Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future refe-
rence. 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 infor-
mation 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 protec-
tive 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.
Warning: should the screws be re-used, make sure you fasten
the shorter ones at the top.

Packaging materials are not children’s toys.
Levelling
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 lo-
osening the adjustable front feet
(see figure)
; the angle of inclina-
tion, 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 tab using a ¾
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 applian-
ce’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.
!
Never use hoses that have already been used.
