    qualified electrician.
    • Ensure that, after installation, the power cable is
    not trapped under the appliance.
    • If the appliance is installed on carpeted floor,
    ensure that the carpet does not obstruct any
    ventilation ducts located at the base of the ap-
    pliance.
    • The appliance must be equipped with an earth-
    ed power plug which conforms to regulations.
    • Before connecting your appliance to the power

    ing.
    The drain hose must never be stretched. If it is too
    short, contact an engineer.
    Electrical connection
    This washing machine must only be connected in
    single-phased 230 V. Check the fuse size: 13 A for
    230 V. The appliance must not be connected with
    an extension lead or multi-plug adaptor. Ensure
    that the plug is earthed and that it is in accordance
    with current regulations.
    Positioning
    Position the appliance on a flat and hard surface in
    a ventilated location. Ensure the appliance does
    not come into contact with the wall or other furni-
    ture.
    To move your appliance, proceed as follows:
    Place it on its rollers by
    pulling the lever located
    at the base of the appli-
    ance hard from right to
    left. Once the appliance
    is in the desired posi-
    tion, push the lever back
    to its original position.
    Accurate levelling
    avoids vibrations, noise
    and prevents the appli-
    ance from moving when running.
