  1. Connect the inlet hose to the tap and fix it by turning it counterclockwise.
  2. Connect the other end of the inlet hose to the inlet valve on the back of the washing machine and secure it firmly clockwise.

Please note

  • If the hose leaks after connection, repeat the process.
  • Do not bend the hose.
  • Check the inlet hose connection before every use.

Connecting the drain hose

  • The drain hose should be placed at a height of 65-100 cm above the ground, otherwise it may cause poor drainage. Fig. 12
  • You can use the drain-hose bracket supplied to connect the drain hose to the wall, drain pipe, or sink. Fig. 13
  • Make sure that all hose connections are tight.

Please note
Do not immerse the end of the drain hose in water for the washing machine to work properly.
Electric connection

  • Since the maximum current flow is 10 A when the interior temperature of the washing machine increases, make sure that the power supply system (current, supply voltage, and cord) in your home can meet the normal load requirements of electrical appliances.
  • Connect the appliance to a properly installed and earthed outlet.
  • Make sure that the household supply voltage matches the rated voltage of the washing machine.
  • Make sure the power plug matches the socket.
  • Do not use multipurpose plugs, sockets, or extension cords.
  • Do not connect or disconnect the plug with wet hands.
  • When disconnecting the plug, hold it firmly and pull it out. Do not pull the power cord out abruptly.

Warning

  1. The washing machine must be properly earthed. If a short circuit occurs, earthing can reduce the risk of electric shock.

Warnings:

  • Check whether the water inside the drum has been drained before opening its door. Do not open the door if there is still water inside the machine.
  • Do not wash one garment only, as this could destabilize the washing machine. Always

introduce at least 3 or 4 clothes so that draining can be done smoothly. For a better efficiency and water and energy save, we recommend filling two thirds of the drum with laundry.

  • The information given for programmes other than the ECO 40-60 programme are indicative only.
  • The eco 40-60 programme can clean normally soiled cotton clothes declared as washable at 40ºC or 60ºC, together in the same cycle. This programme is used to assess compliance with EU eco-design legislation.
  • The times indicated for each programme match the length with standard loads and temperatures. Other loads and temperatures will need different programme length.
  • The most efficient programmes in terms of energy consumption are generally those that are carried out at lower temperatures and longer length.
  • Load the washing machine to the quantity estimated for each programme, this will help you save energy and water.
  • The length, and energy and water consumption of each programme may vary according to the weight and type of laundry, the additional functions active, water, and ambient temperature.
  • It is recommended the use of liquid detergent for washing programmes at low temperature. You can vary the quantity of detergent according to the quantity of laundry and its soiling level. Follow the detergent manufacturer recommendations for the quantity of detergent you must use.
  • Noise and remaining moisture level depend on the spin speed. The higher the spin speed, the higher the noise and the lower the residual moisture content.
