The First Wash Cycle; Technical Data - Hotpoint Ariston WMD 823 Instructions For Use Manual

Connecting the drain hose
!
We advise against the use of hose extensions; if it is
absolutely necessary, the extension must have the same
diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 150 cm
in length.
Electrical connections
Before plugging the appliance into the electricity socket,
make sure that:
• the socket is earthed and complies with all applicable
laws;
• the socket is able to withstand the maximum power load
of the appliance as indicated on the Technical Data Plate
fixed on the machine;
• the power supply voltage falls within the values indicated
on the Technical Data Plate fixed on the machine;
• the socket is compatible with the plug of the washing
machine. If this is not the case, replace the socket or the
plug.
!
The washing machine must not be installed outdoors,
even in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave
the appliance exposed to rain, storms and other weather
conditions.
!
When the washing machine has been installed, the elec-
tricity socket must be within easy reach.
Connect the drain hose,
without bending it, to a drai-
nage duct or a wall drain
located at a height between
65 and 100 cm from the
floor;
alternatively, rest it on
the side of a washbasin
or bathtub, fastening the
duct supplied to the tap
(see figure). The free end
of the hose should not be
underwater.
!
Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.
!
The cable should not be bent or compressed.
!
The power supply cable must only be replaced by autho-
rised technicians.
Warning! The company shall not be held responsible in the
event that these regulations are not respected.

Once the appliance has been installed, and before you use
it for the first time, run a wash cycle with detergent and no
laundry, using the wash cycle "Auto Clean" (see "Cleaning
