Installation
Removing the transit bolts
WARNING!
Before installing the washing machine, you must remove the transit bolts from the
back of the housing and cover the holes with the transit hole caps provided.
The bolts hold the drum in place during transport but they must be removed
before use so the drum can move during the wash and spin cycles. Leaving the
bolts installed will result in strong shock and noise during use, malfunction and
serious damage to the machine.
• Dismantle the four transit bolts from the
back of the washing machine using an
appropriate tool (Fig. 2).
• Keep the bolts in a safe place; you will
need them again when moving the
machine, if you move house, for example.
• Cover the holes with the supplied caps.
Selecting the location
Before installing the appliance, make sure the
location meets the following requirements:
• A concrete floor is the most suitable
installation surface for a washing machine,
being far less prone to vibration during the
spin cycle than wooden floorboards or a carpeted surface.
• The machine must be level and securely
positioned. It must be protected from direct
sunlight, water and weather.
• The distance between the machine and wall
must be more than 10 cm (Fig. 3).
• To avoid vibrations during spinning, the machine
should not be installed on soft floor coverings.
If the appliance must be placed on a carpeted
surface, place a plastic mat underneath and
ensure any ventilation openings in the base are
not obstructed.

Installation (Cont.)
Levelling the machine
Place the machine on solid, dry and level ground. The machine must stand perfectly
level on all four feet to ensure safe and proper operation. Incorrect installation may
cause vibrations and noise and may cause the machine to move about.
To determine whether levelling is necessary, place a spirit level on top of the washer
and hold it upright against the housing to identify any inclinations. If the machine
needs levelling, proceed as follows (Fig. 4):
WARNING!
It is very important to level the washing machine carefully, especially if your floor is
uneven. Failure to do so may result in the machine shaking and moving during the
spin cycle, or out-of-balance problems.
WARNING!
The lock nuts on all four feet must be screwed tightly against the housing, otherwise
the machine may vibrate noisily during operation.

Installing the drain hose
WARNING!
Do not kink or protract the drain hose.
Position the drain hose properly in order to prevent water spillage onto the floor
and potential damage.
Never immerse the end of the drain hose in water.
The drain hose is installed at the back of the machine. For drainage of the washing
water, you can install the other end of the hose two different ways: either directly into a
laundry sink or into a standpipe.
Drain hose connection into a sink (Fig. 5)
Installation (Cont.)
• If the spigot outlet has not been used before, remove any blanking plug that may
be in place.
• Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with a clip, if required.
• Ensure a loop is formed in the drain hose to prevent waste from the sink entering
the washing machine.
• If required, the drain hose may be extended to a length of 4 m.

WARNING!
Never lay down the drain hose as water will be discharged.
Be sure the drain hose is properly routed so it will not kink or lift off the sink.
Leave the drain hose affixed to the back of the machine.
Fig. 6
Drain hose connection into a standpipe (Fig. 6)
• Firstly, form a hook in the end of the drain hose using the supplied drain hose elbow.
• Place the drain hose into your standpipe, which should have an internal diameter of
approximately 30 mm, thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose
and standpipe.
• When discharging into a standpipe, ensure that the top of the standpipe is no more
than 90 cm and no less than 60 cm above floor level.
FROST PROTECTION
Do not install the washing machine in places where temperatures drop to below 0°C.
The reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below
freezing point, and the machine’s inlet valve and draining systems may get damaged
as frozen hoses may burst or split.
If temperatures drops to below 0°C, transfer it to an area with a warmer ambient
temperature before use and ensure no residual water is frozen in hoses and pipes.

Connecting the water supply hose
WARNING!
To prevent leakage or water damage, make sure to follow the instructions in this
section when connecting the washing machine to your water supply.
Do not kink, crush, modify or sever the water inlet hose.
• Connect the supplied cold water supply hose to an ordinary laundry tap with a 3/4”
thread (Fig. 7). Installation should comply with all requirements and regulations of
your local water and building authorities.
• Turn on the tap and check for leaks. In case of leakage, repeat the connection
steps above, or tighten the nut more firmly. If your water pressure is strong, close
the water tap completely, then open it slightly.
CAUTION!
When tightening the coupling nut, take care not to damage the water inlet valve
joint. Apply force evenly and do not twist the water inlet valve.

Wash program details
Heavy
Programs in this category are designed to wash greater volumes of laundry (up to 8 kg)
per load. They are listed in order of wash time, meaning that for more soiled clothing, the
longer programs towards the end of the category are suitable.
Light
These programs are best suited to lighter loads of laundry. The eighteen-minute quick
wash cycle offers a fast and effective wash using cold water, and is suitable for lightly
soiled, small loads.
Medium
Programs in the this category are best suited to wash medium-sized loads, from
4-6 kg. For more heavily soiled loads, the anti-allergy and steam cycles operate at
high temperatures to kill any bacteria - before using these programs please check the
garment labels to ensure that your clothes and/or linens are suitable to be washed at
these temperatures.
Drum Clean
This hot water drum clean program is recommended for use every three months to clean
the inside of the wash drum.
Special
Spin: This is a separate spin program for cotton and linen items.
Rinse+Spin: This is a separate rinse and spin program. Do not add any detergent.
Rinse+: This wash program provides an additional rinse (4 rinses in total) after the wash,
recommended for people with sensitive skin.
NOTES (CONT.)
(D) The standard Extra dirty and Hot wash programs are suitable for cleaning normally
soiled cotton laundry. These are the most efficient programs in terms of combined
energy and water consumptions for washing that type of cotton laundry.
(E) The Heavy - Hot wash program was used for energy efficiency testing to the standard
(with a water temperature of 60°C and 1400 rpm spin speed). It is the recommended
for a normally soiled load.

• The door of the front load washing machine locks automatically when the machine
is working. It cannot be opened without first pausing the wash program. To unlock
the door, press the Start/Pause button. Then turn the program dial (knob) to the Off
position: the door will unlock after two minutes.
• The door will not unlock when the temperature inside the drum is above 60C°, and/
or when the water is above a certain level.
• At the end of a wash program, the door will unlock after two minutes.
• Suds may flow out of the open door if it is opened during the wash cycle. Beware of
suds escaping from the machine and have a cloth/towel ready for catching spills.
CAUTION!
Make sure the washing machine is properly and securely installed before using it.
Before using the washing machine for washing clothes, run a complete washing
cycle without clothes, using the drum clean program.
CAUTION!
For your safety, do not turn the program dial to the Off position and
remove your wash load while the machine is running, or when the power
supply is cut off. The water temperature may be high and it may scald you.
The door will automatically unlock at the end of a wash program when the
temperature of the drum has cooled down.
Do not attempt to open the door forcibly. Doing so is unsafe and will cause damage
to the locking mechanism.
Before using the washing machine for the first time, please review the following
important points and make sure that:
• All transit bolts are removed.
• The washing machine is stable and level. If necessary, adjust the levelling feet to
stabilise the machine (see page 11).
• The water supply hose is properly installed (see page 14) and the water tap is open.
• The power plug is firmly inserted into a nearby power point and power is switched
on to the outlet.
• The drain hose is properly installed and secured into the laundry sink or a
standpipe (see pages 12–13).
• Before using the washing machine for the first time, run a complete drum
clean program without laundry items and without any detergent.
