INSTALLATION GUIDE
Pictures are on the cover of this Instruction for
Use.
For built-in washing machines: observe the
separate Built-in Instructions.
Noise, excessive vibrations and water leakages
can be caused by incorrect installation of washing
machine.
For freestanding models: NEVER move the
washing machine by carrying it at the worktop.
REMOVE TRANSPORT BOLTS!
(pict.15)
Important:
- Not removed transport bolts cause damages to
the appliance!
-
Keep the transport bolts for further
transporting of the appliance; in this case refit
the transport bolts in reverse order.
1. Loosen and screw out the screws of all 4 transport
bolts; use a 13 mm wrench (pict. 16a , b ).
2. Afterwards screw in the screws again just by about
2 cm; then pull out the plastic parts from the back
of the washing machine by wobbling and pulling on
the screws (pict. 16c, d, e ).
3. Push the plastic caps delivered with your washing
machine on the openings to close them (pict. 16f ).
ADJUSTMENT OF THE FEET
The appliance must be installed on a solid and level
floor surface (if necessary use a spirit level).
If the appliance is to be installed on a wooden or
floating floor, distribute the weight by placing it on a
sheet of plywood measuring at least 60 x 60 cm and
thickness of at least 3 cm which is secured to the
floor. If the floor is uneven, adjust the 4 levelling feet
as required; do not insert pieces of wood etc. under
the feet.
Screw out the washing machine´s feet by hand with
2-3 clockwise turns and then slacken the locknut by
13 mm wrench (pict. 17 , 18 ).
Slightly lift the machine and adjust the height of the
foot revolving it (pict. 18 ).
Important: tighten the locknut by turning it anti-
clockwise towards the appliance casing (pict. 19 , 20 ).
CONNECT THE WATER INLET HOSE
If the water inlet hose is not already installed, screw
by hand the bent end of the inlet hose to the valve
on the washing machine‘s back (pict. 21 , 22 ). Screw
by hand the straight end of the inlet hose to the tap,
tightening the nut.
Attention:
• No kinks in the hose!
• The appliance must not be connected to the
mixing tap of an un-pressurized water heater.
• Check water-tightness of connections by
turning the tap completely on.
• If the hose is too short, replace it with a suitable
length of pressure resistant hose (1000 kPa min,
EN 61770 approved type). If you need a longer
waterstop hose, contact our After Sales Service or
your dealer.
• Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and
cracks and replace if necessary.
• The washing machine can be connected without a
backflow valve.
CONNECT THE DRAIN HOSE
1. In case the drain hose is installed as shown on
pict. 23 : Unclip it from the holders marked with
arrows.
2. In case the drain hose is installed in the upper part
of the washing machine (pict. 24 ): Unclip it from
both holders marked with arrows (depending on
the model ).
3. Firmly connect the drain hose to the siphon or
another outlet for drain water.
• Make sure there are no kinks in the drain hose.
• Secure the hose so that it cannot fall down.
• Small hand basins are not appropriate.
• To make an extension, use a hose of the same
type and secure the connections with clips.
• Height for siphon - drain hose connection must be
minimum 60 cm and maximum 125 cm
• Max. Overall drain hose length: 2,50 m (in this
case, the maximum height for fixation is 90 cm).
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
• Use a socket with an earth connection.
• Do not use extension leads or multi sockets.
• The electrical power cable must be replaced
exclusively by a licensed electrician.
• Electrical connections must be made in
accordance with local regulations.
