Water connection
Connect the water inlet hose to a cold water tap
with a 3/4" gas threaded orifice, after having inserted
the rugger sealing washer into the hose collar. If
the water connection is made onto new pipes or
onto pipes which have not been used for a long
time, it is advisable to run off a certain amount of
water before connecting the machine.
Place the curved end of the outled hose into a drain
pipe having a height between 70 and 100 cm from
floor level or secure it to a sink or bath tub. Make
sure that the drain hose is firmly secured so that it
will not slip out or fall down from its position.
The water should drain freely and, consequently,
the drain hose should not be choked or placed in
such a way as to obstruct the normal water flow.
If an extension hose is required, remember that it
might cause a malfunction in the drain pump,
particularly if the extension has a length in excess
of 1 meter or if the diameter of the extension is
smaller than the diameter of the original drain hose.
Electrical connection
Before you fit the plug into the wall socket, check
the following points :
1) The supply voltage of the domestic wiring system
does not fluctuate by more that 10%, plus or
minus, from 230 V.
2) The meter, the fuses, the supply line and the wall
socket are suitable to carry the maximum load
required by the machine (2,3 kW).
Very important :
The washing machine is provided with a feeding
wire with earth connection: it must be
connected to a plug like that is provided with a
good earth connection. The wall plug must be
easily accessible.
The replacing of the power cord must only be
realized by the After Sales Service.
The manufacturer declines any responsibility
where the previous recommendations are not
followed.
