transferred or moved, make s re the instr ction
man al accompanies the washer-dryer to inform the
new owner as to its operation and feat res.
Read these instr ctions caref lly: they contain vital
information on installation, se and safety.
Unpacking and levelling
Unpacking
1. Unpack the washer-dryer.
2. Check whether the washer-dryer has been
damaged d ring transport. If this is the case, do not
install it and contact yo r retailer.
3. Remove the fo r
protective screws and
the r bber b sh with the
respective spacer,
sit ated on the rear of
the appliance (see also
the installation leaflet).
NB:The plastic spacers
may fall down inside the
machine once the bolt
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.
