ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This washing machine must only be con-
nected in single-phased 230 V. Check the
fuse size: 13 A for 230 V. The appliance
must not be connected with an extension
lead or multi-plug adaptor. Ensure that the
plug is earthed and that it is in accordance
with current regulations.
POSITIONING
Position the appliance on a flat and hard
surface in a ventilated location. Ensure the
appliance does not come into contact with
the wall or other furniture.
To move your appliance, proceed as fol-
lows:
Place it on its rollers
by pulling the lever
located at the base
of the appliance hard
from right to left.
Once the appliance
is in the desired po-
sition, push the lever
back to its original
position. Accurate
levelling avoids vibrations, noise and pre-
vents the appliance from moving when run-
ning.
