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.

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.

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 gaskets and the

filters supplied with the

appliance and ensuring

that they are firmly

tightened to the taps.

The water supply pipe

marked WHITE must be

connected to the cold

water tap; the pipe marked RED must be connec-

ted to the hot water tap.

Before making the connections, allow the water to

run freely until it is perfectly clear.

2. Connect the other angled end of the water inlet

hoses to the washing machine, screwing them onto

the appliance's cold and hot water inlets, situated on

the top right-hand side and in the low part of the

rear of the appliance (see figure aside).

Cold Water Adaptor.

If you have no hot water

supply or your water

pressure is low... you can

use a Y cold fill adaptor

(see above figure).

Warning. Do not

connect appliance to a

single outlet

instantaneous water

heater.

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.

Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for

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.

Warning: should the screws be re-used, make sure
you fasten the shorter ones at the top.

Packaging materials are not children's toys.

Levelling

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, com-

pensate 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°.
