has been removed, and will not interfere with the
operation of the machine.
4. Seal the gaps sing the plastic pl gs provided.
5. Keep all the parts: yo will need them again if the
washing machine needs to be moved to another
location.
Packaging materials are not children's toys.
Levelling
Yo r machine may make a considerable amo nt of noise
if the two front feet have not been adj sted correctly.
1. Install the washer-dryer on a flat st rdy floor,
witho t resting it p against walls, f rnit re cabinets
or other.
2. If the floor is not
perfectly level, compen-
sate for any nevenness
by tightening or
loosening the adj stable
front feet (see figure);
the angle of inclination,
meas red according to
the worktop, m st not
exceed 2°.
Levelling yo r appliance correctly will provide it with
stability and avoid any vibrations, noise and shifting
d ring operation. If it is placed on a fitted or loose
carpet, adj st the feet in s ch a way as to allow
eno gh room for ventilation beneath the washer-dryer.
Electric and water connections
Connecting the water inlet hose
1. Insert seal A into the
end of the inlet hose
and screw the latter
onto a cold water tap
with a 3/4 gas threaded
mo th (see figure).
Before making the
connection, allow the
water to r n freely ntil
it is perfectly clear.
2. Connect the other end
of the water inlet hose to
the washer-dryer,
screwing it onto the
appliance's cold water
inlet, sit ated on the top
right-hand side on the
rear of the appliance
(see figure).
3. Make s re there are no kinks or bends in the hose.
The water press re at the tap m st be within the
val es indicated in the Technical details table
(on the next page).
If the water inlet hose is not long eno gh, contact
a specialist store or an a thorised serviceman.
Ens re that the s pply taps are allowing water
thro gh. Old taps may seize in the closed position
and th s prevent water reaching the machine.
