of servicing unless it is recommended in the
maintenance instructions in the manual.
Do not climb onto the machine or stand
on the open hatch door.
Do not use an extension lead or adaptor
to connect your washing machine to the

CONNECTION TO THE MAINS WATER SUPPLY AND
DRAINAGE
The water supply hose is inside the drum:
aConnect the bent end of the hose to the
threaded inlet of the electrovalve located
at the rear of the washing machine.
bConnect the other end of the hose to
the water intake. Then securely tighten
the connection nut.
installation and assembly
It is important that the drain hose
bend is correctly fastened to the
outlet, to prevent any risk of it
becoming detached and causing
flooding.
If your washing machine has a hot
water intake, connect the hose with
the red threaded end to the hot water
tap, and to the electrovalve with the
red filter.
The washing machine must be
connected to the mains water supply,
using the new supply hoses supplied
with the appliance. Do not use water
supply hoses that have been used
before.
For your washing machine to work
properly, the mains water pressure
must be between 0.05 and 1MPa (0.05
and 10 Kgr/cm2).
aIt is recommended that you have a fixed
drainage outlet 50 to 70 cm from the
floor.
Avoid the drain hose being too tight,
kinked or restricted.

Important
Use the adjustable feet to level the
washing machine. This will reduce
the noise level and prevent it from
moving during use.
Do not bring the feet too far out, you
will achieve better stability.
You need to use a spanner for the
models that have a nut.

LEVELLING THE WASHING MACHINE AND CONNECTING
IT TO THE MAINS ELECTRICITY SUPPLY
installation and assembly
3
Consult the specifications plate located on the
hatch door of the washing machine before
making the electrical connections. Ensure that
the voltage reaching the plug is the same as
that on the plate.
Do not remove the specifications plate.
The information on it is important.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
LEVELLING
It is very important to correctly earth the
washing machine. The electrical
installation, plug, socket, fuses or
automatic switch and counter must be
correctly dimensioned for the maximum
power indicated on the specifications
plate.
Do not plug the washing machine plug
into the socket with wet or damp hands.
To remove the power cord, pull on the
body of the plug.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by a cord or special unit provided
by either the manufacturer or your after-
sales service.
With built-in washing machines, the plug
must be accessible after installation.

PRE-CLEANING
When your washing machine has been
correctly installed, we recommend that you
pre-clean the machine.
This is to check that the installation, the
connections and the drainage are all correct,
and to thoroughly clean the inside of the
washing machine before any wash
programmes are run (see the operating
instructions on the following pages).
aSelect the normal programme at 60ºC.
bPress the Start/Stop button.

aSort the clothes according to fabric
and how they are made:
We recommend using the delicate
programmes for sensitive fabrics. There
is a special wool programme for
woollens.
bSort clothes according to how soiled
they are.
•Wash lightly soiled garments using a
short programme.
•Use a programme without prewash
for medium-soiled garments.
•Wash heavily soiled garments using a
long programme with prewash.
aSort your clothes according to colour.
Wash whites and coloured separately.
using the appliance and practical tips
Important
Make sure
beforehand
that your
woollens can
be machine-
washed.
Before placing the clothes in the
drum, make sure all the pockets are
empty.
Any small objects may block the drain
pump.

Important
We recommend loading the washing
machine to its full capacity. This
means savings on water and energy.
Whenever possible, we recommend
that you wash garments of different
sizes within the same wash
programme. This improves the
washing action and also aids the
correct distribution of the garments
in the drum when spin-drying, and
the washing machine will therefore
be quieter.
It is a good idea to put small garments
in a wash bag.
SORTING THE CLOTHES
Important

aYour washing machine’s detergent
dispenser has three compartments.
bPut the detergent or additive into the
detergent dispenser before starting the
wash programme.
cLiquid detergents may also be used in
this washing machine. An optional
detergent dispenser is to be used for
this, which can be obtained from the
Technical Service Network.
Place this optional dispenser inside the
wash compartment.
The level of liquid must never be
higher than the MAX mark printed on
the dispenser wall.
Remember that the amount of detergent to
be used will always depend on:
The amount of clothes to be washed.
How heavily the clothes are soiled.
The hardness of the water (Information on
water hardness in your area can be obtained
from the competent local authorities).
We recommend the use of a
decalcifying product if the water
hardness is high in your area.

2USING DETERGENT AND ADDITIVES

using the appliance and practical tips
DETERGENT AND
ADDITIVES
Important
Remember that concentrated detergents
exist which are more environment- and
nature-friendly.
The use of more detergent than
necessary will not improve your
washing results, and apart from costing
you money it will have a negative effect
on the preservation of the
environment.
We therefore recommend you follow
the detergent manufacturer’s
instructions.
