Installation
A
Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for
future reference. If the appliance is sold, given
away or moved, please ensure the manual remains
with the machine so that the new owner may
benefit from the advice contained within it.
Please read this instruction manual carefully it
contains important information regarding the safe
installation, use and maintenance of the appliance.
You will find the guarantee and other details relating to
the installation process in the bag containing this booklet.
Unpacking and levelling
Unpacking
1. Once the washing machine has been removed from
the packaging, check that it has not been damaged
during transportation.
If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do
not proceed any further with the installation process.
2. Remove the four
transit bolts and the
rubber bush with the
respective spacer,
situated on the rear of
the appliance.
NB:
The plastic spacers
may fall down inside the
machine once the bolt
has been removed, and
will not interfere with the operation of the machine.
3. Having removed the 4 bolts use the 4 plastic
blanking plates to cover the 4 holes.
4. Keep all the pieces; if the washing machine is
transported in future, the transit bolts and
spacers will have to be replaced in order to avoid
damaging the inside of the machine.
Packaging materials should not be used as toys by
children.
Levelling
1. Position the washing machine on a level and sturdy
floor, without resting it against walls or cabinets.
2. If the floor is uneven,
the feet of the
appliance may be
adjusted until it reaches
a perfectly horizontal
position (the angle of
inclination must not
exceed 2 degrees).
If the appliance is levelled correctly it will be more
stable and much less likely to cause vibrations and
noise during the spin cycle.
If positioned on a fitted carpet or a rug, adjust the
feet in such a way as to allow room for air to circulate
and provide ventilation beneath the washing machine.
Connecting the cold water and
electricity supplies
Connecting the water inlet hose
Before connecting the inlet hose to the cold water supply,
allow the water to flow from the tap until it runs clear.
1. Connect the inlet hose
to the machine, by
screwing it into the cold
water inlet on the upper
right hand side of the
back of the machine
(see figure)
.
2. Place the seal A
(provided in the bag) on
the end of the inlet hose
and screw it to a cold
water tap with a 3/4 BSP
threaded connection
(see figure)
.
3. Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the inlet
hose.
The water pressure at the tap must fall within the
values indicated in the Technical data table
(see
next page).
If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact
a specialist store or an authorised technician.
Always use the new water inlet hoses supplied
with the machine.
