 INSTALLATION

Unpacking

All transit bolts and packing must be

removed before using the appliance.

You are advised to keep all transit devices so that

they can be refitted if the machine ever has to be
transported again.
1. Using a spanner, unscrew and remove the rear
right-hand bolt and lay the machine on its
back, taking care not to squash the hoses.
This can be avoided by placing one of the
corner packing pieces between the machine
and the floor.
P0255

2. Remove the polystyrene block from the bottom

of the machine and release the two plastic
bags by removing the adhesive strip.
3. Carefully remove the right-hand bag (1) then
the left-hand bag (2) by pulling them towards 2
the centre of the machine. 1

P0234 P0233

4. Set the machine upright and remove the two

remaining bolts from the back.
5. Pull out the three plastic spacers from the
holes into which the bolts were fitted.
6. Plug the open holes with the plugs which you
will find at the back of the appliance.

P0256 P0020

Positioning
Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
Make sure that air circulation around the machine
is not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that
the machine does not touch the wall or other
kitchen units.
Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in
or out. Never place cardboard, wood or similar
materials under the machine to compensate for
any unevenness in the floor.
After having levelled the machine, tighten the lock P0254 P0509

Water inlet
Connect the water inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4"
thread after having inserted the small filter “A”
supplied with the machine.
The other end of the inlet hose which connects to
the machine can be turned in any direction.

ENGLISH
A
Simply loosen the fitting, rotate the hose and
retighten the fitting, making sure there are no
water leaks.
P0003 P0021
The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too
short and you do not wish to move the tap, you
will have to purchase a new, longer hose
specially designed for this type of use.

Water drainage
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in
three ways:
Hooked over the edge of a sink using the
plastic hose guide supplied with the machine.
In this case, make sure the end cannot come
unhooked when the machine is emptying.
This could be done by tying it to the tap with a
piece of string or attaching it to the wall.
P0022

In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must

be above the trap so that the bend is at least
60 cm above the ground.
Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less
than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm.
The end of the drain hose must always be
ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain
pipe must be larger than the outside diameter of
the drain hose.
The drain hose must not be kinked. Run it along
P0023
the floor; only the part near the drainage point
must be raised.

Electrical connection
This machine is designed to operate on a 220-
230 V, single-phase, 50 Hz supply.
Check that your domestic electrical installation
can take the maximum load required (2.25 kW),
also taking into account any other appliances in
use.
Connect the machine to an earthed socket.

The manufacturer declines any

responsibility for damage or injury
through failure to comply with the above
safety precaution.

Operating sequence
Before washing your first load of laundry, we
recommend that you run a cotton cycle at 60°C,
with the machine empty, in order to remove any
manufacturing residue from the drum and tub.
Pour half a measure of detergent into the main
wash compartment and start up the machine.

1. Place the laundry in the drum

Open the door.
Place the laundry in the drum, one item at a time,
shaking them out as much as possible.
Close the door.

P0004

2. Measure out the detergent

Pull out the dispenser drawer until it stops.
Measure out the amount of detergent
recommended by the manufacturer in a
graduated cup and pour it into the main wash
compartment . If you wish to carry out a
prewash, pour detergent into the appropriate
compartment marked .

3. Measure out the additives P0444 P0445

If required, pour fabric softener into the

compartment marked and the bleaching agent
into the compartment marked without
exceeding the «MAX» mark.

before being able to open the door to allow the
safety lock to release.
Press the start/stop button again.
Remove the laundry.
Turn the drum by hand to make sure it is
completely empty, so as to avoid any forgotten
items being damaged in a subsequent wash (e.g.
shrinking) or their colour running into a load of
whites.
Release any buttons which have been pressed.
Turn the water tap off and unplug the machine.
Leave the door ajar to air the machine.

 MAINTENANCE

1. Bodywork
Clean the outside of the machine with warm
water and a neutral, non-abrasive household
detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry with a
soft cloth.
Important: do not use methylated spirits,
solvents or similar products to clean the
bodywork.

2. Detergent dispenser drawer

After a while, detergents and fabric softeners
leave deposits in the drawer.
Clean the drawer from time to time by rinsing it
under a running tap. To remove the drawer from
the machine, press the button in the rear left-
hand corner.
To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the additive
