DRAINAGE CONNECTIONS
A. Connect the drain hose, without kinking it, to a
draining duct or a wall drain fixed at a height
between 65 and 100 cm from the floor. See Fig.1.
B. Alternatively, place it over the edge of a basin, sink
or tub, fastening the hose supplied to the tap.
See Fig.1.
The free end of the hose should not be under water.
Note:
We advise against the use of hose
extensions. In case of absolute need, the extension
must have the same diameter as the original hose
and must not exceed 150 cm in length.
Under Sink Connections:
The drain hose may be connected to an under sink trap.
Before connecting the drain hose from the machine
ensure that any blanks or removable ends have been
taken off the spigot. See Fig.2.
Note:
The hose must also be raised up in a similar way
to a standpipe installation to prevent backflow of waste
water from the sink into the machine. See Fig.1.
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 supply voltage is included within the values indicated in the Specifications page.
- the socket is compatible with the washing machines plug. If this is not the case, replace the socket
or the plug.
Location
! The washing 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.
! When the washing machine is installed, the mains socket must be within easy reach.
! Do not use extensions or multiple sockets.
! The power supply cable must never be bent or dangerously compressed.
! The power supply cable must only be replaced by an authorised serviceman.
WARNING!
The company denies all liability if and when these warnings are not respected.
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 90°C programme without a pre-wash cycle.
