INSTALLING THE MACHINE | 17 |
| SETTING THE MACHINE LEVEL |
4 | After selecting a suitable position, level the machine carefully using the adjustable |
feet (Fig. 4). Particular care must be taken when selecting the position, levelling the | |
| washing machine and ensuring the safety of lock nuts. |
| If levelling is not carried out correctly, the washing machine will be unstable and |
| noisy during operation, which may result in damage. |
| If the machine stands on a carpet floor, make sure that air can circulate freely be- |
| tween the washing machine and the floor itself. |
| It is not recommended that the machine be installed in locations where the tempera- |
| ture is liable to drop below freezing. |

CONNECTION TO THE WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM
▼The mains water pressure must be between 0.05 and 1.00 MPa (0.5 - 10 bar.)
▼Before connecting the water fill hose, open the valve and allow a quantity of water to flow. This will censure that the supply pipes are free from impurities, such as sand or rust (this operation is very important when the washing ma- chine is being connected to a new supply system or if the system has not been used for a long period of time).
▼Connect the water fill hose to a 3/4 threaded cold water outlet.
N.B.: With washing machines which are equipped with a double electro- valve (for hot and cold water), connect the red tube, to the hot water tap and the other tube to the cold water tap.
▼Place the filter washer supplied between the hose and the valve and hand tighten the connection as much as possible (fig. 5).
▼Fit the washer on the other end of the supply hose, and screw it onto the washing machine (fig. 6).
▼The water supply tap must be fully open when washing.
▼The water drain hose must be placed at least 60 cm and not more than 90 cm from the floor (fig. 7).
▼If the drain hose is connected to a fixed drainage system, the free end must be inserted in a pipe of minimum internal diameter 40 mm.
▼The drain hose water connection to the drainage system must not be hermetically sealed, as this would cause air to accumulate and the water to siphon out.

▼If the waste water is to be discharged into a sink or washbasin, insert the hose in the special bracket supplied and hook it over the edge of the sink or wash- basin. Then tie the hose and bracket to a tap or similar (fig. 8). To avoid over- flowing, the sink drain must be clear of obstructions and must be able to empty quickly.
