The first wash cycle

Once the appliance has been installed and before you
use it for the first time, run a wash cycle without 
detergent and no laundry, setting the 95˚C 
programme B without a pre-wash cycle. This will take
approximately 2 hours 30 minutes to complete.

Drainage connections

We recommend one of the following:

!

Although you may need to move the hooked end

support along the grey drainage hose, DO NOT
remove it.

!

Whichever drainage method you use, make sure that

the hooked end support is fixed level to, or above the
‘Plumbing Indicator Line’ (

see Description

).

Standpipe method:

1. Make sure the standpipe
height is a minimum 500mm from
the floor.
2. Insert the drainage hose
approximately 100mm into the
standpipe.

Under sink method:

1. Cut off the blocked end of the
under sink drainage unit.

2. Fix the hooked end support a
minimum of 800mm from the
floor.

3. Use a hose clip to securely
attach the grey drainage hose
end to the under sink drainage
unit using a hose.

Electrical connections

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 appliances 
maximum power load indicated in the Technical 
Details table (

on the right

).

the supply voltage is included within the values 
indicated in the Technical Details table (

on the right

).

the socket is compatible with the machines plug.  
If this is not the case, replace the socket or the 
plug.

!

The machine should not be installed in an outdoor

environment, not even when the area is sheltered,
because it may be very dangerous to leave it exposed
to rain and thunderstorms.
