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 4

 

protective screws and

 

the rubber bush with the

 

respective spacer,

 

situated on the rear of

 

the appliance (see also

 

the installation leaflet).

4.Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided.

5.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, 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 by screwing it to a cold water tab 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 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.

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