your local retailer.
• Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags,
polystyrene parts, etc.) out of reach of children;
they are potentially dangerous.
2.Remove the transport bracket
• The washing machine is fitted with transport
screws and a transport bracket to prevent
damage during transport. Before using the
washing machine you must remove the
transport bracket (see “Installation/Remove
the transport bracket”).
3.Install the washing machine
• Place the washing machine on a flat and stable
floor surface.
• Adjust the feet to ensure that the machine
is stable and level (see “Installation/Adjust

water company (see “Installation/Connect the
water inlet hose”).
• Water supply:
Cold water only
• Tap:
3/4” threaded hose connection
• Pressure:
100-1000 kPa (1-10 bar).
For Great Britain & Ireland only:
• Water inlet: hot and cold fill.
The warm water inlet temperature must not
exceed 60° C.
5.Drain hose
• Connect the drain hose to the siphon or hook it
over the edge of a sink with the “U” bend (see
“Installation/Connect the water drain hose”).
• If the washing machine is connected to a built-in
drainage system, ensure the latter is equipped
with a vent to avoid simultaneous loading and
draining of water (siphoning effect).
6.Electrical connection

manufacturer’s instructions and the current
standard safety regulations.
• The technical data (voltage, power and fuses) are

from the mains supply via a double-pole switch
must be ensured at all times following the

been damaged during transport. Inform the
After-Sales Service.
• Mains cable replacement is only to be carried out
by After-Sales Service.
• The washing machine must be connected to an
effective earthing installation, in compliance with
the regulations in force. In particular, washing
machines installed in premises containing a
shower or a bath must be protected by a
differential residual current device of at least 30
mA. Earthing the washing machine is obligatory
under the law. The manufacturer declines all
liability for damage to persons or property
deriving either directly or indirectly from failure
to observe the directions above.
