Levelling

Your machine will be noisy if the two front feet are not adjusted so that the machine stands firm and level. ! The machine should be levelled from side to side and from front to back.

1. Move your machine into its final location.

- Take care not to trap or kink the hoses.

2. Turn one or both front feet anticlockwise by hand until the feet cannot be turned any more. When adjusting the feet, use a spirit level to check the machine stands level, from side to side and from front to back.

- The spring on each foot will stop them coming loose.

! 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.

! Check that seal is in place inside the hose end cap.

1. Unscrew the bolt using a 13mm spanner.

2. STOP when 3 threads can be seen.

3. Hold, slide sideways and pull to remove.

4. For safety, insert one of the plastic covers (

machine

supplied with your

) over the hole.

Before making the water connections to gas ¾ thread, allow the water to run freely from the supply tap until it is perfectly clear.

Screw the inlet end with the blue cap onto the cold water supply tap.

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

! Make sure that 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. ! Packaging materials are not children’s toys.

Drainage connections

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

The first wash cycle
