Installing and levelling the machine
After having chosen the most suitable position, level the
washing machine using the adjustable feet [Fig. 3]. Care must
be taken when selecting the installation position and when
levelling the machine. Make sure that the lock-nuts on the
adjustable feet are properly tightened.
If the machine is not levelled properly, it will become unstable
and noisy during operation and may cause damage.
If the machine is installed on a carpeted floor, make sure that
air is free to circulate between the machine and the floor.
It is advisable not to install the machine in a room where the
temperature may fall to below 0
o C.
Connecting to the water supply
➘
The mains water pressure must be between 0.05 - 1.00
MPa (0.5 - 10 bar.)
➘
Before making the connection, open the tap or valve to allow a
certain amount of water to flow. This will clean the pipes of any dirt
such as sand or rust (this operation is above all necessary when
connecting the washing machine to a new connection or one that
has been inactive for a long period of time).
➘
The water feed pipe must be connected to the cold water
system through a 3/4” screwed connection.
➘
Insert the washer with the filter (supplied with the washing
machine) between the valve and the feed hose, then tighten
the connection by hand [fig. 4].
➘
Insert the washer in the other end of the feed hose and screw it
onto the washing machine [fig. 5].
➘
During washing, the water feed valve must be fully open.
➘
The water drain pipe outlet must be located at a height between
60 cm and 90 cm [fig. 6].
➘
If the washing machine drains directly into the waste water
system, the free end of the machine drain hose must be
inserted into a pipe of diameter not less than 40 mm.
➘
In order to prevent the siphon from filling with air and
causing water leaks, the connection of the drain hose to
the waste water system should not be sealed.
➘
If the water is drained into a washbasin or other free
discharge point, the free end of the drain hose must be
reinforced at the bend using the bracket supplied for the
purpose. Hook the hose over the rim of the recipient and
fix the bracket in a manner that prevents the hose from
falling [fig. 7]. The drain pipe from the washbasin must be
clear to allow the water to flow freely.
