Installation Transit security bars Before starting the machine up, the transport security bars must be removed as follows: You are advised to keep all the transport security bars in case the appliance has to be transported again. Unscrew and remove the three rear screws by means of a key. P0287 Lean the appliance back on the rear and fit one of the polystyrene angles between the appliance and the floor. Make sure the hoses are not squashed.
Levelling Level the appliance by loosening or tightening the feet. Once in the right position fix the feet by pushing the nuts against the base of the case.

i WASHING HINTS Sort the laundry according to the type of fabric, colour fastness and how dirty it is. Load the washing machine When washing curtains remove the hooks. Check the quantity you are going to wash for each cycle. It is essential to wash new coloured items separately when washing them for the first time. It is rather difficult to weigh all the pieces to be washed. We therefore advise you: When washing fabrics requiring different wash temperatures together , always select the lowest one.
