Installation
(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. Connect the supply
pipe to the water
mains using a gas 3/4
attachment, fitting the
rubber gasket and
the filter supplied with
the appliance and
ensuring that they are
fimly tightened to the
taps. The water supply
marked
C
must be connected to the cold water
tap; the pipe marked
H
must be connected
to the hot water tap (max. temperature 60°C).
Both pipes may be connected to the cold water
tap using the special
Y
connection with multiple
attachments, supplied with the appliance
(see
figure)
. Before making the connection, allow the
water to run freely until it is perfectly clear.
2. Connect the inlet
hose to the machine
by screwing it onto
the cold water inlet of
the appliance, which
is situated on the top
right-hand side of the
rear part 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
water 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 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.

protective screws and
the rubber bush with
the respective spacer,
situated on the rear of
the appliance (see also
the installation leaflet).

you will need them again if the washing machine
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 washing
machine on a flat sturdy
floor, without resting it up
against walls, cabinets or
anything else.
2. If the floor is
not perfectly level,
compensate for
any unevenness by
tightening or loosening
the adjustable front feet
