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 Washer-dryer.
Electric and water connections
Connecting the water inlet hose
1. Connect the supply pipe
by screwing it to a cold
water tab 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
Washer-dryer,
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 next page).
! 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 Washer-dryer 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
1. Unpack the Washer-dryer.
2. Check whether the Washer-dryer has been damaged
during transport. If this is the case, do not install it
and contact your retailer.
3. Remove the 4 pro-
tective screws and the
rubber bush with the
respective spacer, situa-
ted on the rear of the
appliance (see also the
installation leaflet).
NB:The plastic spacers
may fall down inside the
machine once the bolt
has been removed, and
will not interfere with the operation of the machine.
4. Do not remove external bar.
5. Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided.
6. Keep all the parts: you will need them again if the
Washer-dryer 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 Washer-dryer on a flat sturdy floor, wi-
thout resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or
other.
2. If the floor is not per-
fectly level, compensate
for any unevenness by
tightening or loosening
the adjustable front feet
(see figure); the angle of
inclination, measured ac-
cording to the worktop,
must not exceed 2°.
