m The most economic and least aggressive use
from an environmental point of view is always
to load the maximum amount of laundry posĆ
sible into the machine according to the seĆ
lected programme.
Installing the appliance
! When installing the appliance and connectĆ
ing it to the water supply and mains, the
guidelines and warnings indicated as well as
the general observations, regulations and
stipulations of the local water and electricity
supply companies should be closely obĆ
served.
! Be careful when lifting the appliance! Danger
of injury!
! Do not lift the appliance by its protruding
parts or controls!
! If in doubt, you should ask a specialist techniĆ
cian to connect the appliance to the water
supply and electric mains.
Positioning
In order to guarantee the safe and secure posiĆ
tioning of the appliance during the spin, the surĆ
face or location where the appliance is to be
installed should be flat and firm. Soft floor linings,
such as fitted carpets or other materials with a
foam rubber face, are not suitable locations for
the machine.
! If necessary, fix the appliance to the floor usĆ
ing attachment lugs (obtained from the After
Sales Service) secured to the feet of the maĆ
chine (particularly when setting up a comĆ
bined column of washing and drying).
! In the event of setting up the appliance on a
stand or raised base, it will be necessary to
secure the feet of the appliance with the lugs
in order to avoid the uncontrolled movement
of the machine during the spin cycle.
The attachment lugs can be acquired as well as a
spare set from the distributor.
Protective cover
If it is necessary to remove the protective cover in
order to install the appliance under the work surĆ
face, a technician should put in a cover plate to
avoid dirt, water, etc. from entering the appliance
and therefore extend its working life. This piece
may be obtained from After Sales Service.
