Hotpoint aqd1170d 697 e Manual De Usuario

! This instruction manual should be kept in a 

safe place for future reference. If the washing 

machine is sold, given away or moved, please 

ensure the manual is kept with the machine, 

so that the new owner may benefit from the 

advice contained within it.

! Read these instructions carefully: they 

contain vital information relating to the safe 

installation and operation of the appliance.

! Inside the pack containing this manual, you 

will also find the guarantee and all the details 

necessary for installation.

Unpacking
1. Once you have removed all the packaging 

from the washing machine, make sure it has 

not been damaged during transportation. 

If it has been damaged, contact the retailer 

and do not proceed any further with the 

installation process.

2. Remove the 4 

protective screws 

(used during 

transportation) and 

the corresponding 

spacer, located on 

the rear part of the 

appliance (see figure). 

3. Close off the holes 

using the plastic plugs 

supplied in the pack.

4. Keep all the parts in a safe place; they will 

be needed again if the washing machine is 

moved to another location, to prevent the 

inside of the appliance being damaged.

! Packaging materials should not be used as 

toys for children.

Levelling
1. Place the washing machine on a flat sturdy 

floor, without resting it up against walls, 

cabinets anything else. 

2. If the floor is 

uneven, the front feet 

of the machine may 

be adjusted until it 

reaches a horizontal 

position (the angle of 

inclination must not 

exceed 2 degrees). 

! If the appliance is levelled correctly, it will 

be more stable and much less likely to cause 

vibrations and noise while it is operating, 

particularly during the spin cycle.

! 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 washing 

machine. 

! Before connecting the inlet hose to the water 

1. Connect the inlet 

hose to the machine 

by screwing it onto 

the cold water inlet of 

the appliance, which 

is situated on the top 

right-hand side of 

the rear part of the 

appliance (see figure).

2. Connect the inlet 

hose by screwing it to 

a cold water tap using 

a 3/4 gas threaded 

connection (see 

figure).

3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over 

or bent.

! The water pressure at the tap must fall within 

the values indicated in the Technical data table 

! If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a 

specialised shop or an authorised technician.

! Never use second-hand or old inlet hoses; 

use the products supplied with the machine.
