Installation

!

 This instruction manual should be kept in a safe 

place for future reference. If the washing machi-

ne is sold, transferred or moved, make sure that 

the instruction manual remains with the machine 

so that the new owner is able to familiarise him-

self/herself with its operation and features.

!

 Read these instructions carefully: they con-

tain vital information relating to the safe instal-

lation and operation of the appliance.

Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking

1. Remove the washing machine from its 

packaging.

2. Make sure that the washing machine has 

not been damaged during the transportation 

process. If it has been damaged, contact the 

retailer and do not proceed any further with 

the installation process.

3. Remove the 4

pro-

tective screws (used 

during transportation) 

and the rubber wa-

sher with the cor-

responding spacer, 

located on the rear 

part of the appliance 

(

see figure

).

4. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs 

provided.

5. Keep all the parts in a safe place: you will 

need them again if the washing machine ne-

eds to be moved to another location.

!

 Packaging materials should not be used as 

toys for children.

Levelling

1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy 

floor, without resting it up against walls, furni-

ture cabinets or anything else.

2. If the floor is not 

perfectly level, com-

pensate for any une-

venness by tightening 

or loosening the 

adjustable front feet 

(

see figure

); the angle 

of inclination, measu-

red in relation to the 

worktop, must not 

exceed 2°.

Levelling the machine correctly will provide 

it with stability, help to avoid vibrations and 

excessive noise and prevent it from shifting 

while it is operating. If it is placed on carpet or 

a rug, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow 

a sufficient ventilation space underneath the 

washing machine.

Connecting the electricity and 

water supplies

Connecting the water inlet hose

1. Connect the sup-

ply pipe by screwing 

it to a cold water tab 

using a ¾ gas threa-

ded connection

 (see 

figure). 

Before performing the 

connection, allow the 

water to run freely un-

til it is perfectly clear.

2. Connect the inlet 

hose to the washing 

machine by screwing 

it onto the correspon-

ding water inlet of the 

appliance, which is 

situated on the top 

right-hand side of the 

rear part of the ap-

pliance

 (see figure)

.

3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over 

or bent.

!

 The water pressure at the tap must fall within 

the values indicated in the Technical details 

table 

(see next page).

!

 If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a 

specialised shop or an authorised technician.

!

 Never use second-hand hoses.

!

 Use the ones supplied with the machine.

65 - 100 cm

Connecting the drain hose

Connect the drain 

hose, without bending 

it, to a drainage duct 

or a wall drain located 

at a height between 

65 and 100 cm from 

the floor; 

alternatively, rest it on 

the side of a washba-

sin or bathtub, faste-

ning the duct sup-

plied to the tap (

see 

figure

). The free end 

of the hose should 

not be underwater.

!

 We advise against the use of hose exten-

sions; if it is absolutely necessary, the exten-

sion 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 electri-

city 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 extreme-

ly dangerous to leave the appliance exposed 

to rain, storms and other weather conditions.

!

 When the washing machine has been instal-

led, the electricity socket must be within easy 

reach.

!

 Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.

!

 The cable should not be bent or compressed.

!

 The power supply cable must only be repla-

ced by authorised technicians.

Warning! The company shall not be held 

responsible in the event that these regulations 

are not respected.

The first wash cycle

Once the appliance has been installed, and 

before you use it for the first time, run a wash 

cycle with detergent and no laundry, using the 

wash cycle

Care and maintenance 

Cutting off the water and electri-

city supplies

• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle. 

This will limit wear on the hydraulic system 

inside the washing machine and help to pre-

vent leaks.

• Unplug the washing machine when cleaning 

it and during all maintenance work.

Cleaning the washing machine

The outer parts and rubber components of the 

appliance can be cleaned using a soft cloth 

soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use 

solvents or abrasives.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser 

drawer

Remove the dispenser 

by raising it and pul-

ling it out (

see figure

).

Wash it under running 

water; this operation 

should be repeated 

frequently.

Caring for the door and drum of 

your appliance

• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order 

to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.

Cleaning the pump

The washing machine is fitted with a self-cle-

aning pump which does not require any main-

tenance. Sometimes, small items (such as 

coins or buttons) may fall into the pre-chamber 

which protects the pump, situated in its bot-

tom part.

!

  Make sure the wash cycle has finished and 

unplug the appliance.

To access the pre-chamber:

1. using a screwdri-

ver, remove the cover 

panel on the lower 

front part of the wa-

shing machine (

see 

figure

)

;

2. unscrew the lid 

by rotating it anti-

clockwise (

see

figu-

re

)

: 

a little water may 

trickle out. This is 

perfectly normal;

3. clean the inside thoroughly;

4. screw the lid back on;

5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks 

are securely in place before you push it onto 

the appliance.

Checking the water inlet hose

Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If 

there are any cracks, it should be replaced 

immediately: during the wash cycles, water 

pressure is very strong and a cracked hose 

could easily split open.

!

 Never use second-hand hoses.
