Levelling
1. Install the machine on a flat sturdy floor, without
resting it up against walls, cabinets etc.
2. Compensate for any unevenness by tightening or
loosening the adjustable front feet. When adjusting
the feet, use a spirit level to check the machine
stands level, from side to side and from front to
back.
Levelling your appliance correctly will provide it with
stability and avoid any vibrations, noise and shifting
during operation. If it is placed on a fitted or loose
carpet, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow
enough room for ventilation beneath the washing
machine.
Water connection
Connecting the water inlet hose.
Remember that this is a cold-fill machine and the fill
hose fitted to the rear of the machine must be
connected to the cold water supply.
Before making the connections to the water outlet,
allow the water to run freely from the cold water
supply tap until it is perfectly clear.
Screw the cold water fill hose
onto the cold water supply tap
until tight.
Turn the tap on and check for leaks:
tighten if necessary.
!
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 (
next page
).
!
If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact a
specialist store or an authorised serviceman.
!
Always use new hoses.
!
Check the water hose at least once a year, replace
any that are cracked as worn hoses could split under
water pressure.

information on installation, use and safety.
Unpacking
1. Unpack the machine.

13mm spanner.
2. STOP when 3 threads can be
seen.
3. Hold, slide sideways and pull
to remove.
