•If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must
only be replaced by a LAMONA Service Engineer to
protect the user from danger.
•The machine must be isolated from the electricity
supply when cleaning and maintaining the machine
and in the event of a fault.
•The machine must only be connected to the on-site
water supply using a new hose kit. Old hose kits
must not be re-used. Check the condition of the
hoses regularly so that you can replace them in
good time and avoid the risk of any water damage.
•The water pressure required is 1 –10bar (0.1 -1Mpa).
It is necessary to have a cold water flow of between
10-80lpm for the appliance to operate efficiently.
•In areas which may be subject to infestation
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular
attention to keeping the machine and its
surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any
damage which may be caused by cockroaches or
other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.
•The machine must not be used in a non-stationary
location (e.g. on a ship).
•Do not make any alterations to the machine, unless
authorised to do so by a LAMONA Service Engineer.
Electrical Connection
•Please ensure the plug is accessible after installation.
•Should you need to replace the plug; the wires are
coloured as follows:
The blue wire must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter ‘N’ or coloured
BLACK
The brown wire must be connected to the terminal
marked with the letter ‘ L’ or coloured RED .
The green and Yellow wire must be connected to
the terminal which is marked with the letter ‘E’ or
symbol. If the power cable is damaged it must be
replaced by a qualified electrician.
Correct use
•Do not install the washing machine in a room where
there is a risk of frost. Frozen hoses may burst or
split. The reliability of the electronic control unit may
be impaired at temperatures below freezing point.
•Before using the machine for the first time, check
that the transit bolts at the rear of the machine have
been removed (see “Installation Manual - Removing
the transit bolts”). During spinning, a transit bolt
which is still in place may result in damage to both
the machine and adjacent furniture or appliances.
•Turn off the stopcock if the machine is to be left for
any length of time (e.g. holiday), especially if there is
no floor drain (gully) in the immediate vicinity.
•Flooding danger.
If hooking the drain hose into a wash basin, check
that the water can drain off quickly enough to
prevent the sink from overflowing. Make sure the
drain hose is secure, so that the force of the water
flowing out of the hose does not dislodge it.
•Take care to ensure that foreign objects (e.g. nails,
pins, coins, paper clips) do not find their way into
the machine with the laundry. These may damage
components of the machine, it’s surroundings and
the laundry.
•Observe maximum load limits for laundry. See the
Programme chart for the maximum recommended
loads for individual programmes.
•Machine cleaning and descale treatments must
follow the manufacturer’s instructions. LAMONA
cannot be held responsible for any damage
resulting from these treatments.
•Textiles which have been pre-treated in solvent
based cleaning agents must be thoroughly rinsed in
clean water before being washed in the machine.
•Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g.
those containing benzine, in or on this machine, as
this may result in damage to component parts and
create toxic fumes. Such agents also pose a fire
and explosion hazard.
•Only use dyes specified by the manufacturer
as being suitable for use in a domestic washing
machine. Always observe the manufacturer’s
instructions carefully.
