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.

1. Connect the supply 

pipe by screwing it to 

a cold water tap using 

a 3/4 gas threaded 

connection (see figu-

re). 

Before performing the 

connection, allow the 

water to run freely un-

til 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, situa-

ted  on  the  top  right-

hand side on the rear 

of  the  appliance  (see 

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 page 5).

! If the water inlet hose is not long enough, 

contact a specialist store or an authorised 

serviceman.

! Ensure that the supply taps are allowing wa-

ter through. Old taps may seize in the closed 

position and thus prevent water reaching the 

machine.

! Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for 

future reference. Should the appliance be sold, tran-

sferred 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.

! This is a separate 

part of the polystyre-

ne base and should 

be removed with the 

base.

! IMPORTANT check 

when unpacking 

your machine.

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 4 pro-

tective screws and 

the rubber bush with 

the respective spacer, 

situated on the rear of 

the appliance (see also 

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.

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, furni-

ture cabinets or other.

2. If the floor is not per-

fectly level, compensa-

te for any unevenness 

by tightening or loo-

sening the adjustable 

front feet (see figure);
