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  4

protective  screws  and

the rubber bush with the

respective  spacer,

situated on the rear of

the  appliance 

(see  also

the installation leaflet)

.

NB:

The  plastic  spacers

may fall down inside the

machine  once  the  bolt

has been removed, and will not interfere with the

operation  of  the  machine.

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.

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,  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.

Electric and water connections

Connecting the water inlet hose

1. Insert seal A into the

end of the inlet hose

and  screw  the  latter

onto a cold water tap

with a 3/4 gas threaded

mouth 

(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

(on the next page)

.

If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact

a  specialist  store  or  an  authorised  serviceman.

Ensure that the supply taps are allowing water

through. Old taps may seize in the closed position

and  thus  prevent  water  reaching  the  machine.
