INSTALLING THE MACHINE
CONNECTING TO THE POWER SUPPLY
▼ Check that the voltage indicated on the technical data plate on the back of the
washing machine is the same as that of the mains power supply (fi g. 9).
▼ The fuses, electric cables and wall socket must be rated to withstand the
maximum power load indicated on the data plate.
▼ On completion of the installation, the appliance must be connected to the mains
supply through a two-pole switch.
▼ The power supply socket into which the washing machine will be plugged must
be earthed. Otherwise, the manufacturer will not be held responsible for any
accidents (fi g. 10).
▼ If the socket to which the machine will be connected is faulty or does not comply
with the requirements, it must be replaced by a qualifi ed electrician.
▼ The washing machine must not be connected to the electricity supply using
extension leads or multi-plug adapters.
▼ During maintenance the washing machine must be unplugged from the power
supply socket.
▼ Do not plug-in or unplug the machine with wet hands.
▼ If the power cable is damaged in any way, contact the specialised technical
service centre.
▼ Position the appliance so that the power supply cable can be accessed with
ease, enabling it to be disconnected when required.

USING THE MACHINE
ADVICE BEFORE USING
Attention: Before running the machine loaded for the fi rst time, we
re-commend that you run a short washing cycle with the
machine empty.
This makes it possible to check operation of the machine and clean the
drum.
Each time you use the machine:
▼ check that all water connections are tight, the drain hose is positioned correctly
(see connection to the water supply) and the supply tap is open.
▼ make sure that your hands are dry, then insert the plug into the power sock-
et.
▼ divide the washing according to fabric type (check the labels on the clothes).
▼ check that the clothes to be washed have nothing in their pockets that might
damage the washing, the washing machine or the fi lter
