IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or
injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
• Read all instructions before using the appliance.
• Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned
in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry
cleaning solvents, other flammable, or exlosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
• Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children.
• Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the washing compartment.
• Do not add gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These
substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
• Do not install or store this appliance where it will be
exposed to the weather.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Under certain conditions Hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2
weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the
hot water system has not been used for such a period,
before using the appliance, turn on all hot water faucets
and let the water flow from each for several minutes.
This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the
gas is flammable do not smoke or use an open flame
during this time.
• Turn off water faucets to relieve pressure on hoses and
valves and to minimize leakage if a break or rupture
occurs.
• Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or drum is
moving.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or
attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended
in the user-maintenance instructions or in published
user-repair instructions that you understand and have
the skills to carry out.
• Good, safe practices and caution MUST be applied
when installing, operating, and maintaining any appliance. Follow basic precaution.
• Disconnect power to the washer at the circuit breaker
or fuse box, or unplug the machine in an emergency or
when servicing required. Have the installer show you and
label the proper switch or fuse at the electrical disconnect box.
• The interior of the appliance should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
• Before loading the washer, make sure the drum is empty.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of
electric shock by providing a path of least resistence for
electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service representative
or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly gounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance: if it will
not fit outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.

! This instruction manual should be kept in a safe place
for future reference. If the washer is sold, transferred or
moved, make sure that the instruction manual remains with
the machine so that the new owner is able to familiarise
himself/herself with its operation and features.
! Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital infor-
mation relating to the safe installation and operation of the
appliance.
Unpacking and levelling
Unpacking
1. Remove the washer from its packaging.
2. Make sure that the washer has not been damaged
during the transportation process. If it has been damaged,
contact the retailer and do not proceed any further with the
installation process.
3. Remove the 4 protective
screws (used during transportation) and the rubber
washer with the corresponding spacer, located on the
rear part of the appliance
(see figure).
Levelling the machine correctly will provide it with stability,
help to avoid vibrations and excessive noise and prevent it
from shifting while it is operating.
Minimum Installation Spacing
This appliance may be installed in a recessed area, closet
or alcove. The installation spacing is in inches and is the
minimum acceptable.
4. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs provided.
5. Keep all the parts in a safe place: you will need them
again if the washer needs to be moved to another location.
! Packaging materials should not be used as toys for
children.
Levelling
1. Install the washer on a flat sturdy floor, without resting it
up against walls, furniture cabinets or anything else.
2. If the floor is not perfectly
level, compensate for any
unevenness by tightening
or loosening the adjustable
front feet (see figure); the an-
gle of inclination, measured
in relation to the worktop,
must not exceed 2°.
*Additional spacing should be considered for easy installation, servicing and compliance with local codes and
ordinances. Installations must conform with the minimum
dimensions indicated.

Important:
thin the values indicated on the “Technical Data”
chart.
1. Screw the cold water fill
hose (C blue connector) onto
the cold water supply until
tight.
2. turn on the cold water
supply and check for leaks,
tighten if necessary.
3. Screw the hot water fill
hose (H red connector) onto
the hot water supply until tight.
4. Turn on the hot water supply and check for leaks,
tighten if necessary.
Important:
mage to the couplings can result. The couplings
should be tightened by hand; a tool should only
be used if a leak occurs.
Drainage
• Standpipe Diameter/Capacity - Needs a 1 ¼”
minimum diameter standpipe with a minimum carry-away
capacity of 7 gallons per minute.
• Top of Standpipe - Must be between 25” - 34” high
from the bottom of the machine.
• Outlet End of Drain Hose (provided with the unit)
- Must be at least 20” above the bottom of the washer-
dryer. An air break must be available at the standpipe to
avoid siphoning. No more than 6” of the drain hose should
be inserted into the drain pipe to prevent siphoning.
Connecting the drain hose
It is possible for the water to be discharged into a sink,
standpipe or drainpipe, but an air break must be available
at a min. 20” height to prevent the machine from siphoning
(Fig. 6).
Water pressure MUST range wi-
Do not use excessive force. Da-
Standpipe Drain System - Installations require a minimum
1 ¼” (3.2 cm) diameter standpipe with a minimum carry
away capacity of 7 gallons (26 liters) per minute.
Wall or Floor Standpipe Drain System - The top of the
standpipe must be between 25” (62 cm) - 34” (86 cm)
from the bottom of the washer (Fig. 4).
Sink Drainpipe System
system must be above the trap (Fig. 5). When routing the
drain hose through cabinets or walls, use a protective material such as electrical or duct tape to cover sharp edges
that could damage the drain hose. Use a suitable clamp
to secure the drain hose to the “Y” branch or the disposer.
With a sink drainpipe system, you may connect directly:
1) to a disposer by following the manufacturers attachment
method.
2) directly to a “Y” branch tail piece (available at most
hardware stores).
Important:
not kinked and that water flow is not restricted.
3) Through the floor to a separate trap. The trap must be
vented to prevent siphoning. To provide proper venting,
install an Air Gap Kit (available at most hardware stores).
4) To the to the faucet using a Faucet Adapter Kit (available
separately).
• Use a U-Clamp (provided in your accessories packet)
or suitable item to secure the outlet end of the drain hose
(pre-installed on the back of your machine).
