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 (fig. 9).
▼ The fuses, electric cables and wall socket must be rated to withstand the maxi-
mum power load indicated on the data plate.
▼ 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 (fig. 10).
▼ If the socket to which the machine will be connected is faulty or does not com-
ply with the requirements, it must be replaced by a qualified 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.

ADVICE BEFORE USING
Attention: Before running the machine loaded for the first time, we re-
commend that you run a short washing cycle with the ma-
chine 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 cor-
rectly (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 socket.
▼ 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 filter
