Installation
This instruction manual should be kept in a safe
place for future reference. If the washer-dryer 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 contain vital
information relating to the safe installation and
operation of the appliance.
Unpacking and levelling
Unpacking
1. Remove the washer-dryer from its packaging.
2. Make sure that the washer-dryer 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
protective screws (used
during transportation) and
the rubber washer with
the corresponding
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 washer-dryer needs to be moved to
another location.
Packaging materials should not be used as toys for
children.
Levelling
1. Install the washer-dryer on a flat sturdy floor,
without resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets
or anything else.
2. If the floor is not
perfectly level, compen-
sate for any unevenness
by tightening or loosening
the adjustable front feet
(see figure); the angle of
inclination, measured in
relation to the worktop,
must not exceed 2°.
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 washer-dryer.
Connecting the electricity and water
supplies
Connecting the water inlet hose
1. Connect the supply
pipe by screwing it to a
cold water tab using a ¾
gas threaded connection
(see figure).
Before performing the
connection, allow the
water to run freely until it
is perfectly clear.
2. Connect the inlet hose
to the washer-dryer by
screwing it onto the
corresponding water inlet
of the appliance, which is
situated on the top right-
hand side of the rear part
of the appliance (see
figure).
3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over or bent.
The water pressure at the tap must fall within the
values indicated in the Technical details 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.
