Installation and removal

When the new washer- dryer arrives

Whether new or just transported to a new house, installation is extremely important for the correct functioning of your washer-dryer.

After removing the appliance from its packaging, check that it is intact. If in doubt, contact a qualified technician immediately.

The inside of the machine is supported, for transportation, by four screws on the back panel.

Connection to the water mains

Water pressure must range within the values indicated on the data plate on the rear of your washer- dryer.If the water pipes are new or left unused, then before connecting themachinerunthewateruntilclear to remove debris. Connect the inlet hose to a cold water tap having a

¾“ BSP thread. Ensure that the rubber sealing washer-dryers are fitted at each end of the inlet hose, with the fitter washer-dryer at the tap end.

Electric connection

Before connecting the appliance to the electric socket, be sure that:

1) the electric socket is able to

sustain the

appliance’s

maximum

power load

indicated on the data plate

Before using the washer-dryer,remove the screws, remove the spacers together with the rubber tubes attached to them (keeping all the parts) and use the plastic plugs provided to fill in the holes.

the appliance’s plug. If not, do

 

not use adapters, but replace

 

either the socket or the plug;

4)

electric household appliances

 

must be equipped with an

 

“earthing” system.

The washer-dryer must be levelled appropriatey in order to guarantee its correct functioning.To level the appliance, the front feet must be adjusted; the angle of inclination, measuredaccordingtotheworktop, must not exceed 2°.When placed on carpet, make sure the ventilation is not reduced.

The front feet are adjustable.

Retain the transit screws,

spacers and washers. Should you move house then these should be replaced to support the inside of the machine to prevent damage when transporting the machine.

Connecting the drain hose There are two hooks (right or left) on the rear of your washer-dryer to which the drain hose is to be fixed. Insert the other end in a stand pipe or place it on the edge of a sink or tub avoiding excessive kinks and bending. It should be placed at a height ranging from 60 to 100 cm. If it is necessary to fix the end of the hose at a height below 60 cm from the ground, it must be fixed in the appropriate hook placed on the upper part of the back panel.

The guide for draining into tubs and sinks.

The end of the drain hose must be positioned so that it cannot become submerged.

Extensions are unadvisable. In case of absolute need, the extension must have the same diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 150 cm. In case of wall draining pipes, their efficiency must be checked by a qualified technician. If the dwelling is on one of the upper floors of a building, there may be drain trap problems causing the washer-dryer to load and unload water continuously.

In order to avoid such an inconvenience, special anti-drain trap valves are available in shops.
