Installation
 This instruction manual should be kept in a safe place
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. nce 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.
2. Remove the 4
protective screws (used
during transportation) and
the corresponding spacer,
located on the rear part of
the appliance (see figure).
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. 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 electricit 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.
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).
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.

Connecting the drain hose
Connect the drain hose to
drain duct piping or a wall
drain located between 65
and 100 cm above the
floor, making sure it is not
bent at all.
Alternatively, rest the drain
hose on the side of a
washbasin or bathtub,
fastening the duct
supplied to the tap (see
figure).
The free end of the hose
should not be underwater.
 We advise against the use of hose extensions; if it is
absolutely necessary, the extension must have the same
diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 150
cm in length.
Electrical connections
Before plugging the appliance into the electricity socket,
make sure that:
 the socket is earthed and complies with all applicable
laws;
 the socket is able to withstand the maximum power
load of the appliance as indicated in the Technical
data table (see opposite);
 the power supply voltage falls within the values
indicated in the Technical data table (see opposite);
 the socket is compatible with the plug of the
appliance. If this is not the case, have the socket or
the plug replaced.
 The machine must not be installed outdoors, even in
covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the
appliance exposed to rain, storms and other weather
conditions.
 The mains socket must remain within easy reach after
the washing machine has been installed.
 Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.
 The cable should not be bent or compressed.
 The power supply cable and plug must only be
replaced by authorised technicians.
