Installation
!
This instruction manual should be kept in a safe place for
future reference. If the washing machine is sold, transferred
or moved, make sure that the instruction manual remains
with the machine so that the new owner is able to
familiarise himself/herself with its operation and features.
!
Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital
information relating to the safe installation and operation of
the appliance.
Unpacking and levelling
Unpacking
1. Remove the washing machine from its packaging.
2. Make sure that the washing machine has not been
damaged during the transportation process. If it has been
damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any
further with the installation process.
3. Remove the 4 protective
screws (used during
transportation) and the
rubber washer with the
corresponding spacer,
located on the rear part of
the appliance (
see figure ).
4. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs provided.
5. Keep all the parts in a safe place: you will need them
again if the washing machine needs to be moved to
another location.
!
Packaging materials should not be used as toys for
children.
Levelling
1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor, without
resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or anything
else.
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 in
relation to the worktop, must
not exceed 2°.
Levelling the machine correctly will provide it with stability,
help to avoid vibrations and excessive noise and prevent it
from shifting while it is operating. If it is placed on carpet or
a rug, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow a sufficient
ventilation space underneath the washing machine.
Connecting the electricity and water
supplies
Connecting the water inlet hose
1. Connect the inlet hose
by screwing it to a cold
water tap using a 3/4 gas
threaded connection
(see
figure).
Before performing the
connection, allow the
water to run freely until it is
perfectly clear.
2. Connect the inlet hose
to the washing machine
by screwing it onto the
corresponding 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 that the hose is not folded over or bent.
!
The water pressure at the tap must fall within the range
of values indicated in the Technical data table (see next
page).
!
If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialised
shop or an authorised technician.
!
Never use second-hand hoses.
!
Use the ones supplied with the machine.
