Installation
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.
Unpacking and levelling
Unpacking
1. Unpack the
washing machine.
2. Check whether the
washing machine has
been damaged during
transport. If this is the
case, do not install it
and contact your
retailer.
3. Remove the four
protective screws and
the rubber washer
with the respective
spacer, situated on
the rear of the
appliance
(see figure)
.
4. Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided.
5. Keep all the parts: you will need them again if
the washing machine needs to be moved to
another location.
Warning:
should the screws be re-used, make sure
you fasten the shorter ones at the top.
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, furniture cabinets
or other.
2. If the floor is not
perfectly level, com-
pensate for any
unevenness by
tightening or loosening
the adjustable front feet
(see figure)
; the angle of
inclination must not exceed 2°, when measured
over the worktop.
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.
Putting your appliance in place and moving it.
If your washing
machine is equipped
with a special set of
retractable wheels you
can easy move it. To
lower the wheels and
thus move the
appliance effortlessly,
just pull the lever,
situated on the left-
hand side beneath the
base. Once the
appliance is in the required position, put the lever
back in place. The washing machine is now firmly in
place
(see figure)
.
Electric and water connections
Connecting the water inlet hose
1. Connect the straight
hose connection onto a
cold water tap with a 3/4
bsp thread
(see figure)
.
Before making the
connection, 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
appliance'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
(see page 5)
.
If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact
a specialist store or an authorised serviceman.
