Instructions for installation and use
Your safety and that of
your family
Important for the safe use of your washing machine
Your washer has been built in compliance with
the strictest international safety regulations. To
protect you and all your family.
Read these instructions and all
the information in this manual
carefully: they are an important
source, not only of numerous
useful tips, but also of vital
information on safety, use and
maintenance.
1. the machine should not be
installed in an outdoor
environment, not even
when a roof shelters the
area, because it may be very
dangerous to leave it
exposed to rain and
thunderstorms.
2. It must only be used by
adults and exclusively for
washing clothes following
the instructions provided in
this manual.
3. Should it have to be moved,
proceed with the help of two
or three people and handle
it with the utmost care.
Never try to do this alone,
because the appliance is
very heavy.
4. Before loading the washing
machine, make sure the
drum is empty.
5. Never touch the washing
machine when barefoot or
with wet or damp hands
or feet.
6. Never use extensions or
multiple plugs, which are
particularly dangerous in
humid environments. The
power supply cable must
never be bent or
dangerously compressed.
7. Never open the detergent
dispenser while the
appliance is functioning;
do not use hand wash
detergent because the
abundance of foam could
damage its internal parts.
How to change the power supply cable
(For this operation we suggest you contact a qualified engineer)
The washing machine
power supply cable is
special and can be purchased
exclusively from authorised
Technical Service Centres.
To replace the cable:
1. Make sure that the
machine is switched off and
unplugged.
2. Remove the covering lid by
unscrewing the two screws I, and
then pull it towards you [fig. 3].
3. Disconnect the wires from
the radio interference
suppressor
F [fig. 4] noting as
to their position (Blue=N wire;
Brown=L wire) leaving the
earth wire until last
.
N.B.: letters L, N and the
symbol
are indicated on the
radio interference suppressor.
4. Remove the upper part of the
cable slightly from the back
panel of the appliance, pull the
power supply cable upwards and
take it out [fig. 5].
To connect the new power
supply cable, reverse the pro-
cedure.
To put the covering lid back on,
rest it on the washing machine
[fig. 6] and let it slide forwards
until the hooks situated on the
front slide into the special slots
formed into the control panel
and tighten the screws back on.

8. Never pull on the supply
cable or the washing
machine to disconnect it
from the wall socket: it is
extremely dangerous.
9. While the appliance is
functioning, do not touch
the drain water as it could
reach very high
temperatures. The
appliance door, during
wash cycles, tends to
become hot; ensure that
children do no touch it.
Never force the washing
machine door because
this could damage the
safety lock which prevents
accidental opening when the
nachine is working. Allow a
few minutes at the end of the
program for the lock to
release.
10. In case of malfunctioning,
first close the water tap
and unplug the appliance
from the wall socket; do
not under any
circumstances touch
internal parts in order to
attempt repairs.
I only want an authorised
specialised technician with
