Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for

future reference. 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  information  on  installation,  use  and  safety.

Unpacking  and  levelling

Unpacking

1. Unpack the washing machine.

2. Check whether the washing machine has been

damaged during transport. If this is the case, do

not install it and contact your retailer.

3. Remove the 3

protective  screws  and

the rubber washer with

the  respective  spacer,

situated on the rear of

the  appliance 

(see

figure)

.

4. Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided.

5. Keep all the parts: you will need them again if

the washing machine needs to be moved to

another  location.

Packaging  materials  are  not  children's  toys.

Levelling

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

perfectly  level,  com-

pensate  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 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.

Electric  and  water  connections

Connecting  the  water  inlet  hose

1. Insert seal A into the

end of the inlet hose

and screw the latter

onto a cold water tap

with a 3/4 gas threaded

mouth 

(see  figure)

.

Before making 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

appliance'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 page 5)

;

If the water inlet hose is not long enough,

contact a specialist store or an authorised

serviceman.
