6. Fill the smaller upper hole and the two

large ones with the corresponding plastic
plug caps supplied in the bag containing
the instruction booklet.

Positioning

Install the machine on a flat hard floor. Make
sure that air circulation around the machine
is not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check
that the machine does not touch the wall or
other kitchen units. Level the washing ma-
chine by raising or lowering the feet. The feet
may be tight to adjust as they incorporate a
self locking nut, but the machine 

MUST

 be

level and stable. If necessary, check the set-
ting with a spirit level. Any necessary adjust-
ment can be made with a spanner. Accurate
levelling prevents vibration, noise and dis-
placement of the machine during operation.

Caution!

 Never place cardboard, wood

or similar materials under the machine to
compensate for any unevenness in the
floor.

Water inlet

Warning!

 

This appliance must be

connected to a cold water supply.

1. Connect the water inlet hose supplied

with the machine to a tap with a 3/4"
thread. Always use the hose supplied
with the appliance.

Important!

 

Do not use the hose from

your previous machine to connect to the
water supply.

2. The other end of the inlet hose which

connects to the machine can be turned
as showed in the picture.
Do not place the inlet hose downwards.
Angle the hose to the left or right depend-
ing on the position of your water tap.
