	reference. Should the appliance be sold, transferred or
	moved, make sure the instruction manual accompanies
	the Washer-dryer 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 Washer-dryer.
	2. Check whether the Washer-dryer has been damaged
	during transport. If this is the case, do not install it
	and contact your retailer.

3. Remove the 4 pro-

tective screws and the

rubber bush with the

respective spacer, situa- ted 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 Washer-dryer 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 Washer-dryer on a flat sturdy floor, wi- thout resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or other.

2. If the floor is not per- fectly level, compensate for any unevenness by tightening or loosening the adjustable front feet (see figure); the angle of inclination, measured ac- cording to the worktop, must not exceed 2°.

Levelling your appliance correctly will provide it with stability and avoid any vibrations, noise and shifting du- ring 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 Washer-dryer.

Electric and water connections

Connecting the water inlet hose

1. Connect the supply pipe by screwing it to a cold water tab using a

3/4 gas threaded connec- tion (see figure).

Before performing the connection, allow the wa- ter to run freely until it is perfectly clear.

2. Connect the other end of the water inlet hose to the Washer-dryer, screwing it onto the ap- pliance’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 throu- gh. Old taps may seize in the closed position and thus prevent water reaching the machine.
