Installation
Levelling your appliance correctly will provide it with
stability and avoid any vibrations, noise and shifting
during operation. If it is placed on a fitted or loose carpet,
adjust the feet in such a way as to allow enough room for
ventilation beneath the washing machine.
Electric and water connections
Connecting the water inlet hose
1. Connect the supply pipe
by screwing it to a cold
water tap using a
3/4 gas threaded
connection (see figure).
Before performing the
connection, allow the
water to run freely until it is
perfectly clear.
2. Connect the other end of
the water inlet hose to the
washing machine,
screwing it onto the
appliance’s cold water inlet,
situated on the top right-
hand side on the rear of the
appliance (see figure).
3. Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the hose.
! The water pressure at the tap must be within the values
indicated in the Technical details table (on the page 5).
! If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact a
specialist store or an authorised serviceman.
! Ensure that the supply taps are allowing water through.
Old taps may seize in the closed position and thus
prevent water reaching the machine.
! Never use second-hand or old inlet hoses; use the
products supplied with the machine.
! Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future
reference. Should the appliance be sold, transferred or
moved, make sure the instruction manual accompanies the
washing machine to inform the new owner as to its operation
and features.
! Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital
information on installation, use and safety.
Unpacking and levelling
Unpacking
! This is a separate part of
the polystyrene base and
should be removed with
the base.
! IMPORTANT check
when unpacking your
machine.
1. Unpack the washing machine.
2. Check whether the washing machine has been
damaged during transport. If this is the case, do not install
it and contact your retailer.
3. Remove the 4 protective
screws and the rubber bush
with the respective spacer,
situated on the rear of the
appliance (see also the
installation leaflet).
4. Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided.
5. Keep all the parts: you will need them again if the
washing machine needs to be moved to another location.
! Packaging materials are not children’s toys.
Levelling
Your machine may make a considerable amount of noise if
the two front feet have not been adjusted correctly.
1. Install the washing machine
on a flat sturdy floor, without
resting it up against walls,
furniture cabinets or other.
2. If the floor is not perfectly level, compensate for any
unevenness by tightening or loosening the adjustable
front feet (see figure); the angle of inclination, measured
according to the worktop, must not exceed 2°.
