￿ Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for

G B	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
	U n p a c k i n g
	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 3
	protective screws and
	the rubber washer with
	the respective spacer,
	situated on the rear of
	the appliance (see
	figure).

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

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, com- pensate 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°.

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. 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
A	mouth (see figure).
	Before making 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.
