Connecting the drain hose

Connect the drain hose,

without bending it, to a

draining duct or a wall

drain situated between

65 and 100 cm from

the floor;

alternatively, place it

over the edge of a

basin, sink or tub,

fastening the duct

supplied to the tap (see

figure). The free end of

the hose should not be

underwater.



We advise against the use of hose extensions; in

case of absolute need, the extension must have the

same diameter as the original hose and must not

exceed 150 cm in length.

Electric connection

Before plugging the appliance into the mains

socket, make sure that:

• the socket is earthed and in compliance with the

applicable law;

• the socket is able to sustain the appliance's

maximum power load indicated in the Technical

details table (on the right);

• the supply voltage is included within the values i

ndicated on the Technical details table

(on the right);

• the socket is compatible with the washing

machine's plug. If this is not the case, replace

the socket or the plug.



The washing machine should not be installed in an

outdoor environment, not even when the area is

sheltered, because it may be very dangerous to

leave it exposed to rain and thunderstorms.



When the washing machine is installed, the mains

socket must be within easy reach.



Do not use extensions or multiple sockets.



The power supply cable must never be bent or

dangerously compressed.



The power supply cable must only be replaced by

an authorised serviceman.

Warning! The company denies all liability if and when

these norms are not respected.

The first wash cycle

Once the appliance has been installed, and before

you use it for the first time, run a wash cycle with

detergent and no laundry, setting the 90°C

programme without a pre-wash cycle.
