Important Safety information

General information and tips

Note: FOR U.K. ONLY
On receipt of your appliance please check it carefully for damage. Any damage found must be reported to the delivery driver immediately. Alternatively damage found must be reported to the retailer within 2 days of receipt.

Risk of injury or suffocation!
Disconnect the appliance from the mains supply. Cut off the mains cable and dispose of it. Remove the door catch to prevent children and pets to get closed in the appliance.

Installation

Preparation

• Make sure there is no transport damage.
• Make sure all transport bolts are removed.
• Handle the appliance always with at least two persons because it is heavy.
• Take the appliance out of the packaging.
• Remove all packaging material including protecting fi lm on cabinet, polystyrene base, keep them out of children reach. While opening the package, water drops may be seen on plastic bag and porthole. This normal phenomenon results from water tests in the factory.

OPTIONAL: Install noise reduction pads

1. When opening the shrink package, you will find some noise reduction pads. These are used for reducing noise.
   
2. Lay the washing machine down to its side, porthole pointing upwards, bottom side towards operator.
3. Take out the noise reduction pads and remove the double-sided adhesive protective film; paste around the bottom; the noise reduction pads under the washing machine cabinet as shown in Figure 3. (two longer pads in position 1 and 3, two shorter pads in position 2 and 4). Finally set the machine upright again.
   

Dismantle the transportation bolts

The transport protection on the rear side is designed for clamping anti-vibration components inside the appliance during transportation to prevent inner damage. All elements (T1, T2,T3 and T4, Fig 2 -2) must be removed before use.

1. Remove all 4 bolts (T1 - T4).
   
2. Fill the 5 holes with blanking plugs.
   Please note: for 8kg models, please fill the 4 h oles with blanking plugs.

Note: Keep in safe place
Keep the transportation bolts in a safe place for later use. Whenever the appliance is to be moved at first reinstall the bolts.

Moving the appliance

If the machine is to be moved to a distant location, replace the transportation bolts removed before installation to prevent damage. The assembly takes place in reverse order.

Aligning the appliance

Adjust all feet (Fig. 2-4) to achieve a complete level position. This will minimize vibrations and thus noise during use. It will also reduce wear and tear. We recommend to use a spirit level for adjustment. Floor should be as stable and flat as possible.

1. Loose the locknut (1) by using a wrench.
2. Adjust the high by turning the foot (2).
3. Tighten lock ut (1) against the housing.

Drain Water Connection

Fix the water drain hose properly to the piping. The hose has to reach at one point a height between 80 and 100 cm above the appliance bottom line! If possible keep always drain hose fixed to the clip at the appliance back.

• Use only the supplied hose set for the connection.
• Never reuse old hose sets!
• Only connect to cold water supply.
• Before connection, check whether the water is clean and clear.

Following connections are possible:

1. Drain hose to sink
   • Hang the drain hose with the U-support over the edge of a sink with adequate size.
     
   • Protect the U-support sufficiently against slipping.
2. Drain hose to waste water connection
   • The internal diameter of the stand pipe with vent-hole must be minimum 40 mm.
   • Put the drain hose for approx. 80-100 mm in the wastewater pipe.
   • Attach the U-support and secure it sufficiently.
     
3. Drain hose to sink connection
   • The junction must lie above the siphon
   • A spigot connection is usually closed by a pad (A). That must be removed to prevent any dysfunction.
     
   • Secure the drain hose with a clamp.

• The drain hose should not be submerged in water and should be securely fixed and leak-free. If the drain hose is placed on the ground or if the pipe is at a height of less than 80 cm, the washing machine will continuously drain while being filled (self-siphoning).
• Drain hose is not to be extended. If necessary contact after sales service.

Fresh Water Connection

Make sure that the gaskets are inserted.

1. Connect the water inlet hose with the angled end to the appliance (Fig. 2-8). Tighten the screw joint by hand.
   
2. The other end connect to a water tap with a 3/4" thread.
   

Electrical Connection

Before each connection check if:

• power supply, socket and fusing are appropriate to the rating plate.
• the power socket is earthed and no multi-plug or extension are used.
• the power plug and socket are strictly according.
• Only UK: The UK plug meets BS1363A standard.

Put the plug into the socket.

• Ensure always that all connections (power supply, drain and fresh water hose) are fi rm, dry and leak free!
• Take care these parts are never to be crushed, kinked, or twisted
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the service agent (see warranty card) in order to avoid a hazard.

Practical hints

Load tips

When sorting laundry, make sure:

• have eliminated metallic objects such as hair clips, pins, coins, from laundry;
• to have buttoned pillow cases, closed zips, tied loose belts and long robe ribbons;
• to have removed rollers, hooks or clips from curtains;
• to have carefully read clothing washing labels;
• to have removed any persistent stains using specific detergents.

• When washing rugs, bedcovers or other heavy clothing, we recommend you avoid the spinning cycle.
• To wash wool, make sure the item can be machine washed. Check the fabric label.
• Leave the appliance's door slightly open between washes, to prevent possible bad smells developing inside the machine.

Useful advice for saving

Tips on how to save money and not damage the environment when using your appliance.

• Load the machine with suggested capacity shown in the programme table for each programme - this will allow you to SAVE energy and water.
• Noise and residual laundry moisture are affected by spin speed: a faster spin is associated with greater noise and lower residual moisture in the laundry.
• The most efficient programmes in terms of combined use of water and energy are usually the longer-lasting ones with lower temperature.
• Scan QR code on energy label for energy consumption information. The actual energy consumption may differ from the declared one according to local conditions.

Maximise the load size

• Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent and time by using the recommended maximum load size. Save up to 50% energy by washing a full load instead of 2 half loads.

Do you need to pre-wash?

• For heavily soiled laundry only!
  SAVE detergent, time, water and energy consumption by NOT selecting Prewash for slight to normally soiled laundry.

Is a hot wash required?

• Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried in stains in water before washing to, reduce the necessity of a hot wash programme. Save energy by using a low temperature wash programme.

Dosing the detergent

Below is a short guide with tips and advice on the use of detergent

• Only use detergents suitable for washing machine.
• Select your detergent according to the type of fabric (cotton, delicates, synthetics, wool, silk, etc.), the colour, the type and level of soiling and the programmed washing temperature.
• To use the right amount of detergent, softener or any other additives, carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions every time: correctly using the appliance with the right dose allow you to avoid waste and to reduce the environmental impact.

Note: Detergent
When washing heavily soiled whites, we recommend using cotton programs of 60°C or above and a normal washing powder (heavy duty) that contains bleaching agents that at medium/high temperatures provide excellent results.
For washes between 40°C and 60°C the type of detergent used needs to be appropriate for the type of fabric and level of soiling. Normal powders are suitable for "white" or colour fast fabrics with high soiling, while liquid detergents or "colour protecting" powders are suitable for coloured fabrics with light levels of soiling.
For washing at temperatures below 40°C we recommend the use of liquid detergents or detergents specifically labeled as suitable for low temperature washing.
For washing wool or silk, only use detergents specifically formulated for these fabrics.

• Too much detergent leads to excessive foam, which prevents the cycle being carried out correctly. It could also affect the quality of the washing and rinsing.

The use of ecological detergents without phosphates may cause the following effects:

• cloudier rinse drain water: This effect is tied to the suspended zeolites which do not have negative effects on rinse efficiency.
• white powder (zeolites) on laundry at the end of the wash: this is normal, the powder is not absorbed by fabric and does not change its colour. To remove the zeolites, select a rinse programme. In the future consider using slightly less detergent.
• foam in the water at last rinse: this does not necessary indicate poor rinsing. Consider using less detergent in future washes.
• abundant foam: This is often due to the anionic surfactants found in the detergents which are hard to eliminate from laundry.
  In this case, do not re-rinse to eliminate these effects: it will not help at all.
  We suggest conducting a maintenance wash using a proprietary cleaner.
  If the problem persists or if you suspect a malfunction, immediately contact an Authorised Customer Service Centre.
