Installation
This instruction manual should be kept in a safe
GB | place for future reference. If the appliance 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.Unpack the washing machine.
2.Make sure that the 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 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: they will be needed again if the washing machine is moved to another location.
Packaging materials should not be used as toys for children.
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 and sturdy floor, without placing it against walls, cabinets or other furniture.
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 machine.
Connecting the electricity and water supplies
Connecting the water inlet hose
1. Insert seal A into the end of the inlet hose and screw the latter onto a cold water tap with a 3/4 gas threaded opening
A | (see figure). |
| |
| Before performing the |
| connection, allow the |
| water to run freely until it |
| is perfectly clear. |
2. Connect the inlet hose to the machine by screwing it onto the cold 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.
