Installation

Levelling your appliance correctly will provide it with 
stability and avoid any vibrations, noise and shifting du-
ring 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 
by screwing it to a cold 
water tab using a  
3/4 gas threaded connec-
tion (see figure). 
Before performing the 
connection, allow the wa-
ter 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  ap-
pliance’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 
specialist store or an authorised serviceman.

!

 

Ensure that the supply taps are allowing water throu-
gh. Old taps may seize in the closed position and thus 
prevent water reaching 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 opera-
tion and features.

!

 

Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital 

information on installation, use and safety.

Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking

!

 

This a part of the poly-

stirene base and should 
have stayed intact when 
you removed 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 protecti-
ve screws and the rubber 
bush with the respective 
spacer, situated on the 
rear of the appliance (see 
also the installation leaflet).

4. Do not remove external bar.
5. Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided.
6. 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, measu-
red according to the worktop, must not exceed 2°.
