Installation

Levelling your appliance correctly will provide it with sta-
bility 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 ventila-
tion beneath the washing machine.

Electric and water connections

Connecting the water inlet hose

1. Connect the supply pipe 
by screwing it to a cold 
water tab using a  
3/4 gas threaded connec-
tion (see figure). 
Before performing the con-
nection, 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 applian-
ce’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 next page).

!

  If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact a spe-

cialist store or an authorised serviceman.

!

  Ensure that the supply taps are allowing water through. 

Old taps may seize in the closed position and thus pre-
vent water reaching the machine.

Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future refe-

rence. 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 infor-

mation on installation, use and safety.

Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking

!

 This is a separate part of 

the polystyrene base and 
should be removed with 
the base.

!

 

IMPORTANT check 

when unpacking your 
machine.

1. Unpack the washing machine.
2. Check whether the washing machine has been dama-
ged during transport. If this is the case, do not install it and 
contact your retailer.

3. Remove the 4 protective 
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 provided.
5. Keep all the parts: you will need them again if the wa-
shing 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 ma-
chine on a flat sturdy floor, 
without resting it up against 
walls, furniture cabinets or 
other.

2. If the floor is not perfectly level, compensate for any 
unevenness by tightening or loosening the adjustable front 
feet (see figure); the angle of inclination, measured accor-
ding to the worktop, must not exceed 2°.
