! We advise against the use of hose extensions; if it is

absolutely necessary, the extension must have the same

diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 150 cm

in length.

Electrical connections

Before plugging the appliance into the electricity socket,

make sure that:

• the socket is earthed and complies with all applicable

laws;

• the socket is able to withstand the maximum power

load of the appliance as indicated in the Technical data

table (see opposite);

• the power supply voltage falls within the values

indicated in the Technical data table (see opposite);

• the socket is compatible with the plug of the washing

machine. If this is not the case, replace the socket or the

plug.

! The washing machine must not be installed outdoors,

even in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave

the appliance exposed to rain, storms and other weather

conditions.

! When the washing machine has been installed, the

electricity socket must remain within easy reach.

! Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.
