INSTALLING THE WASHING MACHINE
USING THE WASHING MACHINE
RECOMMENDATIONS PRIOR TO USE
Attention: Before running the machine loaded for the fi rst
time, we re-commend that you run a short washing cycle with
the machine empty.
This makes it possible to check operation of the machine and clean the
drum.
Each time you use the machine:
▼
check that all water connections are tight, the drain hose is positioned correctly
(see connection to the water supply) and the supply tap is open.
▼
make sure that your hands are dry, then insert the plug into the power sock-
et.
▼
divide the washing according to fabric type (check the labels on the clothes).
▼
check that the clothes to be washed have nothing in their pockets that might
damage the washing, the washing machine or the fi lter.

CONNECTING TO THE MAINS ELECTRICITY SUPPLY
Make sure that the voltage indicated on the identifi cation plate
attached to the inside of the fi lter door corresponds to that of the
mains supply (fi g. 9).
All cut-outs, electric wiring and mains sockets must have a rating such that ena-
bles them to support the maximum load indicated on the identifi cation plate.
Once the appliance has been installed, it must be connected to the mains supply
through a single-pole switch.
The mains supply to which the appliance is connected must be fi tted with an
earthing system. If this is not the case, the manufacturer will not be held liable
for any incidents that may occur (fi g. 10).
If the mains socket to which the appliance is connected is faulty or unsuitable,
it must be replaced by a qualifi ed electrician.
The washing machine must not be connected to the mains supply using indirect
methods such as extension leads or multiple adapters.
During maintenance work, the washing machine must be disconnected from
the mains electricity supply.
Do not insert or remove the plug from the mains socket with wet hands.
If the power supply cable is damaged in any way, contact the appropriate spe-
cialised service centre.
The plug used to connect the machine to the power supply must never be
fi xed behind the machine, but must be in a position easily accessible in an
emergency.
