| 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).
Unlocking the chest
To remove the bracket that locks the chest in place and supports the tub during transportation, remove the "central" screws, then hold it firmly as you push it backwards and take it out; loosen the 4 "side" screws and remove the metal strip.
After you have completed this process fit the plastic toe- kick supplied (in the "chest"), making sure that the hooks have been positioned in the holes provided before pushing it towards the machine.
For more detailed information please refer to the guidelines provided inside the "chest".
Packaging materials should not be used as toys by 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).
