Installation

 This instruction manual should be kept in a safe place

for future reference. If the washer-dryer 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  washer-dryer  from  its  packaging.

2.  Make  sure  that  the  washer-dryer  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 washer-dryer needs to be moved to another

location.

 Packaging materials should not be used as toys for

children.

Levelling

1. Install the washer-dryer on a flat sturdy floor, without

resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or anything

else.

2. If the floor is not

perfectly  level,  compensa-

te 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  washer-dryer.

Connecting the electricity and water

supplies

Connecting the water inlet hose

1. Connect the inlet hose

by screwing it to a cold

water tab 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 washer-dryer 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.
