INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Transportation security devices
Before starting the machine it is indispensable to
remove the transportation security devices as
follows.
Unscrew and remove the rear right screw using a
spanner.
Lay the machine on its back making sure that the
hoses are not squashed.
Remove the polystyrene block from the bottom of the
machine.
Carefully slide out the right polythene bag, removing
it towards the centre of the machine.
Repeat the operation for the left polythene bag,
removing it towards the centre of the machine.

Remove the polystyrene base, set the machine Plug the 3 holes with the 3 plastic plugs which you
upright and unscrew the two remaining rear screws. can find on the back of the machine.
Slide out the 3 plastic pins.
Note
It is advisable to keep all the transportation and
packing security devices: they will be used in case
the machine has to be transported again.
Positioning
Position the washing machine on a firm level floor; it
must not touch the wall, other furniture etc. Beside
the washing machine there must be a tap for inlet of
the water, a sink or basin for water drainage and a
power supply socket. If the water drains directly into a
drain pipe, have it checked by a plumber or by the
installer.

Water inlet
Connect the water inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4" gas
thread spout after fitting the rubber filter supplied with
the machine.
Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring nut. Then
tighten the ring nut again to prevent leaks.
Water drainage
Fit the spout of the drain hose over a sink or basin.
Position the drain spout at a height of between 60
and 90 cm. If an extension hose is required, it should
not be longer than 180 cm and must have the same
internal diameter as the original drain hose. Depend¬
ing on the position of the sink or basin, the drain hose
can be turned either to the right, to the centre or to
the left.
To keep the drain hose spout bent, use the special
plastic hose guide supplied with the machine, which
can be used to secure the hose to a wall to prevent it
from moving during rinsing cycles and thus causing
floods.
Electrical connection
Before plugging the appliance into the wall socket,
make sure that:
the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage given in
the technical specifications:
the meter, fuses, mains power supply and wall socket
can all take the maximum load required.
Make sure that the socket and plug are compatible
without having to use any type of adapter. If neces¬
sary, have the domestic wiring system socket re¬
placed.
Safety standards require the appliance to be
earthed.
The Manufacturer accepts no liability for failure to
observe the above safety precautions.
Levelling
Level the washing machine by loosening or tightening
the feet. Accurate levelling prevents vibrations, noises
and displacement of the washing machine during
operation. After levelling the machine, secure the feet
by tightening the ring nuts.
