Once installed, packaging waste (plastic, styrofoam parts, etc.) must be
stored out of reach of children – the risk of suffocation. The appliance must
be disconnected from the power supply before any installation operation – risk
of electric shock. During installation, make sure the appliance does not

ventilation, or temperatures below 5 °C or above 35 °C.
When installing the appliance make sure that the four feet are stable and
resting on the floor, adjusting them as required, and check that the appliance

For models with hot fill: the hot water inlet temperature must not exceed 60 °C. The washing machine is fitted with transport bolts to prevent any possible damage to the interior during transport. Before using the machine, it is imperative that the transport bolts are removed. After their removal, cover the openings with the 4 enclosed plastic caps.
