INSTALLATION

Unpacking

You are advised to keep all transit devices so that
they can be refitted if the machine ever has to be
transported again.

1. Using a spanner, unscrew and remove the rear
right-hand bolt and lay the machine on its
back, taking care not to squash the hoses.
This can be avoided by placing one of the
corner packing pieces between the machine
and the floor.

2. Remove the polystyrene block from the bottom
of the machine and release the two plastic
bags.

3. Carefully remove the right-hand bag (1) then
the left-hand bag (2) by pulling them towards
the centre of the machine.

4. Set the machine upright and remove the two
remaining bolts from the back.

5. Pull out the three plastic spacers from the
holes into which the bolts were fitted.

6. Plug the open holes with the plugs which you
will find in the plastic bag containing the
instruction booklet.

Positioning

Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
Make sure that air circulation around the machine
is not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that
the machine does not touch the wall or other
kitchen units.
Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in
or out. Never place cardboard, wood or similar
materials under the machine to compensate for
any unevenness in the floor.

All transit bolts and packing must be
removed before using the appliance.

Water inlet

Connect the water inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4"
thread after having inserted the small filter “A”
supplied with the machine.

The other end of the inlet hose which connects to
the machine can be turned in any direction.
Simply loosen the fitting, rotate the hose and
retighten the fitting, making sure there are no
water leaks.

The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too
short and you do not wish to move the tap, you
will have to purchase a new, longer hose
specially designed for this type of use.

Water drainage

The end of the drain hose can be positioned in
three ways:

Hooked over the edge of a sink using the
plastic hose guide supplied with the machine.

In this case, make sure the end cannot come
unhooked when the machine is emptying.
This could be done by tying it to the tap with a
piece of string or attaching it to the wall.

In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must
be above the trap so that the bend is at least
60 cm above the ground.

Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less
than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm.
The end of the drain hose must always be
ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain
pipe must be larger than the outside diameter of
the drain hose.

The drain hose must not be kinked. Run it along
the floor; only the part near the drainage point
must be raised.
