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

transit bolts 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.Having removed the 4 bolts use the 4 plastic blanking plates to cover the 4 holes.

4.Keep all the pieces; if the washing machine is transported in future, the transit bolts 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 cold water and electricity supplies

Connecting the water inlet hose

￿Before connecting the inlet hose to the cold 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 BSP

A

threaded connection

 

 

(see figure).

3.Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the inlet hose.

￿The water pressure at the tap must fall within the values indicated in the Technical data table (see next page).

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

￿Always use the new water inlet hoses supplied with the machine.
