3. INSTALLATION
3.1. Unpacking
Packing used to protect internal parts of the washing machine during transport must be removed before the washing machine is put into service for the first ti- me.
Remove all packing from the washing machine. Tilt the washing machine sideways and then remove the packing under the motor, and straighten the washing machine.
Tilt the washing machine back- wards, rotate it by a quarter of a turn on one of its corner to re- move the transport base.
Open the washing machine lid and remove the immobilization packing and plastic films.
Close the lid.
Use a 10 mm spanner to remo- ve the two screws and spacers at the back.
You can now see the openings that must be closed with the ca- ches in the pack attached to the washing machine; do not forget to fold down the central capsule.
Make sure that you have remo- ved all these parts from your washing machine and keep them so that you can use them again if you need them for future transport.
If you want to keep your washing machine aligned with the adjacent furniture, you can cut the pipe support strip at the back of your washing machine. Leave the two side closers in place.
3.2. Position
Put the washing machine on a flat hard floor in a well ventilated room.
Make sure that your washing machine does not touch the wall or any other furniture in the room.
3.3. Moving your washing machine
If you want to move your washing machine, lift it onto its rollers by pulling the lever at the bottom of the washing machine all the way to the left. When you have put your washing machine into the required location, put the lever back into its initial position.
3.4. Leveling
Precise leveling will prevent vibrations, noise and mo- vements of the washing machine during operation.
Make the washing machine le- vel by adjusting the leveling screw that is too short.
Unscrew the stand and locking collar assembly (lift the washing machine if necessary).
When the washing machine is stable, maintain the stand on the ground and turn the locking collar as far as posible.
3.5. Water inlet
Screw the supply ppe con- nector onto the water inlet tap (20x27 mm), remembering to use the washer provided with the washing machine.
Open the water inlet tap.
