INSTALLING THE WASHING MACHINE

CONNECTING TO THE MAINS ELECTRICITY SUPPLY

Make sure that the voltage indicated on the identification plate
attached to the inside of the filter door corresponds to that of the
mains supply (fig. 12).
All cut-outs, electric wiring and mains sockets must have a rating such that
enables them to support the maximum load indicated on the identification plate.
Once the appliance has been installed, it must be connected to the mains supply
through a single-pole switch.
The mains supply to which the appliance is connected must be fitted with an
earthing system. If this is not the case, the manufacturer will not be held liable
for any incidents that may occur (fig. 13).
If the mains socket to which the appliance is connected is faulty or unsuitable,
it must be replaced by a qualified electrician.
The washing machine must not be connected to the mains supply using indirect
methods such as extension leads or multiple adapters.
During maintenance work, the washing machine must be disconnected from
the mains electricity supply.
Do not insert or remove the plug from the mains socket with wet hands.
If the power supply cable is damaged in any way, contact the appropriate spe-
cialised service centre.
The plug used to connect the machine to the power supply must never be fixed
behind the machine, but must be in a position easily accessible in an emergency.

RECOMMENDATIONS PRIOR TO USE

Warning: Before carrying out the first wash, allow the washing
machine to effect a short wash cycle without any washing.
This will allow the operation of the washing machine to be checked
and will clean the drum.
Before each wash make sure that:
the water connections are correct, the drain hose is properly positioned (see
▼
connecting to the water supply) and that the water supply valve is open.
with dry hands, insert the plug in the mains socket.
▼
sort the wash into types of fabric (refer to clothing care symbols).
▼
check that there are no objects left in any of the pockets of the items to wash,
▼
as these may damage the washing, the appliance or the filter.
