Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking

1.Once you have removed all the packaging from the washer-dryer, 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 washer-dryer 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 washer-dryer 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 washer-dryer.

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 tap 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 page 5).

!If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialised shop or an authorised technician.

!Never use second-hand or old inlet hoses; use the products supplied with the machine.
