3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Important !
The appliance m st be installed by a specialised technician according to c rrent reg lations.
This washing machine is very heavy. Take care when lifting it.
3.1 UNPACKING
The inside of the machine comprises a moving assemb y which is b ocked for transport purposes by the screws
(A) ocated at the rear of the washing machine.
1. Re ease the assemb y by removing these screws with a 13 mm wrench.
2. Remove the screws (A) and re ative spacers (B) from the back of the washing machine.
3. To prevent water from entering the machine, or peop e from touching ive components with their fingers,
close the fo r holes left open by the screws with the s pplied plastic pl gs (C).
Attention!
• Do not turn the machine upside down and do not p ace it on its side.
• Keep a the components used to ock the drum assemb y as they wi be needed if you decide to move the
app iance in future.
3.2 POSITIONING AND LEVELLING
1. P ace the app iance in the
chosen position.
2. Carefu y eve the machine in
a directions using a spirit
eve and adjusting the feet if
necessary. After adjusting the
machine, ock the feet with the
re ative ock nuts.
The water in et and drain hoses can be turned to the right or eft depending on insta ation requirements.
Attention!
• Carry o t this operation caref lly to prevent the washing machine from vibrating, generating noise or
moving d ring operation.
• If the appliance is installed adjacent to a carpeted floor, ens re that the openings on its nderside are
not obstr cted.
• Make sure the washing machine does not touch wa s, furniture, etc., whi e it is working.

3.3 ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Carefu y read the insta ation instructions in point 3 on page 6 of the washer dryer insta ation manua .
2. After the initia instructions have been adhered to. I.e. removing transit bo ts and fitting the adjustab e feet etc.
Using a spirit eve , make sure that the washer dryer is comp ete y eve and the overa height of the egs,
inc uding the rubber foot and the ocking nuts, is no greater than 25mm maximum.
3. When insta ing the washer dryer you must ensure that the eg ocking nuts are firm y tightened.
Under no circumstances shou d the washer dryer be insta ed with the front egs higher than the rear. If
attention is required in eve ing the furniture door then we wou d advise fitting the “push-push” catch and the
rubber furniture door buffer. It is important to note that any other insta ation other than one of a eve nature
cou d induce vibration or excessive movement of the washer dryer, especia y on the spin cyc e.
4. The machine shou d be insta ed direct y onto a c ean, sound and eve f oor, and as ow as possib e. P ease
note this machine shou d not be insta ed on carpets, foam-backed f ooring, aminate and parquet f oors. If,
however, for cosmetic purposes the machine height needs to be raised, it must not be done so by raising the
height of the egs, but via an additiona baseboard.
As a manufacture we do not recommend or specify any particu ar means by which to raise the washer dryer,
but have found that dense board, between 18mm and 40mm in thickness, grip-fixed and screwed to the f oor
and capab e of supporting the weight of the washer dryer without distortion, and cut to the dimensions of the
machine base appears to be good insta ation practice.
P ease note that any materia that has a shiny or a s ippery finish shou d not be used.
5. F oating f oors. As more apartments are being bui t with f oating f oors, additiona care must be taken when
insta ing the washer dryers. The current f ooring specifications state that additiona bracing must be insta ed
in areas direct y be ow e ectric storage heaters and door thresho ds. It is important to note that whi st some
e ectric storage heaters have a weight of 80kgs, washer dryers, when oaded, have a combined weight in
excess of 90kgs and the osci ating nature of any oaded washer dryer wi de iver varying stresses and
oadings on to the adjacent f oor area.
However because f oating f ooring manufacturers current specifications do not state that additiona bracing is
required in the f oor area be ow heavy domestic app iances the f ooring area be ow washer dryers is genera y
on y supported in one direction and not two as is the case with e ectric storage heaters. Therefore in order to
provide the house purchaser with additiona peace of mind, and to prevent any unnecessary vibration and
osci ation in the kitchen area we wou d advise house bui ders to consider fitting additiona f oor bracing at the
time of f oor insta ation to a simi ar specification to that which is required for the insta ation of e ectric storage
heaters.
6. The idea base surface for any heavy domestic app iance to stand on is one of so id concrete, as any minor
eak from the domestic water supp y wi not adverse y effect the area adjacent to the washer dryer, as any
eak onto a f oating and/or wood aminate f oor cou d cause extensive water damage.
P ease note that as these machines are water tested prior to eaving our factory a sma amount of residua
water wi be present in the hoses, therefore care must be taken to prevent any minor water spi age during
insta ation. P ease a so ensure that the water feed hose are correct y fitted and tightened, both at the mains
and the machine connectors.
7. P ease ensure that insta ation is carried out in accordance to the above insta ation instructions. As fai ure to
do so cou d inva idate the guarantee.
3.4 WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
1. Check that in et pressure ies between the fo owing va ues: 50-900kPa. For higher
pressures, insta a pressure reducer.
2. Connect the cold water in et hose (light bl e ring nut) to the co d water tap with a ¾
gas thread, taking care to screw it firm y into p ace in order to prevent eaks. The water
in et hose must not be bent or crushed and must not be rep aced or cut.
3. If a hot water in et is used, in et water temperature must not exceed 60°C and the
hose with the red ring nut must be connected to the hot water tap.
Attention!
• If the water pipe is new or has not been used for a ong time, et a certain amount of water run before
attaching the in et hose. This stops any deposits of sand and other impurities from c ogging the fi ters used
by the machine to protect the water in et va ves.
• The new hose-set supp ied with the app iance are to be used and the o d hose-set shou d not be reused

EN
9
3.5 DRAIN CONNECTION
1. Insert the end of the drain hose into a drain pipe having an interna diameter of at east 4 cm and a height
ranging between 50 and 90 cm, or attach it (using the re ative curved p astic profi e) to a basin or bath tub.
2. A ways check that the end of the drain hose is secure y attached in order to prevent the repu sive force of the
water from moving it out of position.
Attention!
• Do not bend or obstruct the hose as this wi reduce the f ow of water.
• Any extensions to the drain hose must not exceed 1 metre, they must have the same interna diameter and
must not be obstructed in any way.
• In no case may the end of the drain hose be submerged in water.
3.6 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Before fitting the p ug into the socket, make sure that:
1. Input vo tage matches that indicated on the name p ate attached to the inner edge of the door.
2. The contactor, pressure re ief va ves, power ine and socket are capab e of withstanding the maximum
rated power input indicated on the name p ate.
3. The socket is compatib e with the p ug supp ied with the machine without the need to fit mu tip e sockets,
adaptors or extension eads that cou d cause overheating or burning.
If the socket does not correspond to the supp ied p ug, rep ace the socket with one of a suitab e type.
Attention
• The p ug must be accessib e after insta ation.
• The appliance m st be earthed. P ug the machine into a socket fitted with an efficient earth connection.
The man fact rer declines all responsibility for damage to persons or property res lting from
fail re to earth the appliance or from a defective earth connection. Correct electrical
connections g arantee maxim m safety.
• This app iance comp ies with EEC directive 89/336 of 3.5.89 (modified by EEC directive 92/31) re ative to the
e imination of radio interference.
• If the power cord is damaged, on y rep ace it with an origina spare part avai ab e from our service

3.7.2 Use of the f rnit re door fixing template
Proceed in the fo owing way when app ying the wooden pane to the washing dryer:
1. When fitting the furniture door uti ising the door temp ate you wi need to make sure that the bottom and
the top of the furniture door wi ine up with the adjacent cabinet furniture doors.
2. The fina positioning of the furniture door hinges wi be dictated to by the height or the p inth p us any
additiona base-board used in conjunction with raising the height of the washer dryer for cosmetic
purposes
3. Ca cu ate the height of the p inth: Measure the height of the kitchen baseboard: the height of the wooden
pane is obtained by first estab ishing the height of the kitchen baseboard.
E.g.: for a 100 mm high baseboard, the maximum height of the pane is 720 mm. If the height of the
baseboard must be increased, the height of the wooden pane must be reduced.
4. P ace the temp ate of the inner side of the pane and match the height of the baseboard with the ower
edge of the pane using the graduated sca e. Make sure the temp ate is horizonta y centred with
reference to the vertica ines marked at the ends.
