Installation

Unpacking

All transit bolts and packing must be
removed before using 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.

1. Unscrew and remove the three rear

screws by means of a key.

2. .Open the porthole and remove the

polystirene block fitted on the doos
seal.

3. Place the machine in an upright

position and remove the three plastic
bolts.

4. Plug the 3 holes with the plastic plugs

which you can find in the envelope
containing the instruction booklet.

Hydraulic connection 

There should be a COLD WATER tap
near the washing machine with a
screwing on connection pipe of 3/4
gas for the water supply, a sink, a
wash basin or a drainage system in the

wall. Previously check if: 
- it is not a hot water tap. 
- the running water is clean. If not, run
off a reasonable amount of water to
flush out any debris that may have col-
lected in the pipes. 
Have the permanent drainage system
in the wall checked by a plumber. 
1. Carefully screw the pipe to the tap
taking care not to damage the screw-
drive and fix the nut well on to the end
in order to avoid leaking.

2. If necessary turn the hose ade-

quately by unscrewing the nut at the
rear of the appliance. Now tighten the
nut anew to avoid leaks. (Open the tap
and assure that it does not leak and
close it again.)

3. Place the discharging hose in a
washbasin or sink with the aid of the
bent piece delivered separately. The
bent piece has to be entered into the
tube’s mouth in order to assure the
support. Aforesaid piece allows the
hose to be fixed to the wall by means
of an opening on the upper part and
that way the hose does not move and
its falling is avoided.
