3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 

 

Important ! 

The appliance must be installed by a specialised technician according to current regulations. 
The washing machine is very heavy. Take care when lifting it.

 

 

3.1 UNPACKING 

 

The inside of the machine comprises a moving assembly which is blocked for transport purposes by the screws 
(

A)

 located at the rear of the washing machine. 

 

1.  Release the assembly by removing these screws with a 13 mm wrench. 
2.  Remove the screws (

A)

 and relative spacers (

B) 

from the back of the washing machine. 

3.  To prevent water from entering the machine or people from touching live components with their fingers, 

close 

the four holes left open by the screws with the supplied plastic plugs (C).

 

 

 

 

Attention! 

 

Do not turn the machine upside down and do not place it on its side.  

 

Keep all the components used to block the drum assembly as they will be needed if you decide to move the 
appliance in future. 

 

3.2 POSITIONING AND LEVELLING 

 

1.  Place  the  appliance  in  the 

chosen position. 

 
2.  Carefully  level  the  machine  in 

all  directions  using  a  spirit 
level  and  adjusting  the  height 
of  the  feet  if  necessary.  After 
adjusting  the  machine,  lock 
the  feet  with  the  relative  lock 
nuts. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The water inlet and drain hoses can be turned to the right or left depending on installation requirements. 

 

Attention! 

 

Carry out this operation carefully to prevent the washing machine from vibrating, generating noise or 
moving during operation. 

 

If  the  appliance  is  installed  on  a  carpeted  floor,  ensure  that  the  openings  on  its  underside  are  not 
obstructed. 

 

Make sure the washing machine does not touch walls, furniture, etc., while it is working. 

 

The  appliance  must  not  be  installed  behind  a  lockable  door,  or  sliding  door,  or  a  door  with  hinge  on  the 
opposite side to the tumble dryer
