Levelling the machine
• Place the machine on solid, dry and level ground.
• First check if the legs are closely attached to the cabinet. If not, please turn them
to their original positions and tighten the nuts with a spanner.
• 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 (Fig. 4).
• To find out which leg needs to be adjusted,
press the four corners of the top cover in
sequence. If the washing machine is not
stable when being pressed, this leg needs to
be adjusted.
• Loosen the lock nut with a spanner and turn
the leg by hand until it makes close contact

• Turn the lock nut clockwise to raise the leg
and anticlockwise to lower it (Fig. 5-2, 5-3).
• To lock the foot, hold the leg with one hand
and fasten the nut closely to the cabinet with
the other.
• Use the same steps to shorten or lengthen
any other leg that needs adjusting.
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 - this appliance must be earthed!
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, earthing will reduce the risk of an
electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-earthing conductor
and an earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is
installed and earthed in accordance with all local standards and requirements.
Do not modify the plug under any circumstances. If the plug does not fit your
outlet, consult a licensed electrician and have the outlet changed.

Before first use
Before using the washing machine for the first time, review the following important
points and make sure that:
• All transit bolts are removed.
• The washer is stable and level. If necessary, adjust the levelling legs to stabilise the
washer (see page 12).
• The water supply hose is properly installed (see page 13).
• The power plug is firmly inserted into a nearby power point and power is switched
on to the outlet.
• The water tap is open.
• The drain hose is properly installed and secured into the laundry sink or into a drain
spout (see page 14).
• Before using the washing machine for the first time, run a complete cycle
(without laundry items and detergent), following the instructions on page 25 and
run the machine until the end of the program.
Detergent recommendations
• Only use low-sudsing detergent and clothing care preparations that are
suitable for use in a front load washing machine, or in a top and front load
machine. Detergents for top load machines are unsuitable because they tend to
produce too much suds, which may cause overflowing from the detergent drawer.
• Amount: Use detergent in the amounts
recommended on the detergent packaging.
Dosage depends on your amount of washing,
the degree of soiling, water hardness and
the washing performance of your detergent.
Using too little detergent will give poor
washing results, but too much will affect rinse
performance and may cause overflow of suds,
which could interfere with machine operation.
Do not overfill detergent!
• Pull out the detergent dispenser (Fig. 16) and
add detergent as follows:
WARNING!
• Do not use flammable and explosive or toxic solvents, petrol, alcohol or other
chemicals in the machine.
• Keep detergents and clothing care preparations out of reach of children.

The middle compartment is for fabric softener. It will be dispersed through the
washing during the last rinse cycle. Concentrated fabric softeners should be
diluted as required.
The compartment on the left is for low-sudsing detergent for the main wash.
If using a liquid detergent, make sure the dam board is in place (Fig. 17). For
powdered detergent, push the dam board back until it clicks into place on the
side (Fig. 18).
If you want to use bleach in your wash, it must be diluted according to the
instructions on the bottle. Never pour bleach directly onto the washing, as this
can cause stains or fading of coloured garments.
The compartment on the right is for prewash detergent. Add prewash detergent if
you have added a prewash cycle. See Table 1, below, for our recommendations.
