Levelling the machine correctly will provide
it with stability, help to avoid vibrations and
excessive noise and prevent it from shifting
while it is operating. 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
1. Insert seal A into
the end of the inlet
hose and screw the
latter onto a cold wa-
ter tap with a 3/4 gas
threaded mouth (see
figure).
Before making the
connection, allow the
water to run freely un-
til it is perfectly clear.
2. Connect the inlet
hose to the washing
machine by screwing
it onto the correspon-
ding water inlet of the
appliance, which is
situated on the top
right-hand side of the
rear part of the ap-
pliance (see figure).
3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over
or bent.
!The water pressure at the tap must fall within
the range of 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 hoses.
!Use the ones supplied with the machine.
Installation
!This instruction manual should be kept in a
safe place for future reference. If the washing
machine is sold, transferred or moved, make
sure that the instruction manual remains with
the machine so that the new owner is able to
familiarise himself/herself with its operation
and features.
!Read these instructions carefully: they con-
tain vital information relating to the safe instal-
lation and operation of the appliance.
Unpacking and levelling
Unpacking
1. Remove the washing machine from its
packaging.
2. Make sure that the washing machine has
not been damaged during the transportation
process. If it has been damaged, contact the
retailer and do not proceed any further with
the installation process.
3. Remove the 4 pro-
tective screws (used
during transportation)
and the rubber wa-
sher with the cor-
responding spacer,
located on the rear
part of the appliance
(see figure).
4. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs
provided.
5. Keep all the parts in a safe place: you will
need them again if the washing machine ne-
eds to be moved to another location.
!Packaging materials should not be used as
toys for children.
Levelling
1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy
floor, without resting it up against walls, furni-
ture cabinets or anything else.
2. If the floor is not
perfectly level, com-
pensate for any une-
venness by tightening
or loosening the
adjustable front feet
(see figure); the angle
of inclination, measu-
red in relation to the
worktop, must not
exceed 2°.
