Installation
! This instruction manual should be kept in a safe
place for future reference. If the washer-dryer is
sold, transferred or moved, make sure that the
instruction manual remains with the machine so
that the new owner is able to familiarise himself/
herself with its operation and features.
! Read these instructions carefully: they
contain vital information relating to the safe
installation and operation of the appliance.
Unpacking and levelling
Unpacking
1. Remove the washer-dryer from its
packaging.
2. Make sure that the washer-dryer has not
been damaged during the transportation
process. If it has been damaged, contact the
retailer and do not proceed any further with
the installation process.
3. Remove the 4 protective screws (used
during transportation)
and the rubber
washer with the
corresponding
spacer, located on
the rear part of the
appliance (see figure).
4. Close off the holes
using the plastic plugs
provided.
5. Keep all the parts in a safe place: you will
need them again if the washer-dryer needs to
be moved to another location.
! Packaging materials should not be used as
toys for children.
Levelling
1. Install the washer-dryer on a flat sturdy floor,
without resting it up against walls, furniture
cabinets or anything else.
2. If the floor is
not perfectly level,
compensate for
any unevenness
by tightening or
loosening the
adjustable front
feet (see figure); the
angle of inclination,
measured in relation
to the worktop, must
not exceed 2°.
Levelling the machine correctly will provide
it with stability, help to avoid vibrations and
excessive noise and prevent it from shifting
while it is operating. If it is placed on carpet or
a rug, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow
a sufficient ventilation space underneath the
washer-dryer.
Connecting the electricity and
water supplies
Connecting the water inlet hose
1. Connect the supply
pipe by screwing it to
a cold water tap using
a ¾ gas threaded
connection (see
figure).
Before performing
the connection, allow
the water to run freely
until it is perfectly
clear.
2. Connect the
inlet hose to the
washer-dryer by
screwing it onto the
corresponding water
inlet of the appliance,
which is situated on
the top right-hand
side of the rear part
of the appliance (see
figure).
3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over
or bent.
! The water pressure at the tap must fall within
the values indicated in the Technical details
table (see page 5).
! If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a
specialised shop or an authorised technician.
! Never use second-hand hoses.
! Use the ones supplied with the machine.
