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 tap using a 3/4 gas
threaded connection
(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 page 5).
!
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.
!
Never use second-hand or old inlet hoses; use the pro-
ducts supplied with 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°.
