This instruction manual should be kept in a safe place
AUS | for future reference. If the washing machine is sold, |
| |
| given away or moved, please ensure the manual is kept |
| with the machine, so that the new owner may benefit |
| from the advice contained within it. |
| Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital |
| information relating to the safe installation and operation |
| of the appliance. |
| Inside the pack containing this manual, you will also |
| find the guarantee and all the details necessary for |
| installation. |
| Unpacking and levelling |
Unpacking
1.Once you have removed all the packaging from the washing machine, make sure 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 4 protective screws (used during transportation) and the corresponding spacer, located on the rear part of the appliance (see figure).
3.Close off the holes using the plastic plugs supplied in the pack.
4.Keep all the parts in a safe place; they will be needed again if the washing machine is moved to another location, to prevent the inside of the appliance being damaged.
Packaging materials should not be used as toys for children.
Levelling
1.Place the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor, without resting it up against walls or cabinets.
2. If the floor is uneven, the front feet of the machine may be adjusted until it reaches a 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 while it is operating, particularly during the spin cycle.
If it is placed on carpet or a rug, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow a sufficient ventilation space underneath the washing machine.
Connecting the electricity and water supplies
Connecting the water inlet hose
Before connecting the inlet hose to the water supply, run the water until it is perfectly clear.
1. Connect the inlet hose to the machine by screwing it onto the cold water inlet of the appliance, which is situated on the top right- hand side of the rear part of the appliance (see figure).
2. Connect the inlet hose by screwing it to a cold water tab using a 3/4 gas threaded connection (see figure).
3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over or bent.
The water pressure at the tap must fall within the values indicated in the Technical data table (see next page).
If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialised shop or an authorised technician.
