Questo apparecc io dispone di contrassegno ai sensi della direttiva europea 2002/96/CE in materia di
apparecc i elettrici ed elettronici (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment - WEEE).
Il simbolo del cassonetto barrato riportato sull’apparecc iatura o sulla confezione indica c e il prodotto alla
fine della propria vita utile deve essere raccolto separatamente dagli altri rifiuti. L’utente dovrà pertanto con-
ferire l’apparecc iatura giunta a fine vita agli idonei centri di raccolta differenziata dei rifiuti elettronici ed elet-
trotecnici, oppure riconsegnarla ai rivenditori al momento dell’acquisto di una nuova apparecc iatura di tipo
equivalente, in ragione di uno a uno.
L’adeguata raccolta differenziata per l’avvio successivo dell’apparecc iatura dimessa al riciclaggio, al tratta-
mento e allo smaltimento ambientalmente compatibile contribuisce ad evitare possibili effetti negativi
sull’ambiente e sulla salute e favorisce il reimpiego e/o riciclo dei materiali di cui è composta
l’apparecc iatura.
Lo smaltimento abusivo del prodotto da parte dell’utente comporta l’applicazione delle sanzioni amministrati-
ve ai termini di legge.

(A) located at t e rear of t e was ing mac ine.
4. Release t e assembly by removing t ese screws wit a 13 mm wrenc .
5. Remove t e screws (A) and relative spacers (B) from t e back of t e was ing mac ine.
6. To prevent water from entering t e mac ine or people from touc ing live components wit t eir fingers, close
the four holes left open by the screws with the supplied plastic plu s (C).
Attention!
• Do not turn t e mac ine upside down and do not place it on its side.
• Keep all t e components used to block t e drum assembly as t ey will be needed if you decide to move t e
appliance in future.
3.2 POSITIONING AND LEVELLING
3. Place t e appliance in t e
c osen position.
4. Carefully level t e mac ine in
all directions using a spirit
level and adjusting t e eig t
of t e feet if necessary. After
adjusting t e mac ine, lock
t e feet wit t e relative lock
nuts.
T e water inlet and drain oses can be turned to t e rig t or left depending on installation requirements.
Attention!
• Carry out this operation carefully to prevent the washin machine from vibratin , eneratin noise or
movin durin operation.
• If the appliance is installed on a carpeted floor, ensure that the openin s on its underside are not ob-
structed.
• Make sure t e was ing mac ine does not touc walls, furniture, etc., w ile it is working.

3.3 WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
2. C eck t at inlet pressure lies between t e following values: 50-900kPa. For ig er
pressures, install a pressure reducer.
4. Connect t e cold water inlet ose (li ht blue ring nut) to t e cold water tap wit a ¾
gas t read, taking care to screw it firmly into place in order to prevent leaks. T e water
inlet ose must not be bent or crus ed and must not be replaced or cut.
5. If a hot water inlet is used, inlet water temperature must not exceed 60°C and t e
ose wit t e red ring nut must be connected to t e ot water tap.
Attention!
• If t e water pipe is new or as not been used for a long time, let a certain amount of water run before attac -
ing t e inlet ose. T is stops any deposits of sand and ot er impurities from clogging t e filters used by t e
mac ine to protect t e water inlet valves.
• T e new ose-set supplied wit t e appliance are to be used and t e old ose-set s ould not be reused.
3.4 DRAIN CONNECTION

ranging between 50 and 90 cm, or attac it (using t e relative curved plastic profile) to a basin or bat tub.
4. Always c eck t at t e end of t e drain ose is securely attac ed in order to prevent t e repulsive force of t e
water from moving it out of position.
Attention!
• Do not bend or obstruct t e ose as t is will reduce t e flow of water.
• Any extensions to t e drain ose must not exceed 1 metre, t ey must ave t e same internal diameter and
must not be obstructed in any way.
• In no case may t e end of t e drain ose be submerged in water.
3.5 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Before fitting t e plug into t e socket, make sure t at:
4. Input voltage matc es t at indicated on t e name plate attac ed to t e inner edge of t e door.
5. T e contactor, pressure relief valves, power line and socket are capable of wit standing t e maximum
rated power input indicated on t e name plate.
6. T e socket is compatible wit t e plug supplied wit t e mac ine wit out t e need to fit multiple sockets,
adaptors or extension leads t at could cause over eating or burning.
If t e socket does not correspond to t e supplied plug, replace t e socket wit one of a suitable type.
Attention
• T e plug must be accessible after installation.
• The appliance must be earthed. Plug t e mac ine into a socket fitted wit an efficient eart connection.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for dama e to persons or property resultin from
