Installation
! Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future referen-
ce. Should the appliance be sold, transferred or moved, make
sure the instruction manual accompanies the washing machine
to inform the new owner as to its operation and features.
! Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital infor-
mation on installation, use and safety.
Unpacking and levelling
Unpacking
1. Unpack the washing machine.
2. Check whether the washing machine has been dama-
ged during transport. If this is the case, do not install it
and contact your retailer.
3. Remove the 4 protective
screws and the rubber bush
with the respective spacer,
situated on the rear of the
appliance (see also the instal-
lation leaflet).
NB:The plastic spacers may
fall down inside the machine
once the bolt has been remo-
ved, and will not interfere with
the operation of the machine.
4. Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided.
5. Keep all the parts: you will need them again if the wa-
shing machine needs to be moved to another location.
! Packaging materials are not children’s toys.
Levelling
Your machine may make a considerable amount of noise if the
two front feet have not been adjusted correctly.
1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor, without
resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or other.
2. If the floor is not per-
fectly level, compensate
for any unevenness by
tightening or loosening
the adjustable front feet
(see figure); the angle
of inclination, measured
according to the worktop,
must not exceed 2°.
Levelling your appliance correctly will provide it with stability and
avoid any vibrations, noise and shifting during operation. If it is pla-
ced on a fitted or loose carpet, adjust the feet in such a way as to
allow enough room for ventilation beneath the washing machine.
Electric and water connections
Connecting the water inlet hose
1. Connect the supply
pipe by screwing it to a
cold water tab using a ¾
gas threaded connection
(see figure).
Before performing the
connection, allow the
water to run freely until it is
perfectly clear.
2. Connect the other end of
the water inlet hose to the
washing machine,
screwing it onto the ap-
pliance’s cold water inlet,
situated on the top right-
hand side on the rear of the
appliance (see figure).
3. Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the hose.
! The water pressure at the tap must be within the values
indicated in the Technical details table
(on the next page).
! If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact a
specialist store or an authorised serviceman.
! Ensure that the supply taps are allowing water throu-
gh. Old taps may seize in the closed position and thus
prevent water reaching the machine.
