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 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 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 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 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 through. Old taps may seize in the
closed position and thus prevent water
reaching the machine.
!
Never use second-hand or old inlet hoses;
use the products supplied with the machine.
Installation
!
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
!
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 damaged 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 spacer, 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
machine on a flat sturdy
floor, without resting it up
against walls, cabinets
or anything else.
