Installation
! This instruction manual should be kept in a safe place
for future reference. If the washing machine is sold, given
away or moved, please ensure the manual is kept with
the machine, so that the new owner may benefit from the
advice contained within it.
! Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital
information relating to the safe installation and operation of
the appliance.
! Inside the pack containing this manual, you will also find
the guarantee and all the details necessary for installation.
Unpacking and levelling
Unpacking
1. Once you have removed all the packaging from the
washing machine, make sure it has not been damaged
during transportation.
If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not
proceed any further with the installation process.
2. Remove the 4 protective
screws (used during
transportation) and the
corresponding spacer,
located on the rear part of
the appliance (
see figure ).
3. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs supplied in the
pack.
4. Keep all the parts in a safe place; they will be needed
again if the washing machine is moved to another location,
to prevent the inside of the appliance being damaged.
! Packaging materials should not be used as toys for
children.
Levelling
1. Place the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor, without
resting it up against walls or cabinets.
2. If the floor is uneven, the
front feet of the machine
may be adjusted until
it reaches a horizontal
position (the angle of
inclination must not exceed
2 degrees).
! If the appliance is levelled correctly, it will be more stable
and much less likely to cause vibrations and noise while it
is operating, particularly during the spin cycle.
!
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 washing machine.
Connecting the electricity and water
supplies
Connecting the water inlet hose
! Before connecting the inlet hose to the water supply, run
the water until it is perfectly clear.
1. Connect the inlet hose
to the machine by screwing
it onto the cold water inlet
of the appliance, which is
situated on the top right-
hand side of the rear part of
the appliance
(see figure) .
2. Connect the inlet hose
by screwing it to a cold
water tap using a 3/4 gas
threaded connection
(see
figure) .
3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over or bent.
! The water pressure at the tap must fall within the 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 or old inlet hoses; use the
products supplied with the machine.
