Installation

! This instruction manual should be kept in a safe place
EN
for future reference. If the washing machine is sold,
given away or moved, please ensure the manual is kept
with the machine, so that the new owner may benefit
from the advice contained within it.
! Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital
information relating to the safe installation and operation
of the appliance.
! Inside the pack containing this manual, you will also
find the guarantee and all the details necessary for
installation.

Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking
1. Once you have removed all the packaging from the
washing machine, make sure it has not been damaged
during transportation.
If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not
proceed any further with the installation process.
3. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs supplied in
the pack.
4. Keep all the parts in a safe place; they will be needed
again if the washing machine is moved to another
location, to prevent the inside of the appliance being
damaged.
! Packaging materials should not be used as toys for
children.
Levelling
1. Place the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor,
without resting it up against walls or cabinets.
2
2. Remove the 4
protective screws (used
during transportation) and
the corresponding spacer,
located on the rear part of
the appliance (see figure).
2. If the floor is uneven,
the front feet of the
machine may be adjusted
until it reaches a horizontal
position (the angle of
inclination must not
exceed 2 degrees).
! If the appliance is levelled correctly, it will be more
stable and much less likely to cause vibrations and noise
while it is operating, particularly during the spin cycle.
! 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 washing machine.
Connecting the electricity and water
supplies
Connecting the water inlet hose
! Before connecting the inlet hose to the water supply,
run the water until it is perfectly clear.
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 data table (see next
page).
! If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a
specialised shop or an authorised technician.
! Never use second-hand or old inlet hoses; use the
products supplied with the machine.
1. Connect the inlet hose
to the machine by
screwing it onto the cold
water inlet of the
appliance, which is
situated on the top right-
hand side of the rear part
of the appliance (see
figure).
2. Connect the inlet hose
by screwing it to a cold
water tab using a 3/4 gas
threaded connection (see
figure).
