gloves to unpack and install – risk of cuts.
The washing machine must be installed and
operated in a room with a drain.
Installation, including water supply (if any) and
electrical connections and repairs must be carried
out by a qualified technician. Keep children away
from the installation site. After unpacking the
appliance, make sure that it has not been damaged
during transport. In the event of problems, contact
the dealer or your nearest After-Sales Service. Once
installed, packaging waste (plastic, Styrofoam parts
etc.) must be stored out of reach of children – risk
of suffocation. The appliance must be disconnected
from the power supply before any installation
operation – risk of electric shock. During installation,
make sure the appliance does not damage the
power cable – risk of fire or electric shock. Only
operate the appliance when the installation has
been completed.
Do not install your appliance where it may be
exposed to extreme conditions, such as: poor
ventilation, temperatures below 5 ℃ or above
35℃.
Do not expose the washing machine in the place
with causticity or explosibility gas.(e.g. dust, steam
and gas, etc.)
Do not install the washing machine in a bathroom
or a room very wet.
The washing machine should not be installed in an
outdoor environment, not even where the area is
sheltered, because it may be very dangerous to
leave it exposed to damp, rain and thunderstorms.
When installing the appliance make sure that the
four feet are stable and resting on the floor,
adjusting them as required, and check that the
appliance is perfectly to level using a spirit level.
The appliance must not be installed behind a
lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge

of your washing machine (if available on your model)
are not obstructed by a carpet or other material.
When moving, do not lift the washing machine by
the knobs or detergent drawer, without lifting it by
the worktop or top lid; during transport, never rest
the door on the trolley.
The washing machine is fitted with transport bolts
to prevent 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.
Connect the water inlet hose(s) to the water supply
in accordance with the regulations of your local
water company.
Use only the new hose-sets supplied with the
