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 information 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 damaged during the transportation
process. If it has been damaged, contact the
retailer and do not proceed any further with
the installation process.
3. Remove the 4
protective screws
(used during
transportation)
and the rubber
washer with the
corresponding
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 inlet
hose by screwing it to
a cold water tap using
a 3/4 gas threaded
connection
(see
figure).
Before performing
the connection, 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
corresponding 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 range of 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 hoses.
!
Use the ones supplied with the machine.
