Indesit PWDE81480WUK User Guide

Installation

This instruction manual should be kept in a safe place

for future reference. If the washer-dryer 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 washer-dryer from its packaging.

2. Make sure that the washer-dryer 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 washer-dryer needs to be moved to another

location.

Packaging materials should not be used as toys for

children.

Levelling

1. Install the washer-dryer 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

washer-dryer.

Connecting the electricity and water

supplies

Connecting the water inlet hose

1. Connect the inlet hose

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 inlet hose

to the washer-dryer 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

range of 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 hoses.

Use the ones supplied with the machine.
