Instructions for Use 55
Placing and Installation
If the floor is uneven, use the adjustable feet to
level the machine.
•
Undo the nuts. Rotate the feet to level the
machine (fig. 5).
•
Fix the nuts (fig. 5.1).
Maximum height of the washing machine is
850 mm.
IMPORTANT
The floor on which the machine stands should be
dry, otherwise the machine may slide during the
spinning cycle.
Connection to the Water Supply
The elbow connection of the inlet hose is fixed to
the coupling on the rear wall of the appliance.
Insert a rubber washer with a net (filter) into a nut
on the other end of the hose, and fix the hose to a
tap. To ensure efficient operation, the water
pressure of the water supply should be between
0.5 and 8.0 bars.
If the pressure exceeds the maximum allowed
limit, fit a pressure regulator. (Open the tap fully -
in 15 seconds, 3 litres of water should pour out;
and this is the minimum pressure of the water
supply).
Connection to cold water
Insert the enclosed washer with filter into the loose
end of the hose and connect the hose to water tap
(fig. 6).
Connection to hot/cold water
Washing machines designed for the connection to
hot/cold water are equipped with two inlet hoses.
The attachment and the inlet hose for hot water are
marked with red colour.
Insert the enclosed washers with filter into the
loose ends of the hoses and connect the red
marked hose to hot water tap and the other hose
to cold water tap (fig. 6.1).
IMPORTANT
The highest allowed temperature of hot water is
60
°
C.
Water Outlet
Hook the outlet hose securely over the edge of the
washbasin or bath tub. The outlet hose can also be
connected directly to the plumbing outlet, the
diameter of which should be not less than 4 cm
(fig. 7).
Wall siphon drain must be correctly fitted in such
manner to enable cleaning.
If water is drained through a washbasin, always
check it is drained quickly enough, otherwise an
overflow may occur or the machine may pump
the water back. Pull a string through the hole on
the plastic knee, and secure the outlet hose to
prevent it from falling off (fig. 8).
The end of the outlet hose should be raised from
the floor by not more than 100 cm and not less
than 60 cm. If the hose is positioned higher than
recommended, the machine will not pump out the
water.
