Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for

future reference. Should the appliance be sold,

transferred or moved, make sure the instruction

manual accompanies the washing machine to inform

the new owner as to its operation and features.

Read these instructions carefully: they contain

vital information on installation, use and safety.

Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking

1. Unpack the washing machine.

2. Check whether the washing machine has been

damaged during transport. If this is the case, do

not install it and contact your retailer.

3. Remove the four

protective screws and

the rubber washer with

the respective spacer,

situated on the rear of

the appliance (see

figure).

4. Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided.

5. Keep all the parts: you will need them again if

the washing machine needs to be moved to

another location.

Packaging materials are not children's toys.

Levelling

Your machine may make a considerable amount of

noise if the two front feet have not been adjusted

correctly.

1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy

floor, without resting it up against walls, furniture

cabinets or other.

2. If the floor is not

perfectly level, compen-

sate for any

unevenness by

tightening or loosening

the adjustable front

feet (see figure); the

angle of inclination,

measured according to

the worktop, must not

exceed 2°.

Levelling your appliance correctly will provide it

with stability and avoid any vibrations, noise and

shifting during operation. If it is placed on a fitted

or loose carpet, adjust the feet in such a way as to

allow enough room for ventilation beneath the

washing machine.

Electric and water connections

Connecting the water inlet hose

1. Connect the supply

pipe to the water

mains using a gas 3/4

attachment, fitting

the rubber gasket and

the filter supplied with

the appliance and

ensuring that they are

fimly tightened to the

taps.

The water supply marked C must be connected to

the cold water tap; the pipe marked H must be

connected to the hot water tap. Both pipes may

be connected to the cold water tap using the

special Y connection with multiple attachments,

supplied with the appliance (see figure).

Before making the connection, allow the water to

run freely until it is perfectly clear.

2. Connect the other

end of the water inlet

hose to the washing

machine,

screwing it onto the

appliance's cold water

inlet, situated on the

top right-hand side on

the rear of the

appliance (see figure).

3. Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the hose.

The water pressure at the tap must be within

the values indicated in the Technical details

table (on the next page).

If the water inlet hose is not long enough,

contact a specialist store or an authorised

serviceman.
