Installation

! 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

1. Unpack the machine.

2. Check whether the washer dryer has been damaged during transport. If this is the case, do not install it and contact your retailer.

Remove the transit fixings

IMPORTANT: Follow these instructions to remove the TWO transit fixings.

Situated one either side of the rear panel, BOTH transit bolts

MUST be removed before use.

! Failure to do so may cause damage to your machine. It is important the transit bolt and spacer (see pic) come out intact.

! Packaging materials are not childrens toys.

Levelling

1. Install the machine on a flat sturdy floor, without resting it up against walls, cabinets etc.

2. Compensate for any unevenness by tightening or loosening the adjustable front feet. When adjusting the feet, use a spirit level to check the machine stands level, from side to side and from front to back.

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 machine.

Water connection

Connecting the water inlet hose. Remember that this is a cold-fill machine and the fill hose fitted to the rear of the machine must be connected to the cold water supply.

1. Unscrew the bolt using a 13mm spanner.

2. STOP seen.

3. Hold, slide sideways and pull to remove.

4. For safety, insert one of the plastic covers (supplied with your machine) over the hole.

when 3 threads can be

Before making the connections to the water outlet, allow the water to run freely from the cold water supply tap until it is perfectly clear.

Screw the cold water fill hose onto the cold water supply tap until tight.

Turn the tap on and check for leaks: tighten if necessary.

! 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 (next page).

! If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised serviceman.

! Always use new hoses.

! Check the water hose at least once a year, replace

any that are cracked as worn hoses could split under water pressure.

! Repeat steps 1 to 4 to remove the second transit bolt.

Installation

Drainage connections

! The free end of the hose should not be under water.

! We advise against the use of hose extensions. In

case of absolute need, the extension must have the same diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 150cm in length.

A. Connect the drain hose, without kinking it, to a draining duct or a wall drain fixed at a height between 65 and 100cm from the floor. Use the curved bracket, if reqired.

B. Alternatively, place it over the edge of a basin, sink or tub, fastening the hose supplied to the tap.

Electrical connections

The first wash cycle

Once the appliance has been installed and before you use it for the first time, run a wash cycle without detergent and no laundry, setting the 90˚C programme without a pre-wash cycle.
