The installation must comply with relevant national regulations.

Remove all the packaging and the transit bolts including rubber bush with plastic spacer.

Keep the transit bolts in a safe place. If the appliance is to be moved in the future they must be reattached to lock the drum to prevent an internal damage.

Always take care when moving the appliance as it is heavy. Always use safety gloves and enclosed footwear.

Follow the installation instructions supplied with the appliance.

Do not install or use a damaged appliance.

Do not install or use the appliance where the temperature can be less than 0°C or where it is exposed to the weather.

The floor area on which the appliance is to be installed must be flat, stable, heat resistant and clean.

Make sure that there is air circulation between the appliance and the floor.

When the appliance is in its permanent position, check if it is levelled correctly with the aid of a spirit level. If it is not, adjust the feet accordingly.

Do not install the appliance directly above a floor drain.

Do not spray water on the appliance and do not expose it to excessive humidity.

Do not install the appliance where the appliance door cannot be fully opened.

Do not put a closed container to collect possible water leakage under the appliance.

1. Open the door. Remove all the items from the drum.

2. Put the packaging element on the floor behind the appliance and carefully put it down onto its rear side. Remove the protection from the bottom.

CAUTION! Do not lay washing machine on its front.

3. Put the appliance back into an upright position. Remove the power supply cable and the drain hose from the hose holders.

Note: It is possible to see water flowing from the drain hose. This is because the washing machine has been tested at the factory.

4. Remove the three transit bolts and pull out the plastic spacers.

5. Put the plastic caps, that you find in the user manual bag, in the holes.

We recommend that you keep the packaging and the transit bolts for any transport of the appliance.

1. Install the appliance on a flat hard floor. The appliance must be levelled and stable. Make sure that the appliance does not touch the wall or other units and there is air circulation below the appliance.

2. Loosen or tighten the feet to adjust the level. All feet must rest firmly on the floor.

WARNING! Do not put cardboard, wood or equivalent materials below the appliance feet to adjust the level.

1. Connect the water inlet hose to the back of the appliance if needed. Usually, it is already installed at the factory.

2. Position it toward left or right depending on the position of the water tap. Make sure that the inlet hose is not in vertical position.

3. If necessary, loosen the ring nut to set it in the correct position.

4. Connect the other end of the COLD water inlet hose to the cold water tap with 3/4″ thread.

WARNING! The inlet water shall not exceed 25 °C.

CAUTION! Make sure there is no damage to hoses and there are no leaks from the couplings. Do not use an extension hose if the inlet hose is too short.

The drain hose should stay at a height of no less than 60 cm and not more than 100 cm. You can extend the drain hose to maximum 400 cm.

It is possible to connect the drain hose in different ways:

1. Make sure that the drain hose makes a loop to prevent particles going into the appliance from the sink. Connect the drain hose to the spigot and tighten it with a clamp.

2. Position the hose directly to a built-in drain pipe in the room wall and tighten it with a clamp.

3. Without the plastic hose guide, to a sink spigot – Put the drain hose in the spigot and tighten it with a clamp.

4. The drain hose can be bent into U shape and put around the plastic guide. On the edge of a sink – Fasten the guide to the water tap or to the wall.

5. To a stand pipe with vent hole – Insert the drain hose directly into a drain pipe or stand pipe. The end of the drain hose must always be ventilated, i.e. the inner diameter of the drain pipe (min. 38 mm – min. 1.5″) must be larger than the external diameter of the drain hose.

SmartSelect is a feature that allows the user to select the correct washing settings based on the soil level of the fabrics. The washing temperature adapts to each SmartSelect level. There are four options:

Steam Refresh: Use this level to select the Steam Refresh programme. It reduces wrinkles and light odours and refreshes clothes that do not need a wash.

Extra Light: Recommended for very lightly soiled clothing without visible stains. Suggested temperature: 20°C.

Light: Ideal for everyday light soiled clothes with small stains (e.g., sweat). Suggested temperature: 30°C. This is the default setting for most programmes.

Normal: Recommended for normal/heavy soiled clothes (e.g., food spills or mud).

To activate an option, turn the dial to select the desired programme and tap on the related icon to change the soil level.

SmartLeaf feedback shows how energy efficient a programme is, based on energy consumption:

1. No leaf lit indicates an average consumption level.

2. One leaf icon indicates a good consumption level.

3. Two leaves icon indicates the best consumption level.
