the replacement of the inlet
hose.
5.5 Water drainage
The drain hose should be positioned at a
height of not less than 60 cm and not more
than 100 cm from the floor.
You can extend the drain hose to
maximum 400 cm. Contact the
authorized service centre for the other
drain hose and the extension.
It is possible to connect the drain hose in
different ways:
1. The drain hose can be bent into U shape
and put around the plastic guide
Buy accessories from authorised supplier
2. On the edge of a sink - Fasten the guide
to the water tap or to the wall.
Make sure that the plastic guide cannot
move when the appliance drains.
Make sure that the drain hose end is not
immersed in the water. There may be a
return of dirty water into the appliance.
10 ENGLISH

3. To a stand pipe with vent-hole - Insert
the drain hose directly into a drain pipe.
Refer to the illustration.
The end of the drain hose must always
be ventilated , i.e. the inner diameter of
the drain pipe (min. 38 mm - min. 1.5")
must be larger than the external diameter
of the drain hose.
4. If the end of the drain hose looks like this
(see the picture), you can push it directly
into the stand pipe.
5. Without the plastic hose guide, to a
sink spigot - Put the drain hose in the
spigot and tighten it with a clamp. Refer
to the illustration.
Make sure that the drain hose makes a
loop to prevent particles going into the
appliance from the sink.
6. Position the hose directly to a built-in
drain pipe in the room wall and tighten
it with a clamp.
5.6 Electrical connection
At the end of installation you can connect the
mains plug to the mains socket.
The rating plate on the inner edge of the
appliance door and the 'Technical Data'
chapter indicate the necessary electrical
ratings. Make sure that they are compatible
with the mains power supply.
Check that your domestic electrical
installation can take the maximum load
required, also taking into account any other
appliances in use.
Connect the appliance to an earthed
socket.
The power supply cable must be easily
accessible after installing the appliance.
For any electrical work required to install this
appliance, contact our Authorised Service
Centre.
The manufacturer does not accept any
responsibility for damage or injury through
failure to comply with the above safety
precaution.

Programme Programme description
Anti-Allergy White cotton items. This high-performance wash program combined with
steam vapour, removes more than 99,99% of bacteria and viruses3) keeping
the temperature above 60°C throughout the washing phase; with an additional
action on the fibers thanks to a vapour phase, an enhanced rinsing phase en‐
sures a proper removal of detergent and micro-organism residues. This pro‐
gram ensures also a proper reduction of pollens/allergenic items.
Jeans Denim clothing and jersey items. Normal soil. This programme performs a
gentle rinsing phase, designed for denim, that reduces fading and does not
cause washing powder residues on the fibres.
Sport Mixed fabric sportswear like polyester, polyester, elastane blends, polya‐
mide. A cycle for outdoor sport clothes normal soiled
Cotton 20° Mixed fabric (cotton and synthetic items)4).
20min 3kg Cotton and synthetic items lightly soiled or once worn.
1) To reduce creasing, this cycle regulates the water temperature and performs a soft wash and spin phase. The
appliance adds some rinses.
2) During this cycle the drum rotates slowly to ensure a gentle wash. It can seem that the drum doesn't rotate or
doesn't rotate properly, but this is normal for this programme.
3) Tested for Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecium, Candida albicans, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and
MS2 Bacteriophage in external test performed by Swissatest Testmaterialien AG in 2021 (Test Report No.

Ecodesign Regulation 2019/2023 and the EU Energy Label Regulation 2019/2014, this programme at 40 °C is able
to clean normally soiled cotton laundry declared to be washable at 40 °C or 60 °C, together in the same cycle.
For the reached temperature in the laundry, the programme duration and other data, please refer to 'Con‐
sumption Values' chapter.
The most efficient programmes in terms of energy consumption are generally those that perform at lower tem‐
peratures and longer duration.
2) Set the spin speed. Make sure it is suitable for the type of fabric being washed. If you set the No Spin option
then only the drain phase is available.
