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
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, compen-
sate for any unevenness
by tightening or
loosening the adjustable
front feet
(see figure)
; the angle of inclination,
measured according to the worktop, must not
exceed 2°.
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 supply
pipe by screwing it to
a cold water tab using
a ¾ gas threaded
connection
(see
figure).
Before performing 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
(on the next page)
.
If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact
a specialist store or an authorised serviceman.
Never use hoses that have already been used.
