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, 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 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.
