36Installation

Please ensure that when the appliance is installed, it is easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.

Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in or out. Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor.

Water inlet

An inlet hose is supplied and can be found inside the machine drum.

This appliance must be connected to a cold water supply.

Do not use the hose from your previous machine to connect to the water supply.

1.Open the porthole and extract the inlet hose.

2. Connect the hose with the angled con- nection to the machine.

Do not place the inlet hose downwards. Angle the hose to the left or right de- pending on the position of your water tap.

3. Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring nut. After positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten the ring nut again to prevent leaks.

4. Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4” thread. Always use the hose supplied with the appliance.

The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too short and you do not wish to move the tap, you will have to purchase a new, longer hose specially designed for this type of use.

Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulations require- ments. Check the minimum water pressure required for safe operation of the appliance in the chapter "Technical Data".
