wash.
New coloured items may run in the first wash;
they should therefore be washed separately

Make sure that no metal objects are left in
the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins,
pins). Button up pillowcases, close zip
fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie any belts
or long tapes.
Remove persistent stains before washing.
Rub particularly soiled areas with a special
detergent or detergent paste.

evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will not
spin. In this case, redistribute the load manually and
select the spin programme.
Spinning starts late or the machine
does not spin:

traditional motors. This new motor ensures a softer
start and more even distribution of the laundry in the
drum when spinning, as well as increased stability of
the machine.

machine.
In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must
be above the trap so that the bend is at least
60 cm above the ground.
Attention !
Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not
less than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm. The
end of the drain hose must always be
ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain
pipe must be larger than the outside diameter
of the drain hose.
Do not place the inlet hose downwards.
Angle the hose to the left or right depending
on the position of your water tap.
3. Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring
nut. After positioning the inlet hose, be sure to
tighten the ring nut again to prevent leaks.
The drain hose must not be kinked.
4.Connect the hose to
a tap with a 3/4”
thread. Always use
the hose supplied
with the appliance.
Electrical connection
This machine is designed to operate on a 230
V, single-phase, 50 Hz supply.
Check that your domestic electrical installation
can take the maximum load required (2.2 kW),
also taking into account any other appliances
in use.
The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is
too short and you do not wish to move the tap,
you will have to purchase a new, longer hose
specially designed for this type of use.
