Levelling

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

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

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

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 Washer-dryer.

Electric and water connections

Connecting the water inlet hose

1. Connect the supply

pipe to the water mains using a gas 3/4

attachment, fitting

the rubber gasket and the filter supplied with

the appliance and

ensuring that they are

fimly tightened to the

taps.

The water supply marked C must be connected to the cold water tap; the pipe marked H must be connected to the hot water tap. Both pipes may be connected to the cold water tap using the special Y connection with multiple attachments, supplied with the appliance (see figure).

Before making 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 Washer- dryer, 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 (on the next page).

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