Installation

Unpacking

All transit bolts and packing must be removed before us-

ing the appliance.

You are advised to keep all transit devices so that they can

be refitted if the machine ever has to be transported again.

After removing all the

packaging, carefully lay

machine on it's back to re-

move the polystyrene base

from the bottom.

Remove the power supply

cable and the hoses from

the hose holders on the

rear of the appliance.

Unscrew the three bolts.

Slide out the relevant plas-

tic spacers.

Open the porthole and re-

move the polystyrene

block fitted on the door

seal.

Fill the smaller upper hole

and the two large ones

with the corresponding

plastic plug caps supplied

in the bag containing the

instruction booklet.

Positioning

Install the machine on a flat hard floor. Make sure that air

circulation around the machine is not impeded by carpets,

rugs etc. Check that the machine does not touch the wall

or other kitchen units. Level the washing machine by rais-

ing or lowering the feet. The feet may be tight to adjust as

they incorporate a self locking nut, but the machine MUST

be level and stable.

Any necessary adjustment can be made with a spanner.

Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and displace-

ment of the machine during operation. Never place card-

board, wood or similar materials under the machine to

compensate for any unevenness in the floor.

If necessary, check the

setting with a spirit level.

Installation on suspended flooring

Suspended wooden floors are particularly susceptible to

vibration.

To help prevent vibration we recommend you place a wa-

terproof wood panel, at least 15 mm thick under the appli-

ance, secured to at least 2 floor beams with screws, the

wood panel must extend beyond the front feet.

If possible install the appliance in one of the corners of

the room, where the floor is more stable.

Rubber feet kit (4055126249)

Available from your authorized dealer.

The rubber feet are particularly recommended on floating,

slippery and wooden floors.

Mount the rubber feet to prevent vibration, noises and dis-

placement of the appliance during operation.

Read carefully the instructions supplied with the kit.

Water inlet

Warning! This appliance must be connected to a

cold water supply
