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 infor-
mation 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 tran-
sportation) and the rubber
washer with the correspon-
ding 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 re-
sting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or anything else.
2. If the floor is not perfectly
level, compensate for any
unevenness by tightening
or loosening the adjusta-
ble 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 tap using a ¾ gas
threaded connection (see
figure).
Before performing the con-
nection, 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 corre-
sponding water inlet of the
appliance, which is situa-
ted 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 page 5).
! 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.
