We recommend that you

keep the packaging and the

transit bolts for any

movement of the appliance.

5.2 

Installation on suspended

flooring

Suspended wooden floors are

particularly susceptible to vibration.
To limit vibration we recommend placing

a waterproof wooden panel, at least 15

mm thick, under the appliance. It should

be screwed to at least 2 floor beams and

should extend beyond the front feet.
If possible, install the appliance where

the floor is more stable.

5.3 

Positioning and levelling

1.

Install the appliance on a flat hard

floor.

Make sure that carpets do

not stop the air circulation

below the appliance.

Make sure that the

appliance does not touch

the wall or other units.

2.

Loosen or tighten the feet to adjust

the level.

WARNING!

Do not put cardboard, wood

or equivalent materials

below the appliance feet to

adjust the level.

x4

The appliance must be level and stable.

A correct adjustment of the

appliance level prevents the

vibration, noise and the

movement of the appliance

when in operation.

When the machine is

installed on a plinth or if a

washer dryer is stacked on

the washing machine, use

the accessories described in

chapter 'Accessories'. Read

carefully the instructions

supplied with the appliance

and with the accessory.

5.4 

The inlet hose

1.

Connect the water inlet hose to the

back of the appliance.

2.

Position it toward left or right

depending on the position of the

water tap.
