Installation

! Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for

GB	future reference. Should the appliance be sold,
	transferred or moved, make sure the instruction
	manual accompanies the Washer-dryer to inform
	the new owner as to its operation and features.
	! Read these instructions carefully: they contain
	vital information on installation, use and safety.
	Unpacking and levelling
	Unpacking
	1. Unpack the Washer-dryer.
	2. Check whether the Washer-dryer has been
	damaged during transport. If this is the case, do
	not install it and contact your retailer.

3. Remove the 2

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.Do not remove external bar.

5.Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided.

6.Keep all the parts: you will need them again if the Washer-dryer 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 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, com- pensate 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

	NOTE: the seal is
	included with the fill
	hose on UK produced
	models. So 1 should
A	read.
	1. Connect the single end
	hose connection onto
	cold water tap with ¾
	bsp thread etc. (see
	figure).
Before making the connection, allow the water to
run freely until it is perfectly clear.

2. Connect the double end hose connection to the washer dryer. Screw connections onto both of the inlet valves located at the top right- hand side at the rear of the appliance making sure the flexible pipe section of the "Y" is not

kinked (see figure).

!Although the two pipes are now connected to the rear of the appliance, the washer dryer will draw cold water as is required for both wash programmes and tumble drying as required. Note: This appliance SHOULD NOT BE CONNECTED TO A HOT WATER SUPPLY.

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.

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