Installation
!
This instruction manual should be kept in a safe place for
future reference. If the washing machine is sold, transferred
or moved, make sure that the instruction manual remains
with the machine so that the new owner is able to familiarise
himself/herself with its operation and features.
!
Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital infor-
mation relating to the safe installation and operation of the
appliance.
Unpacking and levelling
Unpacking
1. Remove the washing machine from its packaging.
2. Make sure that the washing machine has not been da-
maged during the transportation process. If it has been da-
maged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any further
with the installation process.
3. Remove the 4 protective
screws (used during tran-
sportation) and the rubber
washer with the correspon-
ding spacer, located on the
rear part of the appliance
(
see figure ).
4. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs provided.
5. Keep all the parts in a safe place: you will need them again if
the washing machine needs to be moved to another location.
!
Packaging materials should not be used as toys for children.
Levelling
1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor, without
resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or anything else.
2. If the floor is not perfectly
level, compensate for any
unevenness by tightening or
loosening the adjustable front
feet (
see figure ); the angle
of inclination, measured in
relation to the worktop, must
not exceed 2°.
Levelling the machine correctly will provide it with stability,
help to avoid vibrations and excessive noise and prevent it
from shifting while it is operating. 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
1. Connect the supply pipe
by screwing it to a cold water
tab using a ¾ gas threaded
connection (see figure).
Before performing the con-
nection, allow the water to
run freely until it is perfectly
clear.
2. Connect the inlet hose
to the washing machine by
screwing it onto the corre-
sponding water inlet of the
appliance, which is situated
on the top right-hand side of
the rear part of the appliance
(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 details table (see next page).
!
If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialised
shop or an authorised technician.
!
Never use second-hand hoses.
!
Use the ones supplied with the machine.
