Installation

! This instruction manual should be kept in a
EN
safe place for future reference. If the washing
machine is sold, given away or moved, please
ensure the manual is kept with the machine,
so that the new owner may benefit from the
advice contained within it.
! Read these instructions carefully: they
contain vital information relating to the safe
installation and operation of the appliance.
! Inside the pack containing this manual, you
will also find the guarantee and all the details
necessary for installation.

Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking
1. Once you have removed all the packaging
from the washing machine, make sure it has not
been damaged during transportation. If it has
been damaged, contact the retailer and do not
proceed any further with the installation process.
3. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs
supplied in the pack.
4. Keep all the parts in a safe place; they will
be needed again if the washing machine is
moved to another location, to prevent the
inside of the appliance being damaged.
! Packaging materials should not be used as
toys for children.
Levelling
1. Place the washing machine on a flat sturdy
floor, without resting it up against walls or
cabinets.

2. Remove the 4
protective screws
(used during
transportation) and
the corresponding
spacer, located on
the rear part of the
appliance (see figure).
2. If the floor is
uneven, the front feet
of the machine may
be adjusted until it
reaches a horizontal
position (the angle of
inclination must not
exceed 2 degrees).
! If the appliance is levelled correctly, it will
be more stable and much less likely to cause
vibrations and noise while it is operating,
particularly during the spin cycle.
! If it is placed on carpet or a rug, adjust the
feet in such a way as to allow a sufficient
ventilation space underneath the washing
machine.
Connecting the electricity and
water supplies
Connecting the water inlet hose
! Before connecting the inlet hose to the water
supply, run the water until it is perfectly clear.
3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over
or bent.
! The water pressure at the tap must fall within
the values indicated in the Technical data table
(see next page).
! If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a
specialised shop or an authorised technician.
! Never use second-hand or old inlet hoses;
use the products supplied with the machine.
1. Connect the inlet
hose to the machine
by screwing it onto
the cold water inlet of
the appliance, which
is situated on the top
right-hand side of
the rear part of the
appliance (see figure).
2. Connect the inlet
hose by screwing it to
a cold water tap using
a 3/4 gas threaded
connection (see
figure).
