	Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking

1.Remove the washing machine from its packaging.

2.Make sure that the washing machine 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 pro- tective screws (used during transportation) and the rubber wa- sher with the cor- responding 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 washing machine ne- eds to be moved to another location.

! Packaging materials should not be used as toys for children.

Levelling

1.Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor, without resting it up against walls, furni- ture cabinets or anything else.

2.If the floor is not perfectly level, com- pensate for any une-

venness by tightening or loosening the adjustable front feet (see figure); the angle of inclination, measu- red 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 washing machine.

Connecting the electricity and water supplies

Connecting the water inlet hose

1. Connect the sup- ply pipe by screwing it to a cold water tap using a ¾ gas threa- ded connection (see

figure).

Before performing the connection, allow the water to run freely un- til it is perfectly clear.

2. Connect the inlet hose to the washing machine by screwing it onto the correspon- ding water inlet of the appliance, which is situated on the top right-hand side of the rear part of the ap- pliance (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.
