Installation
Levelling your appliance correctly will provide it with
stability and avoid any vibrations, noise and shifting du-
ring 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 connec-
tion (see figure).
Before performing the
connection, allow the wa-
ter 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 ap-
pliance’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 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 water throu-
gh. 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, transferred or
moved, make sure the instruction manual accompanies the
washing machine to inform the new owner as to its opera-
tion 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 removed with
the base.

IMPORTANT check when
unpacking your machine.
1. Unpack the washing machine.
2. Check whether the washing machine has been dama-
ged during transport. If this is the case, do not install it
and contact your retailer.
3. Remove the 4 protective
screws and the rubber bush
with the respective spa-
cer, situated 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 adjusted correctly.
1. Install the washing ma-
chine 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 angle of inclination, measu-
red according to the worktop, must not exceed 2°.
