).
Do not use extension leads or adapters to connect the washing machine.
The electrical installation must be suitably dimensioned for the maximum power
indicated on the reference plate and the plug must have the regulatory earth
connection.
If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by after-sales service or
similarly
personnel so as to avoid any hazards.
Do not interfere with the inside of the washing machine. If you have any problems
you cannot solve yourself, call the technical service.

Installation
1.1 Unpacking (1.1.1, 1.1.2 and 1.1.3). Remove the bolts
and the
and blocking elements used for transport.
1.2 Connection to the mains water (1.2.1, 1.2.2 and
1.2.3). If the washing machine has a hot water
intake, connect the hose with a red connector to the
hot water intake (1.2.4). Always use the new hose
supplied, removing any previously used hoses.
1.3 Drain. Place the hose in the drain in accordance with
the measurements shown on the drawing.
1.4 Levelling. Correctly level the washing machine to
prevent any noise or shifting. The recommended
procedure is as follows: 1. Position the rear legs and
them in place (1.4.1); 2. Place the washing machine
in its
location (1.4.2); 3. Position the front legs and
them in place (1.4.3).
1.5 Electrical connection. Take the electrical data on the
reference plate into account.
1.6 IInstallation under a worktop. If you need to remove
the worktop to recess-mount the washing machine,
contact your dealer or the Technical Assistance
Service.
2.1 Opening the loading door.
2.2 Detergent and additives. Sort items by colour, soil and
fabric type before loading the washing machine.
The detergent drawer has the following compartments:
wash
, prewash and fabric softener (2.2.1).
All the washing machines are designed to use detergent
powder (2.2.2).
If you wish to use liquid detergent (2.2.3), you will see a
blue tab for this purpose in the wash compartment. Pull it
outwards as far as it will go, then release it. It will remain in
vertical position (2.2.4), this will prevent the liquid detergent
from running out. To use powder detergent again, place
the blue tab in horizontal position and push it back as far
as it will go to open the
(2.2.5).
Remember you must not exceed the MAX level marked
on the fabric softener compartment.
2.3 Switching on the washing machine and selecting a
programme. Select the programme using the dial, after
consulting the programme chart (pages 3 and 4).
2.4
Selecting the spin speed
.
You may choose a spin
drying speed (2.4.1 and 2.4.2) or cancel out spin drying
(2.4.3). If you select Rinse hold (2.4.4) the wash
process will pause before the
spin and the clothes
will be left submerged in water. Press “start/stop”
button to run the
spin dry.
For recess-mounted washing machines, the electrical
plug must be accessible after installation.
