Installation
! Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for
future reference. Should the appliance be sold, tran-
sferred 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.
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 ap-
pliance (see figure).
4. Seal the gaps using
the plastic plugs pro-
vided.
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
Your machine may make a considerable amount
of noise if the two front feet have not been adju-
sted correctly.
1. Install the washing
machine on a flat stur-
dy floor, without resting
it up against walls, fur-
niture cabinets or other.
2. If the floor is not per-
fectly level, compensa-
te for any unevenness
by tightening or loo-
sening the adjustable
front feet (see figure);
the angle of inclination must not exceed 2°, when
measured over the worktop.
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.
Electric and water connections
Connecting the water inlet hose
1. Connect the supply
pipe by screwing it to
a cold water tab using
a ¾ gas threaded con-
nection (see figure).
Before performing the
connection, allow the
water to run freely until
it is perfectly clear.
2. Connect the other end
of the water inlet hose
to the washing machi-
ne, 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.
