Installation

ning 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 washer-dryer.

Electric and water connections

Connecting the water inlet hose

1. Connect the supply pipe by screwing it to a 

cold water tap using a 

3/4 gas threaded con-

nection 

(see figure). 

Before performing the 

connection, allow the 

water to run freely un-

til it is perfectly clear.

2. Connect the other 

end of the water inlet 

hose to the washer-

dryer, 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.

!

 Ensure that the supply taps are allowing wa-

ter through. Old taps may seize in the closed 

position and thus prevent water reaching the 

machine.

!

 Never use second-hand or old inlet hoses; 

use the products supplied with the machine.

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 washer-

dryer to inform the new owner as to its opera-

tion and features.

!

 Read these instructions carefully: they contain 

vital information on installation, use and safety.

Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking

!

 This is a separate 

part of the polystyre-

ne base and should 

be removed with the 

base.

!

 

IMPORTANT check 

when unpacking 

your machine.

1. Unpack the washer-dryer.

2. Check whether the washer-dryer has been 

damaged during transport. If this is the case, 

do not install it and contact your retailer.

3. Remove the 4 pro-

tective screws and 

the rubber bush with 

the respective spacer, 

situated on the rear of 

the appliance (see also 

the installation leaflet).

4. Seal the gaps using 

the plastic plugs provi-

ded.

5. Keep all the parts: 

you will need them again if the washer-dryer 

needs to be moved to another location.

Packaging materials are not children’s toys.

Levelling

Your machine may make a considerable 

amount of noise if the two front feet have not 

been adjusted correctly.

1. Install the washer-dr-

yer on a flat sturdy floor, 

without resting it up 

against walls, cabinets 

or anything else.

2. If the floor is not per-

fectly level, compensa-

te for any unevenness 

by tightening or loose-
