INSTALLING THE WASHING MACHINE
USING THE WASHING MACHINE
RECOMMENDATIONS PRIOR TO USE
Warning: Before carrying out the f rst wash, allow the washing
machine to effect a short wash cycle without any washing.
This will allow the operation of the washing machine to be checked
and will clean the drum.
Before each wash make sure that:
the water connections are correct, the drain hose is properly positioned (see
connecting to the water supply) and that the water supply valve is open.
with dry hands, insert the plug in the mains socket.
sort the wash into types of fabric (refer to clothing care symbols).
check that there are no objects left in any of the pockets of the items to wash,
as these may damage the washing, the appliance or the fi lter.

Once the appliance has been installed, it must be connected to the mains supply

it must be replaced by a qualifi ed electrician.
The washing machine must not be connected to the mains supply using indirect

During maintenance work, the washing machine must be disconnected from
the mains electricity supply.
Do not insert or remove the plug from the mains socket with wet hands.
If the power supply cable is damaged in any way, contact the appropriate spe-

The plug used to connect the machine to the power supply must never be
