Installation

Transit packing

After removing the packing, check the appliance for damage. If you have any doubts do not use the washer and call a qualified technician. Keep the packaging components (plastic bags, polyester foam, nails etc.) out of the reach of children since they could be dangerous.The interior of the washer- dryer, has an oscillating unit which is fixed on the back by 3 screws during transport (figure 3). Before starting up the washer-dryer, release the unit, by unscrewing the 3 screws. Seal the screw holes with the plastic plugs supplied with the appliance.

Levelling

The machine must be level in order to operate properly, To level the machine, simply regulate the adjustable feet (fig. 4); the angle of inclination (measured on the top of the machine) must not exceed 2 degrees.If the washer-dryer is installed on a carpeted floor, check that there is sufficient ventilation space between the floor and the bottom of the machine.

Water supply

Both hot and cold water supplies are preferable and they should be between 34.5kN/m²(5lb/in²) and 1034.2kN/m² (150lb/in²) pressure. The hose having the red end fitting should be encountered between the hot supply and the threaded connection adjacent to the letter H on the rear of the machine. The hose having the white end fittings should be connected between the cold supply and the threaded connection adjacent to the letter C on the rear of the ma- chine (see fig. 5). Remember to insert a sealing washer at each connection to ensure watertight joints. Do not overtighten the connections by using tools -hand tight is sufficient to prevent leaks. It is generally more convenient to have these supplies away from the sink taps. Where no suitable hot water supply is available or it does not meet these requirements, both inlet hoses may be connected to a cold supply by using two taps etc., or a «T» junction on the plumbing (see fig. 6) however, use of cold water only will increase programme times.

Note: the maximum temperature should not exceed 70°C (158°F).

Connecting the drain pipe

Connect the drain hose to a drain (with a minimum inner diameter of 4 cm), avoiding excessive crimping or the formation of elbows. It is important that the hose be positioned at a height greater than 60 cm. If this is not the case, the hose must be fastened to the hook located on the top part of the back of the machine (fig. 7).

If a drain pipe coming from the wall is used to connect the hose, have a qualified plumber/technician check to make sure that it functions properly. If your home is on the top of an apartment building or condominium, the drain may be subject to a siphoning effect which results in the machine filling and draining continuously. To eliminate this inconvenience, special valves are available on the market which can be fitted to the drain hose.
