Electrical connection
Before you plug the appliance into the wall socket, make sure that :
• The supply voltage of the domestic wiring system
does not fluctuate by more than 10% plus or minus
from the value shown on the rating plate.
• The meter, the fuses, the supply line and the wall
socket are all suitable to carry the maximum load
required by the washing machine (2,2 kW).
The existing safety rules call for the appliance to be
connected to an efficient ground wire.
The manufacturer disclaims any liability whatsoever if
this accident prevention rule is not complied with.
This appliance complies with E.E.C. directive n° 87-308
of 06.1987 relative to radio interference suppression
and with E.E.C. directive n° 73-23 relative to electrical
safety.
Water connection
• The end of the water inlet hose must be connected to a cold water tap having 3/4" gas thread
spout or to a water tap having a quick-coupling connector after having introduced in the hose
ring nut a rubber sealing washer also provided with the machine.
• The curved end of the outlet hose should be inserted into a drain pipe not less than 70 cm and
not more than 1,0 m from floor level.
Make sure that the drain hose is always safely secured so that it will not become loose or fall
down from its position.
The water should drain freely and consequently, the drain hose should not be chocked or
placed in such a way as to obstruct the normal water flow.
If an extension is required, remember that it might cause a malfunction in the drain pump,
particularly if the extension has a length in excess of 1 meter or if the diameter of the extension
is smaller than the diameter of the original drain hose.

Fig. 2
Clean regularly the filter located at
the front bottom behind a small
flapdoor. If you wash laundry with a
lot of fluffs, clean it at each wash. Pull
down the drain hose above a
receptacle put on the floor in order
to empty completely the washing
machine, then :
- open the flapdoor covering the filter by pressing the left hand side of the filter door
(fig. 1 & 2). Place a container underneath to catch any spillage. According to the models,
complete the draining of the appliance by taking away the yellow cap and by extracting the
little hose located on the left of the filter (fig. 3).
- turn the filter anticlockwise and clean it thoroughly with running water.
- refit the filter in the guides and turn it clockwise.
- refit the little hose and the yellow cap, then close the flapdoor.
Level the appliance very
carefully by adjusting the le-
velling feet located at the
front of the base. Then tigh-
ten the lock nuts at the top of
the feet, using a spanner.
To enable the appliance
to be moved with ease,
it is provided with two
fixed wheels located at
the rear of the base.
