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, noi-
se and shifting during operation. If it is pla-
ced 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 thre-
aded connection (see
figure). Before per-
forming the connec-
tion, allow the water
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
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 (see 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.
! 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 ope-
ration 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
protective screws
and the rubber
bush with the re-
spective spacer, si-
tuated on the rear
of the appliance
(see also the instal-
lation leaflet).
NB:The plastic spa-
cers may fall down
inside the machine once the bolt has been
removed, and will not interfere with the
operation of the machine.
4. Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs
provided.
5. Keep all the parts: you will need them
again if the Washer-dryer needs to be mo-
ved 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 Wa-
sher-dryer 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
