BEFORE USING THE WASHING MACHINE
1. Removing the packaging and inspection
• After unpacking, make sure that the washing
machine is undamaged. If in doubt, do not use the
washing machine. Contact After-Sales Service or
your local retailer.
• Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags,
polystyrene parts, etc.) out of reach of children,
as they are potentially dangerous.
• If the appliance was exposed to the cold prior to
delivery, keep it at room temperature for a few
hours before operating.
2. Remove the transport bolts
• The washing machine is fitted with transport
bolts to avoid any possible damage to the interior
during transport. Before using the machine, it is
imperative that the transport bolts are removed.
• After their removal, cover the openings with the
4 enclosed plastic caps.
3. Install the washing machine
• Remove the protective film from the control panel
(if available on your model).
• Move the appliance without lifting it by the worktop.
• Install the appliance on a solid and level floor
surface, preferably in a corner of the room.
• Make sure that all four feet are stable and resting
on the floor and then check that the washing
machine is perfectly level (use a spirit level).
• In case of wooden or so-called "floating floors"
(for instance certain parquet or laminate floors),
place the appliance on a sheet of plywood at least
60 x 60 cm wide/deep and at least 3 cm thick
which is secured to the floor.
• Make sure that the ventilation openings in the base
of your washing machine (if available on your
model) are not obstructed by a carpet or other
material.
4. Water inlet
• Connect the water inlet hose(s) to the drinking
water supply in accordance with the regulations
of your local water company.
• For models with one inlet valve: cold water
• For models with two inlet valves: cold AND hot
water, or cold water only (see chapter "Installation
Guide").
• Water tap: 3/4" threaded hose connector
• Water pressure (flow pressure): 100-1000 kPa
(1-10 bar).
• Use only new hoses to connect the washing
machine to the water supply. Used hoses must
not be used and should be discarded.
• For models with hot fill: the hot water inlet
temperature must not exceed 60°C.
5. Drain
• Firmly connect the drain hose to the siphon, or
another outlet for drain water.
• If the washing machine is connected to an
integrated drainage system, ensure the latter is
equipped with a vent to avoid simultaneous
loading and draining of water (siphoning effect).
6. Electrical connection
• Electrical connections must be carried out by a
qualified technician in compliance with the manu-
facturer's instructions and current standard safety
regulations.
• Data regarding voltage, power consumption
andprotection requirements is given on the inside
of the door.
• The appliance must be connected to the mains
by means of a socket with an earth connection in
accordance with current regulations. The washing
machine must be earthed by law. The manufac-
turer declines all liability for damage to property or
injury to persons or animals due to non-compliance
with the directions given above.
• Do not use extension leads or multiple sockets.
• Access to the mains plug or disconnection from
the mains supply via a double-pole switch must be
ensured at all times after the installation.
• Do not operate the washing machine if it has been
damaged during transport. Inform the After-Sales
Service.
• Mains cable replacement is only to be carried out
by After-Sales Service.
• When using a residual current circuit breaker
(RCCB), only use a model marked with
GB 3
