Installation
Levelling your appliance correctly will provide
it with stability and avoid any vibrations, noise
and shifting during operation. If it is placed on
a fitted or loose carpet, adjust the feet in such
a way as to allow enough room for ventilation
beneath the washing machine.
Electric and water connections
Connecting the water inlet hose
1. Connect the supply
pipe by screwing it to
a cold water tap using
a
3/4 gas threaded con-
nection (see figure).
Before performing the
connection, allow the
water to run freely un-
til it is perfectly clear.
2. Connect the other
end of the water inlet
hose to the washing
machine,
screwing it onto the
appliance’s cold water
inlet, situated on the
top right-hand side on
the rear of the applian-
ce (see figure).
3. Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the
hose.
! The water pressure at the tap must be within
the values indicated in the Technical details
table
(on the page 5).
! If the water inlet hose is not long enough,
contact a specialist store or an authorised
serviceman.
! Ensure that the supply taps are allowing wa-
ter through. Old taps may seize in the closed
position and thus prevent water reaching the
machine.
! Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for
future reference. Should the appliance be sold, tran-
sferred or moved, make sure the instruction manual
accompanies the washing machine to inform the
new owner as to its operation and features.
! Read these instructions carefully: they contain
vital information on installation, use and safety.
Unpacking and levelling
Unpacking
! This is a separate part
of the polystyrene base
and should be remo-
ved with the base.
! IMPORTANT check
when unpacking your
machine.
1. Unpack the washing machine.
2. Check whether the washing machine has
been damaged during transport. If this is the
case, do not install it and contact your retailer.
3. Remove the 4 pro-
tective screws and the
rubber bush with the
respective spacer, si-
tuated on the rear of the
appliance (see also the
installation leaflet).
4. Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided.
5. Keep all the parts: you will need them again
if the washing machine needs to be moved to
another location.
! Packaging materials are not children’s toys.
Levelling
Your machine may make a considerable amount
of noise if the two front feet have not been adju-
sted correctly.
1. Install the washing
machine on a flat sturdy
floor, without resting it up
against walls, furniture
cabinets or other.
2. If the floor is not perfectly level, compensate
for any unevenness by tightening or loosening
the adjustable front feet (see figure); the an-
gle of inclination, measured according to the
worktop, must not exceed 2°.
