Installation

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 Washer-

dryer.

Electric and water connections

Connecting the water inlet hose

1. Insert seal A into the

end of the inlet hose and

screw the latter onto a

cold water tap with a 3/4

gas threaded mouth

(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 Washer-dryer,

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.

Ensure that the supply taps are allowing water

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,

transferred or moved, make sure the instruction

manual accompanies the Washer-dryer 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 Washer-dryer.

2. Check whether the Washer-dryer has been

damaged during transport. If this is the case, do

not install it and contact your retailer.

3. Remove the 4

protective screws and

the rubber bush with

the respective spacer,

situated on the rear of

the appliance (see also

the installation leaflet).

NB:The plastic spacers

may fall down inside the

machine once the bolt

has been removed, and will not interfere with the

operation of the machine.

4. Do not remove external bar.

5. Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided.

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

the Washer-dryer 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 Washer-dryer 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°.
