! We advise against the use of hose extensions; in case

of absolute need, the extension must have the same

diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 150

cm in length.

Electric connection

Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket,

make sure that:

• the socket is earthed and in compliance with the

applicable law;

• the socket is able to sustain the appliance’s

maximum power load indicated in the Technical

details table (on the right);

• the supply voltage is included within the values i

ndicated on the Technical details table

(on the right);

• the socket is compatible with the washing

machine’s plug. If this is not the case, replace

the socket or the plug.

! The washing machine should not be installed in an ou-

tdoor environment, not even when the area is sheltered,

because it may be very dangerous to leave it exposed to

rain and thunderstorms.

! When the washing machine is installed, the mains so-

cket must be within easy reach.
