Installation
GB
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 washing machine 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 and levelling
Unpacking
1. Unpack the washing
machine.
2. Check whether the
washing machine has
been damaged during
transport. If this is the
case, do not install it
and contact your
retailer.
3. Remove the four
protective screws and
the rubber washer with
the respective spacer,
situated on the rear of
the appliance (see
figure).
4. Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided.
5. Keep all the parts: you will need them again if the
washing machine needs to be moved to another
location.
Warning: should the screws be re-used, make sure
you fasten the shorter ones at the top.
Packaging materials are not children's toys.
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 washing
machine.
Electric and water connections
Connecting the water inlet hose
1. Insert seal A into the
end of the inlet hose and
screw the latter onto a
cold water tap with a 3/4
gas threaded mouth (see
A
The water pressure at the tap must be within the
values indicated in the Technical details table
(on the next page).
figure).
Before making the
connection, allow the
water to run freely until it
is perfectly clear.
2. Connect the other end
of the water inlet hose to
the washing machine,
screwing it onto the
appliance's cold water
inlet, situated on the top
right-hand side on the
rear of the appliance
(see figure).
3. Make sure there are
no kinks or bends in the
hose.
Levelling
1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor,
without resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets
or other.
2. If the floor is not
perfectly level, compensate for any unevenness
by tightening or
loosening the adjustable
front feet (see figure); the
angle of inclination,
measured according to
the worktop, must not
exceed 2°.
2
If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact
a specialist store or an authorised serviceman.
Connecting the drain hose
65 - 100 cm
Connect the drain hose,
without bending it, to a
draining duct or a wall
drain situated between
65 and 100 cm from
the floor;
When the washing machine is installed, the main
socket must be within easy reach.
Do not use extensions or multiple sockets.
The power supply cable must never be bent or
dangerously compressed.
The power supply cable must only be replaced by
an authorised serviceman.
Warning! The company denies all liability if and when
these norms are not respected.
GB
alternatively, place it
over the edge of a
basin, sink or tub,
fastening the duct
supplied to the tap (see
figure). The free end of
the hose should not be
underwater.
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.
Electric connection
Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket,
make sure that:
the socket is earthed and in compliance with the
applicable law;
the socket is able to sustain the appliance's
maximum power load indicated in the Technical
details table (on the right);
The first wash cycle
Once the appliance has been installed, and before
you use it for the first time, run a wash cycle with
detergent and no laundry, setting the 90°C
programme without a pre-wash cycle.

The washing machine should not be installed in an
outdoor environment, not even when the area is
sheltered, because it may be very dangerous to
leave it exposed to rain and thunderstorms.
