INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
•Remove the exterior and interior packaging before using your appliance.
•Place the washing machine on a clean, dry concrete floor strong enough to support the
machine.
•Let the washing machine stand for at least two hours before first using the appliance.
NOTE: Before using your appliance for the first time, the transport rods must be removed. A
blocked washing machine may be damaged when it is switched on for the first time.
Warranty should be void in cases of such damage.
Removing the Blocking Rods
1. Move the housing and remove the screws on the back of
the washing machine. Remove the two angular
pieces.
2. Slide the angular pieces onto the groove in the
blocking rod. Before doing so, rotate the right
angular piece to the opposite side.
3. Use the angular pieces to rotate the blocking
rods by 90°and pull them out.
4. Cover the two holes, through which the blocking rods were
inserted, with plastic plugs. Redo the screws that were
removed in Step 1.
Adjusting the Washing Machine Feet
Use a water scale and a No.32 wrench to adjust the feet and a No. 17 wrench to adjust the nut.
1. Rotate the adjustable feet to change their height and
level the washing machine.
2. Firmly tighten the jam nuts, using a No. 17 wrench, by
turning them up, toward the bottom of the washing
machine.
NOTE: Incorrect leveling of the washing machine may cause
vibrations, the appliance to slide across the room, or
the washing process may be louder than normal.
Incorrect leveling of the machine is not subject to
warranty.

6
Installation Clearances
The washing machine should NOT touch a wall or any adjacent furniture. For optimum operation,
we recommend making sure the clearances from the walls are as indicated in the figures below.
Safe and correct appliance operation cannot be ensured if the minimum required clearances are
not observed.
Connecting the Water Line
Attach one end of the water line hose to the back of the washing machine, and attach the other
end to the water tap. Screw the line all the way onto the thread.
•If your model has connections for both hot and cold water, then connect one hose to the cold
water supply (blue wing nut or blue mark on the hose) and the other one to the hot water
supply (red wing nut or red mark on the hose), as indicated on the back of the washing
machine. Connections are labelled with letters C and H (C = cold, H = hot). HOT water
(mixture of hot and cold water) is only added for programs at WARM or higher.
•If your washing machine features a hot and cold water connection, but only one water
temperature is desired for use, do not install the water hose. Close the hot/cold water
connection on the back of the washing machine with the supplied cap.
2" (50 mm)

•For normal washing machine operation, the water main pressure should be between 0.05
and 0.8 MPa (7.25 and 116psi). Minimum dynamic water pressure can be determined by
measuring the water flow. In 15 seconds, 0.8 gal (3 liters) of water should flow from a fully
opened tap.
•Firmly tighten the water supply by hand. Check the seal after connecting the hose to ensure
there are no leaks.
NOTE: DO NOT use pliers or similar tools when connecting the hose, as this could damage the
nut and thread.
