Unpacking and levelling
Unpacking
1.Once the washing machine has been removed from the packaging, check that it has not been damaged during transportation.
If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any further with the installation process.
2. Remove the four
protective screws and
the rubber bush with the
respective spacer, situated on the rear of
the appliance.
NB:The plastic spacers may fall down inside the machine once the bolt
has been removed, and
will not interfere with the operation of the machine.
3.Close the holes using the plastic covers provided in the bag.
4.Keep all the pieces; if the washing machine is transported in future, the screws and spacers will have to be replaced in order to avoid damaging the inside of the machine.
Packaging materials should not be used as toys by children.
Levelling
1.Position the washing machine on a level and sturdy floor, without resting it against walls or cabinets.
2. If the floor is uneven, the feet of the appliance may be adjusted until it reaches a perfectly horizontal position (the angle of inclination must not exceed 2 degrees).
If the appliance is levelled correctly it will be more stable and much less likely to cause vibrations and noise during the spin cycle.
If positioned on a fitted carpet or a rug, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow room for air to circulate and provide ventilation beneath the washing machine.
Connecting the water and electricity supplies
Connecting the water inlet hose
Before connecting the inlet hose to the water supply, allow the water to flow from the tap until it runs clear.
1. Connect the inlet hose to the machine, by screwing it into the cold water inlet on the upper right hand side of the back of the machine (see figure).
2. Place the seal A (provided in the bag) on the end of the inlet hose and screw it to a cold water tap with a 3/4 gas
A | threaded connection (see |
| |
| figure). |
3. The hose should not be bent or compressed.
The water pressure at the tap must fall within the values indicated in the Technical data table (see next page).
If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised technician.
Always use the new inlet hoses supplied with the machine.
