If the appliance is not connected to the electrical power supply by means of a plug, it is necessary to
install an isolation switch with a contact opening gap of at least 3 mm.
The plug on the power cord and the corresponding socket must be of the same type and must conform
to the regulations in force. Check that the voltage and frequency of the electrical power supply match
the ratings on the name plate. Avoid using adaptors or shunt connections. Never unplug the appliance

The appliance must always be connected to the water supply with new hoses (supplied with the appli-
ance). Old hoses must never be reused.
Make sure the appliance does not lie on the power cord.
Before use, make sure the tub assembly has been released (see instructions).
If the tub assembly has not been released, it may damage the appliance or adjacent furniture or appli-
ances during the spin cycle.
The washing machine must never be used in vehicles, on ships or planes, or in special environmental
conditions such as explosive or corrosive (powder, vapour and gas) atmospheres or near explosive
and/or corrosive liquids.
Do not install the washing machine in areas subject to frosting. Frozen pipes may burst under pres-
sure.

Before loading garments for washing, make sure the pockets are empty, the buttons securely fixed and
the zips closed.
Do not wash frayed or torn garments.
The glass of the door will heat up considerably when washing at elevated temperatures.

1. Check that inlet pressure lies between the following values: N3D. For higher
pressures, install a pressure reducer.
2. Connect the FROGZDWHU inlet hose (OLJKWEOXH ring nut) to the cold water tap with a
¾ gas thread, taking care to screw it firmly into place in order to prevent leaks. The
water inlet hose must not be bent or crushed and must not be replaced or cut.
3. If a KRWZDWHU inlet is used, inlet water temperature must not exceed 60°C and the
hose with the UHG ring nut must be connected to the hot water tap.
$WWHQWLRQ
•If the water pipe is new or has not been used for a long time, let a certain amount of water run before attach-
ing the inlet hose. This stops any deposits of sand and other impurities from clogging the filters used by the
machine to protect the water inlet valves.
•The new hose-set supplied with the appliance are to be used and the old hose-set should not be reused

1. Insert the end of the drain hose into a drain pipe having an internal diameter of at least 4 cm and a height
ranging between 50 and 90 cm, or attach it (using the relative curved plastic profile) to a basin or bath tub.
2. Always check that the end of the drain hose is securely attached in order to prevent the repulsive force of
the water from moving it out of position.
$WWHQWLRQ
•Do not bend or obstruct the hose as this will reduce the flow of water.
•Any extensions to the drain hose must not exceed 1 metre, they must have the same internal diameter and
must not be obstructed in any way.
•In no case may the end of the drain hose be submerged in water.
