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 60 x 60 cm sheet of
plywood at least 3 cm in thickness 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 hot fill: the hot water inlet
temperature must not exceed 60°C.
5.Drain
•
Connect the drain hose to the siphon or hook it
over the edge of a sink by means of the “U” bend
supplied.

If the washing machine is connected to an
integrated drainage system, ensure the latter is
