Installation

￿ Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for

GB	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
	Unpacking
	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 4
	protective screws and
	the rubber bush with
	the respective spacer,
	situated on the rear of
	the appliance (see also
	the installation leaflet).
	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.
	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

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 sturdy floor, without resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or other.

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 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 next page).

￿If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised serviceman.

￿Ensure that the supply taps are allowing water through. Old taps may seize in the closed position and thus prevent water reaching the machine.
