5. Drain hose

• Firmly connect the drain hose to the siphon or

another outlet for drain water. (see “Installation”/ Connect the water drain hose”).

• If the washing machine is connected to a built-in drainage system, ensure the latter is equipped with a vent to avoid simultaneous loading and draining of water (siphoning effect).

6. Electrical connection

INSTALLATION

Removal of transport bracket

The washing machine is ﬁtted with a transport bracket to avoid any possible damage during transport.

IMPORTANT: Before using the washing machine, the transport bracket at the back MUST be removed.

1. Unscrew the two screws “A” and the four screws

“B” with a ﬂat screwdriver or a No. 8 hex nut box spanner (picture 2).

2. Remove the transport bracket (picture 3).

3. Replace the four outer screws “B” on the machine and tighten them (picture 2).

4. Clip the two covers “C” supplied into the openings “D” of the washing machine (picture 4).

Note: do not forget to replace and tighten the four outer screws.

Adjust the feet (picture 5, 6)

Install the washing machine on a level surface, near to electrical, water and drain connections.

If the ﬂoor is uneven, adjust the feet (do not insert pieces of wood, cardboard etc. under the feet):

1. Screw out the washing machine´s feet by hand with 2-3 clockwise turns and then slacken the locknut by wrench.

2. Adjust the height of the feet by hand.

3. Retighten the locknut by turning it anti-clockwise

towards the washing machine’s bottom.

Make sure that the feet are resting correctly on the ﬂoor and that the washing machine is perfectly level and stable (use a spirit level).

The washing machine can be installed in an area 40 cm wide and 63 cm deep.

Note: if you install the machine on thick carpet, adjust the feet to ensure that there is sufﬁcient space under the machine for the air to circulate.

Connect the water inlet hose (picture 7)

1. Carefully screw the water inlet hose to the valve

on the rear side of the washing machine (A); screw the other end of the hose to the tap by hand.

2. Make sure there are no kinks in the hose.

3. Check water-tightness of tap and washing machine

connections by turning the tap completely on.

• If the hose is too short, replace it with a suitable length of pressure resistant hose (1000 kPa min, EN 61770 approved type).

• If you need a longer waterstop hose, contact our After Sales Service or your dealer.

• Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and cracks and replace if necessary.

• Check the correct alignment of the ferrule on the tap thread (pict. 8).

• The washing machine can be connected without a backﬂow valve.

Water stop anti-ﬂooding system (picture 9)

(if available)

• Screw the hose to the water supply tap. Turn the tap fully on and check the water-tightness of the connection.

• The washing machine must not be connected to the mixing tap of a non-pressurized water heater!

• Do not immerse the water stop device of the hose into water; otherwise it will loose its protective function.

• If the ﬂexible hose is damaged, unplug the washing machine from the mains immediately, turn off the tap and replace the hose.

• If the ﬂexible hose is too short, replace it with a 3 m Water Stop hose (available from After-Sales Service or from your dealer).

Connect the water drain hose (picture 10)

Unhook the drain hose from the left clip, see arrow “A” on picture.

Important: Do NOT loosen the drain hose from the right connection, see arrow “B” on picture. Otherwise,

there is the risk of leakage and of scalding with hot water.

Firmly connect the drain hose to the siphon or another outlet for drain water. If you need to add an extension, use a ﬂexible hose of the same size and secure the unions with screw-on hose clips. Maximum overall drain hose length: 2.50 m. Maximum drain height: 100 cm. Minimum drain height: 55 cm.

Important:

Make sure there are no kinks in the drain hose and take precautions against it falling while the washing machine is running.
