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	A
since they could be dangerous.The interior of the washer,
has an oscillating unit which is fixed on the back by 3 screws
during transport (figure 3). Before starting up the washer,
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 is installed on a carpeted floor, check that there is sufficient ventilation space between the floor and the bottom of the machine.

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.

Water supply

Make sure that the water pressure is between the maximum and minimum values indicated on the data plate located on the back of the washer. Connect the inlet hose to a cold water tap with a 3/4 gas threaded opening, and fit the filter and the rubber gasket supplied with the washer. Check that it is tightly screwed to the tap (see fig. 5). If the water piping is new or has not been udes for a long time, before making the connection, let the water run until it is clear and free from impurities. This step is necessary to ensure that the incoming water does not clog and possibly damage the washer. Connect the other end of the pipe to the appliance, at the top on the right, by the water connection (see fig. 6).
