5. Drain hose
• Connect the drain hose to the siphon or hook it
over the edge of a sink with the "U" bend (see
"Installation"/"Connect the water drain hose").
• If the washing machine is connected to a built-in
drainage system, ensure the latter is equipped with
a vent to avoid simultaneous loading and draining of
water (siphoning effect).
6. Electrical connection
• Electrical connections must be carried out by a
qualified technician in compliance with the
manufacturer's instructions and the current
standard safety regulations.
• The technical data (voltage, power and fuses) are given
on the rating plate on the rear of the washing machine.
• The washing machine must be connected exclusively by
means of a socket with an earth connection in
accordance with current regulations. The washing
machine must be earthed by law. The manufacturer
declines all liability for injury to persons or animals or
damage to property deriving directly or indirectly from
failure to observe the directions.
• Do not use extension leads or multi sockets.
• Before any maintenance on the washing machine
disconnect it from the mains supply.
• Access to the mains plug or to disconnection from the
mains supply via a double-pole switch must be ensured
at all times following the installation.
• Do not operate the washing machine if it has been
damaged during transport. Inform the After-Sales Service.
• Mains cable replacement is only to be carried out by
After-Sales Service.
• The washing machine must be connected to an effective
earthing installation, in compliance with the regulations
in force. In particular, washing machines installed in
premises containing a shower or a bath must be
protected by a differential residual current device of at
least 30 mA. Earthing the washing machine is obligatory
under the law. The manufacturer declines all liability for
injury to persons or animals or damage to property
deriving either directly or indirectly from failure to
observe the directions in these Instructions for Use.
• The washing machine may only be used in the
household for the prescribed uses.
