Installation
! This instruction manual should be kept in a safe 
place for future reference. If the washing machine 
is sold, transferred or moved, make sure that the 
instruction manual remains with the machine so 
that the new owner is able to familiarise himself/
herself with its operation and features.
! Read these instructions carefully: they 
contain vital information relating to the safe 
installation and operation of the appliance.
Unpacking and levelling
Unpacking
1. Remove the washing machine from its 
packaging.
2. Make sure that the washing machine has 
not been damaged during the transportation 
process. If it has been damaged, contact the 
retailer and do not proceed any further with 
the installation process.
3. Remove the 4 
protective screws 
(used during 
transportation) 
and the rubber 
washer with the 
corresponding 
spacer, located on 
the rear part of the 
appliance (see figure).
4. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs 
provided.
5. Keep all the parts in a safe place: you will 
need them again if the washing machine 
needs to be moved to another location.
! Packaging materials should not be used as 
toys for children.
Levelling
1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy 
floor, without resting it up against walls, 
furniture cabinets or anything else.
2. If the floor is 
not perfectly level, 
compensate for 
any unevenness 
by tightening or 
loosening the 
adjustable front 
feet (see figure); the 
angle of inclination, 
measured in relation 
to the worktop, must 
not exceed 2°.
Levelling the machine correctly will provide 
it with stability, help to avoid vibrations and 
excessive noise and prevent it from shifting 
while it is operating. 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
1. Connect the supply 
pipe by screwing it to 
a cold water tap using 
a ¾ gas threaded 
connection (see 
figure). 
Before performing 
the connection, allow 
the water to run freely 
until it is perfectly 
clear.
2. Connect the 
inlet hose to the 
washing machine by 
screwing it onto the 
corresponding water 
inlet of the appliance, 
which is situated on 
the top right-hand 
side of the rear part 
of the appliance (see 
figure).
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 details 
table (see page 5).
! If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a 
specialised shop or an authorised technician.
! Never use second-hand hoses.
! Use the ones supplied with the machine.
