Preparing your washing
Connecting your machine
Failure to observe the following advice
can cause severe and even irremediable
damage (damage to the drum, torn
washing, etc.) and rescinds the guarantee.
Sorting your washing
•Ensure that all your washing is machine-
washable: check the labels on your washing
(type, temperature, type of cleaning, etc.).
•Ensure that your coloureds do not run.
•When washing a mixed load, use the
washing programme for the most delicate
textiles in the mix.
Checking your washing
•Empty the pockets and close any zips and
press-studs.
•Remove any curtain hooks or place your
curtains and any small items of laundry
(ribbons, handkerchiefs, etc.) in a net bag.
Button up pillowcases, etc.
•Remove any poorly attached buttons, pins
and hooks.
Setting on castors, moving
To move your machine, unclip and slide the
castor release handle from right to left.
Your machine must not still be on its
castors when in operation.
Check that it is plumb and stable to avoid
vibration during spinning.
Levelling
Fig. 4
➀ ➁
- Set your machine on its castors.
- Unscrew the two screws with a straight-
edged screwdriver.
- Level the machine by adjusting the two feet
using a flat spanner or a pair of pliers.
- Set the machine back on the floor by sliding
the castor release lever to check the
chocking.
- If the machine is correctly level, retighten the
two locking screws.
To align your machine with your units, you can
break off the fixing hooks for the hoses.
Take care not to squash the hoses!
If you cannot avoid installing the machine on a
carpeted floor, adjust the feet so as to leave a
large gap for ventilation.
Moving and levelling
Connecting to the cold water supply
(Fig. 3)
Your washing machine can be connected to
any cold water pipe. Connect the supply hose
provided to a threaded 20x27 Ø tap (3/4 BSP)
not forgetting to insert the seal supplied
(depending on the model, the hose may
already be fitted with a seal).
Water pressure may vary from 10 to 100
N/cm
2 (1 – 10 bars).
Draining away the waste water
(Fig. 3)
NB: Ensure that the drain hose is tied firmly in
place with cord, etc. to avoid a possible flood.
In all cases, the height of the drain hose
bracket must be between 0.80m minimum and
1.10m maximum above the floor. The hose
must be fastened to avoid it breaking and its
opening must be above the surface of the
water being drained away.
Connecting to the electrical supply
(Fig. 3)
Please refer to the «Characteristics» section.
The socket must be easily accessible but out
of children’s reach.
The installation must conform to the country’s
regulations, in particular as regards earthing
requirements and installation in shower-
rooms. The machine must be earthed.
Never use an extension lead or a multiple
adapter for connecting to the socket.
* We cannot be held responsible for any
incident caused by poor earthing of the
machine or poor electrical installation.
The machine must be switched off (in the
«Stop» position) when connecting to the
electrical supply.
Replacing the power cable:
For your safety, the power cable and,
depending on the model, the complete
electric box and its associated cable must
only be replaced by the manufacturer’s After-
Sales Service or a qualified electrician.
