Connect the water inlet hose as described under the paragraph “Water 
inlet”.
Where to install
Important! The appliance must not be used in a room where there is a 
danger of frost. Frost damage or impaired operation! Frost damage is 
not covered by the warranty.
 The surface on which the appliance is  to be installed must be firm 
and level. Do not install the applianc e on carpets or on soft floor cov-
erings.
 The surface on which the appliance is  to be installed must be clean 
and dry and free from coverings that move, so that the appliance 
does not slide.
 If the location in which the applianc e is to be installed is fitted with 
small-format tiles, put a rubber ma t (available in the shops) under 
the appliance.
Making the appliance level
3Automatic foot:  The rear foot on the left-h and side of your washing 
machine is built as a shock absorbin g foot, which is why the appliance 
gives in the back left-hand corner if  put under load. The automatic foot 
guarantees that the appliance does no t move even at high spin speeds. 
Basically the automatic foot does not need to be set.
The four feet of the appliance are 
pre-adjusted. 
Large degrees of unevenness can be 
compensated for by individually ad-
justing the height adjustable screw 
feet. 
Use the special spanner supplied to 
do this. 
Important!  Do not use pieces of 
wood, cardboard or such like to lev-
el out unevenness in the floor, but 
adjust the height adjustable screw 
feet instead.

Electrical connection
Details about the voltage, type of supply and the fuses required are to 
be found on the rating plate. The rating plate is next to the doorway.
Connecting to the water supply
Permitted water pressure
The water pressure must be at least 0.5 bar (= 5 N/cm2=0.05MPa) and 
may be a maximum of 10 bar (= 100 N/cm2=1MPa). 
– If more than 10 bar: Connect a pressure reduction valve. 
– If less than 0.5 bar: Disconnect th e appliance end of the inlet hose 
from the solenoid inlet valve and remove the flow meter. (In addition 
remove the filter using pointed plie rs and take out the rubber gasket 
behind it.) Re-insert the filter.
Water inlet
Attention!
 An inlet hose is supplied and can be found inside the machine drum.
 Do not use already employed  hoses for water connection. 
 This appliance must be connec ted to a cold water supply.
1. Open the porthole and extract the inlet hose.
2. Connect the hose with the angled 
connection to the machine.
Important!
Do not place the inlet hose down-
wards. 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.
 
						

							
43
4.Connect the hose to a tap with a 
3/4” thread. 
Always use the hose supplied with 
the appliance. 
Installation should comply with local 
water authority an d building regula-
tions’ requirements.
A minimum water pressure of 0.05 
MPa (0.5 bar) is required for safe op-
eration of the appliance.
If you cannot make the cold water 
connection direct from the rising  mains, you may be able to operate 
the appliance from your cold water storage system. 
There should be a minimum distance of 5.02m (16.5 ft) between the 
appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the water storage tank.
Aqua Control
The inlet hose is provided with a wa-
ter stop device, which protects 
against damage caused by water 
leaks in the hose which could devel-
op due to natural ageing of the 
hose. This fault is shown by a red 
sector in the window „ A”. Should this 
occur, turn the water tap off and re-
fer to your Service Centre to replace 
the hose.
 
						

							
44
Water drainage
The maximum permitted difference between the height of the surface 
on which the appliance is installe d and the water outlet is 1 metre.
Only original hoses may be used to  extend hoses. (A maximum of 3 m 
laid on the floor and then 80 cm ve rtically). The Customer Care Depart-
ment stocks outlet hoses of different lengths.
Draining water into a sink outlet
Secure the outlet/s ink outlet joint 
with a hose band clip (available from 
your dealer). 
Draining water into a wash basin/bath
1Important!  
– Small basins are not suitable. Wa-
ter may overflow. 
– The end of the drain hose must 
not be in the water that has been 
pumped out. Otherwise water 
could be sucked back into the ap-
pliance.
– When draining into a wash basin 
or a bath, secure the drain hose 
with the supplied elbow to stop it 
slipping. Otherwise the water run-
ning out can force the hose out of 
the basin. 
– When pumping the water out, 
check that the water is running 
away fast enough.
Pumping heights over 1 m
The washing machine’s drain pump is ab le to pump water to a height of 
1 meter, calculated from the surface on  which the appliance is installed. 
Warning!  If pumping height is over 1  metre, malfunctions and damage 
to the appliance may arise.
For pumping heights over 1 metre a conversion kit can be obtained. 
Please contact the Customer Care Department.

duced as a result. 
This declaration of guarantee terms is based on European Union Directive 99/44/EC 
and the provisions of the Civil Code. The statutory rights that the consumer has under 
this legislation are not affected by this declaration of guarantee terms.
This declaration does not affect the vendors statutory warranty to the end user. The 
appliance is guaranteed within the context  of and in adherence with the following 
terms:
1. In accordance with provisions laid down in paragraphs 2 to 15, we will remedy free 
of charge any defect that occurs within 24 months from the date the appliance is 
delivered to the first end user.
These guarantee terms do not apply in the  event of use for professional or equiva-
lent purposes.
2. Performing the guarantee means that the appliance is returned to the condition it 
was in before the defect occurred. Defectiv e parts are replaced or repaired. Parts re-
placed free of charge become our property.
3. So as to avoid more severe damage, the defect must be brought to our attention 
immediately. 
4. Applying the guarantee is subject to the consumer providing proof of purchase 
showing the purchase and/or delivery date.
5. The guarantee will not apply if damage caused to delicate parts, such as glass (vit-
reous ceramic), synthetic materials and rubber, is the result of inappropriate use.
6. The guarantee cannot be called on for minor faults that do not affect the value or 
the overall reliability of the appliance.
7. The statutory warranty does not apply when defects are caused by:
–a chemical or electrochemical reaction caused by water, 
– abnormal environmental conditions in general,
– unsuitable operating conditions,
– contact with harsh substances.
8. The guarantee does not apply to defects due to transport which have occurred out-
side of our responsibility. Nor will the guarantee cover those caused by inadequate

11 .If the appliances are built-in, built-under, fixed or suspended in such a way that 
removing and replacing them in the place where they are fitted takes more than 
half an hour, the costs that result therefrom will be charged for. Connected damage 
caused by these removal and replacement operations will be the responsibility of 
the user. 
12. If, during the guarantee period, repairing the same defect repeatedly is not con-
clusive, or if the repair costs are considered disproportionate, in agreement with 
the consumer, the defective appliance may be replaced with another appliance of 
the same value.
In this event, we reserve the right to ask for a financial contribution calculated ac-
cording to the length of time it has been used.
13. A repair under guarantee does not mean that the normal guarantee period will be 
extended nor that a new guarantee period begins.
14. We give a twelve month guarantee for repairs, limited to the same defect.
15. Except in the event where liability is legally imposed, this declaration of guarantee 
terms excludes any compensation for dama ge outside the appliance for which the 
consumer wishes to assert his rights. In the event of legally admitted liability, com-
pensation will not exceed the purchase price paid for the appliance.
These guarantee terms are only valid for appliances purchased and used in Belgium. 
For exported appliances, the user must first make sure that they satisfy the technical 
conditions (e.g.: voltage, frequency, installation instructions, type of gas, etc.) for the 
country concerned and that they can withstand the local climatic and environmental 
conditions. For appliances purchased abroad, the user must first ensure that they 
meet the qualifications required in Belgium. Non-essential or requested adjustments 
are not covered by the guarantee and are not possible in all cases.
Our consumer services department is always at your disposal, even after the guaran-
tee period has expired.
