INSTALLING THE MACHINE | 7 |
LEVELLING THE WASHING MACHINE |
|
After selecting a suitable position, level the machine carefully using the adjustable feet (Fig. 4). Particular care must be taken when selecting the position, levelling the washing machine and ensuring the safety of lock nuts.
If levelling is not carried out correctly, the washing machine will be unstable and noisy during operation, which may result in dam- age.
If the machine stands on a carpet floor, make sure that air can circulate freely between the washing machine and the fl oor itself. It is not recommended that the machine be installed in locations where the temperature is liable to drop below freezing.
CONNECTION TO THE WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM
| ▼ The mains water pressure must be between 0.05 |
| and 1.00 MPa (0.5 - 10 bar.) |
| ▼ Before connecting the water fill hose, open the |
| valve and allow a quantity of water to flow. This |
| will censure that the supply pipes are free from |
| impurities, such as sand or rust (this operation is |
| very important when the washing machine is being |
| connected to a new supply system or if the system |
5A | has not been used for a long period of time). |
▼ Connect the water fill hose to a 3/4 threaded cold | |
| water outlet. |
N.B. On electronic washing machines fitted with a dual solenoid valve (hot and cold water), connect the red hose to the hot water supply valve and the other hose to the cold water supply valve.
If a hot water supply is not available, both hoses must be connected to the cold supply using the fitting supplied (see fig. 5A)
▼Place the fi lter washer supplied between the hose and the valve and hand tighten the connection as much as possible (fi g. 5).
N.B.: Use the new pipe supplied with the machine and do not re- use the old one.
▼Fit the washer on the other end of the supply hose, and screw it onto the wash- ing machine (fi g. 6).
▼The water supply tap must be fully open when washing.
▼The water drain hose must be placed at least 60 cm and not more than 90 cm from the fl oor (fi g. 7).
▼If the drain hose is connected to a fi xed drainage system, the free end must be inserted in a pipe of minimum internal diameter 40 mm.
▼The drain hose water connection to the drainage system must not be hermeti- cally sealed, as this would cause air to accumulate and the water to siphon out.
▼If the waste water is to be discharged into a sink or washbasin, insert the hose in the special bracket supplied and hook it over the edge of the sink or washbasin. Then tie the hose and bracket to a tap or similar (fi g. 8). To avoid overfl owing, the sink drain must be clear of obstructions and must be able to empty quickly.
