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.
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 washing machine to inform
the new owner as to its operation and features.
Read these instructions carefully: they contain
vital information on installation, use and safety.
Electric and water connections
Connecting the water inlet hose
1. Connect the supply
pipe to the water mains
using a gas 3/4
attachment, fitting the
rubber gaskets and the
filters supplied with the
appliance and ensuring
that they are firmly
tightened to the taps.
The water supply pipe
marked WHITE must be
connected to the cold
water tap; the pipe marked RED must be connec-
ted to the hot water tap.
Before making the connections, allow the water to
run freely until it is perfectly clear.
2. Connect the other angled end of the water inlet
hoses to the washing machine, screwing them onto
the appliance's cold and hot water inlets, situated on
the top right-hand side and in the low part of the
rear of the appliance (see figure aside).
Cold Water Adaptor.
If you have no hot water
supply or your water
pressure is low... you can
use a Y cold fill adaptor
(see above figure).
Warning. Do not
connect appliance to a
single outlet
instantaneous water
heater.
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.

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
protective 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, com-
pensate for any
unevenness by
tightening or loosening
the adjustable front feet (see figure); the angle of
inclination, measured according to the worktop,
must not exceed 2°.
