WARNINGS
It is most important that this instruction booklet be
retained with the appliance for future reference. If
the appliance is sold or transferred to another
owner, or if you move house and leave the
appliance, always ensure that the booklet is
supplied so that the new owner can become
acquainted with the operation procedures and
warnings.
These warnings are provided in the interest of
safety. They must be read carefully before installing
or using the appliance.
@ This appliance is designed to be operated by

with the controls or play with the machine.
m It is dangerous to alter the specifications or
attempt to modify the appliance in any way.
m Any electrical work required to install the
appliance should be carried out by a qualified
electrician or competent person.
m Any plumbing work required to install the
appliance should be carried out by a qualified
plumber or competent person.
@ This product should be serviced by an authorized
Service Centre, and only genuine spare parts

@ Before selecting a programme or changing an
ongoing programme the machine must be
switched off by depressing the ON/OFF push-
button.
m Always unplug the appliance and turn off the

Only wash fabrics which are designed to be
machine washed. If in doubt, consult the
manufacturer of the item.
Before washing, ensure that all pockets are
empty and buttons and zips fastened. Avoid
washing frayed or torn articles and treat stains
such as paint, ink, rust and grass before
washing. Underwired bras must not be machine
washed.
Any objects such as coins, safety pins, nails,
screws, stones or any other hard sharp material
can cause extensive damage and must not be
placed in the appliance.
Garments saturated with petroleum products
should not be machine washed. If volatile
cleaning fluids are used, care should be taken
to ensure that the fluid is removed from the
garment before placing it in the machine.
Wash small items such as socks, laces,
washable belts etc. in a washing bag or pillow
case as they may slip down between the tub and
the inner drum.
Only use the recommended quantities of fabric
softener. Fabrics can be damaged if you over-fill.
Refer to the manufacturer’s quantity
recommendations.
Pets have been known to climb into washing
machines. Please check the drum before use.
Under no circumstances should you attempt to
repair the machine yourself. Repairs carried out
by inexperienced persons may cause injury or
more serious malfunctioning. Contact your local
Service Centre. Always insist on genuine spare
parts.

Carefully
lay
the
machine
on
its
back
making
sure
that
the
hoses
are
not
squashed.
Carefully
remove
the
polythene
bag
(on
the
right)
by
pulling
it
towards
the
centre
of
the
machine.
The left polythene bag can now also be removed
from the machine.

Set the machine upright and remove the remaining
two screws on the back.
Plug the holes with the plugs which you can find
on the back of the machine.
Positioning
Position the machine on a firm level surface. Rein-
force wooden floors with a solid wood 5 cm thick
panel or at least two boards. The supporting panel
must protrude a few centimetres beyond the edge
of the machine.
The machine must not touch the wall or other fur-
niture.
It is assumed that the tap, drainage point and soc-
ket are within easy reach of the machine hoses and
power supply cable. If not, you are advised to call
your fitter in order to move the tap and/or drainage
point and/or socket.
Water inlet
Fit the rubber seal and connect the water inlet ho-
se to a tap with a *%”’ gas thread spout.
M7? L |
P0003
Although the machine is provided with its own ae-
rator, your local water board may require the ma-
chine to be connected to a ventilated tap.
lf you know that the mains water supply pressure
~is often very high, fit a 3%4” 23x4x4 mm reducer at
the joint between the water inlet hose and the wa-
shing machine.
The inlet hose must not be extended. If it is too
short and you do not wish to move the tap, replace
it completely with a longer high pressure hose spe-
cifically designed to solve problems of this type.
The other end of the inlet hose connected to the ma-
chine can be turned in any direction. Simply loosen
the fitting, rotate the hose and retighten.

Water drainage
The
end
of
the
drain
hose
can
be
positioned
in
three
ways:

of
a
basin:
in

case
you
must
en-
sure
that
the
hose
cannot
move
when
the
water
is
drained.
Secure
it
to
the
wall
with
a
hook,
for
exam-
ple,
or
to
the
tap
by
means
of
a
piece
of

must

so
that
the
end
of
the
hose
is
at
least
60
cm
from

level.
Directly
in
a
drainpipe:
you
are
advised
to
use
a
ver-
tical

high
pipe;
in
any
case
it
should
never
be
shorter
than
60
cm
or
longer
than
90
cm.
The
end
part
of
the
drain
hose
must
always
be
ven-
tilated,
i.e.
the
internal
diameter
of
the
pipe
must
be
wider
than
the
external
diameter
of
the
drain
hose.
The
drain
hose
can
be
extended
up
to
a
maximum
length
of
180
cm.
Use
an
extension
with
an
inter-
nal
diameter
at
least
equal
to
the
diameter
of
the
original
hose
and
a
suitable
fitting.
The
hose
exten-
sion
will
run
along
the
floor
and
only
the
part
near
the
drainage
point
will
be
raised.
Electrical connection
Check
on
the
rating
plate
(inside
the
loading
door)
that
the
machine
is
designed
for
a
220-230V
/
S5OHz
power
supply.
The
plug
must
be
connected
to
a
socket
(connec-
ted
up
to
the
mains
and
in
full
working
order)
with
earth
-
the
machine
must
be
earthed.
The
connection
cable
cannot
be
extended.
If
it
is
too
short,
ask
your
fitter
to
replace
it
with
a
longer
cable
or
move
the
socket.
Extensions
or
three-way
adapters
must
not
be
used.
In
bathrooms
or
showers
a
"fixed
connection”
is
necessary
-
consult
your
fitter.
The
manufacturer
is
not
liable
for
damages
or
inju-
ry
caused
by
failure
to
observe
the
above
safety
pre-
cautions.
Levelling
Position
the
appliance
and
level
it
by
tightening
or
loosening
one
or
two
of
the
adjustable
feet.
Ensu-
re
that
the
machine
is
resting
securely
with
all
four
feet
on
the
ground:
this
is
even
more
important
than
perfect
levelling.
Once
the
machine
has
been
level-
led,
tighten
up
the
lock
nuts
on
all
four
feet.
