Unpacking and levelling

 

Unpacking

 

1. Unpack the washing machine.

 

2. Check whether the washing machine has been

 

damaged during transport. If this is the case, do

 

not install it and contact your retailer.

3. Remove the 4 protective screws and the rubber bush with the respective spacer, situated on the rear of the appliance (see also

the installation leaflet).

NB:The plastic spacers

may fall down inside the machine once the bolt

has been removed, and will not interfere with the operation of the machine.

4.Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided.

5.Keep all the parts: you will need them again if the washing machine needs to be moved to another location.

!Packaging materials are not children's toys.

Levelling

Your machine may make a considerable amount of noise if the two front feet have not been adjusted correctly.

1.Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor, without resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or other.

2. If the floor is not perfectly level, com- pensate for any unevenness by tightening or loosening the adjustable front feet (see figure); the angle of inclination must not exceed 2°, when measured over the worktop.

Levelling your appliance correctly will provide it with stability and avoid any vibrations, noise and shifting during operation. If it is placed on a fitted or loose carpet, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow enough room for ventilation beneath the washing machine.

Electric and water connections

Connecting the water inlet hose

1. Connect the supply pipe by screwing it to a cold water tap using a 3/4 gas threaded connection (see figure). Before performing the connection, allow the water to run freely until it is perfectly clear.

2. Connect the other end of the water inlet hose to the washing machine, screwing it onto the appliance's cold water inlet, situated on the top right-hand side on the rear of the appliance (see figure).

3.Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the hose.

!The water pressure at the tap must be within the values indicated in the Technical details table (see page 5).

!If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised serviceman.

!Ensure that the supply taps are allowing water through. Old taps may seize in the closed position and thus prevent water reaching the machine.
