Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for
future reference. Should the appliance be sold,
transferred 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
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 four
protective screws and
the rubber washer with
the respective spacer,
situated on the rear of
the appliance (see
figure) .
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 adjusted
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, compen-
sate for any
unevenness by
tightening or loosening
the adjustable front
feet (see figure) ; the
angle of inclination,
measured according to
the worktop, must not
exceed 2°.
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 to the water
mains using a gas 3/4
attachment, fitting
the rubber gasket and
the filter supplied with
the appliance and
ensuring that they are
fimly tightened to the
taps.
The water supply marked C must be connected to
the cold water tap; the pipe marked H must be
connected to the hot water tap. Both pipes may
be connected to the cold water tap using the
special Y connection with multiple attachments,
supplied with the appliance (see figure) .
Before making the connection, allow the water to
run freely until 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
appliance (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 next page) .
If the water inlet hose is not long enough,
contact a specialist store or an authorised
serviceman.
